Summary

rust2-ffi's Swift generator now emits each object that is not Copy and not thrown as an error as a ~Copyable struct that owns its handle and frees it in deinit. Swift's compiler now checks each move and borrow Rust makes:

• self, &self, &mut self and &mut T become consuming, borrowing, mutating and inout.
• A tuple holding a handle becomes a generated @frozen struct, such as TupleStringCounter, with fields _0, _1, and so on.
• An array of handles becomes swift-collections' UniqueArray.
• An Option<&T> of a handle becomes one overload with the parameter and one without, each present parameter labelled by its name: clamped(), clamped(low:), clamped(high:), clamped(low:high:). More than two per function is a compile error at the item's span, which the driver emits before any language is generated (ffi/fixtures/reject's among).
• Option<&mut T> becomes inout T?.
• The per-handle atomic hold count is gone from structs. Classes (Copy objects and errors) keep it.
• Under #if compiler(>=6.4), a struct with PartialEq conforms to Equatable.

ffi/tests/api.swift now has four compile-fail cases: moved, boxed moved, lent moved and lent kept. ffi/tests/fixtures.rs builds each case with -D<CASE> and checks swiftc's diagnostic. The rest of the script still matches the native transcript. just ffi moq-swift passes with moq's Swift adapted. It needed moq-dev/rust2#693's flac md5 exclusion, now merged in.

Public API impact and migration

This breaks every generated Swift handle type and every signature that takes one:

• Bind an object you call a &mut self method on with var, not let. Pass &mut T as &x.
• An object can't be copied. Moving one twice, or keeping a lent one past its call, is a compile error. Share one through a class holder, as ffi/moq/moq.swift's Held and Slot do.
• "\(x)" and debug(x) become x.description and x.debugDescription, because Swift 6.3 conforms no noncopyable type to CustomStringConvertible.
• A list of handles is a UniqueArray<T>. A tuple holding one is a TupleAB struct: read t._0, or destructure with let a = t._0; let b = t._1.
• f(x) with an Option<&T> becomes f(name: x), or f() for None.
• The generated module imports BasicContainers from swift-collections 1.7.5, so a consumer must build and link it. just ffi swift-collections builds the static libraries from a pinned rev.

Hold count benchmark

Release library, -O, median of 5 interleaved runs, on a loaded host (load average 28.7 on 24 cores):

	get()	create, call, free
Struct, no hold count	10.2 ns	29.6 ns
Hold count restored	18.2 ns	48.7 ns

The gain is confirmed, so the hold count is dropped.

Choices made without asking

• Tuple field names _0, _1: matches Rust's .0, and a leading _ keeps 0 a valid identifier.
• Lending to a closure: a lent &T becomes a struct over the borrowed handle, and the struct ends with discard self after the call, so Swift never frees a handle Rust still owns. A lent &mut T traps with "a lent handle was replaced" if the closure assigned a new value over it, which Rust cannot express. The maintainer chose the trap over generating an assign through C, since no moq item needs it.
• Always import BasicContainers: a conditional import would make the module's shape depend on which types it exports.
• swift-collections from a just recipe that clones at a pinned rev and builds with swiftc, not Nix. macOS CI runs without Nix, so both platforms use the same path.
• The Option<&T> bound is 2, refused at the item's span through a Swift-only check the driver runs, rather than in collect for every language, where an optional borrow needs no overloads. moq's Source::follow takes two.
• Labelled optional borrows: each present one is labelled by its name, as a defaulted argument is, so overloads leaving out different ones differ in name. Without labels, follow(rel) and follow(instance) were both follow(_:).
• Only Equatable under 6.4: objects export no hash, and the Swift 6.4 snapshot does not yet conform a noncopyable type to either Custom*StringConvertible, despite SE-0499.
• @frozen tuple structs, so that another module can move each element out.

Gaps

moq-dev/rust2#696, merged in, now keeps clashing top-level names apart with a trailing _ instead of refusing them, so each optional-borrow overload claims its own full name (clamped(low:)), and a tuple struct such as TupleStringCounter takes its name through the same claim. The one refusal still without a span is two members of a type with one full Swift name (distinct), which #696 made an internal error.

Every tuple struct's name is claimed before any is written, so a nested tuple's field names its inner tuple's final name even when the claim renames it. Main's later Swift api cases (#706, #707) moved onto noncopyable handles: sections takes a UniqueArray<TupleStringJson>, and a Verbosity whose level is set is a var.

The two refusals this PR adds, more optional borrowed objects than the bound and an error holding an object Swift cannot copy, are spanned (ffi/fixtures/reject's among and wrapped).

Hold count on the binding benchmark

Main's quest asked for the hold count's measurement on the binding benchmark. Its Swift program is ported to noncopyable handles, and 5 rounds interleaved with C (load average 7 to 12) measure the u64 getter, a struct's handle, at 10 ns in Swift and 10 in C, against 18 in Swift in the committed table. track.is_closed() stays at 26 against C's 18: TrackProducer is a class, since moq throws it as an error, and keeps its hold count. bench/ffi/README.md records this beside its per-handle baseline rather than re-measuring every language.

Apple platform

The nightly's macOS job passed on 046347d3 (run 42965366736, Apple Clang job): on Apple's toolchain, the generated module and swift-collections compile at the macOS 13 deployment target, so Optional<~Copyable> and UniqueArray need nothing newer. The api fixture's Swift, with its compile-fail cases, and moq's session ran on the macos-26-arm64 image. No runner has macOS 13, so the back-deploy is checked at compile time, not by running there.

The same run's Android API 24 job failed on main's own code (BigInteger.TWO, Java 9), which moq-dev/rust2#704, merged in, fixes.

Walkthrough

The Swift FFI generator now represents eligible Rust objects as noncopyable Swift structs and emits ownership-aware parameters, tuple wrappers, optional-argument overloads, and UniqueArray conversions. Runtime helpers and build recipes support these generated types. The examples, API fixtures, rejection fixtures, and compile-failure checks now cover the updated API and ownership rules.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 66705

The change moves most Swift handles to noncopyable structs, and the compiler now checks their move and borrow rules. The runtime check that a class-based object traps after being moved is no longer tested, so a regression there could go unnoticed. Adding one small runtime test would close the gap; it is not a blocker for merge.

Restore a runtime test for use after a class handle moves.

The reasons test moves Refusal values but does not check that their handles close. The compile-fail cases cover structs, not this class path.

Add a broken case that retains a Refusal, moves it through reasons, and then reads its description. Assert Refusal is closed in ffi/tests/fixtures.rs.
