feat(c++): support customize c++ field meta (#3088)
## Why?
Currently, Fory's C++ xlang serialization treats all struct fields
uniformly:
1. **Null checks are always performed** - Even for fields that are never
null, Fory writes a null/ref flag (1 byte per field)
2. **Reference tracking is always applied** (when enabled globally) -
Even for fields that won't be shared/cyclic
3. **Field names use meta string encoding** - In schema evolution mode,
field names consume space
These defaults ensure correctness but introduce unnecessary overhead
when the developer has specific knowledge about their data model.
## What does this PR do?
Implements `fory::field<>` template for compile-time field metadata,
enabling performance and space optimization:
### Core API
```cpp
namespace fory {
struct nullable {}; // Mark shared_ptr/unique_ptr as nullable
struct not_null {}; // Explicit non-null (for future pointer types)
struct ref {}; // Enable reference tracking (shared_ptr only)
template <typename T, int16_t Id, typename... Options>
class field { /* ... */ };
}
```
### Type Rules
| Type | Default Nullable | Default Ref | Allowed Options |
|------|-----------------|-------------|-----------------|
| Primitives, `std::string` | **false** | false | **None** |
| `std::optional<T>` | **true** (inherent) | false | **None** |
| `std::shared_ptr<T>` | **false** | false | `nullable`, `not_null`,
`ref` |
| `std::unique_ptr<T>` | **false** | false | `nullable` only |
### Usage Example
```cpp
struct Document {
fory::field<std::string, 0> title;
fory::field<int32_t, 1> version;
fory::field<std::optional<std::string>, 2> description;
fory::field<std::shared_ptr<User>, 3> author; //
non-nullable
fory::field<std::shared_ptr<User>, 4, fory::nullable> reviewer; //
nullable
fory::field<std::shared_ptr<Node>, 5, fory::ref> parent; //
ref tracking
fory::field<std::shared_ptr<Node>, 6, fory::nullable, fory::ref> p; //
both
};
FORY_STRUCT(Document, title, version, description, author, reviewer,
parent, p);
```
### Compile-Time Validation
```cpp
// ✅ Valid
fory::field<std::string, 0> name;
fory::field<std::shared_ptr<Node>, 1, fory::ref> parent;
// ❌ Compile errors (static_assert)
fory::field<int32_t, 0, fory::nullable> age; // nullable on
primitive
fory::field<std::unique_ptr<T>, 1, fory::ref> ptr; // ref on unique_ptr
```
### Files Changed
**New Files:**
- `cpp/fory/meta/field.h` - Core field template and type traits
- `cpp/fory/meta/field_test.cc` - 22 unit tests
- `cpp/fory/serialization/field_serializer_test.cc` - 20 serialization
tests
**Modified Files:**
- `cpp/fory/meta/BUILD`, `CMakeLists.txt` - Build targets
- `cpp/fory/serialization/BUILD`, `CMakeLists.txt` - Build targets
- `cpp/fory/serialization/struct_serializer.h` - Field metadata
integration
- `cpp/fory/serialization/type_resolver.h` - Field type unwrapping
## Related issues
Closes #3003
Related: #2906, #1017
## Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
- [x] Does this PR introduce any public API change?
- New `fory::field<>` template for field metadata
- New tag types: `fory::nullable`, `fory::not_null`, `fory::ref`
- [ ] Does this PR introduce any binary protocol compatibility change?
- No, the wire format is unchanged
## Benchmark
For a struct with 10 fields using `fory::field<>` with non-nullable
defaults:
- **Space savings**: ~20 bytes per object (eliminates null flags)
- **CPU savings**: Fewer ref tracking operations when not needed
- **Zero runtime overhead**: All metadata is compile-time only

+
+This page explains how to configure field-level metadata for serialization.
+
+## Overview
+
+Apache Fory™ provides two ways to specify field-level metadata at compile time:
+
+1. **`fory::field<>` template** - Inline metadata in struct definition
+2. **`FORY_FIELD_TAGS` macro** - Non-invasive metadata added separately
+
+These enable:
+
+- **Tag IDs**: Assign compact numeric IDs for schema evolution
+- **Nullability**: Mark pointer fields as nullable
+- **Reference Tracking**: Enable reference tracking for shared pointers
+
+## The fory::field Template
+
+```cpp
+template <typename T, int16_t Id, typename... Options>
+class field;
+```
+
+### Template Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Description |
+| --------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
+| `T` | The underlying field type |
+| `Id` | Field tag ID (int16_t) for compact serialization |
+| `Options` | Optional tags: `fory::nullable`, `fory::ref` |
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```cpp
+#include "fory/serialization/fory.h"
+
+using namespace fory::serialization;
+
+struct Person {
+ fory::field<std::string, 0> name;
+ fory::field<int32_t, 1> age;
+ fory::field<std::optional<std::string>, 2> nickname;
+};
+FORY_STRUCT(Person, name, age, nickname);
+```
+
+The `fory::field<>` wrapper is transparent - you can use it like the
underlying type:
+
+```cpp
+Person person;
+person.name = "Alice"; // Direct assignment
+person.age = 30;
+std::string n = person.name; // Implicit conversion
+int a = person.age.get(); // Explicit get()
+```
+
+## Tag Types
+
+### fory::nullable
+
+Marks a smart pointer field as nullable (can be `nullptr`):
+
+```cpp
+struct Node {
+ fory::field<std::string, 0> name;
+ fory::field<std::shared_ptr<Node>, 1, fory::nullable> next; // Can be
nullptr
+};
+FORY_STRUCT(Node, name, next);
+```
+
+**Valid for:** `std::shared_ptr<T>`, `std::unique_ptr<T>`
+
+**Note:** For nullable primitives or strings, use `std::optional<T>` instead:
+
+```cpp
+// Correct: use std::optional for nullable primitives
+fory::field<std::optional<int32_t>, 0> optional_value;
+
+// Wrong: nullable is not allowed for primitives
+// fory::field<int32_t, 0, fory::nullable> value; // Compile error!
+```
+
+### fory::not_null
+
+Explicitly marks a pointer field as non-nullable. This is the default for
smart pointers, but can be used for documentation:
+
+```cpp
+fory::field<std::shared_ptr<Data>, 0, fory::not_null> data; // Must not be
nullptr
+```
+
+**Valid for:** `std::shared_ptr<T>`, `std::unique_ptr<T>`
+
+### fory::ref
+
+Enables reference tracking for shared pointer fields. When multiple fields
reference the same object, it will be serialized once and shared:
+
+```cpp
+struct Graph {
+ fory::field<std::string, 0> name;
+ fory::field<std::shared_ptr<Graph>, 1, fory::ref> left; // Ref tracked
+ fory::field<std::shared_ptr<Graph>, 2, fory::ref> right; // Ref tracked
+};
+FORY_STRUCT(Graph, name, left, right);
+```
+
+**Valid for:** `std::shared_ptr<T>` only (requires shared ownership)
+
+### Combining Tags
+
+Multiple tags can be combined for shared pointers:
+
+```cpp
+// Nullable + ref tracking
+fory::field<std::shared_ptr<Node>, 0, fory::nullable, fory::ref> link;
+```
+
+## Type Rules
+
+| Type | Allowed Options | Nullability
|
+| -------------------- | ----------------- |
---------------------------------- |
+| Primitives, strings | None | Use `std::optional<T>` if
nullable |
+| `std::optional<T>` | None | Inherently nullable
|
+| `std::shared_ptr<T>` | `nullable`, `ref` | Non-null by default
|
+| `std::unique_ptr<T>` | `nullable` | Non-null by default
|
+
+## Complete Example
+
+```cpp
+#include "fory/serialization/fory.h"
+
+using namespace fory::serialization;
+
+// Define a struct with various field configurations
+struct Document {
+ // Required fields (non-nullable)
+ fory::field<std::string, 0> title;
+ fory::field<int32_t, 1> version;
+
+ // Optional primitive using std::optional
+ fory::field<std::optional<std::string>, 2> description;
+
+ // Nullable pointer
+ fory::field<std::unique_ptr<std::string>, 3, fory::nullable> metadata;
+
+ // Reference-tracked shared pointer
+ fory::field<std::shared_ptr<Document>, 4, fory::ref> parent;
+
+ // Nullable + reference-tracked
+ fory::field<std::shared_ptr<Document>, 5, fory::nullable, fory::ref> related;
+};
+FORY_STRUCT(Document, title, version, description, metadata, parent, related);
+
+int main() {
+ auto fory = Fory::builder().xlang(true).build();
+ fory.register_struct<Document>(100);
+
+ Document doc;
+ doc.title = "My Document";
+ doc.version = 1;
+ doc.description = "A sample document";
+ doc.metadata = nullptr; // Allowed because nullable
+ doc.parent = std::make_shared<Document>();
+ doc.parent->title = "Parent Doc";
+ doc.related = nullptr; // Allowed because nullable
+
+ auto bytes = fory.serialize(doc).value();
+ auto decoded = fory.deserialize<Document>(bytes).value();
+}
+```
+
+## Compile-Time Validation
+
+Invalid configurations are caught at compile time:
+
+```cpp
+// Error: nullable and not_null are mutually exclusive
+fory::field<std::shared_ptr<int>, 0, fory::nullable, fory::not_null> bad1;
+
+// Error: nullable only valid for smart pointers
+fory::field<int32_t, 0, fory::nullable> bad2;
+
+// Error: ref only valid for shared_ptr
+fory::field<std::unique_ptr<int>, 0, fory::ref> bad3;
+
+// Error: options not allowed for std::optional (inherently nullable)
+fory::field<std::optional<int>, 0, fory::nullable> bad4;
+```
+
+## Backwards Compatibility
+
+Existing structs without `fory::field<>` wrappers continue to work:
+
+```cpp
+// Old style - still works
+struct LegacyPerson {
+ std::string name;
+ int32_t age;
+};
+FORY_STRUCT(LegacyPerson, name, age);
+
+// New style with field metadata
+struct ModernPerson {
+ fory::field<std::string, 0> name;
+ fory::field<int32_t, 1> age;
+};
+FORY_STRUCT(ModernPerson, name, age);
+```
+
+## FORY_FIELD_TAGS Macro
+
+The `FORY_FIELD_TAGS` macro provides a non-invasive way to add field metadata
without modifying struct definitions. This is useful for:
+
+- **Third-party types**: Add metadata to types you don't own
+- **Clean structs**: Keep struct definitions as pure C++
+- **Isolated dependencies**: Confine Fory headers to serialization config files
+
+### Usage
+
+```cpp
+// user_types.h - NO fory headers needed!
+struct Document {
+ std::string title;
+ int32_t version;
+ std::optional<std::string> description;
+ std::shared_ptr<User> author;
+ std::shared_ptr<User> reviewer;
+ std::shared_ptr<Document> parent;
+ std::unique_ptr<Data> data;
+};
+
+// serialization_config.cpp - fory config isolated here
+#include "fory/serialization/fory.h"
+#include "user_types.h"
+
+FORY_STRUCT(Document, title, version, description, author, reviewer, parent,
data)
+
+FORY_FIELD_TAGS(Document,
+ (title, 0), // string: non-nullable
+ (version, 1), // int: non-nullable
+ (description, 2), // optional: inherently nullable
+ (author, 3), // shared_ptr: non-nullable (default)
+ (reviewer, 4, nullable), // shared_ptr: nullable
+ (parent, 5, ref), // shared_ptr: non-nullable, with ref
tracking
+ (data, 6, nullable) // unique_ptr: nullable
+)
+```
+
+### FORY_FIELD_TAGS Options
+
+| Field Type | Valid Combinations
|
+| -------------------- |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
+| Primitives, strings | `(field, id)` only
|
+| `std::optional<T>` | `(field, id)` only
|
+| `std::shared_ptr<T>` | `(field, id)`, `(field, id, nullable)`, `(field, id,
ref)`, `(field, id, nullable, ref)` |
+| `std::unique_ptr<T>` | `(field, id)`, `(field, id, nullable)`
|
+
+### API Comparison
+
+| Aspect | `fory::field<>` Wrapper | `FORY_FIELD_TAGS` Macro
|
+| ----------------------- | ------------------------ | -----------------------
|
+| **Struct definition** | Modified (wrapped types) | Unchanged (pure C++)
|
+| **IDE support** | Template noise | Excellent (clean types)
|
+| **Third-party classes** | Not supported | Supported
|
+| **Header dependencies** | Required everywhere | Isolated to config
|
+| **Migration effort** | High (change all fields) | Low (add one macro)
