Highlights (Sep 06, 2024 to Sep 19, 2024):
New container classes: The new
pw::IntrusiveMap
andpw::IntrusiveMultiMap
classes can be used for associative dictionaries, sorted lists, and more.Protobuf Editions: Initial support for Protobuf Editions was added for GN-based and CMake-based projects.

Modules#
pw_allocator#
New features:
The new
PW_ALLOCATOR_STRICT_VALIDATION

option allows setting the poisoning rate more easily from the build rather than in code via template parameters. See Module configuration. Commit: Add module config.
Bug fixes:
A bug was fixed where
pw_allocator
always split the first block even if there was not enough room for the first block to be split into two, which could cause heap corruption and crashes. Commit: Check for room to split the first block. Bug: b/366175024.
pw_assert#
Changes:

and a new doubly-linked intrusive list was added aspw::containers::future::IntrusiveList<T>
. An alias,pw::IntrusiveList<T>
, was added to maintain compatibility with existing code and will be removed in the future. The original implementation can still be temporarily enabled by settingPW_CONTAINERS_USE_LEGACY_INTRUSIVE_LIST
. Commit: Add doubly linked list. Bug: b/362348318.

PW_STATUS_CFG_CHECK_IF_USED
now defaults to true
in Bazel projects,
meaning that pw::Status
objects returned from function calls must be used or
else a compilation error is raised. See Unused result warnings.
pw_symbolizer#
pw_system#
The pw_system
console now lets you control host log and device log levels
separately via the new --host-log-level
and --device-log-level
arguments. The new echo()
, reboot()
, and crash()
methods of
pw_system.device.Device
make it easier to access these common
operations. Crash snapshots are now saved to /tmp

by default. Crash detection logs are now printed across multiple lines to make
them easier to spot.

Highlights (Jul 12, 2024 to Jul 25, 2024):
Extensive Bazel support in the Pigweed extension for VS Code: See pw_ide for the full story.
Bazel module support: Upstream Pigweed is now usable as a Bazel module dependency.
Trapping backend for pw_assert: pw_assert_trap is a new backend for pw_assert that calls
__builtin_trap()
when an assert is triggered.Crash handling in async pw_system: Crash snapshots can be downloaded from
pw_console
by callingdevice.get_crash_snapshots()
in the REPL.
Build systems#
Bazel#
Toolchain registration moved from WORKSPACE
to MODULE.bazel
, making
it possible for downstream projects to use upstream Pigweed’s toolchains
directly. Pigweed is now usable as a Bazel module dependency. Pigweed now
provides an example .bazelrc
at //pw_build/pigweed.bazelrc
that
downstream users can copy into their own projects.
Move toolchain registration to MODULE.bazel (issue #258836641)
Enable bzlmod (issue #258836641)
Modernize pip deps style (issue #258836641)

have been updated.
Modules#
pw_assert_trap#
pw_assert_trap is a new backend for pw_assert
that calls __builtin_trap()
when an assert is triggered.
pw_async2#
The new pw::async2::CoroOrElseTask
class lets you run a coroutine
in a task and invokes a handler function on error. The new
pw::async2::Task::IsRegistered()
method checks if a task is
currently registered with a dispatcher. The new
pw::async2::Coro::Empty()
method creates an empty, invalid
coroutine object. The new pw::async2::Task::Deregister()
method
unlinks a task from a dispatcher and any associated waker values.

pw_build#
pw_py_binary
is a new wrapper for py_binary
that provides some
defaults, such as marking all Python binaries as incompatible with MCUs.
pw_channel#
The new pw::channel::StreamChannel
adapter makes it easier for
a channel to interact with an underlying reader and writer stream.
pw_chrono_freertos#
pw_chrono_stl#
pw_console#
Typing out RPCs to invoke from the web console REPL should now autocomplete
as expected. The web console log viewer now has a default config, defined
at //pw_console/py/pw_console/html/defaultconfig.json
. A new boolean
config option, recolor_log_lines_to_match_level
, has been added to
allow users to control whether log messages should be restyled to match
their severity level.
pw_cpu_exception_cortex_m#
The new PW_CPU_EXCEPTION_CORTEX_M_CRASH_ANALYSIS_INCLUDE_PC_LR
option lets you control whether PC and LR register values are included
in the AnalyzeCpuStateAndCrash()
analysis.
pw_crypto#
Don’t build micro-ecc (issue #261603269)
pw_env_setup#
pw_grpc#
pw_ide#
General updates: pw_ide
now detects Bazel projects based on the presence
of MODULE.bazel
files. The pw_ide docs have been revamped.
Shared VS Code settings can now be stored in .vscode/settings.shared.json
.
The extension no longer attempts to infer the working directory if a project
root isn’t explicitly provided; instead it prompts users to manually specify
the project root. The VS Code extension now has better support for Fish
terminals.
VS Code extension updates related to code intelligence in Bazel-based projects:
The new Pigweed: Select Code Analysis Target
command controls which Bazel
target in your project to use for code intelligence. The new Pigweed: Refresh
Compile Commands
command lets you manually refresh code intelligence data.
There’s also a Pigweed: Refresh Compile Commands and Select Code Analysis
Target
that combines these two steps. In the VS Code status bar there’s a new
icon to indicate whether clangd
code intelligence is on or off. Code
intelligence data compilation output is now streamed so that you can monitor
the progress of the tool in real-time. The easiest way to access these logs is
by running the new Pigweed: Open Output Panel
command. The extension now
supports a .clangd.shared
file that can be used to control project-wide
clangd
settings.
VS Code extension updates related to other Bazel tools: The extension now
bundles Bazelisk and Buildifier. These bundled versions get updated when the
extension itself updates. The extension recommends users to use these bundled
versions by default. You can use the new Activate Bazelisk in Terminal
command to manually specify which Bazelisk version to use.
pw_kvs#
pw_libcxx#
pw_libcxx
now has support for the new
operator.
pw_log#
pw_multibuf#
pw_presubmit#
pw_presubmit.inclusive_language.check_file

check_path
argument which controls whether to check the path for

Build systems#
Bazel#
Pigweed is now using version 8.0.0-pre.20240618.2 of Bazel, the first version
to include platform-based flags. Some backend collection targets are now being
provided as dictionaries to enable downstream projects to use the pattern
described in Provide default backend collections as dicts. The

whether a target is only compatible with platforms that have a full-featured
OS.

Highlights (Apr 19, 2024 to May 1, 2024):
Thread kickoff via pw::Function: Revamped the Thread API to use pw::Function. The original Thread API was created before pw::Function was stable; this change modernizes and increases usability of the Thread API.
Thread creation SEED: Creating threads in Pigweed is difficult due to our strict adherence to portability. We’re considering creating an additional API that is more usable but less portable than the current approach.
Transfer: Adaptive windowing got a Java implementation, and improvements to adaptive windowing in C++.

the full GoogleTest on larger targets like desktop. However, this created a
problem since pw_unit_test
only implements a subset of the GoogleTest API.
With the new approach, we require tests that are intended to compile on devices
to directly include pw_unit_test/framework.h
. In cases where GoogleTest is
available, that header will redirect to GoogleTest.

Modules#
pw_allocator#
The docs now have an auto-generated size report.
pw::allocator::SplitFreeListAllocator
has a new blocks()
method for getting the
range of blocks being tracked. The class was also refactored to
use the existing Block
API. The Block
API itself was refactored to
encode offsets and flags into fields.
pw_arduino_build#
pw_assert#
pw_bluetooth#
More Emboss definitions were added.
pw_build#
Pigweed used to inject a selection of recommended configs into every pw_*
C/C++ target in the GN build. These were previously only possible to remove
with the remove_configs
argument. These configs are now bundled with
toolchains instead, and if you don’t use a Pigweed-style toolchain you’ll
no longer need to find ways to strip the default configs from Pigweed build rules.
More importantly, this changes makes Pigweed’s recommended configs behave
identically to other toolchain configs, and they’re now more clearly part of
GN toolchain definitions. This change is transparent to most projects, but some
Pigweed customers have been asking for this for a while.
The empty_cc_library Bazel utility was added.
pw_bytes#
A new _b
literal was added to make it easier to create bytes for tests
and constants.
