A C publisher can author frames on a raw track (moq_publish_track) already encoded per draft-ietf-moq-loc, or as CMAF fragments, but the catalog write path always declared the legacy container, so there was no way to tell subscribers what the track actually carries.

moq_video_config and moq_audio_config now carry a moq_container: a moq_container_kind discriminant plus the CMAF init segment. The kind covers every container hang knows (LEGACY, CMAF, LOC, UNKNOWN) and crosses the ABI as uint32_t, so an unrecognized value returns InvalidCode instead of constructing an invalid Rust enum. A zeroed struct means legacy, so a recompiled caller that ignores the field behaves exactly as before. CMAF needs its init segment, which is why the kind travels in a struct rather than as a bare parameter.

UNKNOWN is read-only. A catalog written by a future build round-trips into it so a consumer can skip the rendition, but publishing one is InvalidCode: none of the original JSON survives the trip through C, so there is nothing to write back.

Because both structs are shared with the consume path, moq_consume_video_config and moq_consume_audio_config now report the container too, borrowing the CMAF init segment from the catalog snapshot exactly like description already does. moq_container_kind goes in the cbindgen ENUMS list, since no signature reaches it and a C caller would otherwise have to hardcode the integers.

C callers must recompile: both config structs grew a field.

Out of scope: moq_publish_media_* still writes the legacy container; switching the moq-mux encoder outputs to LOC is a separate change.

The red CI was not this PR

just check failed in moq-video, which nothing here touches. I420::from_rgb and from_yuyv are #[cfg(target_os = "linux")], but their only callers live in capture/v4l2.rs, which the capture feature gates, and every workspace consumer of moq-video leaves that feature off. So on Linux the two functions compiled with no callers and -D warnings turned the resulting dead_code lint into a hard error, which fails any branch whose diff selects libmoq. The second commit matches the cfg to the callers, test included.

Tests

  • a LOC frame published on a raw track with a LOC declaration and consumed through moq_consume_video: the catalog reports LOC, and payload, timestamp and keyframe survive the round trip
  • a CMAF audio rendition: the init segment comes back byte for byte through moq_consume_audio_config
  • the rejected kinds: UNKNOWN, an out-of-range value, and CMAF with no init segment

(written by Opus 5)

…ditions

Adds moq_publish_video_config_with_container and its audio counterpart:
the same catalog write as the existing functions plus an explicit
moq_media_container (LEGACY or LOC), taken as uint32_t and validated to
InvalidCode on unknown values. The existing functions delegate with
LEGACY, so no C consumer changes. LOC pairs with tracks created via
moq_publish_track whose frames the caller already encodes per
draft-ietf-moq-loc.

The end-to-end test publishes a raw LOC frame with the LOC declaration
and consumes it through moq_consume_video, asserting payload, timestamp
and keyframe survive the round trip.

CONTEXTO

Discarded paths:
- Passing the repr(C) enum by value across the ABI - a garbage integer
  from C constructs an invalid Rust enum (UB); u32 validated to
  InvalidCode instead.
- Extending moq_video_config with a container field - changes the
  struct size and breaks the ABI; the additive function breaks nobody.
- Exposing LOC through moq_publish_media_* - that path always writes
  the legacy container (moq-mux pins it on its outputs); declaring
  another container there would lie to subscribers. Left for the
  moq-mux flip.

Key decisions:
- The test consumes through moq_consume_video besides publishing - if
  libmoq's consume side pinned Legacy the way moq-mux does, the test
  exposes it immediately instead of surfacing in production.

Validity: as of 2026-08-12; re-check against current state before reuse.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The C ABI now exposes legacy, CMAF, LOC, and unknown media-container values. Video and audio configurations carry container metadata, and publishing validates container codes and required CMAF initialization data. Consumption exposes the configured container. Tests cover LOC and CMAF round trips and invalid configurations. The LOC crate is added as a development dependency. Video conversion code and its test now require Linux with the capture feature.

Mark moq_media_container as non-exhaustive and export it in the C header.

moq_media_container is public, so external exhaustive Rust matches can break when a variant is added. Add #[non_exhaustive].

The enum is not in rs/libmoq/build.rs's cbindgen export list. Add it to ENUMS so C callers receive the named container constants.

Half taken: the enum (now moq_container_kind) is in build.rs's ENUMS list, so the header carries the named constants instead of making C hardcode the integers.

Skipping #[non_exhaustive]. rs/CLAUDE.md makes it opt-in rather than the default, and none of the sibling ABI enums (moq_video_codec, moq_audio_format, moq_video_encoder_kind) carry it. They all cross the ABI as uint32_t and are matched by comparing discriminants, so there is no external Rust match for a new variant to break.

@kixelated, the C-header part is addressed. rs/libmoq/build.rs now exports moq_container_kind through ENUMS.

I cannot withdraw the #[non_exhaustive] part. rs/libmoq/src/lib.rs publicly re-exports api::*, so Rust dependents can name and exhaustively match moq_container_kind. A later variant would break that downstream code.

The current repository guideline also requires #[non_exhaustive] for public enums that may gain variants. The sibling ABI enums have the same omission, but that does not remove the risk for this enum.

Learning: When reviewing added variants on public Rust enums (especially when the diff hunk is narrow), inspect the full enum declaration (including attributes) before flagging a semver break. If the enum is marked with #[non_exhaustive], adding new variants is non-breaking; only flag semver breaks for exhaustively-typed public enums where downstream pattern matches could be impacted. Example: moq_native::tls::Error in rs/moq-native/src/tls.rs is already #[non_exhaustive], so adding Error::ClientVerifier should not be treated as a semver break.

Learning: In `rs/libmoq/build.rs`, the C header generation uses `cbindgen::Builder::new()` with an explicit `cbindgen::Config::default()`. This builder path does not load `rs/libmoq/cbindgen.toml`. Do not load that TOML configuration for this generation path because its `[struct] rename_fields = "ScreamingSnakeCase"` setting would rename fields throughout the published C API.

Done. Both moq_video_config and moq_audio_config now carry a moq_container (kind + CMAF init segment), and the _with_container entry points are gone. A zeroed struct is legacy, so a recompiled caller that ignores the field behaves as before.

Since the structs are shared with the consume path, this also means moq_consume_video_config / moq_consume_audio_config report the container, which they previously dropped on the floor.

Added, along with UNKNOWN, so the kind now covers everything hang::catalog::Container has.

CMAF is the reason the kind travels in a struct rather than as a bare uint32_t: it carries an init segment. moq_container::init / init_len is copied into the catalog on publish and borrowed back out of the snapshot on consume, exactly like description. An empty init is rejected at the publish call rather than at every subscriber.

UNKNOWN is read-only: a rendition written by a future build round-trips into it so a C consumer can skip it, but publishing one is InvalidCode since we keep none of the original JSON, so there is nothing to write back.

`I420::from_rgb` and `from_yuyv` were `#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]`, but their
only callers live in `capture/v4l2.rs`, which the `capture` feature gates. Every
workspace consumer of moq-video leaves that feature off, so on Linux the two
functions compiled with no callers and `-D warnings` turned the resulting
dead_code lint into a hard error. That is why `just check` fails on any branch
whose diff selects libmoq.

Match the cfg to the callers, test included.

Both config structs now carry a `moq_container` (a `moq_container_kind`
discriminant plus the CMAF init segment), instead of a parallel
`moq_publish_*_config_with_container` entry point per media type. A zeroed
struct still means legacy, so a recompiled C caller that ignores the field
behaves exactly as before.

The kind covers every container hang knows: legacy, cmaf, loc, and unknown.
CMAF needs its init segment, which is why the kind travels in a struct rather
than as a bare `uint32_t` parameter. Unknown is read-only: a catalog written by
a future build round-trips into it so a consumer can skip the rendition, but
publishing one is `InvalidCode` because none of the original JSON survives the
trip through C.

The struct is shared with the consume path, so `moq_consume_video_config` and
`moq_consume_audio_config` now report the container too, borrowing the init
segment from the catalog snapshot like `description` already does. Add
`moq_container_kind` to the cbindgen export list, since no signature reaches it.

C callers must recompile: both structs grew a field.

cbindgen 0.29 non_exhaustive repr(C) struct generated C header layout

💡 Result:

When cbindgen generates C headers for a struct marked with both #[repr(C)] and #[non_exhaustive], it treats the struct as a standard C struct with the guaranteed layout provided by #[repr(C)] [1][2][3]. The #[non_exhaustive] attribute is a Rust-level mechanism intended to prevent downstream crates from exhaustively matching on an enum or constructing a struct in a way that breaks if new fields are added [4][5]. Because this attribute has no inherent representation in the C language, cbindgen does not—and cannot—enforce the "non-exhaustive" semantics in the generated C header [1][4]. Key implications include: 1. Layout Guarantee: Because the struct is marked #[repr(C)], cbindgen preserves the specified field order, padding, and alignment required for C ABI compatibility [1][6][3]. 2. Opaque vs. Visible: cbindgen will emit the struct definition in the C header, including its fields. The C compiler sees a standard struct. If you wish to hide the internal details of the struct from C callers, you would typically use an opaque pointer (e.g., passing a pointer to the struct without defining its contents in the public header) rather than relying on #[non_exhaustive] [1][2]. 3. No C-level Enforcement: C code consuming the header will not be restricted from constructing or inspecting the struct, even if you add fields to the Rust struct in the future [4][5]. Maintaining ABI compatibility when adding fields to a C struct is an external responsibility handled by the developer (e.g., by ensuring the struct is only ever manipulated via functions provided by your library, or by using reserved padding fields). In summary, the presence of #[non_exhaustive] does not alter the generated C layout; the struct will be laid out according to C ABI rules as dictated by #[repr(C)] [1][3].

Add #[non_exhaustive] to moq_container.

moq_container is a public, defaultable struct with public fields. Add the attribute so future Rust fields do not break downstream struct construction. This Rust-only attribute does not change the #[repr(C)] layout or generated C definition.

I can merge it now but IMO we need getters/setters for structs to avoid semver issues. Since this is a breaking change unfortunately.
