Summary

This PR adds createDoubleBuffer to @solid-primitives/signal-builders:

  • Zero-GC High-Frequency Stream Updates: Designed for 60-120fps streaming sources (WebGL vertex updates, WebGPU compute buffers, WebAudio FFT analysers, Canvas 2D render loops, and sensor telemetry).
  • Pointer Swapping Architecture: Maintains two pre-allocated buffers (front and back). The update function writes into the back buffer and swaps pointers atomically while triggering reactive subscribers via an internal non-allocating version signal.
  • Full Array & TypedArray Support: Works seamlessly with Float32Array, Uint8Array, Int32Array, and standard JS arrays.

Changes

  • packages/signal-builders/src/buffer.ts: createDoubleBuffer implementation.
  • packages/signal-builders/src/index.ts: Re-export createDoubleBuffer and TypedOrPlainArray.
  • packages/signal-builders/test/buffer.test.ts: Vitest test suite.
  • .changeset/signal-builders-double-buffer.md: Minor changeset.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a double-buffer utility for efficiently updating numeric and BigInt typed arrays.
    • Supports reactive reads, non-reactive peeks, and in-place updates without additional buffer allocations.
    • Exported the new functionality for package consumers.
  • Documentation

    • Documented the new double-buffer API in the release notes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds createDoubleBuffer for reactive, zero-allocation swapping of numeric and bigint TypedArray buffers. The package exports the API and includes tests for updates, reactivity, peeking, initialization, and allocation stability.

Changes

Double-buffer API

Layer / File(s) Summary
Buffer API and validation
packages/signal-builders/src/buffer.ts, packages/signal-builders/src/index.ts, packages/signal-builders/test/buffer.test.ts, .changeset/signal-builders-double-buffer.md
Defines SupportedBuffer and createDoubleBuffer. The helper exposes reactive reads, non-reactive peeks, and updates that swap front and back buffers. The package re-exports the API. Tests cover initialization, reactivity, peeking, and allocation stability. A minor changeset documents the API.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a8a75

The new buffer API currently excludes standard JavaScript arrays despite promising support, and each update allocates a callback, undermining the zero-allocation guarantee. These bounded API and performance issues should be fixed before merge.

Test that peek does not create a dependency.

This test verifies the returned value only. Call peek() inside a createEffect, update the buffer, and assert that the effect runs once. This protects the untracked-read contract.

Support standard JavaScript arrays throughout the public contract. The PR objective promises standard JavaScript array support, but the exported constraint excludes them and the tests do not cover them.

  • packages/signal-builders/src/buffer.ts#L3-L17: include mutable standard arrays in SupportedBuffer.
  • packages/signal-builders/test/buffer.test.ts#L5-L12: add a number[] test for initialization, update, and swapping.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the per-update callback allocation.

Line 40 creates a new updater function for every update call. This conflicts with the zero-allocation update path claimed by this API.

Proposed fix
   const [version, setVersion] = createSignal(0, { equals: false });
+  let nextVersion = 0;
 
   const read: Accessor<T> = () => {
@@
-    setVersion(v => v + 1);
+    setVersion(++nextVersion);
