Feature Gaps

The completed C tutorials can mostly be expressed with the Python API. The migration found these native C tutorial features that are not currently exposed as Python bindings:

  • Native event pattern find/count/cancel helpers. Python exposes direct event scheduling, cancellation, rescheduling, event waiting, and reprioritization, but not wildcard pattern matching over action/subject/object triples.

  • User-level native logger calls such as cmb_logger_user(). Python exposes logger flag controls, but not formatted user log records with native timestamp/process/function prefixes.

  • Native FILE * text report printers are intentionally not exposed. Use the structured cimba.reporting helpers instead:

    report = cimba.reporting.history_report(history, lags=20)
print(cimba.reporting.format_report(report))

    Install cimba[plot] to use helpers such as cimba.reporting.plot_report().

  • Internal C containers such as cmi_hashheap and cmi_slist. Python code should normally use dictionaries, lists, sets, cimba.ObjectQueue, or cimba.PriorityQueue.

  • High-level CUDA/thread-stream integration for the work-in-progress GPU tutorial. The low-level native thread hook capsule API exists, but there is no Python tutorial API for CUDA device assignment.
