anodizer_core/parallel.rs
1//! Shared bounded-parallelism helper used by stages that run one subprocess
2//! per sub-config (makeself, nfpm, snapcraft, flatpak, upx, …).
3//!
4//! The stages share the same Step 1 / Step 2 / Step 3 shape:
5//!
6//! 1. **Step 1** (serial, `&mut ctx`): render templates, stage files,
7//! collect a `Vec<Job>` of fully-owned work units.
8//! 2. **Step 2** (parallel, bounded by `ctx.options.parallelism`): run one
9//! subprocess per job in `std::thread::scope`.
10//! 3. **Step 3** (serial, `&mut ctx`): register the returned artifacts.
11//!
12//! Before this helper every stage hand-rolled the Step 2 loop —
13//! `for chunk in jobs.chunks(n) { thread::scope(|s| …) }` with its own
14//! join-unwrap-or-panic handling. The pattern is now shared here so new
15//! parallelized stages just write `run_job`.
16//!
17//! Semantics match the previous hand-rolled loops exactly:
18//!
19//! - **Bounded concurrency**: at most `parallelism` workers run at once,
20//! enforced by chunking the job list and scoping threads per-chunk.
21//! - **Fail-fast within a chunk**: if any worker in a chunk fails, the whole
22//! chunk still runs to completion (threads are already spawned), but the
23//! caller receives the first error and processes no further chunks. The
24//! completed siblings' work is still accounted for: additional failures
25//! in the batch are logged, and a warn summarizes partial progress.
26//! - **Panic-safe**: a worker panic becomes an `anyhow::Error` annotated
27//! with `stage_name`, so a panicked thread doesn't leave the pool
28//! deadlocked or drop all other results on the floor.
29//! - **Order-preserving**: results are collected in job-submission order, so
30//! downstream artifact registration remains deterministic.

37/// Acquire a `Mutex` guard, recovering from poison rather than panicking.
38///
39/// A poisoned lock means a sibling worker thread panicked while holding
40/// the guard. For the data shapes this helper is used on (counters,
41/// `Vec` accumulators), the inner state has no invariant a panic could
42/// have broken — the worst case is one partial write missing. Panicking
43/// the current worker too would abandon its already-completed network
44/// call without updating the count, silently inflating the operator's
45/// `failed` bucket.

58/// Translate a `thread::JoinHandle::join` result's panic payload into

60/// payload shapes (`&'static str` / `String`) are downcast so the
61/// surfaced message is readable rather than the opaque `Any`
62/// placeholder.
63///
64/// Accepts `Result<T, Box<dyn Any + Send>>` rather than the handle
65/// itself so a single helper covers both [`std::thread::JoinHandle`]
66/// and [`std::thread::ScopedJoinHandle`] — both expose `.join()`
67/// returning the same `Result` shape.
68///
69/// Use when the worker returns `T` and the caller wants `Result<T>`
70/// so a panic doesn't propagate as a silently-lost result. For
71/// workers that already return `Result<T, anyhow::Error>`, prefer
72/// [`run_parallel_chunks`] which bakes this in.

86/// Run `run_job` across `jobs` with bounded parallelism. Returns the

88///
89/// `stage_name` is embedded in the panic error message so a crash in one
90/// stage is attributable at a glance (`"nfpm worker thread panicked"` vs
91/// `"snapcraft worker thread panicked"`).
92///
93/// `parallelism` is clamped to `>= 1` internally, so callers can pass
94/// `ctx.options.parallelism` without pre-clamping.
95///
96/// On failure the FIRST error is returned and no further chunks run, but
97/// the failed chunk's completed siblings are never silently discarded:
98/// every additional failure in the chunk is logged as a warning (only the
99/// first error propagates), and a warn summarizes the partial progress —
100/// how many jobs in the batch succeeded before the failure and how many
101/// later jobs were never started.
