prov_graph/memo.rs
1//! A read memo with the lifetime of one operation — the cheap half of not
2//! reading the same file twice.
3//!
4//! prov's passes are composed rather than fused: [`check`] runs a walk, then an
5//! orphan sweep, then a fixity pass, then five more, and each of them starts
6//! from a path and calls [`load`] on it. That composition is what makes the
7//! passes independently testable and independently correct, and it is worth
8//! keeping — but taken literally it means `check` reads and parses the same
9//! document once per pass that cares about it. The walk loads every reachable
10//! document to build the census; `fixity_findings` then loads every reachable
11//! document again to hash its body. Two full reads and two full parses, for a
12//! question the first read already answered.
13//!
14//! So remember the answer for as long as the operation lasts, and no longer.
15//!
16//! ## Directories, for the same reason and at a worse ratio
17//!
18//! The memo holds *listings* beside documents, because the same argument runs
19//! harder there. Resolution asks whether a link's target exists and — when it
20//! does not — whether some entry beside it differs only in case, which
21//! [`exact_name`] answers by reading the target's parent directory. That is one
22//! directory read **per link**, where the document memo saves one read per
23//! *pass*: a flat workspace of N documents holding N links into one directory
24//! read that directory N times, each read enumerating N entries, and `check`
25//! went quadratic on exactly that. Listings are also indexed rather than
26//! stored raw (`DirNames`), so the answer is a hash lookup and not a scan of
27//! everything the directory holds.
28//!
29//! [`exact_name`]: crate::graph::Graph
30//!
31//! ## Why the scope, and why it is explicit
32//!
33//! A memo with no end is a cache, and a cache has to be invalidated. A memo
34//! bounded by an *operation* barely has to be: nothing outside prov can write
35//! to the workspace between two of `check`'s sub-passes in any sense prov could
36//! have detected anyway, and everything inside prov that writes goes through
37//! `prov`'s `ChangeSet`, which forgets what it touched
38//! ([`Workspace::commit`]). There is no staleness window left that a stat could
39//! have closed and this cannot.
40//!
41//! The scope is explicit — a caller opens one with
42//! [`Graph::read_scope`](crate::graph::Graph::read_scope) and holds the guard — because a memo that switched
43//! itself on would be a cache again, and because the caller is the only one who
44//! knows where its operation begins. Scopes nest: an operation that opens one
45//! and then calls another that opens its own gets a single memo lasting the
46//! outer one, which is exactly the composition case (`prov`'s `check` opens a
47//! scope and then calls `walk`, which is welcome to open its own).
48//!
49//! ## What is not memoized
50//!
51//! Failures. A read that errored is not remembered, so a missing file is
52//! re-checked rather than pinned to its first answer — the cost is one syscall
53//! on a path prov already knows is trouble, and the alternative is a memo that
54//! can report a file absent after it appeared.

277/// ## Why it holds the memo rather than borrowing it
278///
279/// A guard that borrowed its graph would be unusable from the operations that
280/// need it most. A mutating verb reads (a census, a subtree walk), *then*
281/// stages and commits — and `commit` takes `&mut self`, which an outstanding
282/// `&self` borrow forbids. Every verb in `prov`'s `mutate` is that shape, so a
283/// borrowing guard could only be held across the read half and dropped before
284/// the writes, which in most of them is before the expensive pass has even
285/// started. Sharing the memo instead is what lets one scope cover a whole verb.
286///
287/// The lifetime tie was also a (weak) argument that a scope cannot be stashed
288/// and left open — "a memo with no end is a cache". That argument is now
289/// discipline rather than a type: hold the guard in a local, for one operation.
290/// What has not changed is that nothing outlives it — dropping the outermost
291/// guard clears the memo, whether or not the graph is still around.
