New ResolvedExpression enum ensures that the evaluation engine doesn't have
to know the symbol resolution details. In this commit, I've moved Filter
and NotIn resolution to resolve_visibility(). Implicit All/VisibleHeads
resolution will be migrated later.
It's tempting to combine resolve_symbols() and resolve_visibility() to get
rid of panic!()s, but the resolution might have to be two passes to first
resolve&collect explicit commit ids, and then substitute "all()" with
"(:visible_heads())|commit_id|..". It's also possible to apply some tree
transformation after symbol resolution.
This makes it clear what should be resolved at resolve_symbols(). Symbol
is a bit special while parsing function arguments, but it's no different
than the other unresolved references at expression level.
I'm thinking of transforming RevsetExpression to a enum dedicated for
the evaluation stage. To help the migration, I want to remove the use of
the RevsetExpression builder API from the evaluation engine.
Fewer virtual dispatch is also better.
This changes the version number reported by `jj version` from "0.7.0"
to something like
"0.7.0-24a512683bc921699575b6a953624b05c068d544a". The hash is added
if running in a jj repo or a git repo.
The `heads()` revset function with one argument is the counterpart to
`roots()`. Without arguments, it returns the visible heads in the
repo, i.e. `heads(all())`. The two use cases are quite different, and
I think it would be good to clarify that the no-arg form returns the
visible heads, so let's split that out to a new `visible_heads()`
function.
This basically removes hidden 'all() &' from union/negation of filters. To
achieve that, I have two options: 1. add separate evaluation path (like the
one this commit introduced), or 2. wrap "all()" revset to override predicate
as Box::new(|_| true) function. I took the former since it's less ad-hoc.
We can add an explicit RevsetExpression node to branch between evaluate()
and evaluate_predicate(), but I don't think it would simplify the
implementation at this point. We might need such node if we want to resolve
"all()" at resolve_symbols(). It might be even better to extract a subset of
RevsetExpression enum, which only contains evaluatable nodes.
The cost of 'all() &' isn't significant for most filters. '~merges()' is
the exception. For jj repo,
revsets/:v0.3.0 & (author(martinvonz) | committer(martinvonz))
--------------------------------------------------------------
base 1.06 11.2±0.04m
new 1.00 10.5±0.05m
revsets/~merges()
-----------------
base 1.69 750.0±8.47µ
new 1.00 444.1±3.50µ
I think this is more readable, and apparently it produces slightly better code
maybe because the compiler can determine that there are no unwanted markers.
Since filter is slow in general, its input set should be minimized. This has
measurable impact on artificial query like '~(v0.4.0..) & author(_)'. If it
were evaluated as a difference of sets, all commits would have to be loaded.
This document is meant to be a record of how we think about Git
submodules (and not a _current_ implementation of submodules). We will
fill it out incrementally as we get a clearer idea of what we want
submodules to look like.
As an initial version, I started with (IMO) the least controversial
points:
- We want to support most workflows Git submodules users are accustomed
to.
- A roadmap that allows us to incrementally roll out Git submodule
functionality (instead of having to boil the ocean).
Since resolve_symbols() now removes Present(_) node, it make sense to
handle symbol resolution error there. That's why I added a "pre" callback
to try_transform_expression().
Perhaps, "operation" scope (#1283) can be implemented in a similar way,
(but somehow need to resolve operation id and call repo.reload_at(op).)
This makes it clear that RevsetExpression::Present node is noop at the
evaluation stage.
RevsetEvaluationError::StoreError is unused right now, but I'm not sure if
it should be removed. It makes some sense that evaluate() can propagate
StoreError as it has access to the store.
I'm going to split RevsetError into symbol resolution and evaluation errors,
and evaluate_revset() is the only place where CLI crate explicitly specifies
RevsetError type.
