Previously incremental compiler was extracting source code
dependencies by inspecting `CompilationUnit.depends` set. This set is
constructed by Scala compiler and it contains all symbols that given
compilation unit refers or even saw (in case of implicit search).
There are a few problems with this approach:
* The contract for `CompilationUnit.depend` is not clearly defined
in Scala compiler and there are no tests around it. Read: it's
not an official, maintained API.
* Improvements to incremental compiler require more context
information about given dependency. For example, we want to
distinguish between dependency on a class when you just select
members from it or inherit from it. The other example is that
we might want to know dependencies of a given class instead of
the whole compilation unit to make the invalidation logic more
precise.
That led to the idea of pushing dependency extracting logic to
incremental compiler side so it can evolve indepedently from Scala
compiler releases and can be refined as needed. We extract
dependencies of a compilation unit by walking a type-checked tree
and gathering symbols attached to them.
Specifically, the tree walk is implemented as a separate phase that
runs after pickler and extracts symbols from following tree nodes:
* `Import` so we can track dependencies on unused imports
* `Select` which is used for selecting all terms
* `Ident` used for referring to local terms, package-local terms
and top-level packages
* `TypeTree` which is used for referring to all types
Note that we do not extract just a single symbol assigned to `TypeTree`
node because it might represent a complex type that mentions
several symbols. We collect all those symbols by traversing the type
with CollectTypeTraverser. The implementation of the traverser is inspired
by `CollectTypeCollector` from Scala 2.10. The
`source-dependencies/typeref-only` test covers a scenario where the
dependency is introduced through a TypeRef only.
Fix the problem with unstable names synthesized for existential
types (declared with underscore syntax) by renaming type variables
to a scheme that is guaranteed to be stable no matter where given
the existential type appears.
The sheme we use are De Bruijn-like indices that capture both position
of type variable declarion within single existential type and nesting
level of nested existential type. This way we properly support nested
existential types by avoiding name clashes.
In general, we can perform renamings like that because type variables
declared in existential types are scoped to those types so the renaming
operation is local.
There's a specs2 unit test covering instability of existential types.
The test is included in compiler-interface project and the build
definition has been modified to enable building and executing tests
in compiler-interface project. Some dependencies has been modified:
* compiler-interface project depends on api project for testing
(test makes us of SameAPI)
* dependency on junit has been introduced because it's needed
for `@RunWith` annotation which declares that specs2 unit
test should be ran with JUnitRunner
SameAPI has been modified to expose a method that allows us to
compare two definitions.
This commit also adds `ScalaCompilerForUnitTesting` class that allows
to compile a piece of Scala code and inspect information recorded
callbacks defined in `AnalysisCallback` interface. That class uses
existing ConsoleLogger for logging. I considered doing the same for
ConsoleReporter. There's LoggingReporter defined which would fit our
usecase but it's defined in compile subproject that compiler-interface
doesn't depend on so we roll our own.
ScalaCompilerForUnit testing uses TestCallback from compiler-interface
subproject for recording information passed to callbacks. In order
to be able to access TestCallback from compiler-interface
subproject I had to tweak dependencies between interface and
compiler-interface so test classes from the former are visible in the
latter. I also modified the TestCallback itself to accumulate apis in
a HashMap instead of a buffer of tuples for easier lookup.
An integration test has been added which tests scenario
mentioned in #823.
This commit fixes#823.
As pointed out by @harrah in #705, both beginSource and endSource are
not used in sbt internally for anything meaningful.
We've discussed an option of deprecating those methods but since they
are not doing anything meaningful Mark prefers to have compile-time
error in case somebody implements or calls those methods. I agree with
that hence removal.
Incremental compiler didn't have any explicit logic to handle
cancelled compilation so it would go into inconsistent state.
Specifically, what would happen is that it would treat cancelled
compilation as a compilation that finished normally and try to
produce a new Analysis object out of partial information collected
in AnalysisCallback. The most obvious outcome would be that the
new Analysis would contain latest hashes for source files. The
next time incremental compiler was asked to recompile the same files
that it didn't recompile due to cancelled compilation it would think
they were already successfully compiled and would do nothing.
We fix that problem by following the same logic that handles compilation
errors, cleans up partial results (produced class files) and makes sure
that no Analysis is created out of broken state.
We do that by introducing a new exception `CompileCancelled`
and throwing it at the same spot as an exception signalizing compilation
errors is being thrown. We also modify `IncrementalCompile` to
catch that exception and gracefully return as there was no compilation
invoked.
NOTE: In case there were compilation errors reported _before_
compilation cancellations was requested we'll still report them
using an old mechanism so partial errors are not lost in case
of cancelled compilation.
Specifically, when the Scala version for sbt is the same as that for the project being built,
the jars in UpdateReport should be the same as those in ScalaProvider. This is because the
loader will come from the ScalaProvider, which uses jars in the boot directory instead of the
cache. The first part of the fix for #661 checks that loaded classes come from the classpath
and so they need to line up.
Introduce a way to configure incremental compiler itself instead
of underlying Java/Scala compiler.
Specific list of changes in this commit:
* Add a method to `xsbti.compile.Setup` that returns incremental
compiler options as a `java.util.Map<String, String>`. We considered
statis interface instead of a `Map` but based on mailing
list feedback we decided that it's not the best way to go because
static interface is hard to evolve it by adding new options.
* Since passing `java.util.Map<String, String>` not very convenient
we convert it immediately to `sbt.inc.IncOptions`
* Add options argument to various methods/classes that implement
incremental compilation so in the end options reach
`sbt.inc.IncOptions` object
* Add `incOptions` task that allows users to configure incremental
compiler options in their build files. Default implementation of
that tasks returns just `IncOptions.DEFAULT`
* Both system property `xsbt.inc.debug` and `IncOptions.relationsDebug`
trigger debugging of relations now. In the near future, we should
deprecate use of `xsbt.inc.debug`.
- Read macro modifier from method definition.
- Always recompile downstream files after a file containing macro defs is recompiled.
- Source is extended with a hasMacro attribute. Mark suggests that this might be better
tracked in Relations, but I'm not sure how to make that change.
the custom scalac Reporter now delegates to an instance of
an sbt interface called xsbti.Reporter
handling compilation logging is now mainly done on the sbt-side of the
compiler interface
the xsbti.Reporter interface provides access to richer information
about errors and warnings, including source file, line, and offset
xsbti.Reporter can be implemented by users to get access to
detailed information without needing to parse the logging output
the CompileFailed exception that is thrown when compilation fails now
includes an array of the problems, providing detailed
error and warning information that can, for example, be consumed
by doing a mapFailure on 'compile' and using 'Compile.allProblems'
support lazy arguments in data type generator
SafeLazy implementation that explicitly clears the reference to the thunk
in API representation, drop synthetic modifier and merge deferred into abstract
handle cyclic structures in API generation, display, comparison, persistence
gzip compile cache file
bump to 2.8.1.RC3, project definition cleanup
fix main method detection to check for the right name
properly view inherited definitions
exclude constructors of ancestors
updated compile tests for new minimal AnalysisCallback
moved discovery to discovery/ subproject and updated for new approach
fixed discovery to only find public methods when searching for annotated definitions
extracting inherited definitions unimplemented in api/, so some discovery tests fail
moved discovery classes from sbt.inc package to sbt.compile
Reduce AnalysisCallback interface:
remove discovery
simplify dependency notification methods
Use map of classpath entry to Analysis for locating
source API for external dependencies
Handle classpath changes by locating class
on classpath and either locating Analysis/Source
as above or comparing Stamp. This requires storing
the class name of a binary dependency now.
Make this process aware of full classpath, including
boot classpath
