A hash for given name in a source file is computed by combining
hashes of all definitions with given name. When hashing a single
definition we take into account all information about it except nested
definitions. For example, if we have following definition
class Foo[T] {
def bar(x: Int): Int = ???
}
hash sum for `Foo` will include the fact that we have a class with
a single type parameter but it won't include hash sum of `bar` method.
Computed hash sums are location-sensitive. Each definition is hashed along
with its location so we properly detect cases when definition's signature
stays the same but it's moved around in the same compilation unit.
The location is defined as sequence of selections. Each selection consists
of a name and name type. The name type is either term name or type name.
Scala specification (9.2) guarantees that each publicly visible definition
is uniquely identified by a sequence of such selectors.
For example, if we have:
object Foo {
class Bar { def abc: Int }
}
then location of `abc` is Seq((TermName, Foo), (TypeName, Bar))
It's worth mentioning that we track name-hash pairs separately for
regular (non implicit) and implicit members. That's required for name
hashing algorithm because it does not apply its heuristic when implicit
members are being modified.
Another important characteristic is that we include all inherited members
when computing name hashes.
Here comes the detailed list of changes made in this commit:
* HashAPI has new parameter `includeDefinitions` that allows
shallow hashing of Structures (where we do not compute hashes
recursively)
* HashAPI exposes `finalizeHash` method that allow one to capture
current hash at any time. This is useful if you want to hash a list of
definitions and not just whole `SourceAPI`.
* NameHashing implements actual extraction of public definitions,
grouping them by simple name and computing hash sums for each group
using HashAPI
* `Source` class (defined in interface/other file) has been extended to
include `_internalOnly_nameHashes` field. This field stores
NameHashes data structure for given source file. The NameHashes
stores two separate collections of name-hash pairs for regular and
implicit members.
The prefix `_internalOnly_` is used to indicate that this is not an
official incremental compiler's or sbt's API and it's for use by
incremental compiler internals only. We had to use such a prefix
because the `datatype` code generator doesn't support emitting access
modifiers
* `AnalysisCallback` implementation has been modified to gather all
name hashes and store them in the Source object
* TestCaseGenerators has been modified to implement generation of
NameHashes
* The NameHashingSpecification contains a few unit tests that make sure
that the basic functionality works properly
