392: Allow creation of tracked methods r=nikomatsakis a=Skepfyr Fixes #319. This allows users to annotate impl blocks with `#[salsa::tracked]` and then create tracked methods by marking individual functions with `#[salsa::tracked]`. Note this requires your code that looks like: ```rust #[salsa::tracked(jar = Jar)] impl MyInput { #[salsa::tracked] fn tracked_fn(self, db: &dyn Db) -> u32 { self.field(db) * 2 } } ``` You get an error if you annotate a method with `#[salsa::tracked]` but forget to mark the impl block. It got messier than I was hoping but I think it turned out alright, this would look really pretty if we had [inherent associated types](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/8995), but we don't. Annoyingly even if that landed I think we'd still need the attribute on the impl block just so that it was possible to create the associated struct somewhere as you can't put types inside an impl block (and they aren't accessible if placed inside a function).

salsa
A generic framework for on-demand, incrementalized computation.
Obligatory warning
Very much a WORK IN PROGRESS at this point. Ready for experimental use but expect frequent breaking changes.
Credits
This system is heavily inspired by adapton, glimmer, and rustc's query system. So credit goes to Eduard-Mihai Burtescu, Matthew Hammer, Yehuda Katz, and Michael Woerister.
Key idea
The key idea of salsa
is that you define your program as a set of
queries. Every query is used like function K -> V
that maps from
some key of type K
to a value of type V
. Queries come in two basic
varieties:
- Inputs: the base inputs to your system. You can change these whenever you like.
- Functions: pure functions (no side effects) that transform your inputs into other values. The results of queries are memoized to avoid recomputing them a lot. When you make changes to the inputs, we'll figure out (fairly intelligently) when we can re-use these memoized values and when we have to recompute them.
