~~I happened to be reviewing our uses of `thread::spawn()` and came to
the conclusion that we're spawning a thread unnecessarily for plugin
calls. We were basically doing this:~~
~~1. Spawn a background thread to send data to the plugin over stdin~~
~~2. Immediately do a blocking wait for the plugin's response~~
~~As far as I can tell, there's no point in spawning a thread for 1 (and
it may harm error handling) given that we're blocking right away for the
response.~~
**Update:** the logic is correct, as confirmed by @WindSoilder
[here](https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/855947301380947968/1072743414795350037).
I've added a comment explaining the thread usage.
# Description
Lint: `clippy::uninlined_format_args`
More readable in most situations.
(May be slightly confusing for modifier format strings
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fmt/index.html#formatting-parameters)
Alternative to #7865
# User-Facing Changes
None intended
# Tests + Formatting
(Ran `cargo +stable clippy --fix --workspace -- -A clippy::all -D
clippy::uninlined_format_args` to achieve this. Depends on Rust `1.67`)
This is an attempt to implement a new `Value::LazyRecord` variant for
performance reasons.
`LazyRecord` is like a regular `Record`, but it's possible to access
individual columns without evaluating other columns. I've implemented
`LazyRecord` for the special `$nu` variable; accessing `$nu` is
relatively slow because of all the information in `scope`, and [`$nu`
accounts for about 2/3 of Nu's startup time on
Linux](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/6677#issuecomment-1364618122).
### Benchmarks
I ran some benchmarks on my desktop (Linux, 12900K) and the results are
very pleasing.
Nu's time to start up and run a command (`cargo build --release;
hyperfine 'target/release/nu -c "echo \"Hello, world!\""' --shell=none
--warmup 10`) goes from **8.8ms to 3.2ms, about 2.8x faster**.
Tests are also much faster! Running `cargo nextest` (with our very slow
`proptest` tests disabled) goes from **7.2s to 4.4s (1.6x faster)**,
because most tests involve launching a new instance of Nu.
### Design (updated)
I've added a new `LazyRecord` trait and added a `Value` variant wrapping
those trait objects, much like `CustomValue`. `LazyRecord`
implementations must implement these 2 functions:
```rust
// All column names
fn column_names(&self) -> Vec<&'static str>;
// Get 1 specific column value
fn get_column_value(&self, column: &str) -> Result<Value, ShellError>;
```
### Serializability
`Value` variants must implement `Serializable` and `Deserializable`, which poses some problems because I want to use unserializable things like `EngineState` in `LazyRecord`s. To work around this, I basically lie to the type system:
1. Add `#[typetag::serde(tag = "type")]` to `LazyRecord` to make it serializable
2. Any unserializable fields in `LazyRecord` implementations get marked with `#[serde(skip)]`
3. At the point where a `LazyRecord` normally would get serialized and sent to a plugin, I instead collect it into a regular `Value::Record` (which can be serialized)
I have changed `assert!(a == b)` calls to `assert_eq!(a, b)`, which give
better error messages. Similarly for `assert!(a != b)` and
`assert_ne!(a, b)`. Basically all instances were comparing primitives
(string slices or integers), so there is no loss of generality from
special-case macros,
I have also fixed a number of typos in comments, variable names, and a
few user-facing messages.
This PR sets up [Criterion](https://github.com/bheisler/criterion.rs)
for benchmarking in the main `nu` crate, and adds some simple parser
benchmarks.
To run the benchmarks, just do `cargo bench` or `cargo bench -- <regex
matching benchmark names>` in the repo root:
```bash
〉cargo bench -- parse
...
Running benches/parser_benchmark.rs (target/release/deps/parser_benchmark-75d224bac82d5b0b)

```
Existing benchmarks from `nu-plugin` have been moved into the main `nu`
crate to keep all our benchmarks in one place.

Also enforce this by #[non_exhaustive] span such that going forward we
cannot, in debug builds (1), construct invalid spans.
The motivation for this stems from #6431 where I've seen crashes due to
invalid slice indexing.
My hope is this will mitigate such senarios

* removes unused features.
* Adds back multithreading feature to sysinfo.
* Adds back alloc for percent-encoding
* Adds updated lock file.
* Missed one sysinfo.
* `indexmap` just defaults
* Revert `miette``default-features=false`

* Remove unused dependencies
Inspired by #6938 ran `cargo +nightly udeps --features extra`.
Removes 2 crates and should remove an unnecessary intra-workspace
dependency which might open up further opportunities for compilation.
* Make windows-only dependency conditional in toml
`omnipath` is only used on Windows and already behind a `#[cfg]` block
in the code. Made the dependency in `Cargo.toml` conditional as well.
* Make `nu-pretty-hex` example a proper example
This allows making `rand` a dev-dependency in this crate.
* when spawned process during register plugin, pass env to child process
* tweak comment
* tweak comment
* remove trailing whitespace
Co-authored-by: Darren Schroeder <343840+fdncred@users.noreply.github.com>
* Skeleton implementation
Lots and lots of TODOs
* Bootstrap simple CustomValue plugin support test
* Create nu_plugin_custom_value
* Skeleton for nu_plugin_custom_values
* Return a custom value from plugin
* Encode CustomValues from plugin calls as PluginResponse::PluginData
* Add new PluginCall variant CollapseCustomValue
* Handle CollapseCustomValue plugin calls
* Add CallInput::Data variant to CallInfo inputs
* Handle CallInfo with CallInput::Data plugin calls
* Send CallInput::Data if Value is PluginCustomValue from plugin calls
* Remove unnecessary boxing of plugins CallInfo
* Add fields needed to collapse PluginCustomValue to it
* Document PluginCustomValue and its purpose
* Impl collapsing using plugin calls in PluginCustomValue::to_base_value
* Implement proper typetag based deserialization for CoolCustomValue
* Test demonstrating that passing back a custom value to plugin works
* Added a failing test for describing plugin CustomValues
* Support describe for PluginCustomValues
- Add name to PluginResponse::PluginData
- Also turn it into a struct for clarity
- Add name to PluginCustomValue
- Return name field from PluginCustomValue
* Demonstrate that plugins can create and handle multiple CustomValues
* Add bincode to nu-plugin dependencies
This is for demonstration purposes, any schemaless binary seralization
format will work. I picked bincode since it's the most popular for Rust
but there are defintely better options out there for this usecase
* serde_json::Value -> Vec<u8>
* Update capnp schema for new CallInfo.input field
* Move call_input capnp serialization and deserialization into new file
* Deserialize Value's span from Value itself instead of passing call.head
I am not sure if this was correct and I am breaking it or if it was a
bug, I don't fully understand how nu creates and uses Spans. What should
reuse spans and what should recreate new ones?
But yeah it felt weird that the Value's Span was being ignored since in
the json serializer just uses the Value's Span
* Add call_info value round trip test
* Add capnp CallInput::Data serialization and deserialization support
* Add CallInfo::CollapseCustomValue to capnp schema
* Add capnp PluginCall::CollapseCustomValue serialization and deserialization support
* Add PluginResponse::PluginData to capnp schema
* Add capnp PluginResponse::PluginData serialization and deserialization support
* Switch plugins::custom_values tests to capnp
Both json and capnp would work now! Sadly I can't choose both at the
same time :(
* Add missing JsonSerializer round trip tests
* Handle plugin returning PluginData as a response to CollapseCustomValue
* Refactor plugin calling into a reusable function
Many less levels of indentation now!
* Export PluginData from nu_plugin
So plugins can create their very own serve_plugin with whatever
CustomValue behavior they may desire
* Error if CustomValue cannot be handled by Plugin
