- Move expression evaluation to ddc in preparation for google3
- Added server to ddc to handle update and compileExpression requests
- Added tests
- Added 'experimental-output-compiled-kernel' option to ddc to generate
full kernel files only for compiled libraries, and store with
'.full.dill' extension
- Added AssetFileSystem to communicate to the asset server in the
debugger
- Made expression_compiler_worker work with full kernel files,
so removed invalidation of current file to improve performance
- Made expression_compiler_worker reuse already loaded imports
to avoid reading them from source in the incremental compiler
- Updated tests to work with DDC (for simulating webdev)
- Disabled tests that work with bazel kernel worker for now
as it does not generate full dill files yet
- Addressed code review comments from the prototype version:
https://dart-review.googlesource.com/c/sdk/+/157005
Details:
Currently, in flutter tools, expression evaluation is supported via
expression compilation, which is done by the incremental compiler in
the frontend server. The same incremental compiler is used for initial
application compilation, incremental code compilation for hot reload,
and any number of expression compilation requests.
In google3, the apps are typically too large to be compiled as a whole
in memory by the frontend server. Build in google3 is currently done by
blaze, as a distributed build using a task dependency graph. Build tasks
output kernel outline files as an interface between components produced
by individual tasks.
We are proposing an implementation of the expression compilation in
google3 that is taking advantage of full kernel files produced by the
build (supporting build changes to follow). This change introduces a
small server based on dev_compiler, which can handle following requests:
- update: load full kernel for given modules (done on app start)
- compileExpression: compile expression in a given library and module
(done when paused on a breakpoint)
Expression compilation uses previously loaded kernel files for the
application component and its dependencies to compile an expression.
