Derek Xu fc95268a36 [ResidentFrontendServer] Cache the compiler options that were last used
to compile every entrypoint

This is necessary to ensure that the options used when performing
compilation during expression evaluation or hot reload match the options
that were used to compile the running program before it was started.

TEST=test case added to pkg/dartdev/test/commands/run_test.dart, CI

CoreLibraryReviewExempt: This CL does not include any core library API
changes, only VM Service implementation changes in
sdk/lib/vmservice/running_isolates.dart.

The frontend_server package is used by both the flutter command line tool and the frontend_server_client package (used by webdev and package:test).

API Stability

Changes to the command line API or behavior should be tested against the following test suites (in addition to normal HHH testing):

Otherwise these changes will need to be carefully coordinated with the flutter tooling and frontend_server_client teams.

This API stability does not cover any of the source code APIs.

Stable subset

  • The frontend_server kernel compilation and expression evaluation for kernel should be considered "stable".
  • The frontend_server JavaScript compilation is semi-stable, but clients should anticipate coordinated breaking changes in the future.
  • The frontend_server JavaScript expression evaluation is experimental and is expected to change significantly from Dec 2020 through the end of 2021.
  • Specific flags may be added for experimentation and should not be considered stable.
