This allows us to write doctests depending on a ui object, but not on global
configs.
ui.load() is a class method so we can do wsgiui.load(). All ui() calls but
for doctests are replaced with ui.load(). Some of them could be changed to
not load configs later.
In Mercurial source tree, opening a file in "a"/"a+" mode like below
doesn't specify atomictemp=True for vfs, and this avoids file stat
ambiguity check by atomictempfile.
- writing changes out in revlog layer uses "a+" mode
- truncation in repair.strip() uses "a" mode
- truncation in transaction._playback() uses "a" mode
If steps below occurs at "the same time in sec", all of mtime, ctime
and size are same between (1) and (3).
1. append data to revlog-style file (and close transaction)
2. discard appended data by truncation (strip or rollback)
3. append same size but different data to revlog-style file again
Therefore, cache validation doesn't work after (3) as expected.
This patch adds file object wrapper class checkambigatclosing to check
(and get rid of) ambiguity at closing. It is used by vfs in subsequent
patch.
This is a part of ExactCacheValidationPlan.

BTW, checkambigatclosing is tested in test-filecache.py, even though
it doesn't use filecache itself, because filecache assumes that file
stat ambiguity never occurs (and there is no another test-*.py related
to filecache).
'0' and 'None' as outputs tripped me up. Make the distinction between values
set externally and values computed by calling the decorated function clearer.
Preserve the invariant that if P is a filecached property on X then
P in X.__dict__ => P in X._filecache.
Previously, it was possible for a filecached property to become out of sync
with the filesystem if it was set before getting it first, since the initial
filecacheentry was created in __get__.
Old behaviour:
repo.prop = x
repo.invalidate() # prop has no entry in _filecache, it's not removed
# from __dict__
repo.prop # returns x like before without checking with the
# filesystem
New:
repo.prop = x # an empty entry is created in _filecache
repo.invalidate() # prop is removed from __dict__
repo.prop # recreates prop
We need to make sure that if X is in the filecache then it's also in the
filecache owner's __dict__, otherwise it will go out of sync:
repo.X # first access to X, records stat info in
# filecache and updates __dict__
repo._filecache.clear() # removes X from _filecache but it's still in __dict__
repo.invalidate() # iterates over _filecache and removes entries
# from __dict__, but X isn't in _filecache, so
# it's kept in __dict__
repo.X # X is fetched from __dict__, bypassing the filecache
The usual contract is that close() makes your writes permanent, so
atomictempfile's use of close() to *discard* writes (and rename() to
keep them) is rather unexpected. Thus, change it so close() makes
things permanent and add a new discard() method to throw them away.
discard() is only used internally, in __del__(), to ensure that writes
are discarded when an atomictempfile object goes out of scope.
I audited mercurial.*, hgext.*, and ~80 third-party extensions, and
found no one using the existing semantics of close() to discard
writes, so this should be safe.
The idea is being able to associate a file with a property, and watch
that file stat info for modifications when we decide it's important for it to
be up-to-date. Once it changes, we recreate the object.
On filesystems that can't uniquely identify a file, we always recreate.
As a consequence, localrepo.invalidate() will become much less expensive in the
case where nothing changed on-disk.
