Summary: Add the main `Index` structure and its constructor. The structure focus on the index logic itself. It does not have the checksum part yet. Some notes about choices made: - The use of mmap: mmap is good for random I/O, and has the benefit of sharing buffers between processes reading the same file. We may be able to do good user-space caching for the random I/O part. But it's harder to share the buffers between processes. - The "read_only" auto decision. Common "open" pattern requires the caller to pass whether they want to read or write. The index makes the decision for the caller for convenience (ex. running "hg log" on somebody else's repo). - The "load root entry from the end of the file" feature. It's just for convenience for users wanting to use the Index in a standalone way.

lib
Any native code (C/C++/Rust) that Mercurial (either core or extensions)
depends on should go here. Python code, or native code that depends on
Python code (e.g. #include <Python.h>
or use cpython
) is disallowed.
As we start to convert more of Mercurial into Rust, and write new paths entrirely in native code, we'll want to limit our dependency on Python, which is why this barrier exists.
See also hgext/extlib/README.md
, mercurial/cext/README.mb
.
How do I choose between lib
and extlib
(and cext
)?
If your code is native and doesn't depend on Python (awesome!), it goes here.
Otherwise, put it in hgext/extlib
(if it's only used by extensions) or
mercurial/cext
(if it's used by extensions or core).
