It can be used in more places if it's not tied to the engine struct.
This also changes the signature so that more information is returned.
This can be used for logging or other useful things. Of note, this
happens to be the same struct as already exists. It's used for
convenience since it happens to match up! Of course they're related.
This gives us a simple mapping between a new resource and an old one. We
compare by kind and name because those two values are our uniqueness
constraint in the resource graphs.
This improves the autogrouping algorithm to support hierarchical
autogrouping. It's not guaranteed to work if we replace the reachability
grouper with something more efficient, but it's good enough for now.
Previously the resource could only set values in a per-hostname
namespace, but for single, user-managed values, we'd like to be able to
control things entirely. Now this resource can do that.
This fixes two small races we had while simultaneously reading from and
writing to the vertex timestamp, and simultaneously writing to the
vertex isStateOK (dirty) flag.
They were actually "safe" races, in that it doesn't matter if the
read/write race got the old or new value, or that the double write
happened. The time sequencing was correct (I believe) in both cases, but
this triggers the race detector now that we have tests for it.
We've previously not received a value from within an autogrouped
resource. It turns out this would be quite useful, and so this patch
implements the additional plumbing and testing so that this works!
Testing that an autogrouped resource can still send values has not been
done at this time.
This adds a new series of "get*" functions which can read values from
the associated "value" resources. The key name of the function must
match the name value of the resource for things to work.
Type unification isn't yet perfect in these scenarios, so you should use
casually and with caution.
This expands the Local API with the first (and in theory, only ever) API
for reading and writing simple values. This is a coordination point for
resources and functions to share things directly.
This is a new API that is similar in spirit and plumbing to the World
API, but it intended for all local machine operations and will likely
only ever have one implementation.
It's valuable to check your runtime values and to shut down the entire
engine in case something doesn't match. This patch adds some magic
plumbing to support a "panic" mechanism.
A new "panic" statement gets transparently converted into a panic
function and panic resource. The former errors if the input is not
empty. The latter must be present to consume the value, but doesn't
actually do anything.
This is a strange resource which is probably most useful for passing
values between scopes. It supports a variant resource field, and should
only be used as a last resort and if you know exactly what you're doing.
If we have rare, but special *interface{} values in resource structs, we
should be able to handle them normally. It's really not recommended that
you use these unless you know exactly why they are useful.
