rust-hgpath: add `repr(transparent)` to `HgPath` It's been stabilized a long time ago, so let's not rely on an implementation detail now. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12433
Tue, 05 Apr 2022 10:55:28 +0200 rust-dirstatemap: correctly decrement the copies counter stable

rust-dirstatemap: correctly decrement the copies counter This was caught when writing unit tests for the `DirstateMap`. We were always setting `had_copy_source` to `false` since we erased the value just before. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12432
Tue, 05 Apr 2022 10:55:28 +0200 rust-dirstatemap: properly decrement counter for tracked descendants stable
Raphaël Gomès <rgomes@octobus.net> [Tue, 05 Apr 2022 10:55:28 +0200] rev 49002
rust-dirstatemap: properly decrement counter for tracked descendants I found this bug when writing unit tests after the fact for the `DirstateMap`. We never decremented the tracked descendants counter since we were always resetting the node data before reading it. This also drops the use of `state`, in favor of the new API to get that information. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12431
Tue, 05 Apr 2022 10:55:28 +0200 rust-dirstate: panic if the DirstateMap counters go below 0 stable
Raphaël Gomès <rgomes@octobus.net> [Tue, 05 Apr 2022 10:55:28 +0200] rev 49001
rust-dirstate: panic if the DirstateMap counters go below 0 When modifying the API I hit some... interesting errors (trying to allocate 178GB of RAM, for example) because I failed to keep the counters correctly updated. This counter underflow is likely to happen when code is changed around and can have up to eat-your-dirstate level of consequences, which is not nice. The very small runtime cost of checking these counters should really not be an issue and will help us uncover bugs when/if they do appear in the future.

Tue, 05 Apr 2022 10:55:28 +0200 rust: fix unsound `OwningDirstateMap` stable
Raphaël Gomès <rgomes@octobus.net> [Tue, 05 Apr 2022 10:55:28 +0200] rev 49000
rust: fix unsound `OwningDirstateMap` As per the previous patch, `OwningDirstateMap` is unsound. Self-referential structs are difficult to implement correctly in Rust since the compiler is free to move structs around as much as it wants to. They are also very rarely needed in practice, so the state-of-the-art on how they should be done within the Rust rules is still a bit new. The crate `ouroboros` is an attempt at providing a safe way (in the Rust sense) of declaring self-referential structs. It is getting a lot attention and was improved very quickly when soundness issues were found in the past: rather than relying on our own (limited) review circle, we might as well use the de-facto common crate to fix this problem. This will give us a much better chance of finding issues should any new ones be discovered as well as the benefit of fewer `unsafe` APIs of our own. I was starting to think about how I would present a safe API to the old struct but soon realized that the callback-based approach was already done in `ouroboros`, along with a lot more care towards refusing incorrect structs. In short: we don't return a mutable reference to the `DirstateMap` anymore, we expect users of its API to pass a `FnOnce` that takes the map as an argument. This allows our `OwningDirstateMap` to control the input and output lifetimes of the code that modifies it to prevent such issues. Changing to `ouroboros` meant changing every API with it, but it is relatively low churn in the end. It correctly identified the example buggy modification of `copy_map_insert` outlined in the previous patch as violating the borrow rules. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D12429
