Clang's internal build system for implicit modules uses lock files to
ensure that after a process writes a PCM it will read the same one back
in (without contention from other -cc1 commands). Since PCMs are read
from disk repeatedly while invalidating, building, and importing, the
lock is not released quickly. Furthermore, the LockFileManager is not
robust in every environment. Other -cc1 commands can stall until
timeout (after about eight minutes).
This commit changes the lock file from being necessary for correctness
to a (possibly dubious) performance hack. The remaining benefit is to
reduce duplicate work in competing -cc1 commands which depend on the
same module. Follow-up commits will change the internal build system to
continue after a timeout, and reduce the timeout. Perhaps we should
reconsider blocking at all.
This also fixes a use-after-free, when one part of a compilation
validates a PCM and starts using it, and another tries to swap out the
PCM for something new.
The PCMCache is a new type called MemoryBufferCache, which saves memory
buffers based on their filename. Its ownership is shared by the
CompilerInstance and ModuleManager.
- The ModuleManager stores PCMs there that it loads from disk, never
touching the disk if the cache is hot.
- When modules fail to validate, they're removed from the cache.
- When a CompilerInstance is spawned to build a new module, each
already-loaded PCM is assumed to be valid, and is frozen to avoid
the use-after-free.
- Any newly-built module is written directly to the cache to avoid the
round-trip to the filesystem, making lock files unnecessary for
correctness.
