proc_macro/bridge: cache static spans in proc_macro's client thread-local state This is the second part of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/86822, split off as requested in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/86822#pullrequestreview-1008655452. This patch removes the RPC calls required for the very common operations of `Span::call_site()`, `Span::def_site()` and `Span::mixed_site()`. Some notes: This part is one of the ones I don't love as a final solution from a design standpoint, because I don't like how the spans are serialized immediately at macro invocation. I think a more elegant solution might've been to reserve special IDs for `call_site`, `def_site`, and `mixed_site` at compile time (either starting at 1 or from `u32::MAX`) and making reading a Span handle automatically map these IDs to the relevant values, rather than doing extra serialization. This would also have an advantage for potential future work to allow `proc_macro` to operate more independently from the compiler (e.g. to reduce the necessity of `proc-macro2`), as methods like `Span::call_site()` could be made to function without access to the compiler backend. That was unfortunately tricky to do at the time, as this was the first part I wrote of the patches. After the later part (#98188, #98189), the other uses of `InternedStore` are removed meaning that a custom serialization strategy for `Span` is easier to implement. If we want to go that path, we'll still need the majority of the work to split the bridge object and introduce the `Context` trait for free methods, and it will be easier to do after `Span` is the only user of `InternedStore` (after #98189). |
