Instead of lengthy blurbs, switch to single-line, machine-readable
standardized (https://spdx.dev) license identifiers. The Linux kernel
switched long ago, so there is strong precedent.
Three cases are handled: AGPL-only, Apache-only, and dual licensed.
For the latter case, I chose (AGPL-3.0-or-later and Apache-2.0),
reasoning that our changes are extensive enough to apply our license.
The changes we applied mechanically with a script, except to
licenses/README.md.
Closes#9937
Commit aab6b0ee27 introduced the
controversial new IMR format, which relied on a very template-heavy
infrastructure to generate serialization and deserialization code via
template meta-programming. The promise was that this new format, beyond
solving the problems the previous open-coded representation had (working
on linearized buffers), will speed up migrating other components to this
IMR format, as the IMR infrastructure reduces code bloat, makes the code
more readable via declarative type descriptions as well as safer.
However, the results were almost the opposite. The template
meta-programming used by the IMR infrastructure proved very hard to
understand. Developers don't want to read or modify it. Maintainers
don't want to see it being used anywhere else. In short, nobody wants to
touch it.
This commit does a conceptual revert of
aab6b0ee27. A verbatim revert is not
possible because related code evolved a lot since the merge. Also, going
back to the previous code would mean we regress as we'd revert the move
to fragmented buffers. So this revert is only conceptual, it changes the
underlying infrastructure back to the previous open-coded one, but keeps
the fragmented buffers, as well as the interface of the related
components (to the extent possible).
Fixes: #5578
`collection_type_impl::serialize_mutation_form`
became `collection_mutation(_view)_description::serialize`.
Previously callers had to cast their data_type down to collection_type
to use serialize_mutation_form. Now it's done inside `serialize`.
In the future `serialize` will be generalized to handle UDTs.
`collection_type_impl::deserialize_mutation_form`
became a free standing function `deserialize_collection_mutation`
with similiar benefits. Actually, noone needs to call this function
manually because of the next paragraph.
A common pattern consisting of linearizing data inside a `collection_mutation_view`
followed by calling `deserialize_mutation_form` has been abstracted out
as a `with_deserialized` method inside collection_mutation_view.
serialize_mutation_form_only_live was removed,
because it hadn't been used anywhere.
This patch changes the implementation of atomic_cell and
atomic_cell_or_collection to use the data::cell implementation which is
based on the new in-memory representation infrastructure.
As a prepratation for the switch to the new cell representation this
patch changes the type returned by atomic_cell_view::value() to one that
requires explicit linearisation of the cell value. Even though the value
is still implicitly linearised (and only when managed by the LSA) the
new interface is the same as the target one so that no more changes to
its users will be needed.
The switch to the new in-memory representation will require a larger
parts of the logic be aware of the type of the values they are dealing
with. In most cases it is not a significant burden for the users.
Replace the atomic_cell_or_collection::feed_hash() member function
with the specialization of appending_hash, and use that instead.
