[clangd] Make AST-based signals available to runWithPreamble.

Summary

Changes for new AST signals for TUScheduler.

Many useful signals can be derived from a valid AST which is regularly updated by
the ASTWorker. runWithPreamble does not have access to the ParsedAST
but it can be provided access to some signals derived from a (possibly
stale) AST.

nit: I think you can just use OS.str() here and below instead of RelatedNS to avoid extra string copy.

Can you add anonymous namespaces as well?

Good point. Avoided capturing anonymous namespaces.

Thanks, this looks pretty solid!

I want to be pretty careful about APIs/naming/code organization here (even moreso than usual!) because TUScheduler is a big complex beast as it is, and it's easy to get lost.

In practice, this is always called together with getPossiblyStalePreamble() for runWithPreamble (2 callsites). The two feel fairly related, and they each lock the same mutex.

The other two callsites of getPossiblyStalePreamble() are measuring memory (which in principle should also get the ASTSignals, though in practice it's likely small enough not to matter), and building ASTs, which can ignore it.

I'd suggest combining them into the somewhat awkward signature

shared_ptr<const PreambleData> getPossiblyStalePreamble(shared_ptr<const ASTSignals> *PossiblyStaleASTSignals = nullptr)
421

why is this public?

837

This implementation doesn't belong in TUScheduler, which is all about managing lifecycles and threading, rather than inspecting ASTs.

Best suggestion I have is to create a separate header ASTSignals.h, which defines the ASTSignals struct and a static ASTSignals ASTSignals::derive(const ParsedAST&) function to extract them.

(It's pretty awkward to even directly depend on it, since this feels more of a "feature" like go-to-definition that's independent of to TUScheduler and injected by ClangdServer, rather than core things like ParsedAST that are layered below TUScheduler. But fundamentally we can't avoid this without somehow obfuscating the data structure we're storing).

847

why not?

849

as mentioned above, you may want to do this only if the per-symbol-count was incremented from 0 to 1.
You'd have to ignore namespaces for symbols with no symbolID, but that doesn't matter.

850

why not NSD->isAnonymous()?

(and generally prefer early continue rather than indenting the whole loop body)

851

rather than checking/printing the namespace every time it's encountered, collect a DenseMap<NamespaceDecl*, unsigned> and then run through them once at the end?

853

use printNamespaceScope() from AST.h, which correctly handles inline namespace, adds trailing "::" etc.

862

nit: to minimize the length of the locked section:

  • move the new signals into the shared_ptr first (here I think you can just allocate it with make_shared in the first place). This avoids locking the allocation + move constructor.
  • introduce a new scope for the locked section, and std::swap the shared_ptrs rather than moving. Together, this avoids locking the destructor of the old signals (it runs when the pointer you swapped it into goes out of scope, instead).

Neither the comment or the name really explain what this is or what's unusual about it.
I can't think of a great name, but the comment should mention:

  • the purpose (provide information that can only be extracted from the AST to actions that can't access an AST)
  • the limitations (may be absent, always stale)
  • example usage (information about what declarations are used in a file affects code-completion ranking)

ReferencedSymbols?

41

I have a hard time parsing this comment (what does it mean for a namespace to be present in the file?) Maybe:

/// Namespaces whose symbols are used in the file, and the number of such symbols.

Looking at the implementation, it looks like it's rather the number of symbol *occurrences*. I suspect distinct symbols as your comment here suggests would be better though. If one symbol from a namespace is used 100 times, that should boost that symbol a lot but not necessarily the namespace a lot.

(untangling ASTSignals from TUScheduler should make this clearer to test directly, though you may still want to keep a simple smoke test here)

Moved struct and calculation to a separate file ASTSignals.h/cpp

847

My mental model suggested these must be namespaces from outside the file which are relevant to this file.
I suppose we can take care of this while using this (in CC signals calculation) and let these represent all namespaces including the primary one.

On a second thought: If we do not explicitly exclude primary namespace, the results from primary namespace will be boosted much more than the results from index which might be acceptable too.

849

Ignored NS without a valid SymbolID.
Counted distinct number of Symbols used per namespace.

850

I guess isAnonymous would cover most cases. I thought of excluding named NS in an anonymous NS but those are super rare I suppose and including those is not harmful too.

this requires storing all the SymbolIDs again.

You could just have a counter instead. The trick is that you're already counting the number of times a symbol has been seen...

unsigned &SymbolCount = Signals.ReferencedSymbols[ID];
++SymbolCount;
if (SymbolCount == 1) { // first time seeing the symbol
  // increment counter for its namespace
}
