[Merged by Bors] - Make the `SystemParam` derive macro more flexible #6694

JoJoJet · 2022-11-19T17:56:01Z

Objective

Currently, the SystemParam derive forces you to declare the lifetime parameters <'w, 's>, even if you don't use them.
If you don't follow this structure, the error message is quite nasty.

Example (before):

#[derive(SystemParam)]
pub struct EventWriter<'w, 's, E: Event> {
    events: ResMut<'w, Events<E>>,
    // The derive forces us to declare the `'s` lifetime even though we don't use it,
    // so we have to add this `PhantomData` to please rustc.
    #[system_param(ignore)]
    _marker: PhantomData<&'s ()>,
}

Solution

Allow the user to omit either lifetime.
Emit a descriptive error if any lifetimes used are invalid.

Example (after):

#[derive(SystemParam)]
pub struct EventWriter<'w, E: Event> {
    events: ResMut<'w, Events<E>>,
}

Changelog

The SystemParam derive is now more flexible, allowing you to omit unused lifetime parameters.

Migration Guide

The lifetime 's has been removed from EventWriter. Any code that explicitly specified the lifetimes for this type will need to be updated.

// Before
#[derive(SystemParam)]
struct MessageWriter<'w, 's> {
    events: EventWriter<'w, 's, Message>,
}

// After
#[derive(SystemParam)]
struct MessageWriter<'w> {
    events: EventWriter<'w, Message>,
}

My only concern is that the 'w and 's lifetimes are a bit arbitrary from a normal user's perspective. Is there a way to better document this?

@james7132 do you think this is an improvement?

This usage is called out in the docs, but IMO the best way of teaching this is to just let users do it wrong, then have the error tell them the right way of doing it.

Looks much better to me. Thanks!

I think the names are already mandatory, this PR improves the error message and explanation if you try something else

This is really nice, it will clean up a bunch of my SystemParams

This PR is really nice!
It is a breaking change because of the removal of the lifetime on EventWriter. Could you add a small migration guide?

JoJoJet · 2022-12-20T15:07:58Z

I've added a migration guide.

## How This Works For the Bevy 0.10 release blog post (and for the first time ever), I'm publicly opening the doors to other people writing blog post sections. Specifically, if you worked on a feature in a substantial way and are interested in presenting it, you can now ask to claim a section by leaving a comment in this PR. If you claim a section, submit a pull request to the `release-0.10.0` branch in this repo. For the next week, we will be filling in sections (the release target is Saturday March 4th). Please don't claim a section if you don't plan on completing it within that timeline. Also don't claim a section if you weren't an active participant in the design and implementation of the change (unless you are a Maintainer or SME). I will claim any unclaimed sections. Try to match the style of previous release blog posts as much as possible. 1. Show, don't tell. Don't bombard people with information. Avoid large walls of text _and_ large walls of code. Prefer the pattern "byte sized description of one thing" -> "example code/picture/video contextualizing that one thing" -> repeat. Take readers on a journey step by simple step. 2. Don't use up reader's "mental bandwidth" without good reason. We can't afford page-long descriptions of minor bug fixes. If it isn't a "headliner change", keep the description short and sweet. If a change is self describing, let it do that (ex: We now support this new mesh shape primitive ... this is what it looks like). If it is a "headliner change", still try to keep it reasonable. We always have a lot to cover. 3. In slight competition with point (2), don't omit interesting technical information when it is truly fun and engaging. A good chunk of our users are highly technical and enjoy learning how the sausage is made. Try to strike a balance between "terse and simple" and "nerdy details". 4. When relevant, briefly describe the problem being solved first, then describe the solution we chose. This contextualizes the change and gives the feature value and purpose. 5. When possible, provide visuals. They create interest / keep people hooked / break up the monotony. 6. Record images and videos at the default bevy resolution (1280x720) 7. Provide an accurate listing of authors that meaningfully contributed to the feature. Try to sort in order of "contribution scale". This is hard to define, but try to be fair. When in doubt, ask other contributors, SMEs, and/or maintainers. 8. Provide numbers and graphs where possible. If something is faster, use numbers to back it up. We don't (yet) have automated graph generation in blog post style, so send data / info to me (@cart) if you want a graph made. ## Headliners Headliners are our "big ticket high importance / high profile" changes. They are listed briefly at the beginning of the blog post, their entries are roughly sorted "to the top", and they are given priority when it comes to "space in the blog post". If you think we missed something (or didn't prioritize something appropriately), let us know. * ECS Schedule v3 (previously known as "stageless") * Partial Android Support * Depth and Normal Prepass * Environment Map Lighting * Cascaded Shadow Maps * Distance and Atmospheric Fog * Smooth Skeletal Animation Transitions * Enable Parallel Pipelined Rendering * Windows as Entities * Renderer Optimizations * ECS Optimizations ## Sections These are the sections we will cover in the blog post. If a section has been claimed, it will have `(claimed by X)` in the title. If it is unclaimed it will have `(unclaimed)` in the title. Let us know if we missed a section. We don't cover every feature, but we should cover pretty much everything that would be interesting to users. Note that what is interesting or challenging to implement is not necessarily something that is relevant to our blog post readers. And sometimes the reverse is true! If you believe a section should be split up or reorganized, just bring it up here and we can discuss it. ### ~~Schedule V3 (claimed by @alice-i-cecile)~~ * [Migrate engine to Schedule v3][7267] * [Add `bevy_ecs::schedule_v3` module][6587] * [Stageless: fix unapplied systems][7446] * [Stageless: move final apply outside of spawned executor][7445] * Sets * Base Sets * [Base Sets][7466] * Reporting * [Report sets][7756] * [beter cycle reporting][7463] * Run Conditions * [Add condition negation][7559] * [And/Or][7605] * [Add more common run conditions][7579] * States * [States derive macro][7535] * System Piping Flexibility * [Support piping exclusive systems][7023] * [Allow piping run conditions][7547] ### ~~Depth and Normal Prepass (claimed by @IceSentry)~~ * [Add depth and normal prepass][6284] * [Move prepass functions to prepass_utils][7354] ### ~~Distance and Atmospheric Fog (claimed by @coreh)~~ * [Add Distance and Atmospheric Fog support][6412] ### ~~Cascaded Shadow Maps (claimed by @cart)~~ * [Cascaded shadow maps.][7064] * [Better cascades config defaults + builder, tweak example configs][7456] ### ~~Environment Map Lighting (claimed by @cart)~~ * [EnvironmentMapLight, BRDF Improvements][7051] * [Webgl2 support][7737] ### ~~Tonemapping options (claimed by @cart)~~ * [Initial tonemapping options][7594] ### ~~Android support + unification (claimed by @mockersf)~~ * [IOS, Android... same thing][7493] ### ~~Windows as Entities (claimed by @Aceeri)~~ * [Windows as Entities][5589] * [break feedback loop when moving cursor][7298] * [Fix `Window` feedback loop between the OS and Bevy][7517] ### ~~Enable Parallel Pipelined Rendering (claimed by @james7132)~~ * [Pipelined Rendering][6503] * [Stageless: add a method to scope to always run a task on the scope thread][7415] * [Separate Extract from Sub App Schedule][7046] ### ~~Smooth Skeletal Animation Transitions (claimed by @james7132)~~ * [Smooth Transition between Animations][6922] ### ~~Spatial Audio (claimed by @harudagondi)~~ * [Spatial Audio][6028] ### ~~Shader Processor Features (claimed by @cart)~~ * [Shader defs can now have a value][5900] * [Shaders can now have #else ifdef chains][7431] * [Define shader defs in shader][7518] ### ~~Shader Flexibility Improvements (claimed by @cart)~~ * [add ambient lighting hook][5428] * [Refactor Globals and View structs into separate shaders][7512] ### ~~Renderer Optimizations (claimed by @james7132)~~ * [bevy_pbr: Avoid copying structs and using registers in shaders][7069] * [Flatten render commands][6885] * [Replace UUID based IDs with a atomic-counted ones][6988] * [improve compile time by type-erasing wgpu structs][5950] * [Shrink DrawFunctionId][6944] * [Shrink ComputedVisibility][6305] * [Reduce branching in TrackedRenderPass][7053] * [Make PipelineCache internally mutable.][7205] * [Improve `Color::hex` performance][6940] * [Support recording multiple CommandBuffers in RenderContext][7248] * [Parallelized transform propagation][4775] * [Introduce detailed_trace macro, use in TrackedRenderPass][7639] * [Optimize color computation in prepare_uinodes][7311] * [Directly extract joints into SkinnedMeshJoints][6833] * [Parallelize forward kinematics animation systems][6785] * [Move system_commands spans into apply_buffers][6900] * [Reduce the use of atomics in the render phase][7084] ### ~~ECS Optimizations (claimed by @james7132 )~~ * [Remove redundant table and sparse set component IDs from Archetype][4927] * [Immutable sparse sets for metadata storage][4928] * [Replace BlobVec's swap_scratch with a swap_nonoverlapping][4853] * [Use T::Storage::STORAGE_TYPE to optimize out unused branches][6800] * [Remove unnecessary branching from bundle insertion][6902] * [Split Component Ticks][6547] * [use bevy_utils::HashMap for better performance.

When in doubt, ask other contributors, SMEs, and/or maintainers. 8. Provide numbers and graphs where possible. If something is faster, use numbers to back it up. We don't (yet) have automated graph generation in blog post style, so send data / info to me (@cart) if you want a graph made. ## Headliners Headliners are our "big ticket high importance / high profile" changes. They are listed briefly at the beginning of the blog post, their entries are roughly sorted "to the top", and they are given priority when it comes to "space in the blog post". If you think we missed something (or didn't prioritize something appropriately), let us know. * ECS Schedule v3 (previously known as "stageless") * Partial Android Support * Depth and Normal Prepass * Environment Map Lighting * Cascaded Shadow Maps * Distance and Atmospheric Fog * Smooth Skeletal Animation Transitions * Enable Parallel Pipelined Rendering * Windows as Entities * Renderer Optimizations * ECS Optimizations ## Sections These are the sections we will cover in the blog post. If a section has been claimed, it will have `(claimed by X)` in the title. If it is unclaimed it will have `(unclaimed)` in the title. Let us know if we missed a section. We don't cover every feature, but we should cover pretty much everything that would be interesting to users. Note that what is interesting or challenging to implement is not necessarily something that is relevant to our blog post readers. And sometimes the reverse is true! If you believe a section should be split up or reorganized, just bring it up here and we can discuss it. ### ~~Schedule V3 (claimed by @alice-i-cecile)~~ * [Migrate engine to Schedule v3][7267] * [Add `bevy_ecs::schedule_v3` module][6587] * [Stageless: fix unapplied systems][7446] * [Stageless: move final apply outside of spawned executor][7445] * Sets * Base Sets * [Base Sets][7466] * Reporting * [Report sets][7756] * [beter cycle reporting][7463] * Run Conditions * [Add condition negation][7559] * [And/Or][7605] * [Add more common run conditions][7579] * States * [States derive macro][7535] * System Piping Flexibility * [Support piping exclusive systems][7023] * [Allow piping run conditions][7547] ### ~~Depth and Normal Prepass (claimed by @IceSentry)~~ * [Add depth and normal prepass][6284] * [Move prepass functions to prepass_utils][7354] ### ~~Distance and Atmospheric Fog (claimed by @coreh)~~ * [Add Distance and Atmospheric Fog support][6412] ### ~~Cascaded Shadow Maps (claimed by @cart)~~ * [Cascaded shadow maps.][7064] * [Better cascades config defaults + builder, tweak example configs][7456] ### ~~Environment Map Lighting (claimed by @cart)~~ * [EnvironmentMapLight, BRDF Improvements][7051] * [Webgl2 support][7737] ### ~~Tonemapping options (claimed by @cart)~~ * [Initial tonemapping options][7594] ### ~~Android support + unification (claimed by @mockersf)~~ * [IOS, Android... same thing][7493] ### ~~Windows as Entities (claimed by @Aceeri)~~ * [Windows as Entities][5589] * [break feedback loop when moving cursor][7298] * [Fix `Window` feedback loop between the OS and Bevy][7517] ### ~~Enable Parallel Pipelined Rendering (claimed by @james7132)~~ * [Pipelined Rendering][6503] * [Stageless: add a method to scope to always run a task on the scope thread][7415] * [Separate Extract from Sub App Schedule][7046] ### ~~Smooth Skeletal Animation Transitions (claimed by @james7132)~~ * [Smooth Transition between Animations][6922] ### ~~Spatial Audio (claimed by @harudagondi)~~ * [Spatial Audio][6028] ### ~~Shader Processor Features (claimed by @cart)~~ * [Shader defs can now have a value][5900] * [Shaders can now have #else ifdef chains][7431] * [Define shader defs in shader][7518] ### ~~Shader Flexibility Improvements (claimed by @cart)~~ * [add ambient lighting hook][5428] * [Refactor Globals and View structs into separate shaders][7512] ### ~~Renderer Optimizations (claimed by @james7132)~~ * [bevy_pbr: Avoid copying structs and using registers in shaders][7069] * [Flatten render commands][6885] * [Replace UUID based IDs with a atomic-counted ones][6988] * [improve compile time by type-erasing wgpu structs][5950] * [Shrink DrawFunctionId][6944] * [Shrink ComputedVisibility][6305] * [Reduce branching in TrackedRenderPass][7053] * [Make PipelineCache internally mutable.][7205] * [Improve `Color::hex` performance][6940] * [Support recording multiple CommandBuffers in RenderContext][7248] * [Parallelized transform propagation][4775] * [Introduce detailed_trace macro, use in TrackedRenderPass][7639] * [Optimize color computation in prepare_uinodes][7311] * [Directly extract joints into SkinnedMeshJoints][6833] * [Parallelize forward kinematics animation systems][6785] * [Move system_commands spans into apply_buffers][6900] * [Reduce the use of atomics in the render phase][7084] ### ~~ECS Optimizations (claimed by @james7132 )~~ * [Remove redundant table and sparse set component IDs from Archetype][4927] * [Immutable sparse sets for metadata storage][4928] * [Replace BlobVec's swap_scratch with a swap_nonoverlapping][4853] * [Use T::Storage::STORAGE_TYPE to optimize out unused branches][6800] * [Remove unnecessary branching from bundle insertion][6902] * [Split Component Ticks][6547] * [use bevy_utils::HashMap for better performance.
