There were three attempts at vanquishing exponential time spent in Public dependency resolution. All failures. All three started with some refactoring that seams worth saving. Specifically the data structure public_dependency that is used to test for Public dependency conflicts is large, tricky, and modified in line. So lets make it a type with a name and move the interactions into methods.

Next each attempt needed to know how far back to jump to undo any given dependency edge. I am fairly confident that any full solution will need this functionality. I also think any solution will need a way to represent richer conflicts than the existing "is this pid active". So let's keep the still_applies structure from the last attempt.

Last each attempt needs to pick a way to represent a Public dependency conflict. The last attempt used three facts about a situation.

  • a1: PublicDependency(p) witch can be read as the package p can see the package a1
  • b: PublicDependency(p) witch can be read as the package p can see the package b
  • a2: PubliclyExports(b) witch can be read as the package b has the package a2 in its publick interface.

This representation is good enough to allow for backjumping. I.E. find_candidate can go back several frames until the age when the Public dependency conflict was introduced. This optimization, added for normal dependencies in #4834, saves the most time in practice. So having it for Public dependency conflicts is important for allowing real world experimentation of the Public dependencies feature. We will have to alter/improve/replace this representation to unlock all of the important optimizations. But I don't know one that will work for all of them and this is a major step forward.

Can be read one commit at a time.

@Eh2406 would you like me to take over reviewing this? If so, anything else you'd like me to know before starting?

Happy to have your revue! It is probably under documented, so guidance on what is confusing is helpful. The older commits are more clear benefits then the newer ones. If the new representation of a conflict requires long discussion then we can split this PR. Land the refactorings, and discuss the representation separately.

Sorry for taking awhile to get back to this. My eyes unfortunately still sort of glaze over when reading the resolver, so I think I'm sort of quickly becoming not able to review too much of the technical content of these sorts of changes to the resolver. That being said I trust you and this is a pretty sequestered part of the resolver, so I'm fine adding this in-tree and we can continue to iterate over time.

Again sorry for the delay, it takes me a long time to build up energy to dive into the resolver nowadays :(

Public dependency refactor and re-allow backjumping

There were **three** attempts at vanquishing exponential time spent in Public dependency resolution. All failures. All three started with some refactoring that seams worth saving. Specifically the data structure `public_dependency` that is used to test for Public dependency conflicts is large, tricky, and modified in line. So lets make it a type with a name and move the interactions into methods.

Next each attempt needed to know how far back to jump to undo any given dependency edge. I am fairly confident that any full solution will need this functionality. I also think any solution will need a way to represent richer conflicts than the existing "is this pid active". So let's keep the `still_applies` structure from the last attempt.

Last each attempt needs to pick a way to represent a Public dependency conflict. The last attempt used three facts about a situation.

- `a1`: `PublicDependency(p)` witch can be read as the package `p` can see the package `a1`
- `b`: `PublicDependency(p)` witch can be read as the package `p` can see the package `b`
- `a2`: `PubliclyExports(b)` witch can be read as the package `b` has the package `a2` in its publick interface.

This representation is good enough to allow for `backjumping`. I.E. `find_candidate` can go back several frames until the `age` when the Public dependency conflict was introduced. This optimization, added for normal dependencies in #4834, saves the most time in practice. So having it for Public dependency conflicts is important for allowing real world experimentation of the Public dependencies feature.
