Description
Types of parsing/resolving today:
- When a builder asks for the AST of a file, the analyzer parses it
- When a builder resolves a file,
build_runnerparses it and its deps to get the directives graph; then passes those files to the analyzer, which again parses for the directives graph, parses for the full AST, and resolves
Possibly these can be reduced in a few days:
build_runneronly needs the directives, can we do a faster parse that stops after the directives? Or, can we dedupe the work so that ifbuild_runnerhas parsed for the directives, the parse result is used by the analyzer later?- if a builder only uses the element model and not the AST, can we save work by reduced parsing of method bodies?
Here is an example change that skips parsing method bodies to get a performance improvement.
