2015-08-10remove the compatibility markers for 4.13 abiDavid Kalnischkies
We aren't and we will not be really compatible again with the previous stable abi, so lets drop these markers (which never made it into a released version) for good as they have outlived their intend already. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10split-up Dependency structDavid Kalnischkies
Having dependency data separated from the link between version/package and the dependency allows use to work on sharing the depdency data a bit as it turns out that many dependencies are in fact duplicates. How many are duplicates various heavily with the sources configured, but for a single Debian release the ballpark is 2 duplicates for each dependency already (e.g. libc6 counts 18410 dependencies, but only 45 unique). Add more releases and the duplicates count only rises to get ~6 for 3 releases. For each architecture a user has configured which given the shear number of dependencies amounts to MBs of duplication. We can cut down on this number, but pay a heavy price for it: In my many releases(3) + architectures(3) test we have a 10% (~ 0.5 sec) increase in cache creationtime, but also 10% less cachesize (~ 10 MB). Further work is needed to rip the whole benefits from this through, so this is just the start. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10bunch of micro-optimizations for depcacheDavid Kalnischkies
DepCache functions are called a lot, so if we can squeeze some drops out of them for free we should do so. Takes also the opportunity to remove some whitespace errors from these functions. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10avoid virtual in the iteratorsDavid Kalnischkies
With a bit of trickery and the Curiously recurring template pattern we can free us from our use of virtual in the iterators were it is unneeded bloat as we never deal with pointers to iterators and similar such. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-08-10make all d-pointer * const pointersDavid Kalnischkies
Doing this disables the implicit copy assignment operator (among others) which would cause hovac if used on the classes as it would just copy the pointer, not the data the d-pointer points to. For most of the classes we don't need a copy assignment operator anyway and in many classes it was broken before as many contain a pointer of some sort. Only for our Cacheset Container interfaces we define an explicit copy assignment operator which could later be implemented to copy the data from one d-pointer to the other if we need it. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-06-16add d-pointer, virtual destructors and de-inline de/constructorsDavid Kalnischkies
To have a chance to keep the ABI for a while we need all three to team up. One of them missing and we might loose, so ensuring that they are available is a very tedious but needed task once in a while. Git-Dch: Ignore
2015-06-12store Release files data in the CacheDavid Kalnischkies
We used to read the Release file for each Packages file and store the data in the PackageFile struct even through potentially many Packages (and Translation-*) files could use the same data. The point of the exercise isn't the duplicated data through. Having the Release files as first-class citizens in the Cache allows us to properly track their state as well as allows us to use the information also for files which aren't in the cache, but where we know to which Release file they belong (Sources are an example for this). This modifies the pkgCache structs, especially the PackagesFile struct which depending on how libapt users access the data in these structs can mean huge breakage or no visible change. As a single data point: aptitude seems to be fine with this. Even if there is breakage it is trivial to fix in a backportable way while avoiding breakage for everyone would be a huge pain for us. Note that not all PackageFile structs have a corresponding ReleaseFile. In particular the dpkg/status file as well as *.deb files have not. As these have only a Archive property need, the Component property takes over this duty and the ReleaseFile remains zero. This is also the reason why it isn't needed nor particularily recommended to change from PackagesFile to ReleaseFile blindly. Sticking with the earlier is usually the better option.

2015-04-22remove "first package seen is native package" assumptionDavid Kalnischkies
The fix for #777760 causes packages of foreign (and the native) architectures, to be created correctly, but invalidates (like the previously existing, but policy-forbidden architecture-less packages we had to support for some upgrade scenarios) the assumption that the first (and only) package in the cache for a single architecture system must be the package for the native architecture (as, where should the other architectures come from, right? Wrong.). Depending on the order of parsing sources more or less packages can be effected by this. The effects are strange (for apt it mostly effects simulation/debug output, but also apt-mark on these specific packages), which complicates debugging, but relatively harmless if understood as most actions do not need direct named access to packages. The problem is fixed by removing the single-arch special casing in the paths who had them (Cache.FindPkg), so they use the same code as multi-arch systems, which use them as a wrapper for Grp.FindPkg. Note that single-arch system code was using Grp.FindPkg before as well if a Grp structure was handily available, so we don't introduce new untested code here: We remove more brittle special cases which are less tested instead (this was planed to be done for Stretch anyhow). Note further that the method with the assumption itself isn't fixed. As it is a private method I opted for declaring it deprecated instead and remove all its call positions. As it is private no-one can call this method legally (thanks to how c++ works by default its still an exported symbol through) and fixing it basically means reimplementing code we already have in Grp.FindPkg. Removing rather than fixing seems hence like a good solution. Closes: 782777 Thanks: Axel Beckert for testing

2014-11-10deprecate the Section member from package structDavid Kalnischkies
A version belongs to a section and has hence a section member of its own. A package on the other hand can have multiple versions from different sections. This was "solved" by using the section which was parsed first as order of sources.list defines, but that is obviously a horribly unpredictable thing. Users are way better of with the Section() as returned by the version they are dealing with. It is likely the same for all versions of a package, but in the few cases it isn't, it is important (like packages moving from main/* to contrib/* or into oldlibs …). Backport of 7a66977 which actually instantly removes the member.
2014-11-08guard pkg/grp hashtable creation changesDavid Kalnischkies
The change itself is no problem ABI wise, but the remove of the old undynamic hashtables is, so we bring it back for older abis and happily use the now available free space to backport more recent additions like the dynamic hashtable itself. Git-Dch: Ignore

2014-09-27drop stored StringItems in favor of in-memory mappingsDavid Kalnischkies
Strings like Section names or architectures are needed vary often. Instead of writing them each time we need them, we deploy sharing for these special strings. Until now, this was done with a linked list of strings in which we would search, which was stored in the cache. It turns out we can do this just as well in memory as well with a bunch of std::map's. In memory means here that it isn't available anymore if we have a partly invalid cache, but that isn't much of a problem in practice as the status file is compared to the other files we parse very small and includes mostly duplicates, so the space we would gain by storing is more or less equal to the size of the stored linked list…
2014-09-27packages in the cache are sorted by name so noise-freeDavid Kalnischkies
Commit aa0fe657e46b87cc692895a36df12e8b74bb27bb sorts the package names in the hashtable. We make use of this already in these functions, but as a minor sideeffect it also means that we don't have 'noise' anymore between packages belonging to the same group. We therefore don't need to check for a matching name in Grp.FindPkg anymore. Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-09-27search for pkg names in the cache case-sensitiveDavid Kalnischkies
Package names have to be lowercase (debian-policy §5.6.1) and in as lowlevel as these method are it would be quiet strange to treat an invalid package "suddently" as a valid one which other tools might or might not accept. If case-insensitivity is really needed the frontend should ensure this rather than these methods waste cpu cycles by default. Git-Dch: Ignore
2014-09-27deprecate Pkg->Name in favor of Grp->NameDavid Kalnischkies
They both store the same information, so this field just takes up space in the Package struct for no good reason. We mark it "just" as deprecated instead of instantly removing it though as it isn't misleading like Section was and is potentially used in the wild more often.
2014-06-18remove the Section member from package structDavid Kalnischkies
A version belongs to a section and has hence a section member of its own. A package on the other hand can have multiple versions from different sections. This was "solved" by using the section which was parsed first as order of sources.list defines, but that is obviously a horribly unpredictable thing. We therefore directly remove this struct member to free some space and mark the access method as deprecated, which is told to return the section of the 'newest' known version, which is at least predictable, but possible not what it returned before – but nobody knows. Users are way better of with the Section() as returned by the version they are dealing with. It is likely the same for all versions of a package, but in the few cases it isn't, it is important (like packages moving from main/* to contrib/* or into oldlibs …).
2014-06-18cleanup datatypes mix used in binary cacheDavid Kalnischkies
We had a wild mixture of (unsigned) int, long and long long here without much sense, so this commit adds a few typedefs to get some sense in the typesystem and ensures that a ID isn't sometimes computed as int, stored as long and compared with a long long… as this could potentially bite us later on as the size of the archive only increases over time.
2014-06-18increase hashtable size for packages/groups by factor 5David Kalnischkies
It also makes the size configureable, so it can be adapted in the future without the need for an abi break - and even by users… The increase was long overdue as it gives a >10% decrease in runtime of e.g. 'apt-get check -s'. Some (useless) benchmark with 69933 groups and 187796 packages without a pre-built cache: time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=1 → 20m time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=1000 → 6,41s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=2000 → 5,64s (old) time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=3000 → 5,30s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=5000 → 5,08s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=6000 → 5,05s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=7000 → 5,02s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=8000 → 5,00s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=9000 → 4,98s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=10000 → 4,96s (new) time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=15000 → 4,90s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=20000 → 4,86s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=30000 → 4,77s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=40000 → 4,74s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=50000 → 4,73s time apt-get check -so APT::Cache-HashTableSize=60000 → 4,71s The gap increases further for operations which have more package lookups. Factor 5 was chosen as higher values do not provide any really significant timing advantage anymore compared to the memory increase in my testing and there is always the possibility to increase it now if that changes. (also most users will not have 3 releases and 4 architectures in the cache, so theirs will be much smaller and faster).

2014-05-10invalid cache if architecture set doesn't matchDavid Kalnischkies
The cache heavily depends on the architecture(s) it is build for, especially if you move from single- to multiarch. Adding a new architecture to dpkg therefore has to be detected and must invalidate the cache so that we don't operate on incorrect data. The incorrect data will prevent us from doing otherwise sensible actions (it doesn't allow bad things to happen) and the recovery is simple and automatic in most cases, so this hides pretty well and is also not as serious as it might sound at first.

Adds on top of Version 2 to all displayed version numbers the architecture as well as the MultiArch flag for consumption by the hooks. Most of the time the architecture will be the same for both versions displayed, but packages might change from "all" to "any" (or back) between versions so we can't display the architecture for packages.
