Closes #124.
This is the naive approach, which does not attempt to read files or compute diagnostics in parallel (unless there's some
salsa
magic I don't understand happening under the hood).I was expecting this to be pretty slow, but on a codebase with 234 Nix files comprising 14,000 LOC,
nil diagnostics **/*.nix
completes in 33ms. (Compare this toparallel --max-args 1 nil diagnostics ::: **/*.nix
, which takes a full 4 seconds.)If we try
nil diagnostics **/*.nix
innixpkgs
, we get:Which was to be expected. Using
find
to executenil diagnostics
with as many arguments as possible (find . -path '*.nix' -exec nil diagnostics {} +
) completes in just 6.5 seconds! (That's to analyze 32,800 files containing 3 million LOC.)The comparable command for one-invocation-per-file (
find . -path '*.nix' | parallel --pipe --cat -L 1 --max-args 1 nil diagnostics {}
) takes... well, it's still running.
