pub struct Durability(_);
Expand description

Describes how likely a value is to change – how “durable” it is. By default, inputs have Durability::LOW and interned values have Durability::HIGH. But inputs can be explicitly set with other durabilities.

We use durabilities to optimize the work of “revalidating” a query after some input has changed. Ordinarily, in a new revision, queries have to trace all their inputs back to the base inputs to determine if any of those inputs have changed. But if we know that the only changes were to inputs of low durability (the common case), and we know that the query only used inputs of medium durability or higher, then we can skip that enumeration.

Typically, one assigns low durabilites to inputs that the user is frequently editing. Medium or high durabilities are used for configuration, the source from library crates, or other things that are unlikely to be edited.

Implementations

Low durability: things that change frequently.

Example: part of the crate being edited

Medium durability: things that change sometimes, but rarely.

Example: a Cargo.toml file

High durability: things that are not expected to change under common usage.

Example: the standard library or something from crates.io
