* gnu/packages.scm (generate-package-cache)[expand-cache]: Add synopsis and
description.
(load-package-cache, find-packages-by-names, find-packages-locations): Adapt
accordingly.
(fold-available-packages): Add synopsis, description, module and symbol when
cache is authoritative.  Replace 'fold-packages' by
'fold-module-public-variables*' when cache is not authoritative.

Hi Simon,

I understand that one of the things you are trying to do is to have a
common interface for the cache and no-cache cases. To achieve this, I
think fold-available-packages and fold-packages should have the same
function signature. They should both pass a <package> object to
PROC. Currently, fold-packages is passing a <package> object whereas
fold-available-packages is passing the fields of the <package> object as
individual parameters. If fold-packages and fold-available-packages have
the same function signature, then the changes in your [PATCH v6 2/2]
would be way simpler.

Also, why do we need two separate functions---fold-available-packages
and fold-packages? Can't fold-available-packages do everything
fold-packages can and thus totally replace it?

A couple of typos here:

find-packages-by-names -> find-packages-by-name
find-packages-locations -> find-package-locations

Arun

Hi Arun!

The initial goal was for ‘fold-available-packages’ to be lightweight.
Currently, it doesn’t allocate anything; instead, it passes info as
keyword parameters, which the callee is free to ignore.  That’s why
these two procedures have different signatures.

One benchmark is “guix package -A > /dev/null”.  This should take
ideally 0.5s at most because that’s what’s used by shell completion (the
first time); currently it takes 0.82s on my laptop, though.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Hi Arun and Ludo,

Thanks for the review.

I agree.  Previously [1], I created ’fold-packages*’ which was a cached
’fold-packages’ and Ludo answered [2]:

        Did you see ‘fold-available-packages’?  It seems you could
        extend it instead of introducing ‘fold-packages*’, no?

therefore, it is somehow another attempt on the other side. :-)

To be honest, I have been lazy because unifying
’fold-available-packages’ and ’fold-packages’ means to change the
signature and so a bit of refactoring.  And as Ludo explained,
’fold-available-packages’ has to be as light as possible because it is
used by Emacs-Guix and maybe Nyxt for completion. :-)

Thanks for the spot.

On cold cache, on my laptop:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ time guix package -A > /dev/null

real	0m1.717s
user	0m2.526s
sys	0m0.083s
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and on my (slow) desktop:

real	0m6.196s
user	0m2.008s
sys	0m0.093s


Warn cache:
        laptop          desktop
real	0m1.425s        0m1.217s
user	0m2.505s   	0m1.901s
sys	0m0.033s   	0m0.051s


Well, another story I guess. :-)


Cheers,
simon
