21/// Base class for threadsafe cache of data read from a file on disk.
22///
23/// We want configuration files to be "live" as much as possible.
24/// Reading them every time is simplest, but caching solves a few problems:
25/// - reading and parsing is cheap but not free (and happens on hot paths)
26/// - we can ignore invalid data and use the old value (we may see truncated
27/// compile_commands.json from non-atomic writers)
28/// - we avoid reporting the same errors repeatedly
29///
30/// We still read and parse the data synchronously on demand, but skip as much
31/// work as possible:
32/// - if not enough wall-time has elapsed, assume the data is still up-to-date
33/// - if we stat the file and it has the same mtime + size, don't read it
34/// - obviously we only have to parse when we re-read the file
35/// (Tracking OS change events is an alternative, but difficult to do portably.)
36///
37/// Caches for particular data (e.g. compilation databases) should inherit and:
38/// - add mutable storage for the cached parsed data
39/// - add a public interface implemented on top of read()
40class FileCache {
41protected:
42 // Path must be absolute.

45 // Updates the cached value if needed, then provides threadsafe access to it.
46 //
47 // Specifically:
48 // - Parse() may be called (if the cache was not up-to-date)
49 // The lock is held, so cache storage may be safely written.
50 // Parse(None) means the file doesn't exist.
51 // - Read() will always be called, to provide access to the value.
52 // The lock is again held, so the value can be copied or used.
53 //
54 // If the last Parse is newer than FreshTime, we don't check metadata.
55 // - time_point::min() means we only do IO if we never read the file before
56 // - time_point::max() means we always at least stat the file
57 // - steady_clock::now() + seconds(1) means we accept 1 second of staleness
