* Further encapsulate dirty checking on `Attribute`Sean Griffin2015-10-021-11/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can skip the allocation of a full `AttributeSet` by changing the semantics of how we structure things. Instead of comparing two separate `AttributeSet` objects, and `Attribute` is now a singly linked list of every change that has happened to it. Since the attribute objects are immutable, to apply the changes we simply need to copy the head of the list. It's worth noting that this causes one subtle change in the behavior of AR. When a record is saved successfully, the `before_type_cast` version of everything will be what was sent to the database. I honestly think these semantics make more sense, as we could have just as easily had the DB do `RETURNING *` and updated the record with those if we had things like timestamps implemented at the DB layer. This brings our performance closer to 4.2, but we're still not quite there.
* Clean up the implementation of AR::DirtySean Griffin2015-09-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This moves a bit more of the logic required for dirty checking into the attribute objects. I had hoped to remove the `with_value_from_database` stuff, but unfortunately just calling `dup` on the attribute objects isn't enough, since the values might contain deeply nested data structures. I think this can be cleaned up further. This makes most dirty checking become lazy, and reduces the number of object allocations and amount of CPU time when assigning a value. This opens the door (but doesn't quite finish) to improving the performance of writes to a place comparable to 4.1
* Persist user provided default values, even if unchangedSean Griffin2015-05-281-1/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a usability change to fix a quirk from our definition of partial writes. By default, we only persist changed attributes. When creating a new record, this is assumed that the default values came from the database. However, if the user provided a default, it will not be persisted, since we didn't see it as "changed". Since this is a very specific case, I wanted to isolate it with the other quirks that come from user provided default values. The number of edge cases which are presenting themselves are starting to make me wonder if we should just remove the ability to assign a default, in favor of overriding `initialize`. For the time being, this is required for the attributes API to not have confusing behavior. We had to delete one test, since this actually changes the meaning of `.changed?` on Active Record models. It now specifically means `changed_from_database?`. While I think this will make the attributes API more ergonomic to use, it is a subtle change in definition (though not a backwards incompatible one). We should probably figure out the right place to document this. (Feel free to open a PR doing that if you're reading this). /cc @rafaelfranca @kirs @senny This is an alternate implementation of #19921. Close #19921. [Sean Griffin & Kir Shatrov]
* Allow proc defaults with the Attributes APISean Griffin2015-05-281-0/+19
This is a variant implementation of the changes proposed in #19914. Unlike that PR, the change in behavior is isolated in its own class. This is to prevent wonky behavior if a Proc is assigned outside of the default, and it is a natural place to place the behavior required by #19921 as well. Close #19914. [Sean Griffin & Kir Shatrov]
