It should specifically be the *same* code path that a tool uses when it runs over all TUs in-process. This is to me *really* important to ensure we get consistent behavior across these two possible workflows:</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">1) Run tool X over code in a.cc, b.cc, and c.cc in a single invocation. Internally hands rewrites to a library in Clang that de-dups and applies the edits.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">2) Run tool X over code in a.cc, b.cc, and c.cc; one invocation pre file. Each run writes out its edits in some form. Run tool Y which reads these edits and hands them to a library in Clang that de-dups and applies the edits.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">So, I essentially think that it *can't* be a separate system from Clang itself, it is intrinsically tied or it will yield different behavior (and endless confusion).</div>
</div></blockquote><div><br></div></div></div><div>I agree in principle, but I think the common core should live in lib/Tooling (and already does), and it's really really small (as it simply deduplicates the edits, perhaps reports conflicts, and then just uses the Rewriter to apply the changes - those are around 10 LOC).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Everything else in the extra tool is about reading the changes from disk,</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div></div><div>This makes sense to be in the helper tool...</div><div class="im">

<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><div> and using multi-threading to apply them in a scalable way.</div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div></div><div>I think this should be in the core code. If you have 10k files that you want to edit and you can analyze them in-process fast enough (may become realistic w/ modules), we should also apply the edits in a scalable way.</div>
</div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div>I think the sequential part of that step should be in the core code, but the parallelization will be in a (small) tool. This is also where special-case logic for custom networked file systems or strange version control systems would fall in.<div>
