loot-condition-interpreter
An experimental library for parsing and evaluating LOOT's metadata condition strings. This library improves upon LOOT's existing implementation in the following ways:
- Condition expressions are parsed into an intermediate representation instead of being stringly typed, which allows parsing and evaluation to be separated.
- State is uncoupled by necessity, and Rusts's concurrency guarantees mean it can be accessed more efficiently.
- Results are cached with more granularity, per function instead of per expression, improving performance when expressions are not entirely different.
- Result caching is guided by benchmarks, so results aren't cached unnecessarily.
- Reading executable versions doesn't involve calling out to the shell and piping several commands together when on Linux.
The code is also not as much of a mess, it's got benchmarks, and probably better test coverage.
The library is still experimental because it currently lacks:
- an FFI for LOOT to call it through
The tests need the testing-plugins and the LOOT API v0.13.8 Windows archives to be extracted and present in the repo root.
