Previously, it was not possible to encode/decode an object graph which
contained a pointer to a field within another type. This was because the
encoder was previously unable to disambiguate a pointer to an object and a
pointer within the object.
This CL remedies this by constructing an address map tracking the full memory
range object occupy. The encoded Refvalue message has been extended to allow
references to children objects within another object. Because the encoding
process may learn about object structure over time, we cannot encode any
objects under the entire graph has been generated.
This CL also updates the state package to use standard interfaces intead of
reflection-based dispatch in order to improve performance overall. This
includes a custom wire protocol to significantly reduce the number of
allocations and take advantage of structure packing.
As part of these changes, there are a small number of minor changes in other
places of the code base:
* The lists used during encoding are changed to use intrusive lists with the
objectEncodeState directly, which required that the ilist Len() method is
updated to work properly with the ElementMapper mechanism.
* A bug is fixed in the list code wherein Remove() called on an element that is
already removed can corrupt the list (removing the element if there's only a
single element). Now the behavior is correct.
* Standard error wrapping is introduced.
* Compressio was updated to implement the new wire.Reader and wire.Writer
inteface methods directly. The lack of a ReadByte and WriteByte caused issues
not due to interface dispatch, but because underlying slices for a Read or
Write call through an interface would always escape to the heap!
* Statify has been updated to support the new APIs.
See README.md for a description of how the new mechanism works.
