#!/usr/bin/env bash # Regression test for the single assumption this whole caching scheme rests # on: that a build running inside a hardlink clone cannot mutate the directory # it was cloned from. # # That assumption is FALSE for a plain `cp -al`. Measured, and asserted below # as an explicit control: build in a raw `cp -al` clone and the source's # `.fingerprint//dep-*` (under CARGO_UNSTABLE_CHECKSUM_FRESHNESS), # `build//output`, `build//out/**` and `deps/*.d` all change, # because Cargo and build scripts write those with a plain truncating write # rather than the write-then-rename Cargo uses for real artifacts. # # The consequence is not a slow build, it is a wrong one: a PR clone rewrites # the base's dep-info to describe the PR's sources while the base's cache # still holds the artifact built from the base's sources; once the PR merges, # the base's next run finds the checksums match its (now merged) sources, # reports `Fresh`, and links a binary built from the pre-merge code. # # cache-lib.sh's unshare_mutable_paths() is what closes that, and this test is # what proves it stays closed. The control matters as much as the fix: a # scenario that passes for both would prove nothing. # # Needs a working cargo on PATH. Everything happens under a mktemp -d scratch # tree.
