UUID continuation #4453

jkthorne · 2017-05-23T21:23:43Z

I wanted to continue the work of UUID on crystal from #2716

ysbaddaden

Looks good overall. I mostly outlined a few optimizations and cleanups.

I'd like well named factories for easy usages, over having to specify a UUID::Version, so we'd have an explicit UUID.random instead of UUID.new(UUID::Version::V4).

We have Slice#hexstring maybe we could have a symetric UUID#hexstring?

Wouldn't uuid.should eq("c3b46146eb794e18877b4d46a10d1517") work?

You should just specify the @bytes type:

@bytes : StaticArray(UInt8, 16)

This will require to change #initialize(String) but could avoid a zero fill:

def initialize(value : String) @bytes = uninitialized UInt8[16] decode(value) end

As well as #initialize which can be solved with a factory:

def self.new new(Version::V4) end

Typo: "Sets version".

It should be a constant, along with some other namespaces:

EMPTY = UUID.new(StaticArray(UInt8, 16).new(0_u8)) DNS = UUID.new("6ba7b810-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8") URL = UUID.new("6ba7b811-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8") OID = UUID.new("6ba7b812-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8") X500 = UUID.new("6ba7b814-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8")

I don't think we'd need the #empty method anymore —since UUID is a struct it will always be copied.

We can avoid a copy and directly fill @bytes, which also avoids a HEAP allocation by SecureRandom:

@bytes = uninitialized UInt8[16] SecureRandom.random_bytes(@bytes.to_slice)

Also, maybe we could per version factories, for a nicer API?

def self.random bytes = uninitialized UInt8[16] SecureRandom.random_bytes(bytes.to_slice) uuid = new(bytes) uuid.variant = Variant::RFC4122 uuid.version = Version::V4 uuid end

We don't need the byte_version class methods. They should be inlined in #version and #version=.

I still don't think I get what you mean by this

Simply that the byte_version class methods are only used in the version getter/setter and are thus useless. We don't need the class methods. Whatever they do should be moved to the version getter and setter.

Same for variant.

Thanks for having the patience to apply all the suggestions! But why did you introduce Random.random_bytes and use it when SecureRandom did a better job?

Why did you remove this?

I said exactly my reasoning above, it's magic, and costly, and unexpected.

Considering also the constraint that x == y implies x.hash == y.hash then we'd have to implement hash using to_s too, which is costly even if you don't use this.

Why would you want to pass existing UUID with different variant or version, what's the use case? Shouldn't this be a no-op?

No, this is a copy constructor. It creates a copy of another UUID but allows you to overwrite the variant or version, it replaces variant= and version=.

I mean I have no problem having this in general. I would not use it.
But I would not have deleted the code you did for this.

~~If it's a copy constructor shouldn't the variant and version be taken from the given uuid?~~

RX14 · 2017-11-08T01:08:03Z

I would be surprised if any core team member didn't want UUID to be immutable, but perhaps I moved too hastily and without consensus.

jkthorne · 2017-11-08T01:09:59Z

Yeah I would like to see this in a PR personally there is just a lot of changes here.
But I would like to separate it out.

RX14 · 2017-11-08T23:16:48Z

So you want me to create a PR instead of yours?

jkthorne · 2017-11-09T05:29:40Z

@RX14 to be honest this is not how I am using UUID and I am not sure what the philosophy of the project is ie. immutability. but whatever gets it merged at this point I am down with. I feel like this PR is so long in the tooth I am willing to release it as a library instead of contributing upstream.

RX14 · 2017-11-09T13:37:45Z

@wontruefree well, how are you using UUID? It would be helpful to know.

You can do everything in this PR that you could before I made it immutable, it's just much less confusing at the cost of some rare actions being a bit more code.

RX14 · 2017-11-20T12:21:24Z

This pr seems to be stalled. I suggest we review it and attempt to merge it as-is.

jkthorne · 2017-11-20T19:24:56Z

Another option is I can just release this as a library and remove it from the std lib

RX14 · 2017-11-20T20:44:00Z

I believe it belongs in the stdlib.

jkthorne · 2017-11-21T00:01:07Z

Is there a path to get this merged?

RX14 · 2017-11-21T14:54:49Z

@wontruefree yes, it just needs a positive review by another member of the core team. There might be some remaining objections but I don't see why it couldn't be merged in theory.

mverzilli · 2017-11-21T14:57:34Z

@RX14 maybe it's a GitHub glitch, but what I'm seeing here is that both you and @ysbaddaden have requested changes.

@wontruefree I'll review this between today and tomorrow, thanks for the hard work and patience!

RX14 · 2017-11-21T15:39:04Z

@mverzilli well I amended the PR with my own commits, so obviously I've reviewed it. As far as I know, @ysbaddaden's review is outdated.

Did you mean "if UUID looks as"?

"If UUID has version Vx" would make more sense surely?

mverzilli · 2017-11-23T21:25:20Z

I think it looks good overall, only one question:

Why are we constantly using to_s to compare UUIDs in specs? Shouldn't we directly compare UUID instances?

I understand the code will get a bit bulkier and I'm willing to merge it as is if people don't share my opinion here, but at least I'd like to know what other folks think about this before proceeding.

RX14 · 2017-11-23T21:32:40Z

@mverzilli as long as the to_s specs properly test to_s, I don't see the problem. And as you said, this way is much neater.
