// Package methodsets defines an incremental, serializable index of
// method-set information that allows efficient 'implements' queries
// across packages of the workspace without using the type checker.
//
// This package provides only the "global" (all workspace) search; the
// "local" search within a given package uses a different
// implementation based on type-checker data structures for a single
// package plus variants; see ../implementation2.go.
// The local algorithm is more precise as it tests function-local types too.
//
// A global index of function-local types is challenging since they
// may reference other local types, for which we would need to invent
// stable names, an unsolved problem described in passing in Go issue
// 57497. The global algorithm also does not index anonymous interface
// types, even outside function bodies.
//
// Consequently, global results are not symmetric: applying the
// operation twice may not get you back where you started.
package methodsets

// DESIGN
//
// See https://go.dev/cl/452060 for a minimal exposition of the algorithm.
//
// For each method, we compute a fingerprint: a string representing
// the method name and type such that equal fingerprint strings mean
// identical method types.
//
// For efficiency, the fingerprint is reduced to a single bit
// of a uint64, so that the method set can be represented as
// the union of those method bits (a uint64 bitmask).
// Assignability thus reduces to a subset check on bitmasks
// followed by equality checks on fingerprints.
//
// In earlier experiments, using 128-bit masks instead of 64 reduced
// the number of candidates by about 2x. Using (like a Bloom filter) a
// different hash function to compute a second 64-bit mask and
// performing a second mask test reduced it by about 4x.
// Neither had much effect on the running time, presumably because a
// single 64-bit mask is quite effective. See CL 452060 for details.
