use a Dict instead of an IdDict for caching of the
cwstring
for Win…
…dows env variables (#52758) Should fix #52711. My analysis of the invalidation is as follows: We added code to cache the conversion to `cwstring` in env handling on Windows (#51371): ```julia const env_dict = IdDict{String, Vector{UInt16}}() function memoized_env_lookup(str::AbstractString) ... env_dict[str] = cwstring(str) ... end function access_env(onError::Function, str::AbstractString) var = memoized_env_lookup(str) ... end ``` Since `IdDict` has `@nospecialize` on `setindex!` we compile this method: ```julia setindex!(::IdDict{String, Vector{UInt16}}, ::Any, ::Any) ``` which has an edge to: ```julia convert(Type{Vector{Int64}}, Any}) ``` But then StaticArrays comes along and adds a method ```julia convert(::Type{Array{T, N}}, ::StaticArray) ``` which invalidates the `setindex!` (due to the edge to `convert`) which invalidates the whole env handling on Windows which causes 4k other methods downstream to be invalidated, in particular, the artifact string macro which causes a significant delay in the next jll package you load after loading StaticArrays. There should be no performance penalty to this since strings already does a hash for their `objectid`. (cherry picked from commit b7c24ed)
