I was able to contain all the gates in a new
maybe-rayon
crate. When concurrency is enabled, it is a thin wrapper around the rayon API, or at least the part of the API that the rest of the codebase uses. When it is disabled, the crate provides the same API except that the implementation is completely serial, and doesn't depend on rayon.Every feature gate is now either in
maybe-rayon
, in some comments in thesteenrod
example, or in theresolve_concurrent
benchmark.By unifying some parts of the code, it happens that serial operations now needlessly communicate via mpsc channels. Also, secondary computations now unconditionally compute intermediates upfront, but that's simply a reordering of the same operations as previously. As far as I can tell, performance is unchanged.
