Description
The CStore
maintains a cache of decoded item attributes which:
- is an instance of shared mutable state that we'd like to avoid and
- is largely unused at this point because item attributes are also cached via the
item_attrs
query.
The remaining instances where the CrateMetadata::get_item_attrs()
is called directly should not be performance critical. To solve this issue:
- Remove the
attribute_cache
field fromCrateMetadata
and make things compile again - Open a PR so that we can due a performance test in order to verify that this indeed does not regress compile times.
