Split WorldQuery into WorldQueryData and WorldQueryFilter (#9918) # Objective - Fixes #7680 - This is an updated for https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8899 which had the same objective but fell a long way behind the latest changes ## Solution The traits `WorldQueryData : WorldQuery` and `WorldQueryFilter : WorldQuery` have been added and some of the types and functions from `WorldQuery` has been moved into them. `ReadOnlyWorldQuery` has been replaced with `ReadOnlyWorldQueryData`. `WorldQueryFilter` is safe (as long as `WorldQuery` is implemented safely). `WorldQueryData` is unsafe - safely implementing it requires that `Self::ReadOnly` is a readonly version of `Self` (this used to be a safety requirement of `WorldQuery`) The type parameters `Q` and `F` of `Query` must now implement `WorldQueryData` and `WorldQueryFilter` respectively. This makes it impossible to accidentally use a filter in the data position or vice versa which was something that could lead to bugs. ~~Compile failure tests have been added to check this.~~ It was previously sometimes useful to use `Option<With<T>>` in the data position. Use `Has<T>` instead in these cases. The `WorldQuery` derive macro has been split into separate derive macros for `WorldQueryData` and `WorldQueryFilter`. Previously it was possible to derive both `WorldQuery` for a struct that had a mixture of data and filter items. This would not work correctly in some cases but could be a useful pattern in others. *This is no longer possible.* --- ## Notes - The changes outside of `bevy_ecs` are all changing type parameters to the new types, updating the macro use, or replacing `Option<With<T>>` with `Has<T>`. - All `WorldQueryData` types always returned `true` for `IS_ARCHETYPAL` so I moved it to `WorldQueryFilter` and replaced all calls to it with `true`. That should be the only logic change outside of the macro generation code. - `Changed<T>` and `Added<T>` were being generated by a macro that I have expanded. Happy to revert that if desired. - The two derive macros share some functions for implementing `WorldQuery` but the tidiest way I could find to implement them was to give them a ton of arguments and ask clippy to ignore that. ## Changelog ### Changed - Split `WorldQuery` into `WorldQueryData` and `WorldQueryFilter` which now have separate derive macros. It is not possible to derive both for the same type. - `Query` now requires that the first type argument implements `WorldQueryData` and the second implements `WorldQueryFilter` ## Migration Guide - Update derives ```rust // old #[derive(WorldQuery)] #[world_query(mutable, derive(Debug))] struct CustomQuery { entity: Entity, a: &'static mut ComponentA } #[derive(WorldQuery)] struct QueryFilter { _c: With<ComponentC> } // new #[derive(WorldQueryData)] #[world_query_data(mutable, derive(Debug))] struct CustomQuery { entity: Entity, a: &'static mut ComponentA, } #[derive(WorldQueryFilter)] struct QueryFilter { _c: With<ComponentC> } ``` - Replace `Option<With<T>>` with `Has<T>` ```rust /// old fn my_system(query: Query<(Entity, Option<With<ComponentA>>)>) { for (entity, has_a_option) in query.iter(){ let has_a:bool = has_a_option.is_some(); //todo!() } } /// new fn my_system(query: Query<(Entity, Has<ComponentA>)>) { for (entity, has_a) in query.iter(){ //todo!() } } ``` - Fix queries which had filters in the data position or vice versa. ```rust // old fn my_system(query: Query<(Entity, With<ComponentA>)>) { for (entity, _) in query.iter(){ //todo!() } } // new fn my_system(query: Query<Entity, With<ComponentA>>) { for entity in query.iter(){ //todo!() } } // old fn my_system(query: Query<AnyOf<(&ComponentA, With<ComponentB>)>>) { for (entity, _) in query.iter(){ //todo!() } } // new fn my_system(query: Query<Option<&ComponentA>, Or<(With<ComponentA>, With<ComponentB>)>>) { for entity in query.iter(){ //todo!() } } ``` --------- Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecile@gmail.com>

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over).

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Generalised ECS reactivity with Observers (#10839) # Objective - Provide an expressive way to register dynamic behavior in response to ECS changes that is consistent with existing bevy types and traits as to provide a smooth user experience. - Provide a mechanism for immediate changes in response to events during command application in order to facilitate improved query caching on the path to relations. ## Solution - A new fundamental ECS construct, the `Observer`; inspired by flec's observers but adapted to better fit bevy's access patterns and rust's type system. --- ## Examples There are 3 main ways to register observers. The first is a "component observer" that looks like this: ```rust world.observe(|trigger: Trigger<OnAdd, Transform>, query: Query<&Transform>| { let transform = query.get(trigger.entity()).unwrap(); }); ``` The above code will spawn a new entity representing the observer that will run it's callback whenever the `Transform` component is added to an entity. This is a system-like function that supports dependency injection for all the standard bevy types: `Query`, `Res`, `Commands` etc. It also has a `Trigger` parameter that provides information about the trigger such as the target entity, and the event being triggered. Importantly these systems run during command application which is key for their future use to keep ECS internals up to date. There are similar events for `OnInsert` and `OnRemove`, and this will be expanded with things such as `ArchetypeCreated`, `TableEmpty` etc. in follow up PRs. Another way to register an observer is an "entity observer" that looks like this: ```rust world.entity_mut(entity).observe(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>| { // ... }); ``` Entity observers run whenever an event of their type is triggered targeting that specific entity. This type of observer will de-spawn itself if the entity (or entities) it is observing is ever de-spawned so as to not leave dangling observers. Entity observers can also be spawned from deferred contexts such as other observers, systems, or hooks using commands: ```rust commands.entity(entity).observe(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>| { // ... }); ``` Observers are not limited to in built event types, they can be used with any type that implements `Event` (which has been extended to implement Component). This means events can also carry data: ```rust #[derive(Event)] struct Resize { x: u32, y: u32 } commands.entity(entity).observe(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>, query: Query<&mut Size>| { let event = trigger.event(); // ... }); // Will trigger the observer when commands are applied. commands.trigger_targets(Resize { x: 10, y: 10 }, entity); ``` You can also trigger events that target more than one entity at a time: ```rust commands.trigger_targets(Resize { x: 10, y: 10 }, [e1, e2]); ``` Additionally, Observers don't _need_ entity targets: ```rust app.observe(|trigger: Trigger<Quit>| { }) commands.trigger(Quit); ``` In these cases, `trigger.entity()` will be a placeholder. Observers are actually just normal entities with an `ObserverState` and `Observer` component! The `observe()` functions above are just shorthand for: ```rust world.spawn(Observer::new(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>| {}); ``` This will spawn the `Observer` system and use an `on_add` hook to add the `ObserverState` component. Dynamic components and trigger types are also fully supported allowing for runtime defined trigger types. ## Possible Follow-ups 1. Deprecate `RemovedComponents`, observers should fulfill all use cases while being more flexible and performant. 2. Queries as entities: Swap queries to entities and begin using observers listening to archetype creation triggers to keep their caches in sync, this allows unification of `ObserverState` and `QueryState` as well as unlocking several API improvements for `Query` and the management of `QueryState`. 3. Trigger bubbling: For some UI use cases in particular users are likely to want some form of bubbling for entity observers, this is trivial to implement naively but ideally this includes an acceleration structure to cache hierarchy traversals. 4. All kinds of other in-built trigger types. 5. Optimization; in order to not bloat the complexity of the PR I have kept the implementation straightforward, there are several areas where performance can be improved. The focus for this PR is to get the behavior implemented and not incur a performance cost for users who don't use observers. I am leaving each of these to follow up PR's in order to keep each of them reviewable as this already includes significant changes. --------- Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecile@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: MiniaczQ <xnetroidpl@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Carter Anderson <mcanders1@gmail.com>

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess.

Generalised ECS reactivity with Observers (#10839) # Objective - Provide an expressive way to register dynamic behavior in response to ECS changes that is consistent with existing bevy types and traits as to provide a smooth user experience. - Provide a mechanism for immediate changes in response to events during command application in order to facilitate improved query caching on the path to relations. ## Solution - A new fundamental ECS construct, the `Observer`; inspired by flec's observers but adapted to better fit bevy's access patterns and rust's type system. --- ## Examples There are 3 main ways to register observers. The first is a "component observer" that looks like this: ```rust world.observe(|trigger: Trigger<OnAdd, Transform>, query: Query<&Transform>| { let transform = query.get(trigger.entity()).unwrap(); }); ``` The above code will spawn a new entity representing the observer that will run it's callback whenever the `Transform` component is added to an entity. This is a system-like function that supports dependency injection for all the standard bevy types: `Query`, `Res`, `Commands` etc. It also has a `Trigger` parameter that provides information about the trigger such as the target entity, and the event being triggered. Importantly these systems run during command application which is key for their future use to keep ECS internals up to date. There are similar events for `OnInsert` and `OnRemove`, and this will be expanded with things such as `ArchetypeCreated`, `TableEmpty` etc. in follow up PRs. Another way to register an observer is an "entity observer" that looks like this: ```rust world.entity_mut(entity).observe(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>| { // ... }); ``` Entity observers run whenever an event of their type is triggered targeting that specific entity. This type of observer will de-spawn itself if the entity (or entities) it is observing is ever de-spawned so as to not leave dangling observers. Entity observers can also be spawned from deferred contexts such as other observers, systems, or hooks using commands: ```rust commands.entity(entity).observe(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>| { // ... }); ``` Observers are not limited to in built event types, they can be used with any type that implements `Event` (which has been extended to implement Component). This means events can also carry data: ```rust #[derive(Event)] struct Resize { x: u32, y: u32 } commands.entity(entity).observe(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>, query: Query<&mut Size>| { let event = trigger.event(); // ... }); // Will trigger the observer when commands are applied. commands.trigger_targets(Resize { x: 10, y: 10 }, entity); ``` You can also trigger events that target more than one entity at a time: ```rust commands.trigger_targets(Resize { x: 10, y: 10 }, [e1, e2]); ``` Additionally, Observers don't _need_ entity targets: ```rust app.observe(|trigger: Trigger<Quit>| { }) commands.trigger(Quit); ``` In these cases, `trigger.entity()` will be a placeholder. Observers are actually just normal entities with an `ObserverState` and `Observer` component! The `observe()` functions above are just shorthand for: ```rust world.spawn(Observer::new(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>| {}); ``` This will spawn the `Observer` system and use an `on_add` hook to add the `ObserverState` component. Dynamic components and trigger types are also fully supported allowing for runtime defined trigger types. ## Possible Follow-ups 1. Deprecate `RemovedComponents`, observers should fulfill all use cases while being more flexible and performant. 2. Queries as entities: Swap queries to entities and begin using observers listening to archetype creation triggers to keep their caches in sync, this allows unification of `ObserverState` and `QueryState` as well as unlocking several API improvements for `Query` and the management of `QueryState`. 3. Trigger bubbling: For some UI use cases in particular users are likely to want some form of bubbling for entity observers, this is trivial to implement naively but ideally this includes an acceleration structure to cache hierarchy traversals. 4. All kinds of other in-built trigger types. 5. Optimization; in order to not bloat the complexity of the PR I have kept the implementation straightforward, there are several areas where performance can be improved. The focus for this PR is to get the behavior implemented and not incur a performance cost for users who don't use observers. I am leaving each of these to follow up PR's in order to keep each of them reviewable as this already includes significant changes. --------- Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecile@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: MiniaczQ <xnetroidpl@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Carter Anderson <mcanders1@gmail.com>

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Remove unnecessary branching from bundle insertion (#6902) # Objective Speed up bundle insertion and spawning from a bundle. ## Solution Use the same technique used in #6800 to remove the branch on storage type when writing components from a `Bundle` into storage. - Add a `StorageType` argument to the closure on `Bundle::get_components`. - Pass `C::Storage::STORAGE_TYPE` into that argument. - Match on that argument instead of reading from a `Vec<StorageType>` in `BundleInfo`. - Marked all implementations of `Bundle::get_components` as inline to encourage dead code elimination. The `Vec<StorageType>` in `BundleInfo` was also removed as it's no longer needed. If users were reliant on this, they can either use the compile time constants or fetch the information from `Components`. Should save a rather negligible amount of memory. ## Performance Microbenchmarks show a slight improvement to inserting components into existing entities, as well as spawning from a bundle. Ranging about 8-16% faster depending on the benchmark. ``` group main soft-constant-write-components ----- ---- ------------------------------ add_remove/sparse_set 1.08 1019.0±80.10µs ? ?/sec 1.00 944.6±66.86µs ? ?/sec add_remove/table 1.07 1343.3±20.37µs ? ?/sec 1.00 1257.3±18.13µs ? ?/sec add_remove_big/sparse_set 1.08 1132.4±263.10µs ? ?/sec 1.00 1050.8±240.74µs ? ?/sec add_remove_big/table 1.02 2.6±0.05ms ? ?/sec 1.00 2.5±0.08ms ? ?/sec get_or_spawn/batched 1.15 401.4±17.76µs ? ?/sec 1.00 349.3±11.26µs ? ?/sec get_or_spawn/individual 1.13 732.1±43.35µs ? ?/sec 1.00 645.6±41.44µs ? ?/sec insert_commands/insert 1.12 623.9±37.48µs ? ?/sec 1.00 557.4±34.99µs ? ?/sec insert_commands/insert_batch 1.16 401.4±17.00µs ? ?/sec 1.00 347.4±12.87µs ? ?/sec insert_simple/base 1.08 416.9±5.60µs ? ?/sec 1.00 385.2±4.14µs ? ?/sec insert_simple/unbatched 1.06 934.5±44.58µs ? ?/sec 1.00 881.3±47.86µs ? ?/sec spawn_commands/2000_entities 1.09 190.7±11.41µs ? ?/sec 1.00 174.7±9.15µs ? ?/sec spawn_commands/4000_entities 1.10 386.5±25.33µs ? ?/sec 1.00 352.3±18.81µs ? ?/sec spawn_commands/6000_entities 1.10 586.2±34.42µs ? ?/sec 1.00 535.3±27.25µs ? ?/sec spawn_commands/8000_entities 1.08 778.5±45.15µs ? ?/sec 1.00 718.0±33.66µs ? ?/sec spawn_world/10000_entities 1.04 1026.4±195.46µs ? ?/sec 1.00 985.8±253.37µs ? ?/sec spawn_world/1000_entities 1.06 103.8±20.23µs ? ?/sec 1.00 97.6±18.22µs ? ?/sec spawn_world/100_entities 1.15 11.4±4.25µs ? ?/sec 1.00 9.9±1.87µs ? ?/sec spawn_world/10_entities 1.05 1030.8±229.78ns ? ?/sec 1.00 986.2±231.12ns ? ?/sec spawn_world/1_entities 1.01 105.1±23.33ns ? ?/sec 1.00 104.6±31.84ns ? ?/sec ``` --- ## Changelog Changed: `Bundle::get_components` now takes a `FnMut(StorageType, OwningPtr)`.

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Generalised ECS reactivity with Observers (#10839) # Objective - Provide an expressive way to register dynamic behavior in response to ECS changes that is consistent with existing bevy types and traits as to provide a smooth user experience. - Provide a mechanism for immediate changes in response to events during command application in order to facilitate improved query caching on the path to relations. ## Solution - A new fundamental ECS construct, the `Observer`; inspired by flec's observers but adapted to better fit bevy's access patterns and rust's type system. --- ## Examples There are 3 main ways to register observers. The first is a "component observer" that looks like this: ```rust world.observe(|trigger: Trigger<OnAdd, Transform>, query: Query<&Transform>| { let transform = query.get(trigger.entity()).unwrap(); }); ``` The above code will spawn a new entity representing the observer that will run it's callback whenever the `Transform` component is added to an entity. This is a system-like function that supports dependency injection for all the standard bevy types: `Query`, `Res`, `Commands` etc. It also has a `Trigger` parameter that provides information about the trigger such as the target entity, and the event being triggered. Importantly these systems run during command application which is key for their future use to keep ECS internals up to date. There are similar events for `OnInsert` and `OnRemove`, and this will be expanded with things such as `ArchetypeCreated`, `TableEmpty` etc. in follow up PRs. Another way to register an observer is an "entity observer" that looks like this: ```rust world.entity_mut(entity).observe(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>| { // ... }); ``` Entity observers run whenever an event of their type is triggered targeting that specific entity. This type of observer will de-spawn itself if the entity (or entities) it is observing is ever de-spawned so as to not leave dangling observers. Entity observers can also be spawned from deferred contexts such as other observers, systems, or hooks using commands: ```rust commands.entity(entity).observe(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>| { // ... }); ``` Observers are not limited to in built event types, they can be used with any type that implements `Event` (which has been extended to implement Component). This means events can also carry data: ```rust #[derive(Event)] struct Resize { x: u32, y: u32 } commands.entity(entity).observe(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>, query: Query<&mut Size>| { let event = trigger.event(); // ... }); // Will trigger the observer when commands are applied. commands.trigger_targets(Resize { x: 10, y: 10 }, entity); ``` You can also trigger events that target more than one entity at a time: ```rust commands.trigger_targets(Resize { x: 10, y: 10 }, [e1, e2]); ``` Additionally, Observers don't _need_ entity targets: ```rust app.observe(|trigger: Trigger<Quit>| { }) commands.trigger(Quit); ``` In these cases, `trigger.entity()` will be a placeholder. Observers are actually just normal entities with an `ObserverState` and `Observer` component! The `observe()` functions above are just shorthand for: ```rust world.spawn(Observer::new(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>| {}); ``` This will spawn the `Observer` system and use an `on_add` hook to add the `ObserverState` component. Dynamic components and trigger types are also fully supported allowing for runtime defined trigger types. ## Possible Follow-ups 1. Deprecate `RemovedComponents`, observers should fulfill all use cases while being more flexible and performant. 2. Queries as entities: Swap queries to entities and begin using observers listening to archetype creation triggers to keep their caches in sync, this allows unification of `ObserverState` and `QueryState` as well as unlocking several API improvements for `Query` and the management of `QueryState`. 3. Trigger bubbling: For some UI use cases in particular users are likely to want some form of bubbling for entity observers, this is trivial to implement naively but ideally this includes an acceleration structure to cache hierarchy traversals. 4. All kinds of other in-built trigger types. 5. Optimization; in order to not bloat the complexity of the PR I have kept the implementation straightforward, there are several areas where performance can be improved. The focus for this PR is to get the behavior implemented and not incur a performance cost for users who don't use observers. I am leaving each of these to follow up PR's in order to keep each of them reviewable as this already includes significant changes. --------- Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecile@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: MiniaczQ <xnetroidpl@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Carter Anderson <mcanders1@gmail.com>

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Remove unnecessary branching from bundle insertion (#6902) # Objective Speed up bundle insertion and spawning from a bundle. ## Solution Use the same technique used in #6800 to remove the branch on storage type when writing components from a `Bundle` into storage. - Add a `StorageType` argument to the closure on `Bundle::get_components`. - Pass `C::Storage::STORAGE_TYPE` into that argument. - Match on that argument instead of reading from a `Vec<StorageType>` in `BundleInfo`. - Marked all implementations of `Bundle::get_components` as inline to encourage dead code elimination. The `Vec<StorageType>` in `BundleInfo` was also removed as it's no longer needed. If users were reliant on this, they can either use the compile time constants or fetch the information from `Components`. Should save a rather negligible amount of memory. ## Performance Microbenchmarks show a slight improvement to inserting components into existing entities, as well as spawning from a bundle. Ranging about 8-16% faster depending on the benchmark. ``` group main soft-constant-write-components ----- ---- ------------------------------ add_remove/sparse_set 1.08 1019.0±80.10µs ? ?/sec 1.00 944.6±66.86µs ? ?/sec add_remove/table 1.07 1343.3±20.37µs ? ?/sec 1.00 1257.3±18.13µs ? ?/sec add_remove_big/sparse_set 1.08 1132.4±263.10µs ? ?/sec 1.00 1050.8±240.74µs ? ?/sec add_remove_big/table 1.02 2.6±0.05ms ? ?/sec 1.00 2.5±0.08ms ? ?/sec get_or_spawn/batched 1.15 401.4±17.76µs ? ?/sec 1.00 349.3±11.26µs ? ?/sec get_or_spawn/individual 1.13 732.1±43.35µs ? ?/sec 1.00 645.6±41.44µs ? ?/sec insert_commands/insert 1.12 623.9±37.48µs ? ?/sec 1.00 557.4±34.99µs ? ?/sec insert_commands/insert_batch 1.16 401.4±17.00µs ? ?/sec 1.00 347.4±12.87µs ? ?/sec insert_simple/base 1.08 416.9±5.60µs ? ?/sec 1.00 385.2±4.14µs ? ?/sec insert_simple/unbatched 1.06 934.5±44.58µs ? ?/sec 1.00 881.3±47.86µs ? ?/sec spawn_commands/2000_entities 1.09 190.7±11.41µs ? ?/sec 1.00 174.7±9.15µs ? ?/sec spawn_commands/4000_entities 1.10 386.5±25.33µs ? ?/sec 1.00 352.3±18.81µs ? ?/sec spawn_commands/6000_entities 1.10 586.2±34.42µs ? ?/sec 1.00 535.3±27.25µs ? ?/sec spawn_commands/8000_entities 1.08 778.5±45.15µs ? ?/sec 1.00 718.0±33.66µs ? ?/sec spawn_world/10000_entities 1.04 1026.4±195.46µs ? ?/sec 1.00 985.8±253.37µs ? ?/sec spawn_world/1000_entities 1.06 103.8±20.23µs ? ?/sec 1.00 97.6±18.22µs ? ?/sec spawn_world/100_entities 1.15 11.4±4.25µs ? ?/sec 1.00 9.9±1.87µs ? ?/sec spawn_world/10_entities 1.05 1030.8±229.78ns ? ?/sec 1.00 986.2±231.12ns ? ?/sec spawn_world/1_entities 1.01 105.1±23.33ns ? ?/sec 1.00 104.6±31.84ns ? ?/sec ``` --- ## Changelog Changed: `Bundle::get_components` now takes a `FnMut(StorageType, OwningPtr)`.

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

add more `SAFETY` comments and lint for missing ones in `bevy_ecs` (#4835) # Objective `SAFETY` comments are meant to be placed before `unsafe` blocks and should contain the reasoning of why in this case the usage of unsafe is okay. This is useful when reading the code because it makes it clear which assumptions are required for safety, and makes it easier to spot possible unsoundness holes. It also forces the code writer to think of something to write and maybe look at the safety contracts of any called unsafe methods again to double-check their correct usage. There's a clippy lint called `undocumented_unsafe_blocks` which warns when using a block without such a comment. ## Solution - since clippy expects `SAFETY` instead of `SAFE`, rename those - add `SAFETY` comments in more places - for the last remaining 3 places, add an `#[allow()]` and `// TODO` since I wasn't comfortable enough with the code to justify their safety - add ` #![warn(clippy::undocumented_unsafe_blocks)]` to `bevy_ecs` ### Note for reviewers The first commit only renames `SAFETY` to `SAFE` so it doesn't need a thorough review. https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4835/files/cb042a416ecbe5e7d74797449969e064d8a5f13c..55cef2d6fa3aa634667a60f6d5abc16f43f16298 is the diff for all other changes. ### Safety comments where I'm not too familiar with the code https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/774012ece50e4add4fcc8324ec48bbecf5546c3c/crates/bevy_ecs/src/entity/mod.rs#L540-L546 https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/774012ece50e4add4fcc8324ec48bbecf5546c3c/crates/bevy_ecs/src/world/entity_ref.rs#L249-L252 ### Locations left undocumented with a `TODO` comment https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/5dde944a3051426ac69fdedc5699f7da97a7e147/crates/bevy_ecs/src/schedule/executor_parallel.rs#L196-L199 https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/5dde944a3051426ac69fdedc5699f7da97a7e147/crates/bevy_ecs/src/world/entity_ref.rs#L287-L289 https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/5dde944a3051426ac69fdedc5699f7da97a7e147/crates/bevy_ecs/src/world/entity_ref.rs#L413-L415 Co-authored-by: Jakob Hellermann <hellermann@sipgate.de>

System Param Lifetime Split (#2605) # Objective Enable using exact World lifetimes during read-only access . This is motivated by the new renderer's need to allow read-only world-only queries to outlive the query itself (but still be constrained by the world lifetime). For example: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/115b170d1f11a91146bb6d6e9684dceb8b21f786/pipelined/bevy_pbr2/src/render/mod.rs#L774 ## Solution Split out SystemParam state and world lifetimes and pipe those lifetimes up to read-only Query ops (and add into_inner for Res). According to every safety test I've run so far (except one), this is safe (see the temporary safety test commit). Note that changing the mutable variants to the new lifetimes would allow aliased mutable pointers (try doing that to see how it affects the temporary safety tests). The new state lifetime on SystemParam does make `#[derive(SystemParam)]` more cumbersome (the current impl requires PhantomData if you don't use both lifetimes). We can make this better by detecting whether or not a lifetime is used in the derive and adjusting accordingly, but that should probably be done in its own pr. ## Why is this a draft? The new lifetimes break QuerySet safety in one very specific case (see the query_set system in system_safety_test). We need to solve this before we can use the lifetimes given. This is due to the fact that QuerySet is just a wrapper over Query, which now relies on world lifetimes instead of `&self` lifetimes to prevent aliasing (but in systems, each Query has its own implied lifetime, not a centralized world lifetime). I believe the fix is to rewrite QuerySet to have its own World lifetime (and own the internal reference). This will complicate the impl a bit, but I think it is doable. I'm curious if anyone else has better ideas. Personally, I think these new lifetimes need to happen. We've gotta have a way to directly tie read-only World queries to the World lifetime. The new renderer is the first place this has come up, but I doubt it will be the last. Worst case scenario we can come up with a second `WorldLifetimeQuery<Q, F = ()>` parameter to enable these read-only scenarios, but I'd rather not add another type to the type zoo.

I initially pitched this as `ParamState`, but given that it needs to include full system metadata, that doesn't feel like a particularly accurate name. ```rust #[derive(Eq, PartialEq, Debug)] struct A(usize); #[derive(Eq, PartialEq, Debug)] struct B(usize); let mut world = World::default(); world.insert_resource(A(42)); world.spawn().insert(B(7)); // we get nice lifetime elision when declaring the type on the left hand side let mut system_state: SystemState<(Res<A>, Query<&B>)> = SystemState::new(&mut world); let (a, query) = system_state.get(&world); assert_eq!(*a, A(42), "returned resource matches initial value"); assert_eq!( *query.single().unwrap(), B(7), "returned component matches initial value" ); // mutable system params require unique world access let mut system_state: SystemState<(ResMut<A>, Query<&mut B>)> = SystemState::new(&mut world); let (a, query) = system_state.get_mut(&mut world); // static lifetimes are required when declaring inside of structs struct SomeContainer { state: SystemState<(Res<'static, A>, Res<'static, B>)> } // this can be shortened using type aliases, which will be useful for complex param tuples type MyParams<'a> = (Res<'a, A>, Res<'a, B>); struct SomeContainer { state: SystemState<MyParams<'static>> } // It is the user's responsibility to call SystemState::apply(world) for parameters that queue up work let mut system_state: SystemState<(Commands, Query<&B>)> = SystemState::new(&mut world); { let (mut commands, query) = system_state.get(&world); commands.insert_resource(3.14); } system_state.apply(&mut world); ``` ## Future Work * Actually use SystemState inside FunctionSystem. This would be trivial, but it requires FunctionSystem to wrap SystemState in Option in its current form (which complicates system metadata lookup). I'd prefer to hold off until we adopt something like the later designs linked in #1364, which enable us to contruct Systems using a World reference (and also remove the need for `.system`). * Consider a "scoped" approach to automatically call SystemState::apply when systems params are no longer being used (either a container type with a Drop impl, or a function that takes a closure for user logic operating on params).

add more `SAFETY` comments and lint for missing ones in `bevy_ecs` (#4835) # Objective `SAFETY` comments are meant to be placed before `unsafe` blocks and should contain the reasoning of why in this case the usage of unsafe is okay. This is useful when reading the code because it makes it clear which assumptions are required for safety, and makes it easier to spot possible unsoundness holes. It also forces the code writer to think of something to write and maybe look at the safety contracts of any called unsafe methods again to double-check their correct usage. There's a clippy lint called `undocumented_unsafe_blocks` which warns when using a block without such a comment. ## Solution - since clippy expects `SAFETY` instead of `SAFE`, rename those - add `SAFETY` comments in more places - for the last remaining 3 places, add an `#[allow()]` and `// TODO` since I wasn't comfortable enough with the code to justify their safety - add ` #![warn(clippy::undocumented_unsafe_blocks)]` to `bevy_ecs` ### Note for reviewers The first commit only renames `SAFETY` to `SAFE` so it doesn't need a thorough review. https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4835/files/cb042a416ecbe5e7d74797449969e064d8a5f13c..55cef2d6fa3aa634667a60f6d5abc16f43f16298 is the diff for all other changes. ### Safety comments where I'm not too familiar with the code https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/774012ece50e4add4fcc8324ec48bbecf5546c3c/crates/bevy_ecs/src/entity/mod.rs#L540-L546 https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/774012ece50e4add4fcc8324ec48bbecf5546c3c/crates/bevy_ecs/src/world/entity_ref.rs#L249-L252 ### Locations left undocumented with a `TODO` comment https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/5dde944a3051426ac69fdedc5699f7da97a7e147/crates/bevy_ecs/src/schedule/executor_parallel.rs#L196-L199 https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/5dde944a3051426ac69fdedc5699f7da97a7e147/crates/bevy_ecs/src/world/entity_ref.rs#L287-L289 https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/5dde944a3051426ac69fdedc5699f7da97a7e147/crates/bevy_ecs/src/world/entity_ref.rs#L413-L415 Co-authored-by: Jakob Hellermann <hellermann@sipgate.de>

// SAFETY: Relevant parameter ComponentId and ArchetypeComponentId access is applied to SystemMeta. If any ParamState conflicts
Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component.

Remove the `SystemParamState` trait and remove types like `ResState` (#6919) Spiritual successor to #5205. Actual successor to #6865. # Objective Currently, system params are defined using three traits: `SystemParam`, `ReadOnlySystemParam`, `SystemParamState`. The behavior for each param is specified by the `SystemParamState` trait, while `SystemParam` simply defers to the state. Splitting the traits in this way makes it easier to implement within macros, but it increases the cognitive load. Worst of all, this approach requires each `MySystemParam` to have a public `MySystemParamState` type associated with it. ## Solution * Merge the trait `SystemParamState` into `SystemParam`. * Remove all trivial `SystemParam` state types. * `OptionNonSendMutState<T>`: you will not be missed. --- - [x] Fix/resolve the remaining test failure. ## Changelog * Removed the trait `SystemParamState`, merging its functionality into `SystemParam`. ## Migration Guide **Note**: this should replace the migration guide for #6865. This is relative to Bevy 0.9, not main. The traits `SystemParamState` and `SystemParamFetch` have been removed, and their functionality has been transferred to `SystemParam`. ```rust // Before (0.9) impl SystemParam for MyParam<'_, '_> { type State = MyParamState; } unsafe impl SystemParamState for MyParamState { fn init(world: &mut World, system_meta: &mut SystemMeta) -> Self { ... } } unsafe impl<'w, 's> SystemParamFetch<'w, 's> for MyParamState { type Item = MyParam<'w, 's>; fn get_param(&mut self, ...) -> Self::Item; } unsafe impl ReadOnlySystemParamFetch for MyParamState { } // After (0.10) unsafe impl SystemParam for MyParam<'_, '_> { type State = MyParamState; type Item<'w, 's> = MyParam<'w, 's>; fn init_state(world: &mut World, system_meta: &mut SystemMeta) -> Self::State { ... } fn get_param<'w, 's>(state: &mut Self::State, ...) -> Self::Item<'w, 's>; } unsafe impl ReadOnlySystemParam for MyParam<'_, '_> { } ``` The trait `ReadOnlySystemParamFetch` has been replaced with `ReadOnlySystemParam`. ```rust // Before unsafe impl ReadOnlySystemParamFetch for MyParamState {} // After unsafe impl ReadOnlySystemParam for MyParam<'_, '_> {} ```

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over).

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess.

#(
Add new SystemState and rename old SystemState to SystemMeta (#2283) This enables `SystemParams` to be used outside of function systems. Anything can create and store `SystemState`, which enables efficient "param state cached" access to `SystemParams`. It adds a `ReadOnlySystemParamFetch` trait, which enables safe `SystemState::get` calls without unique world access. I renamed the old `SystemState` to `SystemMeta` to enable us to mirror the `QueryState` naming convention (but I'm happy to discuss alternative names if people have other ideas). I initially pitched this as `ParamState`, but given that it needs to include full system metadata, that doesn't feel like a particularly accurate name. ```rust #[derive(Eq, PartialEq, Debug)] struct A(usize); #[derive(Eq, PartialEq, Debug)] struct B(usize); let mut world = World::default(); world.insert_resource(A(42)); world.spawn().insert(B(7)); // we get nice lifetime elision when declaring the type on the left hand side let mut system_state: SystemState<(Res<A>, Query<&B>)> = SystemState::new(&mut world); let (a, query) = system_state.get(&world); assert_eq!(*a, A(42), "returned resource matches initial value"); assert_eq!( *query.single().unwrap(), B(7), "returned component matches initial value" ); // mutable system params require unique world access let mut system_state: SystemState<(ResMut<A>, Query<&mut B>)> = SystemState::new(&mut world); let (a, query) = system_state.get_mut(&mut world); // static lifetimes are required when declaring inside of structs struct SomeContainer { state: SystemState<(Res<'static, A>, Res<'static, B>)> } // this can be shortened using type aliases, which will be useful for complex param tuples type MyParams<'a> = (Res<'a, A>, Res<'a, B>); struct SomeContainer { state: SystemState<MyParams<'static>> } // It is the user's responsibility to call SystemState::apply(world) for parameters that queue up work let mut system_state: SystemState<(Commands, Query<&B>)> = SystemState::new(&mut world); { let (mut commands, query) = system_state.get(&world); commands.insert_resource(3.14); } system_state.apply(&mut world); ``` ## Future Work * Actually use SystemState inside FunctionSystem. This would be trivial, but it requires FunctionSystem to wrap SystemState in Option in its current form (which complicates system metadata lookup). I'd prefer to hold off until we adopt something like the later designs linked in #1364, which enable us to contruct Systems using a World reference (and also remove the need for `.system`). * Consider a "scoped" approach to automatically call SystemState::apply when systems params are no longer being used (either a container type with a Drop impl, or a function that takes a closure for user logic operating on params).

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Add new SystemState and rename old SystemState to SystemMeta (#2283) This enables `SystemParams` to be used outside of function systems. Anything can create and store `SystemState`, which enables efficient "param state cached" access to `SystemParams`. It adds a `ReadOnlySystemParamFetch` trait, which enables safe `SystemState::get` calls without unique world access. I renamed the old `SystemState` to `SystemMeta` to enable us to mirror the `QueryState` naming convention (but I'm happy to discuss alternative names if people have other ideas). I initially pitched this as `ParamState`, but given that it needs to include full system metadata, that doesn't feel like a particularly accurate name. ```rust #[derive(Eq, PartialEq, Debug)] struct A(usize); #[derive(Eq, PartialEq, Debug)] struct B(usize); let mut world = World::default(); world.insert_resource(A(42)); world.spawn().insert(B(7)); // we get nice lifetime elision when declaring the type on the left hand side let mut system_state: SystemState<(Res<A>, Query<&B>)> = SystemState::new(&mut world); let (a, query) = system_state.get(&world); assert_eq!(*a, A(42), "returned resource matches initial value"); assert_eq!( *query.single().unwrap(), B(7), "returned component matches initial value" ); // mutable system params require unique world access let mut system_state: SystemState<(ResMut<A>, Query<&mut B>)> = SystemState::new(&mut world); let (a, query) = system_state.get_mut(&mut world); // static lifetimes are required when declaring inside of structs struct SomeContainer { state: SystemState<(Res<'static, A>, Res<'static, B>)> } // this can be shortened using type aliases, which will be useful for complex param tuples type MyParams<'a> = (Res<'a, A>, Res<'a, B>); struct SomeContainer { state: SystemState<MyParams<'static>> } // It is the user's responsibility to call SystemState::apply(world) for parameters that queue up work let mut system_state: SystemState<(Commands, Query<&B>)> = SystemState::new(&mut world); { let (mut commands, query) = system_state.get(&world); commands.insert_resource(3.14); } system_state.apply(&mut world); ``` ## Future Work * Actually use SystemState inside FunctionSystem. This would be trivial, but it requires FunctionSystem to wrap SystemState in Option in its current form (which complicates system metadata lookup). I'd prefer to hold off until we adopt something like the later designs linked in #1364, which enable us to contruct Systems using a World reference (and also remove the need for `.system`). * Consider a "scoped" approach to automatically call SystemState::apply when systems params are no longer being used (either a container type with a Drop impl, or a function that takes a closure for user logic operating on params).

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess.

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Add new SystemState and rename old SystemState to SystemMeta (#2283) This enables `SystemParams` to be used outside of function systems. Anything can create and store `SystemState`, which enables efficient "param state cached" access to `SystemParams`. It adds a `ReadOnlySystemParamFetch` trait, which enables safe `SystemState::get` calls without unique world access. I renamed the old `SystemState` to `SystemMeta` to enable us to mirror the `QueryState` naming convention (but I'm happy to discuss alternative names if people have other ideas). I initially pitched this as `ParamState`, but given that it needs to include full system metadata, that doesn't feel like a particularly accurate name. ```rust #[derive(Eq, PartialEq, Debug)] struct A(usize); #[derive(Eq, PartialEq, Debug)] struct B(usize); let mut world = World::default(); world.insert_resource(A(42)); world.spawn().insert(B(7)); // we get nice lifetime elision when declaring the type on the left hand side let mut system_state: SystemState<(Res<A>, Query<&B>)> = SystemState::new(&mut world); let (a, query) = system_state.get(&world); assert_eq!(*a, A(42), "returned resource matches initial value"); assert_eq!( *query.single().unwrap(), B(7), "returned component matches initial value" ); // mutable system params require unique world access let mut system_state: SystemState<(ResMut<A>, Query<&mut B>)> = SystemState::new(&mut world); let (a, query) = system_state.get_mut(&mut world); // static lifetimes are required when declaring inside of structs struct SomeContainer { state: SystemState<(Res<'static, A>, Res<'static, B>)> } // this can be shortened using type aliases, which will be useful for complex param tuples type MyParams<'a> = (Res<'a, A>, Res<'a, B>); struct SomeContainer { state: SystemState<MyParams<'static>> } // It is the user's responsibility to call SystemState::apply(world) for parameters that queue up work let mut system_state: SystemState<(Commands, Query<&B>)> = SystemState::new(&mut world); { let (mut commands, query) = system_state.get(&world); commands.insert_resource(3.14); } system_state.apply(&mut world); ``` ## Future Work * Actually use SystemState inside FunctionSystem. This would be trivial, but it requires FunctionSystem to wrap SystemState in Option in its current form (which complicates system metadata lookup). I'd prefer to hold off until we adopt something like the later designs linked in #1364, which enable us to contruct Systems using a World reference (and also remove the need for `.system`). * Consider a "scoped" approach to automatically call SystemState::apply when systems params are no longer being used (either a container type with a Drop impl, or a function that takes a closure for user logic operating on params).

System Param Lifetime Split (#2605) # Objective Enable using exact World lifetimes during read-only access . This is motivated by the new renderer's need to allow read-only world-only queries to outlive the query itself (but still be constrained by the world lifetime). For example: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/115b170d1f11a91146bb6d6e9684dceb8b21f786/pipelined/bevy_pbr2/src/render/mod.rs#L774 ## Solution Split out SystemParam state and world lifetimes and pipe those lifetimes up to read-only Query ops (and add into_inner for Res). According to every safety test I've run so far (except one), this is safe (see the temporary safety test commit). Note that changing the mutable variants to the new lifetimes would allow aliased mutable pointers (try doing that to see how it affects the temporary safety tests). The new state lifetime on SystemParam does make `#[derive(SystemParam)]` more cumbersome (the current impl requires PhantomData if you don't use both lifetimes). We can make this better by detecting whether or not a lifetime is used in the derive and adjusting accordingly, but that should probably be done in its own pr. ## Why is this a draft? The new lifetimes break QuerySet safety in one very specific case (see the query_set system in system_safety_test). We need to solve this before we can use the lifetimes given. This is due to the fact that QuerySet is just a wrapper over Query, which now relies on world lifetimes instead of `&self` lifetimes to prevent aliasing (but in systems, each Query has its own implied lifetime, not a centralized world lifetime). I believe the fix is to rewrite QuerySet to have its own World lifetime (and own the internal reference). This will complicate the impl a bit, but I think it is doable. I'm curious if anyone else has better ideas. Personally, I think these new lifetimes need to happen. We've gotta have a way to directly tie read-only World queries to the World lifetime. The new renderer is the first place this has come up, but I doubt it will be the last. Worst case scenario we can come up with a second `WorldLifetimeQuery<Q, F = ()>` parameter to enable these read-only scenarios, but I'd rather not add another type to the type zoo.

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Remove `#[system_param(ignore)]` and `#[world_query(ignore)]` (#8265) # Objective Follow-up to #8030. Now that `SystemParam` and `WorldQuery` are implemented for `PhantomData`, the `ignore` attributes are now unnecessary. --- ## Changelog - Removed the attributes `#[system_param(ignore)]` and `#[world_query(ignore)]`. ## Migration Guide The attributes `#[system_param(ignore)]` and `#[world_query]` ignore have been removed. If you were using either of these with `PhantomData` fields, you can simply remove the attribute: ```rust #[derive(SystemParam)] struct MyParam<'w, 's, Marker> { ... // Before: #[system_param(ignore) _marker: PhantomData<Marker>, // After: _marker: PhantomData<Marker>, } #[derive(WorldQuery)] struct MyQuery<Marker> { ... // Before: #[world_query(ignore) _marker: PhantomData<Marker>, // After: _marker: PhantomData<Marker>, } ``` If you were using this for another type that implements `Default`, consider wrapping that type in `Local<>` (this only works for `SystemParam`): ```rust #[derive(SystemParam)] struct MyParam<'w, 's> { // Before: #[system_param(ignore)] value: MyDefaultType, // This will be initialized using `Default` each time `MyParam` is created. // After: value: Local<MyDefaultType>, // This will be initialized using `Default` the first time `MyParam` is created. } ``` If you are implementing either trait and need to preserve the exact behavior of the old `ignore` attributes, consider manually implementing `SystemParam` or `WorldQuery` for a wrapper struct that uses the `Default` trait: ```rust // Before: #[derive(WorldQuery) struct MyQuery { #[world_query(ignore)] str: String, } // After: #[derive(WorldQuery) struct MyQuery { str: DefaultQuery<String>, } pub struct DefaultQuery<T: Default>(pub T); unsafe impl<T: Default> WorldQuery for DefaultQuery<T> { type Item<'w> = Self; ... unsafe fn fetch<'w>(...) -> Self::Item<'w> { Self(T::default()) } } ```

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Remove the `SystemParamState` trait and remove types like `ResState` (#6919) Spiritual successor to #5205. Actual successor to #6865. # Objective Currently, system params are defined using three traits: `SystemParam`, `ReadOnlySystemParam`, `SystemParamState`. The behavior for each param is specified by the `SystemParamState` trait, while `SystemParam` simply defers to the state. Splitting the traits in this way makes it easier to implement within macros, but it increases the cognitive load. Worst of all, this approach requires each `MySystemParam` to have a public `MySystemParamState` type associated with it. ## Solution * Merge the trait `SystemParamState` into `SystemParam`. * Remove all trivial `SystemParam` state types. * `OptionNonSendMutState<T>`: you will not be missed. --- - [x] Fix/resolve the remaining test failure. ## Changelog * Removed the trait `SystemParamState`, merging its functionality into `SystemParam`. ## Migration Guide **Note**: this should replace the migration guide for #6865.

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Remove the `SystemParamState` trait and remove types like `ResState` (#6919) Spiritual successor to #5205. Actual successor to #6865. # Objective Currently, system params are defined using three traits: `SystemParam`, `ReadOnlySystemParam`, `SystemParamState`. The behavior for each param is specified by the `SystemParamState` trait, while `SystemParam` simply defers to the state. Splitting the traits in this way makes it easier to implement within macros, but it increases the cognitive load. Worst of all, this approach requires each `MySystemParam` to have a public `MySystemParamState` type associated with it. ## Solution * Merge the trait `SystemParamState` into `SystemParam`. * Remove all trivial `SystemParam` state types. * `OptionNonSendMutState<T>`: you will not be missed. --- - [x] Fix/resolve the remaining test failure. ## Changelog * Removed the trait `SystemParamState`, merging its functionality into `SystemParam`. ## Migration Guide **Note**: this should replace the migration guide for #6865. This is relative to Bevy 0.9, not main. The traits `SystemParamState` and `SystemParamFetch` have been removed, and their functionality has been transferred to `SystemParam`. ```rust // Before (0.9) impl SystemParam for MyParam<'_, '_> { type State = MyParamState; } unsafe impl SystemParamState for MyParamState { fn init(world: &mut World, system_meta: &mut SystemMeta) -> Self { ... } } unsafe impl<'w, 's> SystemParamFetch<'w, 's> for MyParamState { type Item = MyParam<'w, 's>; fn get_param(&mut self, ...) -> Self::Item; } unsafe impl ReadOnlySystemParamFetch for MyParamState { } // After (0.10) unsafe impl SystemParam for MyParam<'_, '_> { type State = MyParamState; type Item<'w, 's> = MyParam<'w, 's>; fn init_state(world: &mut World, system_meta: &mut SystemMeta) -> Self::State { ... } fn get_param<'w, 's>(state: &mut Self::State, ...) -> Self::Item<'w, 's>; } unsafe impl ReadOnlySystemParam for MyParam<'_, '_> { } ``` The trait `ReadOnlySystemParamFetch` has been replaced with `ReadOnlySystemParam`. ```rust // Before unsafe impl ReadOnlySystemParamFetch for MyParamState {} // After unsafe impl ReadOnlySystemParam for MyParam<'_, '_> {} ```

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Generalised ECS reactivity with Observers (#10839) # Objective - Provide an expressive way to register dynamic behavior in response to ECS changes that is consistent with existing bevy types and traits as to provide a smooth user experience. - Provide a mechanism for immediate changes in response to events during command application in order to facilitate improved query caching on the path to relations. ## Solution - A new fundamental ECS construct, the `Observer`; inspired by flec's observers but adapted to better fit bevy's access patterns and rust's type system. --- ## Examples There are 3 main ways to register observers. The first is a "component observer" that looks like this: ```rust world.observe(|trigger: Trigger<OnAdd, Transform>, query: Query<&Transform>| { let transform = query.get(trigger.entity()).unwrap(); }); ``` The above code will spawn a new entity representing the observer that will run it's callback whenever the `Transform` component is added to an entity. This is a system-like function that supports dependency injection for all the standard bevy types: `Query`, `Res`, `Commands` etc. It also has a `Trigger` parameter that provides information about the trigger such as the target entity, and the event being triggered. Importantly these systems run during command application which is key for their future use to keep ECS internals up to date. There are similar events for `OnInsert` and `OnRemove`, and this will be expanded with things such as `ArchetypeCreated`, `TableEmpty` etc. in follow up PRs. Another way to register an observer is an "entity observer" that looks like this: ```rust world.entity_mut(entity).observe(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>| { // ... }); ``` Entity observers run whenever an event of their type is triggered targeting that specific entity. This type of observer will de-spawn itself if the entity (or entities) it is observing is ever de-spawned so as to not leave dangling observers. Entity observers can also be spawned from deferred contexts such as other observers, systems, or hooks using commands: ```rust commands.entity(entity).observe(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>| { // ... }); ``` Observers are not limited to in built event types, they can be used with any type that implements `Event` (which has been extended to implement Component). This means events can also carry data: ```rust #[derive(Event)] struct Resize { x: u32, y: u32 } commands.entity(entity).observe(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>, query: Query<&mut Size>| { let event = trigger.event(); // ... }); // Will trigger the observer when commands are applied. commands.trigger_targets(Resize { x: 10, y: 10 }, entity); ``` You can also trigger events that target more than one entity at a time: ```rust commands.trigger_targets(Resize { x: 10, y: 10 }, [e1, e2]); ``` Additionally, Observers don't _need_ entity targets: ```rust app.observe(|trigger: Trigger<Quit>| { }) commands.trigger(Quit); ``` In these cases, `trigger.entity()` will be a placeholder. Observers are actually just normal entities with an `ObserverState` and `Observer` component! The `observe()` functions above are just shorthand for: ```rust world.spawn(Observer::new(|trigger: Trigger<Resize>| {}); ``` This will spawn the `Observer` system and use an `on_add` hook to add the `ObserverState` component. Dynamic components and trigger types are also fully supported allowing for runtime defined trigger types. ## Possible Follow-ups 1. Deprecate `RemovedComponents`, observers should fulfill all use cases while being more flexible and performant. 2. Queries as entities: Swap queries to entities and begin using observers listening to archetype creation triggers to keep their caches in sync, this allows unification of `ObserverState` and `QueryState` as well as unlocking several API improvements for `Query` and the management of `QueryState`. 3. Trigger bubbling: For some UI use cases in particular users are likely to want some form of bubbling for entity observers, this is trivial to implement naively but ideally this includes an acceleration structure to cache hierarchy traversals. 4. All kinds of other in-built trigger types. 5. Optimization; in order to not bloat the complexity of the PR I have kept the implementation straightforward, there are several areas where performance can be improved. The focus for this PR is to get the behavior implemented and not incur a performance cost for users who don't use observers. I am leaving each of these to follow up PR's in order to keep each of them reviewable as this already includes significant changes. --------- Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecile@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: MiniaczQ <xnetroidpl@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Carter Anderson <mcanders1@gmail.com>

Remove the `SystemParamState` trait and remove types like `ResState` (#6919) Spiritual successor to #5205. Actual successor to #6865. # Objective Currently, system params are defined using three traits: `SystemParam`, `ReadOnlySystemParam`, `SystemParamState`. The behavior for each param is specified by the `SystemParamState` trait, while `SystemParam` simply defers to the state. Splitting the traits in this way makes it easier to implement within macros, but it increases the cognitive load. Worst of all, this approach requires each `MySystemParam` to have a public `MySystemParamState` type associated with it. ## Solution * Merge the trait `SystemParamState` into `SystemParam`. * Remove all trivial `SystemParam` state types. * `OptionNonSendMutState<T>`: you will not be missed. --- - [x] Fix/resolve the remaining test failure. ## Changelog * Removed the trait `SystemParamState`, merging its functionality into `SystemParam`. ## Migration Guide **Note**: this should replace the migration guide for #6865. This is relative to Bevy 0.9, not main. The traits `SystemParamState` and `SystemParamFetch` have been removed, and their functionality has been transferred to `SystemParam`. ```rust // Before (0.9) impl SystemParam for MyParam<'_, '_> { type State = MyParamState; } unsafe impl SystemParamState for MyParamState { fn init(world: &mut World, system_meta: &mut SystemMeta) -> Self { ... } } unsafe impl<'w, 's> SystemParamFetch<'w, 's> for MyParamState { type Item = MyParam<'w, 's>; fn get_param(&mut self, ...) -> Self::Item; } unsafe impl ReadOnlySystemParamFetch for MyParamState { } // After (0.10) unsafe impl SystemParam for MyParam<'_, '_> { type State = MyParamState; type Item<'w, 's> = MyParam<'w, 's>; fn init_state(world: &mut World, system_meta: &mut SystemMeta) -> Self::State { ... } fn get_param<'w, 's>(state: &mut Self::State, ...) -> Self::Item<'w, 's>; } unsafe impl ReadOnlySystemParam for MyParam<'_, '_> { } ``` The trait `ReadOnlySystemParamFetch` has been replaced with `ReadOnlySystemParam`. ```rust // Before unsafe impl ReadOnlySystemParamFetch for MyParamState {} // After unsafe impl ReadOnlySystemParam for MyParam<'_, '_> {} ```

Bevy ECS V2 (#1525) # Bevy ECS V2 This is a rewrite of Bevy ECS (basically everything but the new executor/schedule, which are already awesome). The overall goal was to improve the performance and versatility of Bevy ECS. Here is a quick bulleted list of changes before we dive into the details: * Complete World rewrite * Multiple component storage types: * Tables: fast cache friendly iteration, slower add/removes (previously called Archetypes) * Sparse Sets: fast add/remove, slower iteration * Stateful Queries (caches query results for faster iteration. fragmented iteration is _fast_ now) * Stateful System Params (caches expensive operations. inspired by @DJMcNab's work in #1364) * Configurable System Params (users can set configuration when they construct their systems. once again inspired by @DJMcNab's work) * Archetypes are now "just metadata", component storage is separate * Archetype Graph (for faster archetype changes) * Component Metadata * Configure component storage type * Retrieve information about component size/type/name/layout/send-ness/etc * Components are uniquely identified by a densely packed ComponentId * TypeIds are now totally optional (which should make implementing scripting easier) * Super fast "for_each" query iterators * Merged Resources into World. Resources are now just a special type of component * EntityRef/EntityMut builder apis (more efficient and more ergonomic) * Fast bitset-backed `Access<T>` replaces old hashmap-based approach everywhere * Query conflicts are determined by component access instead of archetype component access (to avoid random failures at runtime) * With/Without are still taken into account for conflicts, so this should still be comfy to use * Much simpler `IntoSystem` impl * Significantly reduced the amount of hashing throughout the ecs in favor of Sparse Sets (indexed by densely packed ArchetypeId, ComponentId, BundleId, and TableId) * Safety Improvements * Entity reservation uses a normal world reference instead of unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmute lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" where relevant * More thorough safety docs * WorldCell * Exposes safe mutable access to multiple resources at a time in a World * Replaced "catch all" `System::update_archetypes(world: &World)` with `System::new_archetype(archetype: &Archetype)` * Simpler Bundle implementation * Replaced slow "remove_bundle_one_by_one" used as fallback for Commands::remove_bundle with fast "remove_bundle_intersection" * Removed `Mut<T>` query impl. it is better to only support one way: `&mut T` * Removed with() from `Flags<T>` in favor of `Option<Flags<T>>`, which allows querying for flags to be "filtered" by default * Components now have is_send property (currently only resources support non-send) * More granular module organization * New `RemovedComponents<T>` SystemParam that replaces `query.removed::<T>()` * `world.resource_scope()` for mutable access to resources and world at the same time * WorldQuery and QueryFilter traits unified. FilterFetch trait added to enable "short circuit" filtering. Auto impled for cases that don't need it * Significantly slimmed down SystemState in favor of individual SystemParam state * System Commands changed from `commands: &mut Commands` back to `mut commands: Commands` (to allow Commands to have a World reference) Fixes #1320 ## `World` Rewrite This is a from-scratch rewrite of `World` that fills the niche that `hecs` used to. Yes, this means Bevy ECS is no longer a "fork" of hecs. We're going out our own! (the only shared code between the projects is the entity id allocator, which is already basically ideal) A huge shout out to @SanderMertens (author of [flecs](https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)) for sharing some great ideas with me (specifically hybrid ecs storage and archetype graphs). He also helped advise on a number of implementation details. ## Component Storage (The Problem) Two ECS storage paradigms have gained a lot of traction over the years: * **Archetypal ECS**: * Stores components in "tables" with static schemas. Each "column" stores components of a given type. Each "row" is an entity. * Each "archetype" has its own table. Adding/removing an entity's component changes the archetype. * Enables super-fast Query iteration due to its cache-friendly data layout * Comes at the cost of more expensive add/remove operations for an Entity's components, because all components need to be copied to the new archetype's "table" * **Sparse Set ECS**: * Stores components of the same type in densely packed arrays, which are sparsely indexed by densely packed unsigned integers (Entity ids) * Query iteration is slower than Archetypal ECS because each entity's component could be at any position in the sparse set. This "random access" pattern isn't cache friendly. Additionally, there is an extra layer of indirection because you must first map the entity id to an index in the component array. * Adding/removing components is a cheap, constant time operation Bevy ECS V1, hecs, legion, flec, and Unity DOTS are all "archetypal ecs-es". I personally think "archetypal" storage is a good default for game engines. An entity's archetype doesn't need to change frequently in general, and it creates "fast by default" query iteration (which is a much more common operation). It is also "self optimizing". Users don't need to think about optimizing component layouts for iteration performance. It "just works" without any extra boilerplate. Shipyard and EnTT are "sparse set ecs-es". They employ "packing" as a way to work around the "suboptimal by default" iteration performance for specific sets of components. This helps, but I didn't think this was a good choice for a general purpose engine like Bevy because: 1. "packs" conflict with each other. If bevy decides to internally pack the Transform and GlobalTransform components, users are then blocked if they want to pack some custom component with Transform. 2. users need to take manual action to optimize Developers selecting an ECS framework are stuck with a hard choice. Select an "archetypal" framework with "fast iteration everywhere" but without the ability to cheaply add/remove components, or select a "sparse set" framework to cheaply add/remove components but with slower iteration performance. ## Hybrid Component Storage (The Solution) In Bevy ECS V2, we get to have our cake and eat it too. It now has _both_ of the component storage types above (and more can be added later if needed): * **Tables** (aka "archetypal" storage) * The default storage. If you don't configure anything, this is what you get * Fast iteration by default * Slower add/remove operations * **Sparse Sets** * Opt-in * Slower iteration * Faster add/remove operations These storage types complement each other perfectly. By default Query iteration is fast. If developers know that they want to add/remove a component at high frequencies, they can set the storage to "sparse set": ```rust world.register_component( ComponentDescriptor::new::<MyComponent>(StorageType::SparseSet) ).unwrap(); ``` ## Archetypes Archetypes are now "just metadata" ... they no longer store components directly. They do store: * The `ComponentId`s of each of the Archetype's components (and that component's storage type) * Archetypes are uniquely defined by their component layouts * For example: entities with "table" components `[A, B, C]` _and_ "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will always be in the same archetype. * The `TableId` associated with the archetype * For now each archetype has exactly one table (which can have no components), * There is a 1->Many relationship from Tables->Archetypes. A given table could have any number of archetype components stored in it: * Ex: an entity with "table storage" components `[A, B, C]` and "sparse set" components `[D, E]` will share the same `[A, B, C]` table as an entity with `[A, B, C]` table component and `[F]` sparse set components. * This 1->Many relationship is how we preserve fast "cache friendly" iteration performance when possible (more on this later) * A list of entities that are in the archetype and the row id of the table they are in * ArchetypeComponentIds * unique densely packed identifiers for (ArchetypeId, ComponentId) pairs * used by the schedule executor for cheap system access control * "Archetype Graph Edges" (see the next section) ## The "Archetype Graph" Archetype changes in Bevy (and a number of other archetypal ecs-es) have historically been expensive to compute. First, you need to allocate a new vector of the entity's current component ids, add or remove components based on the operation performed, sort it (to ensure it is order-independent), then hash it to find the archetype (if it exists). And thats all before we get to the _already_ expensive full copy of all components to the new table storage. The solution is to build a "graph" of archetypes to cache these results. @SanderMertens first exposed me to the idea (and he got it from @gjroelofs, who came up with it). They propose adding directed edges between archetypes for add/remove component operations. If `ComponentId`s are densely packed, you can use sparse sets to cheaply jump between archetypes. Bevy takes this one step further by using add/remove `Bundle` edges instead of `Component` edges. Bevy encourages the use of `Bundles` to group add/remove operations. This is largely for "clearer game logic" reasons, but it also helps cut down on the number of archetype changes required. `Bundles` now also have densely-packed `BundleId`s. This allows us to use a _single_ edge for each bundle operation (rather than needing to traverse N edges ... one for each component). Single component operations are also bundles, so this is strictly an improvement over a "component only" graph. As a result, an operation that used to be _heavy_ (both for allocations and compute) is now two dirt-cheap array lookups and zero allocations. ## Stateful Queries World queries are now stateful. This allows us to: 1. Cache archetype (and table) matches * This resolves another issue with (naive) archetypal ECS: query performance getting worse as the number of archetypes goes up (and fragmentation occurs). 2. Cache Fetch and Filter state * The expensive parts of fetch/filter operations (such as hashing the TypeId to find the ComponentId) now only happen once when the Query is first constructed 3. Incrementally build up state * When new archetypes are added, we only process the new archetypes (no need to rebuild state for old archetypes) As a result, the direct `World` query api now looks like this: ```rust let mut query = world.query::<(&A, &mut B)>(); for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut(&mut world) { } ``` Requiring `World` to generate stateful queries (rather than letting the `QueryState` type be constructed separately) allows us to ensure that _all_ queries are properly initialized (and the relevant world state, such as ComponentIds). This enables QueryState to remove branches from its operations that check for initialization status (and also enables query.iter() to take an immutable world reference because it doesn't need to initialize anything in world). However in systems, this is a non-breaking change. State management is done internally by the relevant SystemParam. ## Stateful SystemParams Like Queries, `SystemParams` now also cache state. For example, `Query` system params store the "stateful query" state mentioned above. Commands store their internal `CommandQueue`. This means you can now safely use as many separate `Commands` parameters in your system as you want. `Local<T>` system params store their `T` value in their state (instead of in Resources). SystemParam state also enabled a significant slim-down of SystemState. It is much nicer to look at now. Per-SystemParam state naturally insulates us from an "aliased mut" class of errors we have hit in the past (ex: using multiple `Commands` system params). (credit goes to @DJMcNab for the initial idea and draft pr here #1364) ## Configurable SystemParams @DJMcNab also had the great idea to make SystemParams configurable. This allows users to provide some initial configuration / values for system parameters (when possible). Most SystemParams have no config (the config type is `()`), but the `Local<T>` param now supports user-provided parameters: ```rust fn foo(value: Local<usize>) { } app.add_system(foo.system().config(|c| c.0 = Some(10))); ``` ## Uber Fast "for_each" Query Iterators Developers now have the choice to use a fast "for_each" iterator, which yields ~1.5-3x iteration speed improvements for "fragmented iteration", and minor ~1.2x iteration speed improvements for unfragmented iteration. ```rust fn system(query: Query<(&A, &mut B)>) { // you now have the option to do this for a speed boost query.for_each_mut(|(a, mut b)| { }); // however normal iterators are still available for (a, mut b) in query.iter_mut() { } } ``` I think in most cases we should continue to encourage "normal" iterators as they are more flexible and more "rust idiomatic". But when that extra "oomf" is needed, it makes sense to use `for_each`. We should also consider using `for_each` for internal bevy systems to give our users a nice speed boost (but that should be a separate pr). ## Component Metadata `World` now has a `Components` collection, which is accessible via `world.components()`. This stores mappings from `ComponentId` to `ComponentInfo`, as well as `TypeId` to `ComponentId` mappings (where relevant). `ComponentInfo` stores information about the component, such as ComponentId, TypeId, memory layout, send-ness (currently limited to resources), and storage type. ## Significantly Cheaper `Access<T>` We used to use `TypeAccess<TypeId>` to manage read/write component/archetype-component access. This was expensive because TypeIds must be hashed and compared individually. The parallel executor got around this by "condensing" type ids into bitset-backed access types. This worked, but it had to be re-generated from the `TypeAccess<TypeId>`sources every time archetypes changed. This pr removes TypeAccess in favor of faster bitset access everywhere. We can do this thanks to the move to densely packed `ComponentId`s and `ArchetypeComponentId`s. ## Merged Resources into World Resources had a lot of redundant functionality with Components. They stored typed data, they had access control, they had unique ids, they were queryable via SystemParams, etc. In fact the _only_ major difference between them was that they were unique (and didn't correlate to an entity). Separate resources also had the downside of requiring a separate set of access controls, which meant the parallel executor needed to compare more bitsets per system and manage more state. I initially got the "separate resources" idea from `legion`. I think that design was motivated by the fact that it made the direct world query/resource lifetime interactions more manageable. It certainly made our lives easier when using Resources alongside hecs/bevy_ecs. However we already have a construct for safely and ergonomically managing in-world lifetimes: systems (which use `Access<T>` internally). This pr merges Resources into World: ```rust world.insert_resource(1); world.insert_resource(2.0); let a = world.get_resource::<i32>().unwrap(); let mut b = world.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); *b = 3.0; ``` Resources are now just a special kind of component. They have their own ComponentIds (and their own resource TypeId->ComponentId scope, so they don't conflict wit components of the same type). They are stored in a special "resource archetype", which stores components inside the archetype using a new `unique_components` sparse set (note that this sparse set could later be used to implement Tags). This allows us to keep the code size small by reusing existing datastructures (namely Column, Archetype, ComponentFlags, and ComponentInfo). This allows us the executor to use a single `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` per system. It should also make scripting language integration easier. _But_ this merge did create problems for people directly interacting with `World`. What if you need mutable access to multiple resources at the same time? `world.get_resource_mut()` borrows World mutably! ## WorldCell WorldCell applies the `Access<ArchetypeComponentId>` concept to direct world access: ```rust let world_cell = world.cell(); let a = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<i32>().unwrap(); let b = world_cell.get_resource_mut::<f64>().unwrap(); ``` This adds cheap runtime checks (a sparse set lookup of `ArchetypeComponentId` and a counter) to ensure that world accesses do not conflict with each other. Each operation returns a `WorldBorrow<'w, T>` or `WorldBorrowMut<'w, T>` wrapper type, which will release the relevant ArchetypeComponentId resources when dropped. World caches the access sparse set (and only one cell can exist at a time), so `world.cell()` is a cheap operation. WorldCell does _not_ use atomic operations. It is non-send, does a mutable borrow of world to prevent other accesses, and uses a simple `Rc<RefCell<ArchetypeComponentAccess>>` wrapper in each WorldBorrow pointer. The api is currently limited to resource access, but it can and should be extended to queries / entity component access. ## Resource Scopes WorldCell does not yet support component queries, and even when it does there are sometimes legitimate reasons to want a mutable world ref _and_ a mutable resource ref (ex: bevy_render and bevy_scene both need this). In these cases we could always drop down to the unsafe `world.get_resource_unchecked_mut()`, but that is not ideal! Instead developers can use a "resource scope" ```rust world.resource_scope(|world: &mut World, a: &mut A| { }) ``` This temporarily removes the `A` resource from `World`, provides mutable pointers to both, and re-adds A to World when finished. Thanks to the move to ComponentIds/sparse sets, this is a cheap operation. If multiple resources are required, scopes can be nested. We could also consider adding a "resource tuple" to the api if this pattern becomes common and the boilerplate gets nasty. ## Query Conflicts Use ComponentId Instead of ArchetypeComponentId For safety reasons, systems cannot contain queries that conflict with each other without wrapping them in a QuerySet. On bevy `main`, we use ArchetypeComponentIds to determine conflicts. This is nice because it can take into account filters: ```rust // these queries will never conflict due to their filters fn filter_system(a: Query<&mut A, With<B>>, b: Query<&mut B, Without<B>>) { } ``` But it also has a significant downside: ```rust // these queries will not conflict _until_ an entity with A, B, and C is spawned fn maybe_conflicts_system(a: Query<(&mut A, &C)>, b: Query<(&mut A, &B)>) { } ``` The system above will panic at runtime if an entity with A, B, and C is spawned. This makes it hard to trust that your game logic will run without crashing. In this pr, I switched to using `ComponentId` instead. This _is_ more constraining. `maybe_conflicts_system` will now always fail, but it will do it consistently at startup. Naively, it would also _disallow_ `filter_system`, which would be a significant downgrade in usability. Bevy has a number of internal systems that rely on disjoint queries and I expect it to be a common pattern in userspace. To resolve this, I added a new `FilteredAccess<T>` type, which wraps `Access<T>` and adds with/without filters. If two `FilteredAccess` have with/without values that prove they are disjoint, they will no longer conflict. ## EntityRef / EntityMut World entity operations on `main` require that the user passes in an `entity` id to each operation: ```rust let entity = world.spawn((A, )); // create a new entity with A world.get::<A>(entity); world.insert(entity, (B, C)); world.insert_one(entity, D); ``` This means that each operation needs to look up the entity location / verify its validity. The initial spawn operation also requires a Bundle as input. This can be awkward when no components are required (or one component is required). These operations have been replaced by `EntityRef` and `EntityMut`, which are "builder-style" wrappers around world that provide read and read/write operations on a single, pre-validated entity: ```rust // spawn now takes no inputs and returns an EntityMut let entity = world.spawn() .insert(A) // insert a single component into the entity .insert_bundle((B, C)) // insert a bundle of components into the entity .id() // id returns the Entity id // Returns EntityMut (or panics if the entity does not exist) world.entity_mut(entity) .insert(D) .insert_bundle(SomeBundle::default()); { // returns EntityRef (or panics if the entity does not exist) let d = world.entity(entity) .get::<D>() // gets the D component .unwrap(); // world.get still exists for ergonomics let d = world.get::<D>(entity).unwrap(); } // These variants return Options if you want to check existence instead of panicing world.get_entity_mut(entity) .unwrap() .insert(E); if let Some(entity_ref) = world.get_entity(entity) { let d = entity_ref.get::<D>().unwrap(); } ``` This _does not_ affect the current Commands api or terminology. I think that should be a separate conversation as that is a much larger breaking change. ## Safety Improvements * Entity reservation in Commands uses a normal world borrow instead of an unsafe transmute * QuerySets no longer transmutes lifetimes * Made traits "unsafe" when implementing a trait incorrectly could cause unsafety * More thorough safety docs ## RemovedComponents SystemParam The old approach to querying removed components: `query.removed:<T>()` was confusing because it had no connection to the query itself. I replaced it with the following, which is both clearer and allows us to cache the ComponentId mapping in the SystemParamState: ```rust fn system(removed: RemovedComponents<T>) { for entity in removed.iter() { } } ``` ## Simpler Bundle implementation Bundles are no longer responsible for sorting (or deduping) TypeInfo. They are just a simple ordered list of component types / data. This makes the implementation smaller and opens the door to an easy "nested bundle" implementation in the future (which i might even add in this pr). Duplicate detection is now done once per bundle type by World the first time a bundle is used. ## Unified WorldQuery and QueryFilter types (don't worry they are still separate type _parameters_ in Queries .. this is a non-breaking change) WorldQuery and QueryFilter were already basically identical apis. With the addition of `FetchState` and more storage-specific fetch methods, the overlap was even clearer (and the redundancy more painful). QueryFilters are now just `F: WorldQuery where F::Fetch: FilterFetch`. FilterFetch requires `Fetch<Item = bool>` and adds new "short circuit" variants of fetch methods. This enables a filter tuple like `(With<A>, Without<B>, Changed<C>)` to stop evaluating the filter after the first mismatch is encountered. FilterFetch is automatically implemented for `Fetch` implementations that return bool. This forces fetch implementations that return things like `(bool, bool, bool)` (such as the filter above) to manually implement FilterFetch and decide whether or not to short-circuit. ## More Granular Modules World no longer globs all of the internal modules together. It now exports `core`, `system`, and `schedule` separately. I'm also considering exporting `core` submodules directly as that is still pretty "glob-ey" and unorganized (feedback welcome here). ## Remaining Draft Work (to be done in this pr) * ~~panic on conflicting WorldQuery fetches (&A, &mut A)~~ * ~~bevy `main` and hecs both currently allow this, but we should protect against it if possible~~ * ~~batch_iter / par_iter (currently stubbed out)~~ * ~~ChangedRes~~ * ~~I skipped this while we sort out #1313. This pr should be adapted to account for whatever we land on there~~. * ~~The `Archetypes` and `Tables` collections use hashes of sorted lists of component ids to uniquely identify each archetype/table. This hash is then used as the key in a HashMap to look up the relevant ArchetypeId or TableId. (which doesn't handle hash collisions properly)~~ * ~~It is currently unsafe to generate a Query from "World A", then use it on "World B" (despite the api claiming it is safe). We should probably close this gap. This could be done by adding a randomly generated WorldId to each world, then storing that id in each Query. They could then be compared to each other on each `query.do_thing(&world)` operation. This _does_ add an extra branch to each query operation, so I'm open to other suggestions if people have them.~~ * ~~Nested Bundles (if i find time)~~ ## Potential Future Work * Expand WorldCell to support queries. * Consider not allocating in the empty archetype on `world.spawn()` * ex: return something like EntityMutUninit, which turns into EntityMut after an `insert` or `insert_bundle` op * this actually regressed performance last time i tried it, but in theory it should be faster * Optimize SparseSet::insert (see `PERF` comment on insert) * Replace SparseArray `Option<T>` with T::MAX to cut down on branching * would enable cheaper get_unchecked() operations * upstream fixedbitset optimizations * fixedbitset could be allocation free for small block counts (store blocks in a SmallVec) * fixedbitset could have a const constructor * Consider implementing Tags (archetype-specific by-value data that affects archetype identity) * ex: ArchetypeA could have `[A, B, C]` table components and `[D(1)]` "tag" component. ArchetypeB could have `[A, B, C]` table components and a `[D(2)]` tag component. The archetypes are different, despite both having D tags because the value inside D is different. * this could potentially build on top of the `archetype.unique_components` added in this pr for resource storage. * Consider reverting `all_tuples` proc macro in favor of the old `macro_rules` implementation * all_tuples is more flexible and produces cleaner documentation (the macro_rules version produces weird type parameter orders due to parser constraints) * but unfortunately all_tuples also appears to make Rust Analyzer sad/slow when working inside of `bevy_ecs` (does not affect user code) * Consider "resource queries" and/or "mixed resource and entity component queries" as an alternative to WorldCell * this is basically just "systems" so maybe it's not worth it * Add more world ops * `world.clear()` * `world.reserve<T: Bundle>(count: usize)` * Try using the old archetype allocation strategy (allocate new memory on resize and copy everything over). I expect this to improve batch insertion performance at the cost of unbatched performance. But thats just a guess. I'm not an allocation perf pro :) * Adapt Commands apis for consistency with new World apis ## Benchmarks key: * `bevy_old`: bevy `main` branch * `bevy`: this branch * `_foreach`: uses an optimized for_each iterator * ` _sparse`: uses sparse set storage (if unspecified assume table storage) * `_system`: runs inside a system (if unspecified assume test happens via direct world ops) ### Simple Insert (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245573-9c3ce100-7795-11eb-9003-bfd41cd5c51f.png) ### Simpler Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245795-ffc70e80-7795-11eb-92fb-3ffad09aabf7.png) ### Fragment Iter (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245849-0fdeee00-7796-11eb-8d25-eb6b7a682c48.png) ### Sparse Fragmented Iter Iterate a query that matches 5 entities from a single matching archetype, but there are 100 unmatching archetypes ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109245916-2b49f900-7796-11eb-9a8f-ed89c203f940.png) ### Schedule (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246428-1fab0200-7797-11eb-8841-1b2161e90fa4.png) ### Add Remove Component (from ecs_bench_suite) ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246492-39e4e000-7797-11eb-8985-2706bd0495ab.png) ### Add Remove Component Big Same as the test above, but each entity has 5 "large" matrix components and 1 "large" matrix component is added and removed ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246517-449f7500-7797-11eb-835e-28b6790daeaa.png) ### Get Component Looks up a single component value a large number of times ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/2694663/109246129-87ad1880-7796-11eb-9fcb-c38012aa7c70.png)

Simplify trait hierarchy for `SystemParam` (#6865) # Objective * Implementing a custom `SystemParam` by hand requires implementing three traits -- four if it is read-only. * The trait `SystemParamFetch<'w, 's>` is a workaround from before we had generic associated types, and is no longer necessary. ## Solution * Combine the trait `SystemParamFetch` with `SystemParamState`. * I decided to remove the `Fetch` name and keep the `State` name, since the former was consistently conflated with the latter. * Replace the trait `ReadOnlySystemParamFetch` with `ReadOnlySystemParam`, which simplifies trait bounds in generic code. --- ## Changelog - Removed the trait `SystemParamFetch`, moving its functionality to `SystemParamState`. - Replaced the trait `ReadOnlySystemParamFetch` with `ReadOnlySystemParam`. ## Migration Guide The trait `SystemParamFetch` has been removed, and its functionality has been transferred to `SystemParamState`. ```rust // Before impl SystemParamState for MyParamState { fn init(world: &mut World, system_meta: &mut SystemMeta) -> Self { ... } } impl<'w, 's> SystemParamFetch<'w, 's> for MyParamState { type Item = MyParam<'w, 's>; fn get_param(...) -> Self::Item; } // After impl SystemParamState for MyParamState { type Item<'w, 's> = MyParam<'w, 's>; // Generic associated types! fn init(world: &mut World, system_meta: &mut SystemMeta) -> Self { ... } fn get_param<'w, 's>(...) -> Self::Item<'w, 's>; } ``` The trait `ReadOnlySystemParamFetch` has been replaced with `ReadOnlySystemParam`. ```rust // Before unsafe impl ReadOnlySystemParamFetch for MyParamState {} // After unsafe impl<'w, 's> ReadOnlySystemParam for MyParam<'w, 's> {} ```

Split WorldQuery into WorldQueryData and WorldQueryFilter (#9918) # Objective - Fixes #7680 - This is an updated for https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/8899 which had the same objective but fell a long way behind the latest changes ## Solution The traits `WorldQueryData : WorldQuery` and `WorldQueryFilter : WorldQuery` have been added and some of the types and functions from `WorldQuery` has been moved into them. `ReadOnlyWorldQuery` has been replaced with `ReadOnlyWorldQueryData`. `WorldQueryFilter` is safe (as long as `WorldQuery` is implemented safely). `WorldQueryData` is unsafe - safely implementing it requires that `Self::ReadOnly` is a readonly version of `Self` (this used to be a safety requirement of `WorldQuery`) The type parameters `Q` and `F` of `Query` must now implement `WorldQueryData` and `WorldQueryFilter` respectively. This makes it impossible to accidentally use a filter in the data position or vice versa which was something that could lead to bugs. ~~Compile failure tests have been added to check this.~~ It was previously sometimes useful to use `Option<With<T>>` in the data position. Use `Has<T>` instead in these cases. The `WorldQuery` derive macro has been split into separate derive macros for `WorldQueryData` and `WorldQueryFilter`. Previously it was possible to derive both `WorldQuery` for a struct that had a mixture of data and filter items. This would not work correctly in some cases but could be a useful pattern in others. *This is no longer possible.* --- ## Notes - The changes outside of `bevy_ecs` are all changing type parameters to the new types, updating the macro use, or replacing `Option<With<T>>` with `Has<T>`. - All `WorldQueryData` types always returned `true` for `IS_ARCHETYPAL` so I moved it to `WorldQueryFilter` and replaced all calls to it with `true`. That should be the only logic change outside of the macro generation code. - `Changed<T>` and `Added<T>` were being generated by a macro that I have expanded. Happy to revert that if desired. - The two derive macros share some functions for implementing `WorldQuery` but the tidiest way I could find to implement them was to give them a ton of arguments and ask clippy to ignore that. ## Changelog ### Changed - Split `WorldQuery` into `WorldQueryData` and `WorldQueryFilter` which now have separate derive macros. It is not possible to derive both for the same type. - `Query` now requires that the first type argument implements `WorldQueryData` and the second implements `WorldQueryFilter` ## Migration Guide - Update derives ```rust // old #[derive(WorldQuery)] #[world_query(mutable, derive(Debug))] struct CustomQuery { entity: Entity, a: &'static mut ComponentA } #[derive(WorldQuery)] struct QueryFilter { _c: With<ComponentC> } // new #[derive(WorldQueryData)] #[world_query_data(mutable, derive(Debug))] struct CustomQuery { entity: Entity, a: &'static mut ComponentA, } #[derive(WorldQueryFilter)] struct QueryFilter { _c: With<ComponentC> } ``` - Replace `Option<With<T>>` with `Has<T>` ```rust /// old fn my_system(query: Query<(Entity, Option<With<ComponentA>>)>) { for (entity, has_a_option) in query.iter(){ let has_a:bool = has_a_option.is_some(); //todo!() } } /// new fn my_system(query: Query<(Entity, Has<ComponentA>)>) { for (entity, has_a) in query.iter(){ //todo!() } } ``` - Fix queries which had filters in the data position or vice versa. ```rust // old fn my_system(query: Query<(Entity, With<ComponentA>)>) { for (entity, _) in query.iter(){ //todo!() } } // new fn my_system(query: Query<Entity, With<ComponentA>>) { for entity in query.iter(){ //todo!() } } // old fn my_system(query: Query<AnyOf<(&ComponentA, With<ComponentB>)>>) { for (entity, _) in query.iter(){ //todo!() } } // new fn my_system(query: Query<Option<&ComponentA>, Or<(With<ComponentA>, With<ComponentB>)>>) { for entity in query.iter(){ //todo!() } } ``` --------- Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecile@gmail.com>

Replace all labels with interned labels (#7762) # Objective First of all, this PR took heavy inspiration from #7760 and #5715. It intends to also fix #5569, but with a slightly different approach. This also fixes #9335 by reexporting `DynEq`. ## Solution The advantage of this API is that we can intern a value without allocating for zero-sized-types and for enum variants that have no fields. This PR does this automatically in the `SystemSet` and `ScheduleLabel` derive macros for unit structs and fieldless enum variants. So this should cover many internal and external use cases of `SystemSet` and `ScheduleLabel`. In these optimal use cases, no memory will be allocated. - The interning returns a `Interned<dyn SystemSet>`, which is just a wrapper around a `&'static dyn SystemSet`. - `Hash` and `Eq` are implemented in terms of the pointer value of the reference, similar to my first approach of anonymous system sets in #7676. - Therefore, `Interned<T>` does not implement `Borrow<T>`, only `Deref`. - The debug output of `Interned<T>` is the same as the interned value. Edit: - `AppLabel` is now also interned and the old `derive_label`/`define_label` macros were replaced with the new interning implementation. - Anonymous set ids are reused for different `Schedule`s, reducing the amount of leaked memory. ### Pros - `InternedSystemSet` and `InternedScheduleLabel` behave very similar to the current `BoxedSystemSet` and `BoxedScheduleLabel`, but can be copied without an allocation. - Many use cases don't allocate at all. - Very fast lookups and comparisons when using `InternedSystemSet` and `InternedScheduleLabel`. - The `intern` module might be usable in other areas. - `Interned{ScheduleLabel, SystemSet, AppLabel}` does implement `{ScheduleLabel, SystemSet, AppLabel}`, increasing ergonomics. ### Cons - Implementors of `SystemSet` and `ScheduleLabel` still need to implement `Hash` and `Eq` (and `Clone`) for it to work. ## Changelog ### Added - Added `intern` module to `bevy_utils`. - Added reexports of `DynEq` to `bevy_ecs` and `bevy_app`. ### Changed - Replaced `BoxedSystemSet` and `BoxedScheduleLabel` with `InternedSystemSet` and `InternedScheduleLabel`. - Replaced `impl AsRef<dyn ScheduleLabel>` with `impl ScheduleLabel`. - Replaced `AppLabelId` with `InternedAppLabel`. - Changed `AppLabel` to use `Debug` for error messages. - Changed `AppLabel` to use interning. - Changed `define_label`/`derive_label` to use interning. - Replaced `define_boxed_label`/`derive_boxed_label` with `define_label`/`derive_label`. - Changed anonymous set ids to be only unique inside a schedule, not globally. - Made interned label types implement their label trait. ### Removed - Removed `define_boxed_label` and `derive_boxed_label`. ## Migration guide - Replace `BoxedScheduleLabel` and `Box<dyn ScheduleLabel>` with `InternedScheduleLabel` or `Interned<dyn ScheduleLabel>`. - Replace `BoxedSystemSet` and `Box<dyn SystemSet>` with `InternedSystemSet` or `Interned<dyn SystemSet>`. - Replace `AppLabelId` with `InternedAppLabel` or `Interned<dyn AppLabel>`. - Types manually implementing `ScheduleLabel`, `AppLabel` or `SystemSet` need to implement: - `dyn_hash` directly instead of implementing `DynHash` - `as_dyn_eq` - Pass labels to `World::try_schedule_scope`, `World::schedule_scope`, `World::try_run_schedule`. `World::run_schedule`, `Schedules::remove`, `Schedules::remove_entry`, `Schedules::contains`, `Schedules::get` and `Schedules::get_mut` by value instead of by reference. --------- Co-authored-by: Joseph <21144246+JoJoJet@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Carter Anderson <mcanders1@gmail.com>

Make `Resource` trait opt-in, requiring `#[derive(Resource)]` V2 (#5577) *This PR description is an edited copy of #5007, written by @alice-i-cecile.* # Objective Follow-up to https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/2254. The `Resource` trait currently has a blanket implementation for all types that meet its bounds. While ergonomic, this results in several drawbacks: * it is possible to make confusing, silent mistakes such as inserting a function pointer (Foo) rather than a value (Foo::Bar) as a resource * it is challenging to discover if a type is intended to be used as a resource * we cannot later add customization options (see the [RFC](https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/blob/main/rfcs/27-derive-component.md) for the equivalent choice for Component). * dependencies can use the same Rust type as a resource in invisibly conflicting ways * raw Rust types used as resources cannot preserve privacy appropriately, as anyone able to access that type can read and write to internal values * we cannot capture a definitive list of possible resources to display to users in an editor ## Notes to reviewers * Review this commit-by-commit; there's effectively no back-tracking and there's a lot of churn in some of these commits. *ira: My commits are not as well organized :')* * I've relaxed the bound on Local to Send + Sync + 'static: I don't think these concerns apply there, so this can keep things simple. Storing e.g. a u32 in a Local is fine, because there's a variable name attached explaining what it does. * I think this is a bad place for the Resource trait to live, but I've left it in place to make reviewing easier. IMO that's best tackled with https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/4981. ## Changelog `Resource` is no longer automatically implemented for all matching types. Instead, use the new `#[derive(Resource)]` macro. ## Migration Guide Add `#[derive(Resource)]` to all types you are using as a resource. If you are using a third party type as a resource, wrap it in a tuple struct to bypass orphan rules. Consider deriving `Deref` and `DerefMut` to improve ergonomics. `ClearColor` no longer implements `Component`. Using `ClearColor` as a component in 0.8 did nothing. Use the `ClearColorConfig` in the `Camera3d` and `Camera2d` components instead.

Computed State & Sub States (#11426) ## Summary/Description This PR extends states to allow support for a wider variety of state types and patterns, by providing 3 distinct types of state: - Standard [`States`] can only be changed by manually setting the [`NextState<S>`] resource. These states are the baseline on which the other state types are built, and can be used on their own for many simple patterns. See the [state example](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/blob/latest/examples/ecs/state.rs) for a simple use case - these are the states that existed so far in Bevy. - [`SubStates`] are children of other states - they can be changed manually using [`NextState<S>`], but are removed from the [`World`] if the source states aren't in the right state. See the [sub_states example](https://github.com/lee-orr/bevy/blob/derived_state/examples/ecs/sub_states.rs) for a simple use case based on the derive macro, or read the trait docs for more complex scenarios. - [`ComputedStates`] are fully derived from other states - they provide a [`compute`](ComputedStates::compute) method that takes in the source states and returns their derived value. They are particularly useful for situations where a simplified view of the source states is necessary - such as having an `InAMenu` computed state derived from a source state that defines multiple distinct menus. See the [computed state example](https://github.com/lee-orr/bevy/blob/derived_state/examples/ecs/computed_states.rscomputed_states.rs) to see a sampling of uses for these states. # Objective This PR is another attempt at allowing Bevy to better handle complex state objects in a manner that doesn't rely on strict equality. While my previous attempts (https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/10088 and https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/9957) relied on complex matching capacities at the point of adding a system to application, this one instead relies on deterministically deriving simple states from more complex ones. As a result, it does not require any special macros, nor does it change any other interactions with the state system once you define and add your derived state. It also maintains a degree of distinction between `State` and just normal application state - your derivations have to end up being discreet pre-determined values, meaning there is less of a risk/temptation to place a significant amount of logic and data within a given state. ### Addition - Sub States closes #9942 After some conversation with Maintainers & SMEs, a significant concern was that people might attempt to use this feature as if it were sub-states, and find themselves unable to use it appropriately. Since `ComputedState` is mainly a state matching feature, while `SubStates` are more of a state mutation related feature - but one that is easy to add with the help of the machinery introduced by `ComputedState`, it was added here as well. The relevant discussion is here: https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1200556329803186316 ## Solution closes #11358 The solution is to create a new type of state - one implementing `ComputedStates` - which is deterministically tied to one or more other states. Implementors write a function to transform the source states into the computed state, and it gets triggered whenever one of the source states changes. In addition, we added the `FreelyMutableState` trait , which is implemented as part of the derive macro for `States`. This allows us to limit use of `NextState<S>` to states that are actually mutable, preventing mis-use of `ComputedStates`. --- ## Changelog - Added `ComputedStates` trait - Added `FreelyMutableState` trait - Converted `NextState` resource to an Enum, with `Unchanged` and `Pending` - Added `App::add_computed_state::<S: ComputedStates>()`, to allow for easily adding derived states to an App. - Moved the `StateTransition` schedule label from `bevy_app` to `bevy_ecs` - but maintained the export in `bevy_app` for continuity. - Modified the process for updating states. Instead of just having an `apply_state_transition` system that can be added anywhere, we now have a multi-stage process that has to run within the `StateTransition` label. First, all the state changes are calculated - manual transitions rely on `apply_state_transition`, while computed transitions run their computation process before both call `internal_apply_state_transition` to apply the transition, send out the transition event, trigger dependent states, and record which exit/transition/enter schedules need to occur. Once all the states have been updated, the transition schedules are called - first the exit schedules, then transition schedules and finally enter schedules. - Added `SubStates` trait - Adjusted `apply_state_transition` to be a no-op if the `State<S>` resource doesn't exist ## Migration Guide If the user accessed the NextState resource's value directly or created them from scratch they will need to adjust to use the new enum variants: - if they created a `NextState(Some(S))` - they should now use `NextState::Pending(S)` - if they created a `NextState(None)` -they should now use `NextState::Unchanged` - if they matched on the `NextState` value, they would need to make the adjustments above If the user manually utilized `apply_state_transition`, they should instead use systems that trigger the `StateTransition` schedule. --- ## Future Work There is still some future potential work in the area, but I wanted to keep these potential features and changes separate to keep the scope here contained, and keep the core of it easy to understand and use. However, I do want to note some of these things, both as inspiration to others and an illustration of what this PR could unlock. - `NextState::Remove` - Now that the `State` related mechanisms all utilize options (#11417), it's fairly easy to add support for explicit state removal. And while `ComputedStates` can add and remove themselves, right now `FreelyMutableState`s can't be removed from within the state system. While it existed originally in this PR, it is a different question with a separate scope and usability concerns - so having it as it's own future PR seems like the best approach. This feature currently lives in a separate branch in my fork, and the differences between it and this PR can be seen here: https://github.com/lee-orr/bevy/pull/5 - `NextState::ReEnter` - this would allow you to trigger exit & entry systems for the current state type. We can potentially also add a `NextState::ReEnterRecirsive` to also re-trigger any states that depend on the current one. - More mechanisms for `State` updates - This PR would finally make states that aren't a set of exclusive Enums useful, and with that comes the question of setting state more effectively. Right now, to update a state you either need to fully create the new state, or include the `Res<Option<State<S>>>` resource in your system, clone the state, mutate it, and then use `NextState.set(my_mutated_state)` to make it the pending next state. There are a few other potential methods that could be implemented in future PRs: - Inverse Compute States - these would essentially be compute states that have an additional (manually defined) function that can be used to nudge the source states so that they result in the computed states having a given value. For example, you could use set the `IsPaused` state, and it would attempt to pause or unpause the game by modifying the `AppState` as needed. - Closure-based state modification - this would involve adding a `NextState.modify(f: impl Fn(Option<S> -> Option<S>)` method, and then you can pass in closures or function pointers to adjust the state as needed. - Message-based state modification - this would involve either creating states that can respond to specific messages, similar to Elm or Redux. These could either use the `NextState` mechanism or the Event mechanism. - ~`SubStates` - which are essentially a hybrid of computed and manual states. In the simplest (and most likely) version, they would work by having a computed element that determines whether the state should exist, and if it should has the capacity to add a new version in, but then any changes to it's content would be freely mutated.~ this feature is now part of this PR. See above. - Lastly, since states are getting more complex there might be value in moving them out of `bevy_ecs` and into their own crate, or at least out of the `schedule` module into a `states` module. #11087 As mentioned, all these future work elements are TBD and are explicitly not part of this PR - I just wanted to provide them as potential explorations for the future. --------- Co-authored-by: Alice Cecile <alice.i.cecile@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Marcel Champagne <voiceofmarcel@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: MiniaczQ <xnetroidpl@gmail.com>
