# Objective
Fixes these issues:
- `WorldId`s currently aren't necessarily unique
- I want to guarantee that they're unique to safeguard my librarified version of https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/2805
- There probably hasn't been a collision yet, but they could technically collide
- `SystemId` isn't used for anything
- It's no longer used now that `Locals` are stored within the `System`.
- `bevy_ecs` depends on rand
## Solution
- Instead of randomly generating `WorldId`s, just use an incrementing atomic counter, panicing on overflow.
- Remove `SystemId`
- We do need to allow Locals for exclusive systems at some point, but exclusive systems couldn't access their own `SystemId` anyway.
- Now that these don't depend on rand, move it to a dev-dependency
## Todo
Determine if `WorldId` should be `u32` based instead
# 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:
115b170d1f/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.
# Objective
- Remove all the `.system()` possible.
- Check for remaining missing cases.
## Solution
- Remove all `.system()`, fix compile errors
- 32 calls to `.system()` remains, mostly internals, the few others should be removed after #2446
# Objective
- Continue work of #2398 and #2403.
- Make `.system()` syntax optional when using `.config()` API.
## Solution
- Introduce new prelude trait, `ConfigurableSystem`, that shorthands `my_system.system().config(...)` as `my_system.config(...)`.
- Expand `configure_system_local` test to also cover the new syntax.
This can be your 6 months post-christmas present.
# Objective
- Make `.system` optional
- yeet
- It's ugly
- Alternative title: `.system` is dead; long live `.system`
- **yeet**
## Solution
- Use a higher ranked lifetime, and some trait magic.
N.B. This PR does not actually remove any `.system`s, except in a couple of examples. Once this is merged we can do that piecemeal across crates, and decide on syntax for labels.
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).
