# Objective
Fixes#5153
## Solution
Search for all enums and manually check if they have default impls that can use this new derive.
By my reckoning:
| enum | num |
|-|-|
| total | 159 |
| has default impl | 29 |
| default is unit variant | 23 |
# Objective
CI is now failing with some changes that landed in 1.62.
## Solution
* Fix an unused lifetime by using it (we double-used the `w` lifetime).
* Update compile_fail error messages
* temporarily disable check-unused-dependencies
# Objective
- Provide a way to see the components of an entity.
- Fixes#1467
## Solution
- Add `World::inspect_entity`. It accepts an `Entity` and returns a vector of `&ComponentInfo` that the entity has.
- Add `EntityCommands::log_components`. It logs the component names of the entity. (info level)
---
## Changelog
### Added
- Ability to inspect components of an entity through `World::inspect_entity` or `EntityCommands::log_components`
There are some outdated error messages for when a resource is not found. It references `add_resource` and `add_non_send_resource` which were renamed to `insert_resource` and `insert_non_send_resource`.
# Objective
- Fixes#3142
## Solution
- Done according to #3142
- Created new marker trait `ArchetypeFilter`
- Implement said trait to:
- `With<T>`
- `Without<T>`
- tuples containing only types that implement `ArchetypeFilter`, from 0 to 15 elements
- `Or<T>` where T is a tuple as described previously
- Changed `ExactSizeIterator` impl to include a new generic that must implement `WorldQuery` and `ArchetypeFilter`
- Added new tests
---
## Changelog
### Added
- `Query`s with archetypal filters can now use `.iter().len()` to get the exact size of the iterator.
# Objective
Speed up entity moves between tables by reducing the number of copies conducted. Currently three separate copies are conducted: `src[index] -> swap scratch`, `src[last] -> src[index]`, and `swap scratch -> dst[target]`. The first and last copies can be merged by directly using the copy `src[index] -> dst[target]`, which can save quite some time if the component(s) in question are large.
## Solution
This PR does the following:
- Adds `BlobVec::swap_remove_unchecked(usize, PtrMut<'_>)`, which is identical to `swap_remove_and_forget_unchecked`, but skips the `swap_scratch` and directly copies the component into the provided `PtrMut<'_>`.
- Build `Column::initialize_from_unchecked(&mut Column, usize, usize)` on top of it, which uses the above to directly initialize a row from another column.
- Update most of the table move APIs to use `initialize_from_unchecked` instead of a combination of `swap_remove_and_forget_unchecked` and `initialize`.
This is an alternative, though orthogonal, approach to achieve the same performance gains as seen in #4853. This (hopefully) shouldn't run into the same Miri limitations that said PR currently does. After this PR, `swap_remove_and_forget_unchecked` is still in use for Resources and swap_scratch likely still should be removed, so #4853 still has use, even if this PR is merged.
## Performance
TODO: Microbenchmark
This PR shows similar improvements to commands that add or remove table components that result in a table move. When tested on `many_cubes sphere`, some of the more command heavy systems saw notable improvements. In particular, `prepare_uniform_components<T>`, this saw a reduction in time from 1.35ms to 1.13ms (a 16.3% improvement) on my local machine, a similar if not slightly better gain than what #4853 showed [here](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4853#issuecomment-1159346106).
The command heavy `Extract` stage also saw a smaller overall improvement:
---
## Changelog
Added: `BlobVec::swap_remove_unchecked`.
Added: `Column::initialize_from_unchecked`.
# Objective
- Simplify the process of obtaining a `ComponentId` instance corresponding to a `Component`.
- Resolves#5060.
## Solution
- Add a `component_id::<T: Component>(&self)` function to both `World` and `Components` to retrieve the `ComponentId` associated with `T` from a immutable reference.
---
## Changelog
- Added `World::component_id::<C>()` and `Components::component_id::<C>()` to retrieve a `Component`'s corresponding `ComponentId` if it exists.
# Objective
Closes#1557. Partially addresses #3362.
Cleanup the public facing API for storage types. Most of these APIs are difficult to use safely when directly interfacing with these types, and is also currently impossible to interact with in normal ECS use as there is no `World::storages_mut`. The majority of these types should be easy enough to read, and perhaps mutate the contents, but never structurally altered without the same checks in the rest of bevy_ecs code. This both cleans up the public facing types and helps use unused code detection to remove a few of the APIs we're not using internally.
## Solution
- Mark all APIs that take `&mut T` under `bevy_ecs::storage` as `pub(crate)` or `pub(super)`
- Cleanup after it all.
Entire type visibility changes:
- `BlobVec` is `pub(super)`, only storage code should be directly interacting with it.
- `SparseArray` is now `pub(crate)` for the entire type. It's an implementation detail for `Table` and `(Component)SparseSet`.
- `TableMoveResult` is now `pub(crate)
---
## Changelog
TODO
## Migration Guide
Dear God, I hope not.
# Objective
The descriptions included in the API docs of `entity` module, `Entity` struct, and `Component` trait have some issues:
1. the concept of entity is not clearly defined,
2. descriptions are a little bit out of place,
3. in a case the description leak too many details about the implementation,
4. some descriptions are not exhaustive,
5. there are not enough examples,
6. the content can be formatted in a much better way.
## Solution
1. ~~Stress the fact that entity is an abstract and elementary concept. Abstract because the concept of entity is not hardcoded into the library but emerges from the interaction of `Entity` with every other part of `bevy_ecs`, like components and world methods. Elementary because it is a fundamental concept that cannot be defined with other terms (like point in euclidean geometry, or time in classical physics).~~ We decided to omit the definition of entity in the API docs ([see why]). It is only described in its relationship with components.
2. Information has been moved to relevant places and links are used instead in the other places.
3. Implementation details about `Entity` have been reduced.
4. Descriptions have been made more exhaustive by stating how to obtain and use items. Entity operations are enriched with `World` methods.
5. Examples have been added or enriched.
6. Sections have been added to organize content. Entity operations are now laid out in a table.

builds on top of #4780
# Objective
`Reflect` and `Serialize` are currently very tied together because `Reflect` has a `fn serialize(&self) -> Option<Serializable<'_>>` method. Because of that, we can either implement `Reflect` for types like `Option<T>` with `T: Serialize` and have `fn serialize` be implemented, or without the bound but having `fn serialize` return `None`.
By separating `ReflectSerialize` into a separate type (like how it already is for `ReflectDeserialize`, `ReflectDefault`), we could separately `.register::<Option<T>>()` and `.register_data::<Option<T>, ReflectSerialize>()` only if the type `T: Serialize`.
This PR does not change the registration but allows it to be changed in a future PR.
## Solution
- add the type
```rust
struct ReflectSerialize { .. }
impl<T: Reflect + Serialize> FromType<T> for ReflectSerialize { .. }
```
- remove `#[reflect(Serialize)]` special casing.
- when serializing reflect value types, look for `ReflectSerialize` in the `TypeRegistry` instead of calling `value.serialize()`
# Objective
- Fix a type inference regression introduced by #3001
- Make read only bounds on world queries more user friendly
ptrification required you to write `Q::Fetch: ReadOnlyFetch` as `for<'w> QueryFetch<'w, Q>: ReadOnlyFetch` which has the same type inference problem as `for<'w> QueryFetch<'w, Q>: FilterFetch<'w>` had, i.e. the following code would error:
```rust
#[derive(Component)]
struct Foo;
fn bar(a: Query<(&Foo, Without<Foo>)>) {
foo(a);
}
fn foo<Q: WorldQuery>(a: Query<Q, ()>)
where
for<'w> QueryFetch<'w, Q>: ReadOnlyFetch,
{
}
```
`for<..>` bounds are also rather user unfriendly..
## Solution
Remove the `ReadOnlyFetch` trait in favour of a `ReadOnlyWorldQuery` trait, and remove `WorldQueryGats::ReadOnlyFetch` in favor of `WorldQuery::ReadOnly` allowing the previous code snippet to be written as:
```rust
#[derive(Component)]
struct Foo;
fn bar(a: Query<(&Foo, Without<Foo>)>) {
foo(a);
}
fn foo<Q: ReadOnlyWorldQuery>(a: Query<Q, ()>) {}
```
This avoids the `for<...>` bound which makes the code simpler and also fixes the type inference issue.
The reason for moving the two functions out of `FetchState` and into `WorldQuery` is to allow the world query `&mut T` to share a `State` with the `&T` world query so that it can have `type ReadOnly = &T`. Presumably it would be possible to instead have a `ReadOnlyRefMut<T>` world query and then do `type ReadOnly = ReadOnlyRefMut<T>` much like how (before this PR) we had a `ReadOnlyWriteFetch<T>`. A side benefit of the current solution in this PR is that it will likely make it easier in the future to support an API such as `Query<&mut T> -> Query<&T>`. The primary benefit IMO is just that `ReadOnlyRefMut<T>` and its associated fetch would have to reimplement all of the logic that the `&T` world query impl does but this solution avoids that :)
---
## Changelog/Migration Guide
The trait `ReadOnlyFetch` has been replaced with `ReadOnlyWorldQuery` along with the `WorldQueryGats::ReadOnlyFetch` assoc type which has been replaced with `<WorldQuery::ReadOnly as WorldQueryGats>::Fetch`
- Any where clauses such as `QueryFetch<Q>: ReadOnlyFetch` should be replaced with `Q: ReadOnlyWorldQuery`.
- Any custom world query impls should implement `ReadOnlyWorldQuery` insead of `ReadOnlyFetch`
Functions `update_component_access` and `update_archetype_component_access` have been moved from the `FetchState` trait to `WorldQuery`
- Any callers should now call `Q::update_component_access(state` instead of `state.update_component_access` (and `update_archetype_component_access` respectively)
- Any custom world query impls should move the functions from the `FetchState` impl to `WorldQuery` impl
`WorldQuery` has been made an `unsafe trait`, `FetchState` has been made a safe `trait`. (I think this is how it should have always been, but regardless this is _definitely_ necessary now that the two functions have been moved to `WorldQuery`)
- If you have a custom `FetchState` impl make it a normal `impl` instead of `unsafe impl`
- If you have a custom `WorldQuery` impl make it an `unsafe impl`, if your code was sound before it is going to still be sound
# Objective
- Fixes#4271
## Solution
- Check for a pending transition in addition to a scheduled operation.
- I don't see a valid reason for updating the state unless both `scheduled` and `transition` are empty.
# Objective
Following #4855, `Column` is just a parallel `BlobVec`/`Vec<UnsafeCell<ComponentTicks>>` pair, which is identical to the dense and ticks vecs in `ComponentSparseSet`, which has some code duplication with `Column`.
## Solution
Replace dense and ticks in `ComponentSparseSet` with a `Column`.
# Objective
Most of our `Iterator` impls satisfy the requirements of `std::iter::FusedIterator`, which has internal specialization that optimizes `Interator::fuse`. The std lib iterator combinators do have a few that rely on `fuse`, so this could optimize those use cases. I don't think we're using any of them in the engine itself, but beyond a light increase in compile time, it doesn't hurt to implement the trait.
## Solution
Implement the trait for all eligible iterators in first party crates. Also add a missing `ExactSizeIterator` on an iterator that could use it.
Right now, a direct reference to the target TaskPool is required to launch tasks on the pools, despite the three newtyped pools (AsyncComputeTaskPool, ComputeTaskPool, and IoTaskPool) effectively acting as global instances. The need to pass a TaskPool reference adds notable friction to spawning subtasks within existing tasks. Possible use cases for this may include chaining tasks within the same pool like spawning separate send/receive I/O tasks after waiting on a network connection to be established, or allowing cross-pool dependent tasks like starting dependent multi-frame computations following a long I/O load.
Other task execution runtimes provide static access to spawning tasks (i.e. `tokio::spawn`), which is notably easier to use than the reference passing required by `bevy_tasks` right now.
This PR makes does the following:
* Adds `*TaskPool::init` which initializes a `OnceCell`'ed with a provided TaskPool. Failing if the pool has already been initialized.
* Adds `*TaskPool::get` which fetches the initialized global pool of the respective type or panics. This generally should not be an issue in normal Bevy use, as the pools are initialized before they are accessed.
* Updated default task pool initialization to either pull the global handles and save them as resources, or if they are already initialized, pull the a cloned global handle as the resource.
This should make it notably easier to build more complex task hierarchies for dependent tasks. It should also make writing bevy-adjacent, but not strictly bevy-only plugin crates easier, as the global pools ensure it's all running on the same threads.
One alternative considered is keeping a thread-local reference to the pool for all threads in each pool to enable the same `tokio::spawn` interface. This would spawn tasks on the same pool that a task is currently running in. However this potentially leads to potential footgun situations where long running blocking tasks run on `ComputeTaskPool`.
# Objective
Improve querying ergonomics around collections and iterators of entities.
Example how queries over Children might be done currently.
```rust
fn system(foo_query: Query<(&Foo, &Children)>, bar_query: Query<(&Bar, &Children)>) {
for (foo, children) in &foo_query {
for child in children.iter() {
if let Ok((bar, children)) = bar_query.get(*child) {
for child in children.iter() {
if let Ok((foo, children)) = foo_query.get(*child) {
// D:
}
}
}
}
}
}
```
Answers #4868
Partially addresses #4864Fixes#1470
## Solution
Based on the great work by @deontologician in #2563
Added `iter_many` and `many_for_each_mut` to `Query`.
These take a list of entities (Anything that implements `IntoIterator<Item: Borrow<Entity>>`).
`iter_many` returns a `QueryManyIter` iterator over immutable results of a query (mutable data will be cast to an immutable form).
`many_for_each_mut` calls a closure for every result of the query, ensuring not aliased mutability.
This iterator goes over the list of entities in order and returns the result from the query for it. Skipping over any entities that don't match the query.
Also added `unsafe fn iter_many_unsafe`.
### Examples
```rust
#[derive(Component)]
struct Counter {
value: i32
}
#[derive(Component)]
struct Friends {
list: Vec<Entity>,
}
fn system(
friends_query: Query<&Friends>,
mut counter_query: Query<&mut Counter>,
) {
for friends in &friends_query {
for counter in counter_query.iter_many(&friends.list) {
println!("Friend's counter: {:?}", counter.value);
}
counter_query.many_for_each_mut(&friends.list, |mut counter| {
counter.value += 1;
println!("Friend's counter: {:?}", counter.value);
});
}
}
```
Here's how example in the Objective section can be written with this PR.
```rust
fn system(foo_query: Query<(&Foo, &Children)>, bar_query: Query<(&Bar, &Children)>) {
for (foo, children) in &foo_query {
for (bar, children) in bar_query.iter_many(children) {
for (foo, children) in foo_query.iter_many(children) {
// :D
}
}
}
}
```
## Additional changes
Implemented `IntoIterator` for `&Children` because why not.

(follow-up to #4423)
# Objective
Currently, it isn't possible to easily fire commands from within par_for_each blocks. This PR allows for issuing commands from within parallel scopes.
# Objective
This PR aims to improve the soundness of `CommandQueue`. In particular it aims to:
- make it sound to store commands that contain padding or uninitialized bytes;
- avoid uses of commands after moving them in the queue's buffer (`std::mem::forget` is technically a use of its argument);
- remove useless checks: `self.bytes.as_mut_ptr().is_null()` is always `false` because even `Vec`s that haven't allocated use a dangling pointer. Moreover the same pointer was used to write the command, so it ought to be valid for reads if it was for writes.
## Solution
- To soundly store padding or uninitialized bytes `CommandQueue` was changed to contain a `Vec<MaybeUninit<u8>>` instead of `Vec<u8>`;
- To avoid uses of the command through `std::mem::forget`, `ManuallyDrop` was used.
## Other observations
While writing this PR I noticed that `CommandQueue` doesn't seem to drop the commands that weren't applied. While this is a pretty niche case (you would have to be manually using `CommandQueue`/`std::mem::swap`ping one), I wonder if it should be documented anyway.
# Objective
Don't allocate memory for Component types known at compile-time. Save a bit of memory.
## Solution
Change `ComponentDescriptor::name` from `String` to `Cow<'static, str>` to use the `&'static str` returned by `std::any::type_name`.
# Objective
`debug_assert!` macros must still compile properly in release mode due to how they're implemented. This is causing release builds to fail.
## Solution
Change them to `assert!` macros inside `#[cfg(debug_assertions)]` blocks.
# Objective
- Higher order system could not be created by users.
- However, a simple change to `SystemParamFunction` allows this.
- Higher order systems in this case mean functions which return systems created using other systems, such as `chain` (which is basically equivalent to map)
## Solution
- Change `SystemParamFunction` to be a safe abstraction over `FnMut([In<In>,] ...params)->Out`.
- Note that I believe `SystemParamFunction` should not have been counted as part of our public api before this PR.
- This is because its only use was an unsafe function without an actionable safety comment.
- The safety comment was basically 'call this within bevy code'.
- I also believe that there are no external users in its current form.
- A quick search on Google and in the discord confirmed this.
## See also
- https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4666, which uses this and subsumes the example here
---
## Changelog
### Added
- `SystemParamFunction`, which can be used to create higher order systems.
# Objective
Use less memory to store SparseSet components.
## Solution
Change `ComponentSparseSet` to only use `Entity::id` in it's key internally, and change the usize value in it's SparseArray to use u32 instead, as it cannot have more than u32::MAX live entities stored at once.
This should reduce the overhead of storing components in sparse set storage by 50%.
# Objective
Fixes#3183. Requiring a `&TaskPool` parameter is sort of meaningless if the only correct one is to use the one provided by `Res<ComputeTaskPool>` all the time.
## Solution
Have `QueryState` save a clone of the `ComputeTaskPool` which is used for all `par_for_each` functions.
~~Adds a small overhead of the internal `Arc` clone as a part of the startup, but the ergonomics win should be well worth this hardly-noticable overhead.~~
Updated the docs to note that it will panic the task pool is not present as a resource.
# Future Work
If https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/pull/54 is approved, we can replace these resource lookups with a static function call instead to get the `ComputeTaskPool`.
---
## Changelog
Removed: The `task_pool` parameter of `Query(State)::par_for_each(_mut)`. These calls will use the `World`'s `ComputeTaskPool` resource instead.
## Migration Guide
The `task_pool` parameter for `Query(State)::par_for_each(_mut)` has been removed. Remove these parameters from all calls to these functions.
Before:
```rust
fn parallel_system(
task_pool: Res<ComputeTaskPool>,
query: Query<&MyComponent>,
) {
query.par_for_each(&task_pool, 32, |comp| {
...
});
}
```
After:
```rust
fn parallel_system(query: Query<&MyComponent>) {
query.par_for_each(32, |comp| {
...
});
}
```
If using `Query(State)` outside of a system run by the scheduler, you may need to manually configure and initialize a `ComputeTaskPool` as a resource in the `World`.
# Objective
The `ComponentId` in `Column` is redundant as it's stored in parallel in the surrounding `SparseSet` all the time.
## Solution
Remove it. Add `SparseSet::iter(_mut)` to parallel `HashMap::iter(_mut)` to allow iterating pairs of columns and their IDs.
---
## Changelog
Added: `SparseSet::iter` and `SparseSet::iter_mut`.
# Objective
- Rebase of #3159.
- Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/3156
- add #[inline] to single related functions so that they matches with other function defs
## Solution
* added functions to QueryState
* get_single_unchecked_manual
* get_single_unchecked
* get_single
* get_single_mut
* single
* single_mut
* make Query::get_single use QueryState::get_single_unchecked_manual
* added #[inline]
---
## Changelog
### Added
Functions `QueryState::single`, `QueryState::get_single`, `QueryState::single_mut`, `QueryState::get_single_mut`, `QueryState::get_single_unchecked`, `QueryState::get_single_unchecked_manual`.
### Changed
`QuerySingleError` is now in the `state` module.

# Objective
the code in these fns are always identical so stop having two functions
## Solution
make them the same function
---
## Changelog
change `matches_archetype` and `matches_table` to `fn matches_component_set(&self, &SparseArray<ComponentId, usize>) -> bool` then do extremely boring updating of all `FetchState` impls
## Migration Guide
- move logic of `matches_archetype` and `matches_table` into `matches_component_set` in any manual `FetchState` impls
# Objective
Even if bevy itself does not provide any builtin scripting or modding APIs, it should have the foundations for building them yourself.
For that it should be enough to have APIs that are not tied to the actual rust types with generics, but rather accept `ComponentId`s and `bevy_ptr` ptrs.
## Solution
Add the following APIs to bevy
```rust
fn EntityRef::get_by_id(ComponentId) -> Option<Ptr<'w>>;
fn EntityMut::get_by_id(ComponentId) -> Option<Ptr<'_>>;
fn EntityMut::get_mut_by_id(ComponentId) -> Option<MutUntyped<'_>>;
fn World::get_resource_by_id(ComponentId) -> Option<Ptr<'_>>;
fn World::get_resource_mut_by_id(ComponentId) -> Option<MutUntyped<'_>>;
// Safety: `value` must point to a valid value of the component
unsafe fn World::insert_resource_by_id(ComponentId, value: OwningPtr);
fn ComponentDescriptor::new_with_layout(..) -> Self;
fn World::init_component_with_descriptor(ComponentDescriptor) -> ComponentId;
```
~~This PR would definitely benefit from #3001 (lifetime'd pointers) to make sure that the lifetimes of the pointers are valid and the my-move pointer in `insert_resource_by_id` could be an `OwningPtr`, but that can be adapter later if/when #3001 is merged.~~
### Not in this PR
- inserting components on entities (this is very tied to types with bundles and the `BundleInserter`)
- an untyped version of a query (needs good API design, has a large implementation complexity, can be done in a third-party crate)
Co-authored-by: Jakob Hellermann <hellermann@sipgate.de>
# Objective
Fixes#4657
Example code that wasnt panic'ing before this PR (and so was unsound):
```rust
#[test]
#[should_panic = "error[B0001]"]
fn option_has_no_filter_with() {
fn sys(_1: Query<(Option<&A>, &mut B)>, _2: Query<&mut B, Without<A>>) {}
let mut world = World::default();
run_system(&mut world, sys);
}
#[test]
#[should_panic = "error[B0001]"]
fn any_of_has_no_filter_with() {
fn sys(_1: Query<(AnyOf<(&A, ())>, &mut B)>, _2: Query<&mut B, Without<A>>) {}
let mut world = World::default();
run_system(&mut world, sys);
}
#[test]
#[should_panic = "error[B0001]"]
fn or_has_no_filter_with() {
fn sys(_1: Query<&mut B, Or<(With<A>, With<B>)>>, _2: Query<&mut B, Without<A>>) {}
let mut world = World::default();
run_system(&mut world, sys);
}
```
## Solution
- Only add the intersection of `with`/`without` accesses of all the elements in `Or/AnyOf` to the world query's `FilteredAccess<ComponentId>` instead of the union.
- `Option`'s fix can be thought of the same way since its basically `AnyOf<T, ()>` but its impl is just simpler as `()` has no `with`/`without` accesses
---
## Changelog
- `Or`/`AnyOf`/`Option` will now report more query conflicts in order to fix unsoundness
## Migration Guide
- If you are now getting query conflicts from `Or`/`AnyOf`/`Option` rip to you and ur welcome for it now being caught
# Objective
We have duplicated code between `QueryIter` and `QueryIterationCursor`. Reuse that code.
## Solution
- Reuse `QueryIterationCursor` inside `QueryIter`.
- Slim down `QueryIter` by removing the `&'w World`. It was only being used by the `size_hint` and `ExactSizeIterator` impls, which can use the QueryState and &Archetypes in the type already.
- Benchmark to make sure there is no significant regression.
Relevant benchmark results seem to show that there is no tangible difference between the two. Everything seems to be either identical or within a workable margin of error here.

# Objective
- We do a lot of function pointer calls in a hot loop (clearing entities in render). This is slow, since calling function pointers cannot be optimised out. We can avoid that in the cases where the function call is a no-op.
- Alternative to https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/2897
- On my machine, in `many_cubes`, this reduces dropping time from ~150μs to ~80μs.
## Solution
- Make `drop` in `BlobVec` an `Option`, recording whether the given drop impl is required or not.
- Note that this does add branching in some cases - we could consider splitting this into two fields, i.e. unconditionally call the `drop` fn pointer.
- My intuition of how often types stored in `World` should have non-trivial drops makes me think that would be slower, however.
N.B. Even once this lands, we should still test having a 'drop_multiple' variant - for types with a real `Drop` impl, the current implementation is definitely optimal.
# Objective
`bevy_ecs` assumes that `u32 as usize` is a lossless operation and in a few cases relies on this for soundness and correctness. The only platforms that Rust compiles to where this invariant is broken are 16-bit systems.
A very clear example of this behavior is in the SparseSetIndex impl for Entity, where it converts a u32 into a usize to act as an index. If usize is 16-bit, the conversion will overflow and provide the caller with the wrong index. This can easily result in previously unforseen aliased mutable borrows (i.e. Query::get_many_mut).
## Solution
Explicitly fail compilation on 16-bit platforms instead of introducing UB.
Properly supporting 16-bit systems will likely need a workable use case first.
---
## Changelog
Removed: Ability to compile `bevy_ecs` on 16-bit platforms.
## Migration Guide
`bevy_ecs` will now explicitly fail to compile on 16-bit platforms. If this is required, there is currently no alternative. Please file an issue (https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues) to help detail your use case.
# Objective
- It's pretty common to want to check if an EventReader has received one or multiple events while also needing to consume the iterator to "clear" the EventReader.
- The current approach is to do something like `events.iter().count() > 0` or `events.iter().last().is_some()`. It's not immediately obvious that the purpose of that is to consume the events and check if there were any events. My solution doesn't really solve that part, but it encapsulates the pattern.
## Solution
- Add a `.clear()` method that consumes the iterator.
- It takes the EventReader by value to make sure it isn't used again after it has been called.
---
## Migration Guide
Not a breaking change, but if you ever found yourself in a situation where you needed to consume the EventReader and check if there was any events you can now use
```rust
fn system(events: EventReader<MyEvent>) {
if !events.is_empty {
events.clear();
// Process the fact that one or more event was received
}
}
```

# Objective
`Query::par_for_each` and it's variants do not show up when profiling using `tracy` or other profilers. Failing to show the impact of changing batch size, the overhead of scheduling tasks, overall thread utilization, etc. other than the effect on the surrounding system.
## Solution
Add a child span that is entered on every spawned task.
Example view of the results in `tracy` using a modified `parallel_query`:
---
## Changelog
Added: `tracing` spans for `Query::par_for_each` and its variants. Spans should now be visible for all
# Objective
- The code in `events.rs` was a bit messy. There was lots of duplication between `EventReader` and `ManualEventReader`, and the state management code is not needed.
## Solution
- Clean it up.
## Future work
Should we remove the type parameter from `ManualEventReader`?
It doesn't have any meaning outside of its source `Events`. But there's no real reason why it needs to have a type parameter - it's just plain data. I didn't remove it yet to keep the type safety in some of the users of it (primarily related to `&mut World` usage)
Required for https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/4402.
# Objective
- derived `SystemParam` implementations were never `ReadOnlySystemParamFetch`
- We want them to be, e.g. for `EventReader`
## Solution
- If possible, 'forward' the impl of `ReadOnlySystemParamFetch`.
# Objective
- (Eventually) reduce noise in reporting access conflicts between unordered systems.
- `SystemStage` only looks at unfiltered `ComponentId` access, any conflicts reported are potentially `false`.
- the systems could still be accessing disjoint archetypes
- Comparing systems' filtered access sets can maybe avoid that (for statically known component types).
- #4204
## Solution
- Modify `SparseSetIndex` trait to require `PartialEq`, `Eq`, and `Hash` (all internal types except `BundleId` already did).
- Add `is_compatible` and `get_conflicts` methods to `FilteredAccessSet<T>`
- (existing method renamed to `get_conflicts_single`)
- Add docs for those and all the other methods while I'm at it.
## Objective
- ~~Make absurdly long-lived changes stay detectable for even longer (without leveling up to `u64`).~~
- Give all changes a consistent maximum lifespan.
- Improve code clarity.
## Solution
- ~~Increase the frequency of `check_tick` scans to increase the oldest reliably-detectable change.~~
(Deferred until we can benchmark the cost of a scan.)
- Ignore changes older than the maximum reliably-detectable age.
- General refactoring—name the constants, use them everywhere, and update the docs.
- Update test cases to check for the specified behavior.
## Related
This PR addresses (at least partially) the concerns raised in:
- #3071
- #3082 (and associated PR #3084)
## Background
- #1471
Given the minimum interval between `check_ticks` scans, `N`, the oldest reliably-detectable change is `u32::MAX - (2 * N - 1)` (or `MAX_CHANGE_AGE`). Reducing `N` from ~530 million (current value) to something like ~2 million would extend the lifetime of changes by a billion.
| minimum `check_ticks` interval | oldest reliably-detectable change | usable % of `u32::MAX` |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `u32::MAX / 8` (536,870,911) | `(u32::MAX / 4) * 3` | 75.0% |
| `2_000_000` | `u32::MAX - 3_999_999` | 99.9% |
Similarly, changes are still allowed to be between `MAX_CHANGE_AGE`-old and `u32::MAX`-old in the interim between `check_tick` scans. While we prevent their age from overflowing, the test to detect changes still compares raw values. This makes failure ultimately unreliable, since when ancient changes stop being detected varies depending on when the next scan occurs.
## Open Question
Currently, systems and system states are incorrectly initialized with their `last_change_tick` set to `0`, which doesn't handle wraparound correctly.
For consistent behavior, they should either be initialized to the world's `last_change_tick` (and detect no changes) or to `MAX_CHANGE_AGE` behind the world's current `change_tick` (and detect everything as a change). I've currently gone with the latter since that was closer to the existing behavior.
## Follow-up Work
(Edited: entire section)
We haven't actually profiled how long a `check_ticks` scan takes on a "large" `World` , so we don't know if it's safe to increase their frequency. However, we are currently relying on play sessions not lasting long enough to trigger a scan and apps not having enough entities/archetypes for it to be "expensive" (our assumption). That isn't a real solution. (Either scanning never costs enough to impact frame times or we provide an option to use `u64` change ticks. Nobody will accept random hiccups.)
To further extend the lifetime of changes, we actually only need to increment the world tick if a system has `Fetch: !ReadOnlySystemParamFetch`. The behavior will be identical because all writes are sequenced, but I'm not sure how to implement that in a way that the compiler can optimize the branch out.
Also, since having no false positives depends on a `check_ticks` scan running at least every `2 * N - 1` ticks, a `last_check_tick` should also be stored in the `World` so that any lull in system execution (like a command flush) could trigger a scan if needed. To be completely robust, all the systems initialized on the world should be scanned, not just those in the current stage.
# Objective
- Remove `Resource` binding on events, introduce a new `Event` trait
- Ensure event iterators are `ExactSizeIterator`
## Solution
- Builds on #2382 and #2969
## Changelog
- Events<T>, EventWriter<T>, EventReader<T> and so on now require that the underlying type is Event, rather than Resource. Both of these are trivial supertraits of Send + Sync + 'static with universal blanket implementations: this change is currently purely cosmetic.
- Event reader iterators now implement ExactSizeIterator
