For minimal correctness, we must ensure that buffers that cross the
thread boundary are allocated and deallocated within the same thread and
that there is no reference counting going on during the computation.
To get there with minimal changes:
* Preallocate a buffer for the outcome of the merkle tree computation
* Pass pointers instead of `ref` types between threads
* Avoid relying on isolation - this is an ORC-only feature
* Add `SharedBuf` as a simple "view" type that allows working with a set
of values while at the same time avoiding allocations and refcounts -
the view checks for out-of-bounds acccess much like a seq, but the user
is responsible for managing lifetime (which in this case is simple since
all that needs to happen is for the task to complete)
* In order not to upset the code too much, use a simple linear packer
for the hashes that simply copies the values back and forth
* Block cancellation and panic if the thread signalling mechanism fails
- cancelling the task itself would require inserting cancellation points
in the computation
The worker task relies on a nuance, namely that calling a closure
procedure does not count as a reference-counting event - while this
works, it can be brittle in "general" code since it's easy to make copy
of the closure itself by accident - the refactoring necessary for
addressing this point is beyond the scope of this change however.
* cleanup imports and logs
* add BlockHandle type
* revert deps
* refactor: async error handling and future tracking improvements
- Update async procedures to use explicit raises annotation
- Modify TrackedFutures to handle futures with no raised exceptions
- Replace `asyncSpawn` with explicit future tracking
- Update test suites to use `unittest2`
- Standardize error handling across network and async components
- Remove deprecated error handling patterns
This commit introduces a more robust approach to async error handling and future management, improving type safety and reducing potential runtime errors.
