- Dropped the protobuf extensions in favor of explicitly listing out
methods in both services if we want to implement both, as it's clearer.
- Move Service/Method wrappers into a separate crate that the various
clients can import, to easily get at the list of backend services and
their correct indices and comments.
This is of limited usefulness at the moment, as it doesn't help consumers
of the public API.
Also removed detached comments from the included comments.
Will be handy to use it in our other scripts in the future too - thanks
Rumo!
Results of benchmarking ./run before and after these crate splits:
- Touching a proto file leads to a slight increase: about +90ms
- Touching an rslib file leads to a bigger decrease, as there's less to
recompile: about -700ms
And ./ninja test is even better: about +200ms and -3800ms.
A couple of motivations for this:
- genbackend.py was somewhat messy, and difficult to change with the
lack of types. The mobile clients used it as a base for their generation,
so improving it will make life easier for them too, once they're ported.
- It will make it easier to write a .ts generator in the future
- We currently implement a bunch of helper methods on protobuf types
which don't allow us to compile the protobuf types until we compile
the Anki crate. If we change this in the future, we will be able to
do more of the compilation up-front.
We no longer need to record the services in the proto file, as we can
extract the service order from the compiled protos. Support for map types
has also been added.
