- Add BINARY_IMPLEMENTATION.md with internal architecture and perf details
- Link new implementation doc from all relevant documentation
- Change default ReferenceHandlingMode to OnlyId
- Change default UseStringInterning to All
- Add InternalsVisibleTo for Mango.Nop.Core
AcBinarySourceGenerator now reads feature flags from [AcBinarySerializable], enabling selective code generation for ID tracking, reference handling, and string interning. Property ordering is always alphabetical, removing "Id"-first sorting for IId types. Reference tracking code is only emitted when features are enabled. TypeMetadataBase and AcBinarySerializer runtime logic now respect these flags. Default options updated: ReferenceHandlingMode is All, UseMetadata is false. Test models explicitly disable all features. Comments and code structure improved for clarity.
Implements a fully source-generated scan pass for duplicate/reference tracking in SGen binary serialization. The generator now emits ScanObject and ScanForDuplicates methods for each writer, handling null/depth checks, slot-based ref tracking (by Id or object hash), and recursive property scanning (strings, complex types, collections). String interning and reference tracking are feature-flagged via attributes. The runtime scan path now delegates to generated code when available, eliminating reflection and delegate overhead. Adds slot-based IdentityMap arrays to the serialization context for efficient duplicate detection. Also updates metadata, attributes, and test stubs to support these features.
- Generate writers for nested types using flat class names (Outer_Inner_Leaf) to ensure uniqueness and validity.
- Apply property filters in generated code for all non-markerless properties, matching runtime behavior.
- Emit skip labels for each property in generated code for correct control flow.
- Remove PropertyFilter check from IsDirectObjectWrite; generated code now handles filtering.
- Change default ReferenceHandlingMode to All.
- Make BinaryPropertyFilterContext constructor public.
- Increase release warmup iterations in Program.cs from 3000 to 5000.
Introduces a WireMode enum to select between Compact (VarInt + UTF-8) and Fast (fixed-width + UTF-16) wire formats for binary serialization. Updates AcBinarySerializerOptions to include a WireMode property (default: Fast). Serialization and deserialization logic now conditionally uses fixed-width or variable-length encoding for integers and strings based on the selected mode, enabling a tradeoff between output size and performance.
Reduced default pool sizes from 16 to 8 for serializers and object pools, now configurable via AcSerializerOptions.MaxContextPoolSize. Improved IdentityMap<TId> memory usage and cache locality by shrinking small int bitmap/array. Refactored hash table logic to use cached bucket length. Optimized Reset to clear only used entries and adjusted array pooling. String key equality now always uses ordinal comparison. Updated context pool logic to respect per-serializer pool size. Includes minor code cleanups and comments.
Refactor IId reference tracking with a new allocation-free, high-performance IdentityMap<TId> using bitmaps and pooled hash tables. Add async context cleanup for serializers, with pre-rented arrays for improved hot-path performance. Update AcSerializerOptions and context classes for better pooling, immutability, and platform support. Centralize and optimize array pooling and clearing to reduce memory pressure and GC impact.
- Refactor all serializer options to use properties returning new instances (no shared mutable state); update all usages accordingly
- Extract AcSerializerOptions, BinaryTypeCode, and BinaryPropertyFilterContext to dedicated files for clarity and reuse
- Add DEBUG-only string interning analysis/reporting tools to AcBinarySerializer
- Improve AcBinarySerializer string property serialization with direct typed getter and SIMD-optimized ASCII path
- Increase benchmark/test warmup iterations and add JIT warmup delays for more reliable performance measurements
- Remove redundant usings and update documentation/comments throughout
- No breaking API changes, but static readonly options fields are now properties
