Loretta 7f677418af Refactor string wire format to universal FixStr/String
Refactored binary string serialization to use a new universal wire format with FixStr (135–166) and String (167) markers and unsigned excess slots, replacing the previous tiered approach. Updated all read/write logic, marker handling, and type code definitions accordingly. FastWire UTF-16 marker (91) now has dedicated handling with legacy compatibility. Removed legacy StringSmall/Medium/Big/Ascii code paths except for backward-compatibility. Improved buffer management in ArrayBinaryOutput and documented new critical issues regarding buffer ownership and disposal. Added new utility methods for marker encoding/decoding and excess slot sizing. Updated documentation and comments to match the new format.

AyCode.Core.Serializers.SourceGenerator

Roslyn incremental source generator that produces optimized IGeneratedBinaryWriter and IGeneratedBinaryReader implementations for types marked with [AcBinarySerializable]. Eliminates runtime reflection on serialization hot paths.

Targets netstandard2.0 (required for Roslyn analyzers/generators).

Key Files

  • AcBinarySourceGenerator.cs — Single-file IIncrementalGenerator (~2100 lines). Generates:
    • {ClassName}_GeneratedWriter — Per-type writer with ScanObject() + WriteProperties() methods. Handles primitives, strings (with interning), collections, dictionaries, complex nested types, and polymorphic objects.
    • {ClassName}_GeneratedReader — Per-type reader with ReadProperties() method.
    • ModuleInitializer — Auto-registers all generated writers/readers at startup.
    • Circular reference detection with ACBIN001 diagnostic warning.

Slot Allocation

Each generated writer reserves a unique type slot via AcBinarySerializer.AllocateWrapperSlot() (static field initializer, Interlocked.Increment).

  • Slots 063 — reserved for runtime polymorphic types (assigned dynamically on first encounter)
  • Slots 64+ — source-generated types (allocated at [ModuleInitializer] registration time)

Slot indices are NOT stable across compilations. The order depends on Roslyn's ForAttributeWithMetadataName() enumeration order, which may vary between builds. This is fine because slots are only meaningful within a single serialization/deserialization session — they are never persisted to disk or sent over the wire as slot indices (the wire format uses type names or metadata hashes for cross-session/cross-type compatibility).

Feature Flags

The [AcBinarySerializable] attribute supports per-type feature control:

  • enableMetadata — Property hash metadata for cross-type deserialization
  • enableIdTracking — IId-based reference tracking
  • enableRefHandling — General reference tracking
  • enableInternString — String interning/deduplication

Disabled features eliminate corresponding code blocks from generated output (zero dead code).
