Front end: fix promotion of fields accessed through mixin applications.

When a field is declared in a mixin, the front end creates a synthetic
getter in the mixin application class that gets the value of the mixed
in field. So if a piece of code accesses the mixed in field through
the mixin application class rather than through the mixin directly,
the resolved member is the synthetic getter rather than a field.

In order to ensure that the field remains promotable even if it is
accessed through the mixin application, the logic in
`OperationsCfe.isPropertyPromotable` needs to be changed so that it
doesn't treat these synthetic getters as non-promotable. The old logic
was essentially this:

1. If the property is not private, it's not promotable.

2. Otherwise, if the property is listed in
   `FieldNonPromotabilityInfo.fieldNameInfo`, it's not
   promotable. (This happens either if the property is not promotable
   for an intrinsic reason, such as being a non-final field or a
   concrete getter, or if it has the same name as a non-promotable
   property elsewhere in the library).

3. Otherwise, if the property is a getter that was lowered from an
   abstract field, it's promotable.

4. Otherwise, if the property is a getter that was lowered from a late
   field, it's promotable.

5. Otherwise, the property isn't promotable. (This was intended to
   cover the case where the property is an abstract getter
   declaration).

(Although conditions 3 and 4 were tested first, since they are more
efficient to test).

It turns out that once conditions 1-2 have been ruled out, the
property must have been declared as a method (which is being torn
off), a private abstract getter, or a (possibly abstract) non-external
private final field. Of these three possibilities, only the last is
promotable. So this can be simplified to:

(conditions 1-2 as above)

3. Otherwise, if the property is a method tear-off, it's not promotable.

4. Otherwise, if the property is an abstract getter, it's not promotable.

5. Otherwise, the property is promotable.

This makes the logic easier to follow, since conditions 1-4 are now
all reasons for non-promotability (rather than a mix of promotability
and non-promotability reasons). It also conveniently addresses the
problem with fields accessed through mixin applications, since they
aren't excluded by any of conditions 1-4.

(We still test conditions 3 and 4 first, since they are more efficient
to test.)

Monorepo

A gclient solution for checking out Dart and Flutter source trees

Monorepo is:

  • Optimized for Tip-of-Tree testing: The Monorepo DEPS used to check out Dart and Flutter dependencies comes from the Flutter engine DEPS with updated dependencies from Dart.

Checking out Monorepo

With depot_tools installed and on your path, create a directory for your monorepo checkout and run these commands to create a gclient solution in that directory:

mkdir monorepo
cd monorepo
gclient config --unmanaged https://dart.googlesource.com/monorepo
gclient sync -D

This gives you a checkout in the monorepo directory that contains:

monorepo/
  DEPS - the DEPS used for this gclient checkout
  commits.json - the pinned commits for Dart, flutter/engine,
                 and flutter/flutter
  tools/ - scripts used to create monorepo DEPS
engine/src/ - the flutter/buildroot repo
    flutter/ - the flutter/engine repo
    out/ - the build directory, where Flutter engine builds are created
    third_party/ - Flutter dependencies checked out by DEPS
      dart/ - the Dart SDK checkout.
        third_party - Dart dependencies, also used by Flutter
flutter/ - the flutter/flutter repo

Building Flutter engine

Flutter's instructions for building the engine are at Compiling the engine

They can be followed closely, with a few changes:

  • Googlers working on Dart do not need to switch to Fuchsia's Goma RBE, except for Windows. The GOMA_DIR enviroment variable can just point to the .cipd_bin directory in a depot_tools installation, and just goma_ctl ensure_start is sufficient.
  • The --no-prebuilt-dart-sdk option has to be added to every gn command, so that the build is set up to build and use a local Dart SDK.
  • The --full-dart-sdk option must be added to gn for the host build target if you will be building web or desktop apps.

Example build commands that work on linux:

MONOREPO_PATH=$PWD
if [[ ! $PATH =~ (^|:)$MONOREPO_PATH/flutter/bin(:|$) ]]; then
  PATH=$MONOREPO_PATH/flutter/bin:$PATH
fi

export GOMA_DIR=$(dirname $(command -v gclient))/.cipd_bin
goma_ctl ensure_start

pushd engine/src
flutter/tools/gn --goma --no-prebuilt-dart-sdk --unoptimized --full-dart-sdk
autoninja -C out/host_debug_unopt
popd

Building Flutter apps

The Flutter commands used to build and run apps will use the locally built Flutter engine and Dart SDK, instead of the one downloaded by the Flutter tool, if the --local-engine option is provided.

For example, to build and run the Flutter spinning square sample on the web platform,

MONOREPO_PATH=$PWD
cd flutter/examples/layers
flutter --local-engine=host_debug_unopt \
  -d chrome run widgets/spinning_square.dart
cd $MONOREPO_PATH

To build for desktop, specify the desktop platform device in flutter run as -d macos or -d linux or -d windows. You may also need to run the command

flutter create --platforms=windows,macos,linux

on existing apps, such as sample apps. New apps created with flutter create already include these support files. Details of desktop support are at Desktop Support for Flutter

Testing

Tests in the Flutter source tree can be run with the flutter test command, run in the directory of a package containing tests. For example:

MONOREPO_PATH=$PWD
cd flutter/packages/flutter
flutter test --local-engine=host_debug_unopt
cd $MONOREPO_PATH

Troubleshooting

Please file an issue or email the dart-engprod team with any problems with or questions about using monorepo.

We will update this documentation to address them.

  • flutter commands may download the engine and Dart SDK files for the configured channel, even though they will be using the local engine and its SDK.

Windows

  • On Windows, gclient sync needs to be run in an administrator session, because some installed dependencies create symlinks.
