# Objective
- Contributes to #16877
## Solution
- Initial creation of `bevy_platform_support` crate.
- Moved `bevy_utils::Instant` into new `bevy_platform_support` crate.
- Moved `portable-atomic`, `portable-atomic-util`, and
`critical-section` into new `bevy_platform_support` crate.
## Testing
- CI
---
## Showcase
Instead of needing code like this to import an `Arc`:
```rust
#[cfg(feature = "portable-atomic")]
use portable_atomic_util::Arc;
#[cfg(not(feature = "portable-atomic"))]
use alloc::sync::Arc;
```
We can now use:
```rust
use bevy_platform_support::sync::Arc;
```
This applies to many other types, but the goal is overall the same:
allowing crates to use `std`-like types without the boilerplate of
conditional compilation and platform-dependencies.
## Migration Guide
- Replace imports of `bevy_utils::Instant` with
`bevy_platform_support::time::Instant`
- Replace imports of `bevy::utils::Instant` with
`bevy::platform_support::time::Instant`
## Notes
- `bevy_platform_support` hasn't been reserved on `crates.io`
- ~~`bevy_platform_support` is not re-exported from `bevy` at this time.
It may be worthwhile exporting this crate, but I am unsure of a
reasonable name to export it under (`platform_support` may be a bit
wordy for user-facing).~~
- I've included an implementation of `Instant` which is suitable for
`no_std` platforms that are not Wasm for the sake of eliminating feature
gates around its use. It may be a controversial inclusion, so I'm happy
to remove it if required.
- There are many other items (`spin`, `bevy_utils::Sync(Unsafe)Cell`,
etc.) which should be added to this crate. I have kept the initial scope
small to demonstrate utility without making this too unwieldy.

This adds support for one-to-many non-fragmenting relationships (with
planned paths for fragmenting and non-fragmenting many-to-many
relationships). "Non-fragmenting" means that entities with the same
relationship type, but different relationship targets, are not forced
into separate tables (which would cause "table fragmentation").
Functionally, this fills a similar niche as the current Parent/Children
system. The biggest differences are:
1. Relationships have simpler internals and significantly improved
performance and UX. Commands and specialized APIs are no longer
necessary to keep everything in sync. Just spawn entities with the
relationship components you want and everything "just works".
2. Relationships are generalized. Bevy can provide additional built in
relationships, and users can define their own.
**REQUEST TO REVIEWERS**: _please don't leave top level comments and
instead comment on specific lines of code. That way we can take
advantage of threaded discussions. Also dont leave comments simply
pointing out CI failures as I can read those just fine._
## Built on top of what we have
Relationships are implemented on top of the Bevy ECS features we already
have: components, immutability, and hooks. This makes them immediately
compatible with all of our existing (and future) APIs for querying,
spawning, removing, scenes, reflection, etc. The fewer specialized APIs
we need to build, maintain, and teach, the better.
## Why focus on one-to-many non-fragmenting first?
1. This allows us to improve Parent/Children relationships immediately,
in a way that is reasonably uncontroversial. Switching our hierarchy to
fragmenting relationships would have significant performance
implications. ~~Flecs is heavily considering a switch to non-fragmenting
relations after careful considerations of the performance tradeoffs.~~
_(Correction from @SanderMertens: Flecs is implementing non-fragmenting
storage specialized for asset hierarchies, where asset hierarchies are
many instances of small trees that have a well defined structure)_
2. Adding generalized one-to-many relationships is currently a priority
for the [Next Generation Scene / UI
effort](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/14437).
Specifically, we're interested in building reactions and observers on
top.
## The changes
This PR does the following:
1. Adds a generic one-to-many Relationship system
3. Ports the existing Parent/Children system to Relationships, which now
lives in `bevy_ecs::hierarchy`. The old `bevy_hierarchy` crate has been
removed.
4. Adds on_despawn component hooks
5. Relationships can opt-in to "despawn descendants" behavior, meaning
that the entire relationship hierarchy is despawned when
`entity.despawn()` is called. The built in Parent/Children hierarchies
enable this behavior, and `entity.despawn_recursive()` has been removed.
6. `world.spawn` now applies commands after spawning. This ensures that
relationship bookkeeping happens immediately and removes the need to
manually flush. This is in line with the equivalent behaviors recently
added to the other APIs (ex: insert).
7. Removes the ValidParentCheckPlugin (system-driven / poll based) in
favor of a `validate_parent_has_component` hook.
## Using Relationships
The `Relationship` trait looks like this:
```rust
pub trait Relationship: Component + Sized {
type RelationshipSources: RelationshipSources<Relationship = Self>;
fn get(&self) -> Entity;
fn from(entity: Entity) -> Self;
}
```
A relationship is a component that:
1. Is a simple wrapper over a "target" Entity.
2. Has a corresponding `RelationshipSources` component, which is a
simple wrapper over a collection of entities. Every "target entity"
targeted by a "source entity" with a `Relationship` has a
`RelationshipSources` component, which contains every "source entity"
that targets it.
For example, the `Parent` component (as it currently exists in Bevy) is
the `Relationship` component and the entity containing the Parent is the
"source entity". The entity _inside_ the `Parent(Entity)` component is
the "target entity". And that target entity has a `Children` component
(which implements `RelationshipSources`).
In practice, the Parent/Children relationship looks like this:
```rust
#[derive(Relationship)]
#[relationship(relationship_sources = Children)]
pub struct Parent(pub Entity);
#[derive(RelationshipSources)]
#[relationship_sources(relationship = Parent)]
pub struct Children(Vec<Entity>);
```
The Relationship and RelationshipSources derives automatically implement
Component with the relevant configuration (namely, the hooks necessary
to keep everything in sync).
The most direct way to add relationships is to spawn entities with
relationship components:
```rust
let a = world.spawn_empty().id();
let b = world.spawn(Parent(a)).id();
assert_eq!(world.entity(a).get::<Children>().unwrap(), &[b]);
```
There are also convenience APIs for spawning more than one entity with
the same relationship:
```rust
world.spawn_empty().with_related::<Children>(|s| {
s.spawn_empty();
s.spawn_empty();
})
```
The existing `with_children` API is now a simpler wrapper over
`with_related`. This makes this change largely non-breaking for existing
spawn patterns.
```rust
world.spawn_empty().with_children(|s| {
s.spawn_empty();
s.spawn_empty();
})
```
There are also other relationship APIs, such as `add_related` and
`despawn_related`.
## Automatic recursive despawn via the new on_despawn hook
`RelationshipSources` can opt-in to "despawn descendants" behavior,
which will despawn all related entities in the relationship hierarchy:
```rust
#[derive(RelationshipSources)]
#[relationship_sources(relationship = Parent, despawn_descendants)]
pub struct Children(Vec<Entity>);
```
This means that `entity.despawn_recursive()` is no longer required.
Instead, just use `entity.despawn()` and the relevant related entities
will also be despawned.
To despawn an entity _without_ despawning its parent/child descendants,
you should remove the `Children` component first, which will also remove
the related `Parent` components:
```rust
entity
.remove::<Children>()
.despawn()
```
This builds on the on_despawn hook introduced in this PR, which is fired
when an entity is despawned (before other hooks).
## Relationships are the source of truth
`Relationship` is the _single_ source of truth component.
`RelationshipSources` is merely a reflection of what all the
`Relationship` components say. By embracing this, we are able to
significantly improve the performance of the system as a whole. We can
rely on component lifecycles to protect us against duplicates, rather
than needing to scan at runtime to ensure entities don't already exist
(which results in quadratic runtime). A single source of truth gives us
constant-time inserts. This does mean that we cannot directly spawn
populated `Children` components (or directly add or remove entities from
those components). I personally think this is a worthwhile tradeoff,
both because it makes the performance much better _and_ because it means
theres exactly one way to do things (which is a philosophy we try to
employ for Bevy APIs).
As an aside: treating both sides of the relationship as "equivalent
source of truth relations" does enable building simple and flexible
many-to-many relationships. But this introduces an _inherent_ need to
scan (or hash) to protect against duplicates.
[`evergreen_relations`](https://github.com/EvergreenNest/evergreen_relations)
has a very nice implementation of the "symmetrical many-to-many"
approach. Unfortunately I think the performance issues inherent to that
approach make it a poor choice for Bevy's default relationship system.
## Followup Work
* Discuss renaming `Parent` to `ChildOf`. I refrained from doing that in
this PR to keep the diff reasonable, but I'm personally biased toward
this change (and using that naming pattern generally for relationships).
* [Improved spawning
ergonomics](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/discussions/16920)
* Consider adding relationship observers/triggers for "relationship
targets" whenever a source is added or removed. This would replace the
current "hierarchy events" system, which is unused upstream but may have
existing users downstream. I think triggers are the better fit for this
than a buffered event queue, and would prefer not to add that back.
* Fragmenting relations: My current idea hinges on the introduction of
"value components" (aka: components whose type _and_ value determines
their ComponentId, via something like Hashing / PartialEq). By labeling
a Relationship component such as `ChildOf(Entity)` as a "value
component", `ChildOf(e1)` and `ChildOf(e2)` would be considered
"different components". This makes the transition between fragmenting
and non-fragmenting a single flag, and everything else continues to work
as expected.
* Many-to-many support
* Non-fragmenting: We can expand Relationship to be a list of entities
instead of a single entity. I have largely already written the code for
this.
* Fragmenting: With the "value component" impl mentioned above, we get
many-to-many support "for free", as it would allow inserting multiple
copies of a Relationship component with different target entities.
Fixes#3742 (If this PR is merged, I think we should open more targeted
followup issues for the work above, with a fresh tracking issue free of
the large amount of less-directed historical context)
Fixes#17301Fixes#12235Fixes#15299Fixes#15308
## Migration Guide
* Replace `ChildBuilder` with `ChildSpawnerCommands`.
* Replace calls to `.set_parent(parent_id)` with
`.insert(Parent(parent_id))`.
* Replace calls to `.replace_children()` with `.remove::<Children>()`
followed by `.add_children()`. Note that you'll need to manually despawn
any children that are not carried over.
* Replace calls to `.despawn_recursive()` with `.despawn()`.
* Replace calls to `.despawn_descendants()` with
`.despawn_related::<Children>()`.
* If you have any calls to `.despawn()` which depend on the children
being preserved, you'll need to remove the `Children` component first.

# Objective
Fixes https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/17111
## Solution
Move `#![warn(clippy::allow_attributes,
clippy::allow_attributes_without_reason)]` to the workspace `Cargo.toml`
## Testing
Lots of CI testing, and local testing too.
---------
Co-authored-by: Benjamin Brienen <benjamin.brienen@outlook.com>
# Objective
I realized that setting these to `deny` may have been a little
aggressive - especially since we upgrade warnings to denies in CI.
## Solution
Downgrades these lints to `warn`, so that compiles can work locally. CI
will still treat these as denies.
# Objective
Stumbled upon a `from <-> form` transposition while reviewing a PR,
thought it was interesting, and went down a bit of a rabbit hole.
## Solution
Fix em
# Objective & Solution
- Update `downcast-rs` to the latest version, 2.
- Disable (new) `sync` feature to improve compatibility with atomically
challenged platforms.
- Remove stub `downcast-rs` alternative code from `bevy_app`
## Testing
- CI
## Notes
The only change from version 1 to version 2 is the addition of a new
`sync` feature, which allows disabling the `DowncastSync` parts of
`downcast-rs`, which require access to `alloc::sync::Arc`, which is not
available on atomically challenged platforms. Since Bevy makes no use of
the functionality provided by the `sync` feature, I've disabled it in
all crates. Further details can be found
[here](https://github.com/marcianx/downcast-rs/pull/22).
# Objective
- I'm compiling (parts of) bevy for an embedded platform with no 64bit
atomic and ctrlc handler support. Some compilation errors came up. This
PR contains the fixes for those.
- Fix depth_bias casting in PBR material (Fixes#14169)
- Negative depth_bias values were casted to 0 before this PR
- f32::INFINITY depth_bias value was casted to -1 before this PR
## Solutions
- Restrict 64bit atomic reflection to supported platforms
- Restrict ctrlc handler to supported platforms (linux, windows or macos
instead of "not wasm")
- The depth bias value (f32) is first casted to i32 then u64 in order to
preserve negative values
## Testing
- This version compiles on a platform with no 64bit atomic support, and
no ctrlc support
- CtrlC handler still works on Linux and Windows (I can't test on Macos)
- depth_bias:
```rust
println!("{}",f32::INFINITY as u64 as i32); // Prints: -1 (old implementation)
println!("{}",f32::INFINITY as i32 as u64 as i32); // Prints: 2147483647 (expected, new implementation)
```
Also ran a modified version of 3d_scene example with the following
results:
RED cube depth_bias: -1000.0
BLUE cube depth_bias: 0.0
RED cube depth_bias: -INF
BLUE cube depth_bias: 0.0
RED cube depth_bias: INF (case reported in #14169)
BLUE cube depth_bias: 0.0
(Im not completely sure whats going on with the shadows here, it seems
like depth_bias has some affect to those aswell, if this is
unintentional this issue was not introduced by this PR)
# Objective
Ensure the deny lint attributes added as a result of #17111 point to the
tracking issue.
## Solution
Change all existing instances of:
```rust
#![deny(clippy::allow_attributes, clippy::allow_attributes_without_reason)]
```
to
```rust
#![deny(
clippy::allow_attributes,
clippy::allow_attributes_without_reason,
reason = "See #17111; To be removed once all crates are in-line with these attributes"
)]
```
## Testing
N/A

# Objective
- Contributes to #11478
- Contributes to #16877
## Solution
- Removed everything except `Instant` from `bevy_utils::time`
## Testing
- CI
---
## Migration Guide
If you relied on any of the following from `bevy_utils::time`:
- `Duration`
- `TryFromFloatSecsError`
Import these directly from `core::time` regardless of platform target
(WASM, mobile, etc.)
If you relied on any of the following from `bevy_utils::time`:
- `SystemTime`
- `SystemTimeError`
Instead import these directly from either `std::time` or `web_time` as
appropriate for your target platform.
## Notes
`Duration` and `TryFromFloatSecsError` are both re-exports from
`core::time` regardless of whether they are used from `web_time` or
`std::time`, so there is no value gained from re-exporting them from
`bevy_utils::time` as well. As for `SystemTime` and `SystemTimeError`,
no Bevy internal crates or examples rely on these types. Since Bevy
doesn't have a `Time<Wall>` resource for interacting with wall-time (and
likely shouldn't need one), I think removing these from `bevy_utils`
entirely and waiting for a use-case to justify inclusion is a reasonable
path forward.
# Background
In `no_std` compatible crates, there is often an `std` feature which
will allow access to the standard library. Currently, with the `std`
feature _enabled_, the
[`std::prelude`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/prelude/index.html) is
implicitly imported in all modules. With the feature _disabled_, instead
the [`core::prelude`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/core/prelude/index.html)
is implicitly imported. This creates a subtle and pervasive issue where
`alloc` items _may_ be implicitly included (if `std` is enabled), or
must be explicitly included (if `std` is not enabled).
# Objective
- Make the implicit imports for `no_std` crates consistent regardless of
what features are/not enabled.
## Solution
- Replace the `cfg_attr` "double negative" `no_std` attribute with
conditional compilation to _include_ `std` as an external crate.
```rust
// Before
#![cfg_attr(not(feature = "std"), no_std)]
// After
#![no_std]
#[cfg(feature = "std")]
extern crate std;
```
- Fix imports that are currently broken but are only now visible with
the above fix.
## Testing
- CI
## Notes
I had previously used the "double negative" version of `no_std` based on
general consensus that it was "cleaner" within the Rust embedded
community. However, this implicit prelude issue likely was considered
when forming this consensus. I believe the reason why is the items most
affected by this issue are provided by the `alloc` crate, which is
rarely used within embedded but extensively used within Bevy.
# Objective
We want to deny the following lints:
* `clippy::allow_attributes` - Because there's no reason to
`#[allow(...)]` an attribute if it wouldn't lint against anything; you
should always use `#[expect(...)]`
* `clippy::allow_attributes_without_reason` - Because documenting the
reason for allowing/expecting a lint is always good
## Solution
Set the `clippy::allow_attributes` and
`clippy::allow_attributes_without_reason` lints to `deny`, and bring
`bevy_reflect` in line with the new restrictions.
No code changes have been made - except if a lint that was previously
`allow(...)`'d could be removed via small code changes. For example,
`unused_variables` can be handled by adding a `_` to the beginning of a
field's name.
## Testing
I ran `cargo clippy`, and received no errors.
# Objective
- Resolve several warnings encountered when compiling for `no_std`
around `dead_code`
- Fix compatibility with `wasm32-unknown-unknown` when using `no_std`
(identified by Sachymetsu on
[Discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/692572690833473578/1323365426901549097))
## Solution
- Removed some unused imports
- Added `allow(dead_code)` for certain private items when compiling on
`no_std`
- Fixed `bevy_app` and `bevy_tasks` compatibility with WASM when
compiling without `std` by appropriately importing `Box` and feature
gating panic unwinding
## Testing
- CI
# Objective
Make working with `PluginGroupBuilder` less panicky.
Fixes#17001
## Solution
Expand the `PluginGroupBuilder` api with fallible add methods + a
contains method.
Also reorder the `PluginGroupBuilder` tests because before should come
before after.
## Testing
Ran the `PluginGroupBuilder` tests which call into all the newly added
methods.
# Objective
Fixes#16850
## Solution
Add a new function `SubApp::take_extract()`, similar to
`Option::take()`, which allows stealing the currently installed extract
function of a sub-app, with the intent to replace it with a custom one
calling the original one via `set_extract()`.
This pattern enables registering a custom "world sync" function similar
to the existing one `entity_sync_system()`, to run custom world sync
logic with mutable access to both the main and render worlds.
## Testing
`cargo r -p ci` currently doesn't build locally, event after upgrading
rustc to latest and doing a `cargo update`.
# Objective
`SubApps` is visible within the documentation for `bevy_app`. However,
no way of accessing the `SubApps` field in `App` is currently available.
## Solution
Expose two new functions, `App::sub_apps()` and `App::sub_apps_mut()`,
which give immutable and mutable access to `SubApps` respectively.
The other solution is to hide `SubApps`, which I submitted as a PR at
<https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/16953>.
## Testing
Because of the simplicity of the changes, I only tested by compiling
`bevy_app` - which compiled successfully.
Note: `SubApps`, and its corresponding field on `App`, are not used
outside of `bevy_app` - which means that compiling the other crates is
not necessary.
# Objective
- Fixes#16892
## Solution
- Removed `TypeRegistryPlugin` (`Name` is now automatically registered
with a default `App`)
- Moved `TaskPoolPlugin` to `bevy_app`
- Moved `FrameCountPlugin` to `bevy_diagnostic`
- Deleted now-empty `bevy_core`
## Testing
- CI
## Migration Guide
- `TypeRegistryPlugin` no longer exists. If you can't use a default
`App` but still need `Name` registered, do so manually with
`app.register_type::<Name>()`.
- References to `TaskPoolPlugin` and associated types will need to
import it from `bevy_app` instead of `bevy_core`
- References to `FrameCountPlugin` and associated types will need to
import it from `bevy_diagnostic` instead of `bevy_core`
## Notes
This strategy was agreed upon by Cart and several other members in
[Discord](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/692572690833473578/1319137218312278077).
# Objective
- Contributes to #15460
## Solution
- Added the following features:
- `std` (default)
- `bevy_tasks` (default)
- `downcast ` (default)
- `portable-atomic`
- `critical-section`
- `downcast` and `bevy_tasks` are now optional dependencies for
`bevy_app`.
## Testing
- CI
- Personal UEFI and Raspberry Pi Pico demo applications compile and run
against this branch
## Draft Release Notes
Bevy's application framework now supports `no_std` platforms.
Following up on `bevy_ecs` gaining `no_std` support, `bevy_app` extends
the functionality available on these targets to include the powerful
`App` and `Plugin` abstractions. With this, library authors now have the
option of making their plugins `no_std` compatible, or even offering
plugins specifically to improve Bevy on certain embedded platforms!
To start making a `no_std` compatible plugin, simply disable default
features when including `bevy_app`:
```toml
[dependencies]
bevy_app = { version = "0.16", default-features = false }
```
We encourage library authors to do this anyway, as it can also help with
compile times and binary size on all platforms.
Keep an eye out for future `no_std` updates as we continue to improve
the parity between `std` and `no_std`. We look forward to seeing what
kinds of applications are now possible with Bevy!
## Notes
- `downcast-rs` is optional as it isn't compatible with
`portable-atomic`. I will investigate making a PR upstream to add
support for this functionality, as it should be very straightforward.
- In line with the `bevy_ecs` no-std-ification, I've added documentation
to all features, and grouped them as well.
- ~~Creating this PR in draft while CI runs and so I can polish before
review.~~

# Objective
Simplify the code by using `macro_rules` instead of a proc macro where
possible.
## Solution
Replace `impl_param_set` proc macro with a `macro_rules` macro.
# Objective
We were waiting for 1.83 to address most of these, due to a bug with
`missing_docs` and `expect`. Relates to, but does not entirely complete,
#15059.
## Solution
- Upgrade to 1.83
- Switch `allow(missing_docs)` to `expect(missing_docs)`
- Remove a few now-unused `allow`s along the way, or convert to `expect`
Updating dependencies; adopted version of #15696. (Supercedes #15696.)
Long answer: hashbrown is no longer using ahash by default, meaning that
we can't use the default-hasher methods with ahasher. So, we have to use
the longer-winded versions instead. This takes the opportunity to also
switch our default hasher as well, but without actually enabling the
default-hasher feature for hashbrown, meaning that we'll be able to
change our hasher more easily at the cost of all of these method calls
being obnoxious forever.
One large change from 0.15 is that `insert_unique_unchecked` is now
`unsafe`, and for cases where unsafe code was denied at the crate level,
I replaced it with `insert`.
## Migration Guide
`bevy_utils` has updated its version of `hashbrown` to 0.15 and now
defaults to `foldhash` instead of `ahash`. This means that if you've
hard-coded your hasher to `bevy_utils::AHasher` or separately used the
`ahash` crate in your code, you may need to switch to `foldhash` to
ensure that everything works like it does in Bevy.
# Objective
- Remove `derive_more`'s error derivation and replace it with
`thiserror`
## Solution
- Added `derive_more`'s `error` feature to `deny.toml` to prevent it
sneaking back in.
- Reverted to `thiserror` error derivation
## Notes
Merge conflicts were too numerous to revert the individual changes, so
this reversion was done manually. Please scrutinise carefully during
review.
# Objective
Fixes#15941
## Solution
Created https://crates.io/crates/variadics_please and moved the code
there; updating references
`bevy_utils/macros` is deleted.
## Testing
cargo check
## Migration Guide
Use `variadics_please::{all_tuples, all_tuples_with_size}` instead of
`bevy::utils::{all_tuples, all_tuples_with_size}`.
# Objective
The documentation for `bevy_app::App.world()` (and its mut variant)
could confuse some into thinking that this is the only World that the
App will contain.
## Solution
Clarify the documentation for `bevy_app::App.world()` (and its mut
variant), to say that it returns the main subapp's world. This helps
imply that Apps can contain more than one world (albeit, only one per
SubApp).
## Testing
This is a documentation change, with no changes to doctests. Thus,
testing is not necessary beyond ensuring the link syntax is correct.
# Objective
Needing to derive `AnimationEvent` for `Event` is unnecessary, and the
trigger logic coupled to it feels like we're coupling "event producer"
logic with the event itself, which feels wrong. It also comes with a
bunch of complexity, which is again unnecessary. We can have the
flexibility of "custom animation event trigger logic" without this
coupling and complexity.
The current `animation_events` example is also needlessly complicated,
due to it needing to work around system ordering issues. The docs
describing it are also slightly wrong. We can make this all a non-issue
by solving the underlying ordering problem.
Related to this, we use the `bevy_animation::Animation` system set to
solve PostUpdate animation order-of-operations issues. If we move this
to bevy_app as part of our "core schedule", we can cut out needless
`bevy_animation` crate dependencies in these instances.
## Solution
- Remove `AnimationEvent`, the derive, and all other infrastructure
associated with it (such as the `bevy_animation/derive` crate)
- Replace all instances of `AnimationEvent` traits with `Event + Clone`
- Store and use functions for custom animation trigger logic (ex:
`clip.add_event_fn()`). For "normal" cases users dont need to think
about this and should use the simpler `clip.add_event()`
- Run the `Animation` system set _before_ updating text
- Move `bevy_animation::Animation` to `bevy_app::Animation`. Remove
unnecessary `bevy_animation` dependency from `bevy_ui`
- Adjust `animation_events` example to use the simpler `clip.add_event`
API, as the workarounds are no longer necessary
This is polishing work that will land in 0.15, and I think it is simple
enough and valuable enough to land in 0.15 with it, in the interest of
making the feature as compelling as possible.
# Objective
Fix#15841
## Solution
Added an update schedule as recommended in the issue.
## Testing
Doc test is run and passes.
Ran the example in a test app before and after adding the line.
## Showcase
Before:
```
PS C:\Users\BenjaminBrienen\source\bevy_experiment_test> cargo run

Running `target\debug\bevy_experiment_test.exe`
```
(nothing happens)
After:
```

# Objective
- `MeshPickingBackend` and `SpritePickingBackend` do not have the
`Plugin` suffix
- `DefaultPickingPlugins` is masquerading as a `Plugin` when in reality
it should be a `PluginGroup`
- Fixes#16081.
## Solution
- Rename some structures:
|Original Name|New Name|
|-|-|
|`MeshPickingBackend`|`MeshPickingPlugin`|
|`MeshPickingBackendSettings`|`MeshPickingSettings`|
|`SpritePickingBackend`|`SpritePickingPlugin`|
|`UiPickingBackendPlugin`|`UiPickingPlugin`|
- Make `DefaultPickingPlugins` a `PluginGroup`.
- Because `DefaultPickingPlugins` is within the `DefaultPlugins` plugin
group, I also added support for nested plugin groups to the
`plugin_group!` macro.
## Testing
- I used ripgrep to ensure all references were properly renamed.
- For the `plugin_group!` macro, I used `cargo expand` to manually
inspect the expansion of `DefaultPlugins`.
---
## Migration Guide
> [!NOTE]
>
> All 3 of the changed structures were added after 0.14, so this does
not need to be included in the 0.14 to 0.15 migration guide.
- `MeshPickingBackend` is now named `MeshPickingPlugin`.
- `MeshPickingBackendSettings` is now named `MeshPickingSettings`.
- `SpritePickingBackend` is now named `SpritePickingPlugin`.
- `UiPickingBackendPlugin` is now named `UiPickingPlugin`.
- `DefaultPickingPlugins` is now a a `PluginGroup` instead of a
`Plugin`.
# Objective
- closes#15866
## Solution
- Simply migrate where possible.
## Testing
- Expect that CI will do most of the work. Examples is another way of
testing this, as most of the work is in that area.
---
## Notes
For now, this PR doesn't migrate `QueryState::single` and friends as for
now, this look like another issue. So for example, QueryBuilders that
used single or `World::query` that used single wasn't migrated. If there
is a easy way to migrate those, please let me know.
Most of the uses of `Query::single` were removed, the only other uses
that I found was related to tests of said methods, so will probably be
removed when we remove `Query::single`.
# Objective
- Closes#15752
Calling the functions `App::observe` and `World::observe` doesn't make
sense because you're not "observing" the `App` or `World`, you're adding
an observer that listens for an event that occurs *within* the `World`.
We should rename them to better fit this.
## Solution
Renames:
- `App::observe` -> `App::add_observer`
- `World::observe` -> `World::add_observer`
- `Commands::observe` -> `Commands::add_observer`
- `EntityWorldMut::observe_entity` -> `EntityWorldMut::observe`
(Note this isn't a breaking change as the original rename was introduced
earlier this cycle.)
## Testing
Reusing current tests.
# Objective
Relevant: #15208
## Solution
I went ahead and added the variadics documentation in all applicable
locations.
## Testing
- I built the documentation and inspected it to see whether the feature
is there.
# Objective
Fixes#15367.
Currently, required components can only be defined through the `require`
macro attribute. While this should be used in most cases, there are also
several instances where you may want to define requirements at runtime,
commonly in plugins.
Example use cases:
- Require components only if the relevant optional plugins are enabled.
For example, a `SleepTimer` component (for physics) is only relevant if
the `SleepPlugin` is enabled.
- Third party crates can define their own requirements for first party
types. For example, "each `Handle<Mesh>` should require my custom
rendering data components". This also gets around the orphan rule.
- Generic plugins that add marker components based on the existence of
other components, like a generic `ColliderPlugin<C: AnyCollider>` that
wants to add a `ColliderMarker` component for all types of colliders.
- This is currently relevant for the retained render world in #15320.
The `ExtractComponentPlugin<C>` should add `SyncToRenderWorld` to all
components that should be extracted. This is currently done with
observers, which is more expensive than required components, and causes
archetype moves.
- Replace some built-in components with custom versions. For example, if
`GlobalTransform` required `Transform` through `TransformPlugin`, but we
wanted to use a `CustomTransform` type, we could replace
`TransformPlugin` with our own plugin. (This specific example isn't
good, but there are likely better use cases where this may be useful)
See #15367 for more in-depth reasoning.
## Solution
Add `register_required_components::<T, R>` and
`register_required_components_with::<T, R>` methods for `Default` and
custom constructors respectively. These methods exist on `App` and
`World`.
```rust
struct BirdPlugin;
impl Plugin for BirdPlugin {
fn plugin(app: &mut App) {
// Make `Bird` require `Wings` with a `Default` constructor.
app.register_required_components::<Bird, Wings>();
// Make `Wings` require `FlapSpeed` with a custom constructor.
// Fun fact: Some hummingbirds can flutter their wings 80 times per second!
app.register_required_components_with::<Wings, FlapSpeed>(|| FlapSpeed::from_duration(1.0 / 80.0));
}
}
```
The custom constructor is a function pointer to match the `require` API,
though it could take a raw value too.
Requirement inheritance works similarly as with the `require` attribute.
If `Bird` required `FlapSpeed` directly, it would take precedence over
indirectly requiring it through `Wings`. The same logic applies to all
levels of the inheritance tree.
Note that registering the same component requirement more than once will
panic, similarly to trying to add multiple component hooks of the same
type to the same component. This avoids constructor conflicts and
confusing ordering issues.
### Implementation
Runtime requirements have two additional challenges in comparison to the
`require` attribute.
1. The `require` attribute uses recursion and macros with clever
ordering to populate hash maps of required components for each component
type. The expected semantics are that "more specific" requirements
override ones deeper in the inheritance tree. However, at runtime, there
is no representation of how "specific" each requirement is.
2. If you first register the requirement `X -> Y`, and later register `Y
-> Z`, then `X` should also indirectly require `Z`. However, `Y` itself
doesn't know that it is required by `X`, so it's not aware that it
should update the list of required components for `X`.
My solutions to these problems are:
1. Store the depth in the inheritance tree for each entry of a given
component's `RequiredComponents`. This is used to determine how
"specific" each requirement is. For `require`-based registration, these
depths are computed as part of the recursion.
2. Store and maintain a `required_by` list in each component's
`ComponentInfo`, next to `required_components`. For `require`-based
registration, these are also added after each registration, as part of
the recursion.
When calling `register_required_components`, it works as follows:
1. Get the required components of `Foo`, and check that `Bar` isn't
already a *direct* requirement.
3. Register `Bar` as a required component for `Foo`, and add `Foo` to
the `required_by` list for `Bar`.
4. Find and register all indirect requirements inherited from `Bar`,
adding `Foo` to the `required_by` list for each component.
5. Iterate through components that require `Foo`, registering the new
inherited requires for them as indirect requirements.
The runtime registration is likely slightly more expensive than the
`require` version, but it is a one-time cost, and quite negligible in
practice, unless projects have hundreds or thousands of runtime
requirements. I have not benchmarked this however.
This does also add a small amount of extra cost to the `require`
attribute for updating `required_by` lists, but I expect it to be very
minor.
## Testing
I added some tests that are copies of the `require` versions, as well as
some tests that are more specific to the runtime implementation. I might
add a few more tests though.
## Discussion
- Is `register_required_components` a good name? Originally I went for
`register_component_requirement` to be consistent with
`register_component_hooks`, but the general feature is often referred to
as "required components", which is why I changed it to
`register_required_components`.
- Should we *not* panic for duplicate requirements? If so, should they
just be ignored, or should the latest registration overwrite earlier
ones?
- If we do want to panic for duplicate, conflicting registrations,
should we at least not panic if the registrations are *exactly* the
same, i.e. same component and same constructor? The current
implementation panics for all duplicate direct registrations regardless
of the constructor.
## Next Steps
- Allow `register_required_components` to take a `Bundle` instead of a
single required component.
- I could also try to do it in this PR if that would be preferable.
- Not directly related, but archetype invariants?
# Objective
- Fixes#6370
- Closes#6581
## Solution
- Added the following lints to the workspace:
- `std_instead_of_core`
- `std_instead_of_alloc`
- `alloc_instead_of_core`
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [item level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Item%5C%3A)
to split all `use` statements into single items.
- Used `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features --fix
--allow-dirty` to _attempt_ to resolve the new linting issues, and
intervened where the lint was unable to resolve the issue automatically
(usually due to needing an `extern crate alloc;` statement in a crate
root).
- Manually removed certain uses of `std` where negative feature gating
prevented `--all-features` from finding the offending uses.
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [crate level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Crate%5C%3A)
to re-merge all `use` statements matching Bevy's previous styling.
- Manually fixed cases where the `fmt` tool could not re-merge `use`
statements due to conditional compilation attributes.
## Testing
- Ran CI locally
## Migration Guide
The MSRV is now 1.81. Please update to this version or higher.
## Notes
- This is a _massive_ change to try and push through, which is why I've
outlined the semi-automatic steps I used to create this PR, in case this
fails and someone else tries again in the future.
- Making this change has no impact on user code, but does mean Bevy
contributors will be warned to use `core` and `alloc` instead of `std`
where possible.
- This lint is a critical first step towards investigating `no_std`
options for Bevy.

# Objective
- Fixes#14924
- Closes#9584
## Solution
- We introduce a new trait, `SystemInput`, that serves as a type
function from the `'static` form of the input, to its lifetime'd
version, similarly to `SystemParam` or `WorldQuery`.
- System functions now take the lifetime'd wrapped version,
`SystemInput::Param<'_>`, which prevents the issue presented in #14924
(i.e. `InRef<T>`).
- Functions for running systems now take the lifetime'd unwrapped
version, `SystemInput::Inner<'_>` (i.e. `&T`).
- Due to the above change, system piping had to be re-implemented as a
standalone type, rather than `CombinatorSystem` as it was previously.
- Removes the `Trigger<'static, E, B>` transmute in observer runner
code.
## Testing
- All current tests pass.
- Added additional tests and doc-tests.
---
## Showcase
```rust
let mut world = World::new();
let mut value = 2;
// Currently possible:
fn square(In(input): In<usize>) -> usize {
input * input
}
value = world.run_system_once_with(value, square);
// Now possible:
fn square_mut(InMut(input): InMut<usize>) {
*input *= *input;
}
world.run_system_once_with(&mut value, square_mut);
// Or:
fn square_ref(InRef(input): InRef<usize>) -> usize {
*input * *input
}
value = world.run_system_once_with(&value, square_ref);
```
## Migration Guide
- All current explicit usages of the following types must be changed in
the way specified:
- `SystemId<I, O>` to `SystemId<In<I>, O>`
- `System<In = T>` to `System<In = In<T>>`
- `IntoSystem<I, O, M>` to `IntoSystem<In<I>, O, M>`
- `Condition<M, T>` to `Condition<M, In<T>>`
- `In<Trigger<E, B>>` is no longer a valid input parameter type. Use
`Trigger<E, B>` directly, instead.

# Objective
> Rust 1.81 released the #[expect(...)] attribute, which works like
#[allow(...)] but throws a warning if the lint isn't raised. This is
preferred to #[allow(...)] because it tells us when it can be removed.
- Adopts the parts of #15118 that are complete, and updates the branch
so it can be merged.
- There were a few conflicts, let me know if I misjudged any of 'em.

# Objective
- Crate-level prelude modules, such as `bevy_ecs::prelude`, are plagued
with inconsistency! Let's fix it!
## Solution
Format all preludes based on the following rules:
1. All preludes should have brief documentation in the format of:
> The _name_ prelude.
>
> This includes the most common types in this crate, re-exported for
your convenience.
2. All documentation should be outer, not inner. (`///` instead of
`//!`.)
3. No prelude modules should be annotated with `#[doc(hidden)]`. (Items
within them may, though I'm not sure why this was done.)
## Testing
- I manually searched for the term `mod prelude` and updated all
occurrences by hand. 🫠

# Objective
As discussed in https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/7386, system
order ambiguities within `DefaultPlugins` are a source of bugs in the
engine and badly pollute diagnostic output for users.
We should eliminate them!
This PR is an alternative to #15027: with all external ambiguities
silenced, this should be much less prone to merge conflicts and the test
output should be much easier for authors to understand.
Note that system order ambiguities are still permitted in the
`RenderApp`: these need a bit of thought in terms of how to test them,
and will be fairly involved to fix. While these aren't *good*, they'll
generally only cause graphical bugs, not logic ones.
## Solution
All remaining system order ambiguities have been resolved.
Review this PR commit-by-commit to see how each of these problems were
fixed.
## Testing
`cargo run --example ambiguity_detection` passes with no panics or
logging!
# Objective
- Fixes#14974
## Solution
- Replace all* instances of `NonZero*` with `NonZero<*>`
## Testing
- CI passed locally.
---
## Notes
Within the `bevy_reflect` implementations for `std` types,
`impl_reflect_value!()` will continue to use the type aliases instead,
as it inappropriately parses the concrete type parameter as a generic
argument. If the `ZeroablePrimitive` trait was stable, or the macro
could be modified to accept a finite list of types, then we could fully
migrate.
# Objective
- Fixes#14658.
## Solution
- Added `on_unimplemented` Diagnostic for `IntoObserverSystem` calling
out argument ordering in a `note`
- Added an example to the documentation on `App::observe` to provide
some explanation to users.
## Testing
- Ran CI locally
- Deliberately introduced a parameter order error in the
`ecs/observers.rs` example as a test.

# Objective
- Fixes#14873, see that issue for a whole lot of context
## Solution
- Add a blessed system set for this stuff. See [this Discord
discussion](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/749335865876021248/1276262931327094908).
Note that the gizmo systems,
[LWIM](https://github.com/Leafwing-Studios/leafwing-input-manager/pull/522/files#diff-9b59ee4899ad0a5d008889ea89a124a7291316532e42f9f3d6ae842b906fb095R154)
and now a new plugin I'm working on are all already ordering against
`run_fixed_main_schedule`, so having a dedicated system set should be
more robust and hopefully also more discoverable.
---
## ~~Showcase~~
~~I can add a little video of a smooth camera later if this gets merged
:)~~
Apparently a release note is not needed, so I'll leave it out. See the
changes in the fixed timestep example for usage showcase and the video
in #14873 for a more or less accurate video of the effect (it does not
use the same solution though, so it is not quite the same)
## Migration Guide
[run_fixed_main_schedule](https://docs.rs/bevy/latest/bevy/time/fn.run_fixed_main_schedule.html)
is no longer public. If you used to order against it, use the new
dedicated `RunFixedMainLoopSystem` system set instead. You can replace
your usage of `run_fixed_main_schedule` one for one by
`RunFixedMainLoopSystem::FixedMainLoop`, but it is now more idiomatic to
place your systems in either
`RunFixedMainLoopSystem::BeforeFixedMainLoop` or
`RunFixedMainLoopSystem::AfterFixedMainLoop`
Old:
```rust
app.add_systems(
RunFixedMainLoop,
some_system.before(run_fixed_main_schedule)
);
```
New:
```rust
app.add_systems(
RunFixedMainLoop,
some_system.in_set(RunFixedMainLoopSystem::BeforeFixedMainLoop)
);
```

# Objective
Fixes#14782
## Solution
Enable the lint and fix all upcoming hints (`--fix`). Also tried to
figure out the false-positive (see review comment). Maybe split this PR
up into multiple parts where only the last one enables the lint, so some
can already be merged resulting in less many files touched / less
potential for merge conflicts?
Currently, there are some cases where it might be easier to read the
code with the qualifier, so perhaps remove the import of it and adapt
its cases? In the current stage it's just a plain adoption of the
suggestions in order to have a base to discuss.
## Testing
`cargo clippy` and `cargo run -p ci` are happy.
# Objective
One of the changes in #14704 made `DynamicFunction` effectively the same
as `DynamicClosure<'static>`. This change meant that the de facto
function type would likely be `DynamicClosure<'static>` instead of the
intended `DynamicFunction`, since the former is much more flexible.
We _could_ explore ways of making `DynamicFunction` implement `Copy`
using some unsafe code, but it likely wouldn't be worth it. And users
would likely still reach for the convenience of
`DynamicClosure<'static>` over the copy-ability of `DynamicFunction`.
The goal of this PR is to fix this confusion between the two types.
## Solution
Firstly, the `DynamicFunction` type was removed. Again, it was no
different than `DynamicClosure<'static>` so it wasn't a huge deal to
remove.
Secondly, `DynamicClosure<'env>` and `DynamicClosureMut<'env>` were
renamed to `DynamicFunction<'env>` and `DynamicFunctionMut<'env>`,
respectively.
Yes, we still ultimately kept the naming of `DynamicFunction`, but
changed its behavior to that of `DynamicClosure<'env>`. We need a term
to refer to both functions and closures, and "function" was the best
option.
[Originally](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1002362493634629796/1274091992162242710),
I was going to go with "callable" as the replacement term to encompass
both functions and closures (e.g. `DynamciCallable<'env>`). However, it
was
[suggested](https://discord.com/channels/691052431525675048/1002362493634629796/1274653581777047625)
by @SkiFire13 that the simpler "function" term could be used instead.
While "callable" is perhaps the better umbrella term—being truly
ambiguous over functions and closures— "function" is more familiar, used
more often, easier to discover, and is subjectively just
"better-sounding".
## Testing
Most changes are purely swapping type names or updating documentation,
but you can verify everything still works by running the following
command:
```
cargo test --package bevy_reflect
```
# Objective
#14098 added the `FunctionRegistry` for registering functions such that
they can be retrieved by name and used dynamically. One thing we chose
to leave out in that initial PR is support for closures.
Why support closures? Mainly, we don't want to prohibit users from
injecting environmental data into their registered functions. This
allows these functions to not leak their internals to the public API.
For example, let's say we're writing a library crate that allows users
to register callbacks for certain actions. We want to perform some
actions before invoking the user's callback so we can't just call it
directly. We need a closure for this:
```rust
registry.register("my_lib::onclick", move |event: ClickEvent| {
// ...other work...
user_onclick.call(event); // <-- Captured variable
});
```
We could have made our callback take a reference to the user's callback.
This would remove the need for the closure, but it would change our
desired API to place the burden of fetching the correct callback on the
caller.
## Solution
Modify the `FunctionRegistry` to store registered functions as
`DynamicClosure<'static>` instead of `DynamicFunction` (now using
`IntoClosure` instead of `IntoFunction`).
Due to limitations in Rust and how function reflection works,
`DynamicClosure<'static>` is functionally equivalent to
`DynamicFunction`. And a normal function is considered a subset of
closures (it's a closure that doesn't capture anything), so there
shouldn't be any difference in usage: all functions that satisfy
`IntoFunction` should satisfy `IntoClosure`.
This means that the registration API introduced in #14098 should require
little-to-no changes on anyone following `main`.
### Closures vs Functions
One consideration here is whether we should keep closures and functions
separate.
This PR unifies them into `DynamicClosure<'static>`, but we can consider
splitting them up. The reasons we might want to do so are:
- Simplifies mental model and terminology (users don't have to
understand that functions turn into closures)
- If Rust ever improves its function model, we may be able to add
additional guarantees to `DynamicFunction` that make it useful to
separate the two
- Adding support for generic functions may be less confusing for users
since closures in Rust technically can't be generic
The reasons behind this PR's unification approach are:
- Reduces the number of methods needed on `FunctionRegistry`
- Reduces the number of lookups a user may have to perform (i.e.
"`get_function` or else `get_closure`")
- Establishes `DynamicClosure<'static>` as the de facto dynamic callable
(similar to how most APIs in Rust code tend to prefer `impl Fn() ->
String` over `fn() -> String`)
I'd love to hear feedback on this matter, and whether we should continue
with this PR's approach or switch to a split model.

## Showcase
Closures can now be registered into the `FunctionRegistry`:
```rust
let punct = String::from("!!!");
registry.register_with_name("my_crate::punctuate", move |text: String| {
format!("{}{}", text, punct)
});
```
# Objective
### TL;DR
#14098 added the `FunctionRegistry` but had some last minute
complications due to anonymous functions. It ended up going with a
"required name" approach to ensure anonymous functions would always have
a name.
However, this approach isn't ideal for named functions since, by
definition, they will always have a name.
Therefore, this PR aims to modify function reflection such that we can
make function registration easier for named functions, while still
allowing anonymous functions to be registered as well.
### Context
Function registration (#14098) ran into a little problem: anonymous
functions.
Anonymous functions, including function pointers, have very non-unique
type names. For example, the anonymous function `|a: i32, b: i32| a + b`
has the type name of `fn(i32, i32) -> i32`. This obviously means we'd
conflict with another function like `|a: i32, b: i32| a - b`.
The solution that #14098 landed on was to always require a name during
function registration.
The downside with this is that named functions (e.g. `fn add(a: i32, b:
i32) -> i32 { a + b }`) had to redundantly provide a name. Additionally,
manually constructed `DynamicFunction`s also ran into this ergonomics
issue.
I don't entirely know how the function registry will be used, but I have
a strong suspicion that most of its registrations will either be named
functions or manually constructed `DynamicFunction`s, with anonymous
functions only being used here and there for quick prototyping or adding
small functionality.
Why then should the API prioritize the anonymous function use case by
always requiring a name during registration?
#### Telling Functions Apart
Rust doesn't provide a lot of out-of-the-box tools for reflecting
functions. One of the biggest hurdles in attempting to solve the problem
outlined above would be to somehow tell the different kinds of functions
apart.
Let's briefly recap on the categories of functions in Rust:
| Category | Example |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
| Named function | `fn add(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 { a + b }` |
| Closure | `\|a: i32\| a + captured_variable` |
| Anonymous function | `\|a: i32, b: i32\| a + b` |
| Function pointer | `fn(i32, i32) -> i32` |
My first thought was to try and differentiate these categories based on
their size. However, we can see that this doesn't quite work:
| Category | `size_of` |
| ------------------ | --------- |
| Named function | 0 |
| Closure | 0+ |
| Anonymous function | 0 |
| Function pointer | 8 |
Not only does this not tell anonymous functions from named ones, but it
struggles with pretty much all of them.
My second then was to differentiate based on type name:
| Category | `type_name` |
| ------------------ | ----------------------- |
| Named function | `foo::bar::baz` |
| Closure | `foo::bar::{{closure}}` |
| Anonymous function | `fn() -> String` |
| Function pointer | `fn() -> String` |
This is much better. While it can't distinguish between function
pointers and anonymous functions, this doesn't matter too much since we
only care about whether we can _name_ the function.
So why didn't we implement this in #14098?
#### Relying on `type_name`
While this solution was known about while working on #14098, it was left
out from that PR due to it being potentially controversial.
The [docs](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/any/fn.type_name.html)
for `std::any::type_name` state:
> The returned string must not be considered to be a unique identifier
of a type as multiple types may map to the same type name. Similarly,
there is no guarantee that all parts of a type will appear in the
returned string: for example, lifetime specifiers are currently not
included. In addition, the output may change between versions of the
compiler.
So that's it then? We can't use `type_name`?
Well, this statement isn't so much a rule as it is a guideline. And Bevy
is no stranger to bending the rules to make things work or to improve
ergonomics. Remember that before `TypePath`, Bevy's scene system was
entirely dependent on `type_name`. Not to mention that `type_name` is
being used as a key into both the `TypeRegistry` and the
`FunctionRegistry`.
Bevy's practices aside, can we reliably use `type_name` for this?
My answer would be "yes".
Anonymous functions are anonymous. They have no name. There's nothing
Rust could do to give them a name apart from generating a random string
of characters. But remember that this is a diagnostic tool, it doesn't
make sense to obfuscate the type by randomizing the output. So changing
it to be anything other than what it is now is very unlikely.
The only changes that I could potentially see happening are:
1. Closures replace `{{closure}}` with the name of their variable
2. Lifetimes are included in the output
I don't think the first is likely to happen, but if it does then it
actually works out in our favor: closures are now named!
The second point is probably the likeliest. However, adding lifetimes
doesn't mean we can't still rely on `type_name` to determine whether or
not a function is named. So we should be okay in this case as well.
## Solution
Parse the `type_name` of the function in the `TypedFunction` impl to
determine if the function is named or anonymous.
This once again makes `FunctionInfo::name` optional. For manual
constructions of `DynamicFunction`, `FunctionInfo::named` or
``FunctionInfo::anonymous` can be used.
The `FunctionRegistry` API has also been reworked to account for this
change.
`FunctionRegistry::register` no longer takes a name and instead takes it
from the supplied function, returning a
`FunctionRegistrationError::MissingName` error if the name is `None`.
This also doubles as a replacement for the old
`FunctionRegistry::register_dynamic` method, which has been removed.
To handle anonymous functions, a `FunctionRegistry::register_with_name`
method has been added. This works in the same way
`FunctionRegistry::register` used to work before this PR.
The overwriting methods have been updated in a similar manner, with
modifications to `FunctionRegistry::overwrite_registration`, the removal
of `FunctionRegistry::overwrite_registration_dynamic`, and the addition
of `FunctionRegistry::overwrite_registration_with_name`.
This PR also updates the methods on `App` in a similar way:
`App::register_function` no longer requires a name argument and
`App::register_function_with_name` has been added to handle anonymous
functions (and eventually closures).

## Internal Migration Guide
> [!important]
> Function reflection was introduced as part of the 0.15 dev cycle. This

cycle, and is not a breaking change coming from 0.14.

important changes.
`FunctionRegistry::register` no longer requires a name string for named
functions. Anonymous functions, however, need to be registered using
`FunctionRegistry::register_with_name`.
```rust
// BEFORE
registry
.register(std::any::type_name_of_val(&foo), foo)?
.register("bar", || println!("Hello world!"));
// AFTER
registry
.register(foo)?
.register_with_name("bar", || println!("Hello world!"));
```
`FunctionInfo::name` is now optional. Anonymous functions and closures
will now have their name set to `None` by default. Additionally,
`FunctionInfo::new` has been renamed to `FunctionInfo::named`.
# Objective
When looking at documentation for the `Update` schedule, its not
entirely obvious that developers should actually be using the
`FixedUpdate` schedule for most of their game logic. We should directly
cross-link between the two, and give examples of which systems to put in
which schedules.
## Solution
Do just that.
# Objective
#13152 added support for reflecting functions. Now, we need a way to
register those functions such that they may be accessed anywhere within
the ECS.
## Solution
Added a `FunctionRegistry` type similar to `TypeRegistry`.
This allows a function to be registered and retrieved by name.
```rust
fn foo() -> i32 {
123
}
let mut registry = FunctionRegistry::default();
registry.register("my_function", foo);
let function = registry.get_mut("my_function").unwrap();
let value = function.call(ArgList::new()).unwrap().unwrap_owned();
assert_eq!(value.downcast_ref::<i32>(), Some(&123));
```
Additionally, I added an `AppFunctionRegistry` resource which wraps a
`FunctionRegistryArc`. Functions can be registered into this resource
using `App::register_function` or by getting a mutable reference to the
resource itself.
### Limitations
#### `Send + Sync`
In order to get this registry to work across threads, it needs to be
`Send + Sync`. This means that `DynamicFunction` needs to be `Send +
Sync`, which means that its internal function also needs to be `Send +
Sync`.
In most cases, this won't be an issue because standard Rust functions
(the type most likely to be registered) are always `Send + Sync`.
Additionally, closures tend to be `Send + Sync` as well, granted they
don't capture any `!Send` or `!Sync` variables.
This PR adds this `Send + Sync` requirement, but as mentioned above, it
hopefully shouldn't be too big of an issue.
#### Closures
Unfortunately, closures can't be registered yet. This will likely be
explored and added in a followup PR.
### Future Work
Besides addressing the limitations listed above, another thing we could
look into is improving the lookup of registered functions. One aspect is
in the performance of hashing strings. The other is in the developer
experience of having to call `std::any::type_name_of_val` to get the
name of their function (assuming they didn't give it a custom name).

`DynamicFunction` (both those created manually and those created with
`IntoFunction`), now require `Send + Sync`. All standard Rust functions
should meet that requirement. Closures, on the other hand, may not if
they capture any `!Send` or `!Sync` variables from its environment.
