# Objective
Fixes#15541
A bunch of lifetimes were added during the Assets V2 rework, but after
moving to async traits in #12550 they can be elided. That PR mentions
that this might be the case, but apparently it wasn't followed up on at
the time.
~~I ended up grepping for `<'a` and finding a similar case in
`bevy_reflect` which I also fixed.~~ (edit: that one was needed
apparently)
Note that elided lifetimes are unstable in `impl Trait`. If that gets
stabilized then we can elide even more.
## Solution
Remove the extra lifetimes.
## Testing
Everything still compiles. If I have messed something up there is a
small risk that some user code stops compiling, but all the examples
still work at least.
---
## Migration Guide
The traits `AssetLoader`, `AssetSaver` and `Process` traits from
`bevy_asset` now use elided lifetimes. If you implement these then
remove the named lifetime.
# 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
The `AssetReader` trait allows customizing the behavior of fetching
bytes for an `AssetPath`, and expects implementors to return `dyn
AsyncRead + AsyncSeek`. This gives implementors of `AssetLoader` great
flexibility to tightly integrate their asset loading behavior with the
asynchronous task system.
However, almost all implementors of `AssetLoader` don't use the async
functionality at all, and just call `AsyncReadExt::read_to_end(&mut
Vec<u8>)`. This is incredibly inefficient, as this method repeatedly
calls `poll_read` on the trait object, filling the vector 32 bytes at a
time. At my work we have assets that are hundreds of megabytes which
makes this a meaningful overhead.
## Solution
Turn the `Reader` type alias into an actual trait, with a provided
method `read_to_end`. This provided method should be more efficient than
the existing extension method, as the compiler will know the underlying
type of `Reader` when generating this function, which removes the
repeated dynamic dispatches and allows the compiler to make further
optimizations after inlining. Individual implementors are able to
override the provided implementation -- for simple asset readers that
just copy bytes from one buffer to another, this allows removing a large
amount of overhead from the provided implementation.
Now that `Reader` is an actual trait, I also improved the ergonomics for
implementing `AssetReader`. Currently, implementors are expected to box
their reader and return it as a trait object, which adds unnecessary
boilerplate to implementations. This PR changes that trait method to
return a pseudo trait alias, which allows implementors to return `impl
Reader` instead of `Box<dyn Reader>`. Now, the boilerplate for boxing
occurs in `ErasedAssetReader`.
## Testing
I made identical changes to my company's fork of bevy. Our app, which
makes heavy use of `read_to_end` for asset loading, still worked
properly after this. I am not aware if we have a more systematic way of
testing asset loading for correctness.
---
## Migration Guide
The trait method `bevy_asset::io::AssetReader::read` (and `read_meta`)
now return an opaque type instead of a boxed trait object. Implementors
of these methods should change the type signatures appropriately
```rust
impl AssetReader for MyReader {
// Before
async fn read<'a>(&'a self, path: &'a Path) -> Result<Box<Reader<'a>>, AssetReaderError> {
let reader = // construct a reader
Box::new(reader) as Box<Reader<'a>>
}
// After
async fn read<'a>(&'a self, path: &'a Path) -> Result<impl Reader + 'a, AssetReaderError> {
// create a reader
}
}
```
`bevy::asset::io::Reader` is now a trait, rather than a type alias for a
trait object. Implementors of `AssetLoader::load` will need to adjust
the method signature accordingly
```rust
impl AssetLoader for MyLoader {
async fn load<'a>(
&'a self,
// Before:
reader: &'a mut bevy::asset::io::Reader,
// After:
reader: &'a mut dyn bevy::asset::io::Reader,
_: &'a Self::Settings,
load_context: &'a mut LoadContext<'_>,
) -> Result<Self::Asset, Self::Error> {
}
```
Additionally, implementors of `AssetReader` that return a type
implementing `futures_io::AsyncRead` and `AsyncSeek` might need to
explicitly implement `bevy::asset::io::Reader` for that type.
```rust
impl bevy::asset::io::Reader for MyAsyncReadAndSeek {}
```
# Objective
As described in #12467, Bevy does not have any spans for any of the
tasks scheduled onto the IO and async compute task pools.
## Solution
Instrument all asset loads and asset processing. Since this change is
restricted to asset tasks, it does not completely solve #12467, but it
does mean we can record the asset path in the trace.
---
## Changelog
Tracing will now include spans for asset loading and asset processing.
# Objective
Fix Pr CI failing over dead code in tests and main branch CI failing
over a missing semicolon. Fixes#12620.
## Solution
Add dead_code annotations and a semicolon.
# Objective
Simplify implementing some asset traits without Box::pin(async move{})
shenanigans.
Fixes (in part) https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11308
## Solution
Use async-fn in traits when possible in all traits. Traits with return
position impl trait are not object safe however, and as AssetReader and
AssetWriter are both used with dynamic dispatch, you need a Boxed
version of these futures anyway.
In the future, Rust is [adding
](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2023/12/21/async-fn-rpit-in-traits.html)proc
macros to generate these traits automatically, and at some point in the
future dyn traits should 'just work'. Until then.... this seemed liked
the right approach given more ErasedXXX already exist, but, no clue if
there's plans here! Especially since these are public now, it's a bit of
an unfortunate API, and means this is a breaking change.
In theory this saves some performance when these traits are used with
static dispatch, but, seems like most code paths go through dynamic
dispatch, which boxes anyway.
I also suspect a bunch of the lifetime annotations on these function
could be simplified now as the BoxedFuture was often the only thing
returned which needed a lifetime annotation, but I'm not touching that
for now as traits + lifetimes can be so tricky.
This is a revival of
[pull/11362](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/11362) after a
spectacular merge f*ckup, with updates to the latest Bevy. Just to recap
some discussion:
- Overall this seems like a win for code quality, especially when
implementing these traits, but a loss for having to deal with ErasedXXX
variants.
- `ConditionalSend` was the preferred name for the trait that might be
Send, to deal with wasm platforms.
- When reviewing be sure to disable whitespace difference, as that's 95%
of the PR.
## Changelog
- AssetReader, AssetWriter, AssetLoader, AssetSaver and Process now use
async-fn in traits rather than boxed futures.
## Migration Guide
- Custom implementations of AssetReader, AssetWriter, AssetLoader,
AssetSaver and Process should switch to async fn rather than returning a
bevy_utils::BoxedFuture.
- Simultaniously, to use dynamic dispatch on these traits you should
instead use dyn ErasedXXX.
# Objective
Fixes#11298. Make the use of bevy_log vs bevy_utils::tracing more
consistent.
## Solution
Replace all uses of bevy_log's logging macros with the reexport from
bevy_utils. Remove bevy_log as a dependency where it's no longer needed
anymore.
Ideally we should just be using tracing directly, but given that all of
these crates are already using bevy_utils, this likely isn't that great
of a loss right now.
# Objective
Memory usage optimisation
## Solution
`HashMap` and `HashSet`'s keys are immutable. So using mutable types
like `String`, `Vec<T>`, or `PathBuf` as a key is a waste of memory:
they have an extra `usize` for their capacity and may have spare
capacity.
This PR replaces these types by their immutable equivalents `Box<str>`,
`Box<[T]>`, and `Box<Path>`.
For more context, I recommend watching the [Use Arc Instead of
Vec](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4cKi7PTJSs) video.

# Objective
When registering and preregistering asset loaders, there would be a
`warn!` if multiple asset loaders use a given extension, and an `info!`
if multiple asset loaders load the same asset type. Since both of these
situations are individually fine, it was decided that these messages
should be removed.
## Solution
Replace both of these messages with a new `warn!` that notes that if
multiple asset loaders share the same asset type _and_ share extensions,
that the loader must be specified in the `.meta` file for those assets
in order to solve the ambiguity. This is a more useful message, since it
notes when a user must take special action / consideration.
# Objective
- Fixes#11638
- See
[here](https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/issues/11638#issuecomment-1920508465)
for details on the cause of this issue.
## Solution
- Modified `AssetLoaders` to capture possibility of multiple
`AssetLoader` registrations operating on the same `Asset` type, but
different extensions.
- Added an algorithm which will attempt to resolve via `AssetLoader`
name, then `Asset` type, then by extension. If at any point multiple
loaders fit a particular criteria, the next criteria is used as a tie
breaker.
