We were using `txn_id` as a way to identify the running stream. Now
things are cleaner so we can remove this “debug tool”. This class of
problems should not appear anymore. For the record, the biggest problem
was the following: It was possible to start multiple `stream`s at the
same time, and thus a stream could receive a response sent by another
stream. Since we no longer need to restart SlidingSync anymore (i.e. no
need to start multiple `stream`s at the same time), this problem should
not happen.
Prior to this patch, the `v4::Response`, aka the SlidingSync response,
was processed by the client and transformed into a `SyncResponse` into
`sync_once` before being passed to `handle_response`. Now it's done in
`handle_response`.
This is not mandatory _now_, but it will be helpful in a close future.
* chore: use RangeInclusive instead of raw start/end integers for ranges in sliding sync
* chore: have timeline_limit use a u32 instead of a Ruma UInt
* chore: Remove all the `Into<u32>` generics on timeline_limit and ranges APIs
* chore: introduce a `Bound` type alias for u32

This patch changes `SlidingSyncRoom` to move all its fields inside an
inner type `SlidingSyncRoom` behind an `Arc`, so that cloning is cheap,
and all clones are sharing the same state.
A `SlidingSyncList` has a state, which can be either `NotLoaded`,
`Preloaded`, `PartiallyLoaded`, or `FullyLoaded`.
A `SlidingSyncList` can be reset, either manually when
`SlidingSyncList::reset` is called, or when a range is updated for
example.
Resetting a list is modifying its state. Prior to this patch, the state
was set to `NotLoaded`. However, it's not entirely true. This patch
updates this behavior to the following rules:
* When the state is `NotLoaded`, it's kept at this state as nothing has
happened yet,
* When the state is `Preloaded`, the list is restored from the cache,
but nothing has happened yet too, so it's kept at this state,
* When the state is `PartiallyLoaded` or `FullyLoaded`, it means some
(or all) updates have been done, so the new state is `PartiallyLoaded`
after the reset.
The list' state is used mostly by the client to know whether a loader
should be prompted to the users. The ranges are modified when the
users scroll inside the room list for example: scrolling in the room
list doesn't imply the state should go to `NotLoaded`. Some data
have potentially be loaded, so changing the ranges should result in a
`PartiallyLoaded` state. It seems more logical once explained like this.
`invite_state` is managed when the Sliding Sync response is processed/
handled by the `Client`. Inside `SlidingSyncRoom`, it's not necessary to
maintain it.
This patch creates a constant to represent the
maximum number of timeline event to put in the cache:
`NUMBER_OF_TIMELINE_EVENTS_TO_KEEP_FOR_THE_CACHE`. Verbose, but easily
understandable.
This patch also renames a few variables.
This patch simplifies `SlidingSyncRoom::timeline_queue` from
```rust
Arc<RwLock<ObservableVector<SyncTimelineEvent>>>
```
to
```rust
Vector<SyncTimelineEvent>
```
First, we don't need to be observable. It's never observed since
it's private, and even privately, it's never observed, there is no
subscriber.
Second, no lock is required as updates happen synchronously.
Third, `Arc` is not necessary. We want each clone of `SlidingSyncRoom`
to not share any state across them.
Finally, this patch simplifies the iterator + `.push_back` by a simple
`.extend` to update the `timeline_queue`. Behind the scene, `impl Extend
for Vector` actually does an iterate + `.push_back`; let's keep our code
simple though.
`SlidingSyncRoom::is_cold` is not well-named. This patch introduces an
enum, named `SlidingSyncRoomState` which contains more detailed state:
`NotLoaded`, `Preloaded`, and `Loaded`.
The use of `AtomicBool` is also removed. Thus, we no longer need an
`Arc` for the state, which makes `Clone` more obvious: the state is not
shared across clones anymore.
A `SlidingSyncRoom` receives an Ruma
`api::client::sync::sync_events::v4:SlidingSyncRoom`. This value is
stored in the `SlidingSyncRoom::inner` field. From here, some getters
like `name()`, `is_dm()` etc. are using the `inner` field to compute a
result. There was one exception though: `prev_batch`. This value is part
of `v4::SlidingSyncRoom` but it was copied and updated in its own field:
`SlidingSyncRoom::prev_batch`.
I was wondering why. Turns out, there is no reason. Its getter
`prev_batch()` is public, but it's not used by the FFI bindings, so
basically nobody uses it (as this project is experimental as the time of
writing, we know our users).
This patch removes the `SlidingSyncRoom::prev_batch` field.
This patch also removes the `SlidingSyncRoom::prev_batch()` getter.
This patch finally removes the `FrozenSlidingSyncRoom::prev_batch` field
too.
Prior to this patch, to check a room exists, it was removed from the
collection, then re-added if it exists. Instead of doing this `remove`
+ `insert` dance, we can simply use `get_mut`, which also returns an
`Option`. This patch does that, in addition to rewrite the code to use a
`match` instead of a `if` + `else`.
