tracing_core/callsite.rs
1//! Callsites represent the source locations from which spans or events
2//! originate.
3//!
4//! # What Are Callsites?
5//!
6//! Every span or event in `tracing` is associated with a [`Callsite`]. A
7//! callsite is a small `static` value that is responsible for the following:
8//!
9//! * Storing the span or event's [`Metadata`],
10//! * Uniquely [identifying](Identifier) the span or event definition,
11//! * Caching the subscriber's [`Interest`][^1] in that span or event, to avoid
12//! re-evaluating filters.
13//!
14//! # Registering Callsites
15//!
16//! When a span or event is recorded for the first time, its callsite
17//! [`register`]s itself with the global callsite registry. Registering a
18//! callsite calls the [`Subscriber::register_callsite`][`register_callsite`]
19//! method with that callsite's [`Metadata`] on every currently active
20//! subscriber. This serves two primary purposes: informing subscribers of the
21//! callsite's existence, and performing static filtering.
22//!
23//! ## Callsite Existence
24//!
25//! If a [`Subscriber`] implementation wishes to allocate storage for each
26//! unique span/event location in the program, or pre-compute some value
27//! that will be used to record that span or event in the future, it can
28//! do so in its [`register_callsite`] method.
29//!
30//! ## Performing Static Filtering
31//!
32//! The [`register_callsite`] method returns an [`Interest`] value,
33//! which indicates that the subscriber either [always] wishes to record
34//! that span or event, [sometimes] wishes to record it based on a
35//! dynamic filter evaluation, or [never] wishes to record it.
36//!
37//! When registering a new callsite, the [`Interest`]s returned by every
38//! currently active subscriber are combined, and the result is stored at
39//! each callsite. This way, when the span or event occurs in the
40//! future, the cached [`Interest`] value can be checked efficiently
41//! to determine if the span or event should be recorded, without
42//! needing to perform expensive filtering (i.e. calling the
43//! [`Subscriber::enabled`] method every time a span or event occurs).
44//!
45//! ### Rebuilding Cached Interest
46//!
47//! When a new [`Dispatch`] is created (i.e. a new subscriber becomes
48//! active), any previously cached [`Interest`] values are re-evaluated
49//! for all callsites in the program. This way, if the new subscriber
50//! will enable a callsite that was not previously enabled, the
51//! [`Interest`] in that callsite is updated. Similarly, when a
52//! subscriber is dropped, the interest cache is also re-evaluated, so
53//! that any callsites enabled only by that subscriber are disabled.
54//!
55//! In addition, the [`rebuild_interest_cache`] function in this module can be
56//! used to manually invalidate all cached interest and re-register those
57//! callsites. This function is useful in situations where a subscriber's
58//! interest can change, but it does so relatively infrequently. The subscriber
59//! may wish for its interest to be cached most of the time, and return
60//! [`Interest::always`][always] or [`Interest::never`][never] in its
61//! [`register_callsite`] method, so that its [`Subscriber::enabled`] method
62//! doesn't need to be evaluated every time a span or event is recorded.
63//! However, when the configuration changes, the subscriber can call
64//! [`rebuild_interest_cache`] to re-evaluate the entire interest cache with its
65//! new configuration. This is a relatively costly operation, but if the
66//! configuration changes infrequently, it may be more efficient than calling
67//! [`Subscriber::enabled`] frequently.
68//!
69//! # Implementing Callsites
70//!
71//! In most cases, instrumenting code using `tracing` should *not* require
72//! implementing the [`Callsite`] trait directly. When using the [`tracing`
73//! crate's macros][macros] or the [`#[instrument]` attribute][instrument], a
74//! `Callsite` is automatically generated.
75//!
76//! However, code which provides alternative forms of `tracing` instrumentation
77//! may need to interact with the callsite system directly. If
78//! instrumentation-side code needs to produce a `Callsite` to emit spans or
79//! events, the [`DefaultCallsite`] struct provided in this module is a
80//! ready-made `Callsite` implementation that is suitable for most uses. When
81//! possible, the use of `DefaultCallsite` should be preferred over implementing
82//! [`Callsite`] for user types, as `DefaultCallsite` may benefit from
83//! additional performance optimizations.
