GitLab now enforces expiry dates on tokens that originally had no set expiration date. Those tokens were given an expiration date of one year later. Please review your personal access tokens, project access tokens, and group access tokens to ensure you are aware of upcoming expirations. Administrators of GitLab can find more information on how to identify and mitigate interruption in our documentation.
This MR refactors the type system to avoid multiple creation of data type instances by caching them. This improves the performance of comparing types, avoids unnecessary copies, and increases general efficiency of data type handling.
Introduce the metaclass PsTypeMeta which keeps track of all existing instances of subclasses of PsType, and alters class instantiation to return existing instances instead of creating new ones
Refactor __eq__ and __hash__, which are now implemented in PsType and use an __args__ method implemented by each instantiable subclass
Fix constify/deconstify to no longer copy their arguments, but memoize their return values
Refactor and extend documentation of the type system to reflect the changes
Some minor additions come along:
Move create_type from types.quick to types.parsing
Rename types.basic_types to types.types
Move PsType, constify and deconstify to types.meta
Add an inheritance diagram to the type system documentation
