Summary of Changes

Hello @3AceShowHand, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request refactors the dynamicstream utility to provide more granular control over memory management settings. It separates the configuration of 'areas' (which define memory settings) from the addition of 'paths' within those areas. This change enhances the flexibility and maintainability of memory control within the dynamic stream by allowing area-specific settings to be registered and updated independently, ensuring these settings are correctly applied to all paths belonging to an area.

Highlights

  • Refactored DynamicStream API: Introduced new AddArea and RemoveArea methods to the DynamicStream interface and its implementations, allowing for explicit management of AreaSettings.
  • Simplified AddPath Signature: The AddPath method no longer accepts AreaSettings as an argument, as these settings are now configured and managed at the 'area' level via the new AddArea method.
  • Updated Memory Control Logic: The internal memControl mechanism now stores AreaSettings per area and applies them when paths are added to that area, ensuring consistent and flexible memory management.
  • Application-level Integration: Components like EventCollector and SubscriptionClient have been updated to utilize the new AddArea and RemoveArea methods, aligning with the refactored API.

🧠 New Feature in Public Preview: You can now enable Memory to help Gemini Code Assist learn from your team's feedback. This makes future code reviews more consistent and personalized to your project's style. Click here to enable Memory in your admin console.

Code Review

This pull request refactors the dynstream API to separate area management from path management by introducing AddArea and RemoveArea methods, and updating AddPath. This is a good design improvement that makes the API cleaner.

However, I've found a critical issue in the implementation of memory_control.go where pointers to stack variables are stored, which can lead to memory corruption. I've left detailed comments on how to fix this.

Additionally, I've pointed out a minor inefficiency in subscription_client.go where AddArea is called redundantly.

Please address the critical issue before merging.

The settings parameter is passed by value, so it's a local copy on the stack. Storing its address with as.settings.Store(&settings) on line 318 is incorrect as the pointer will be invalid after addArea returns. This can lead to memory corruption.

You should allocate settings on the heap before storing a pointer to it. For example:

	if as, ok := m.areaStatMap[area]; ok {
		// The `settings` is a copy on the stack, we can't store a pointer to it.
		// So we need to allocate a new one on the heap.
		s := new(AreaSettings)
		*s = settings
		as.settings.Store(s)
	}

critical

This function has a critical bug related to storing pointers to stack variables, which can lead to memory corruption.

  1. On line 357, areaStat.settings.Store(&settings) stores a pointer to settings, which is a local variable (a copy from the map). This pointer becomes invalid when addPathToArea returns.
  2. On line 352, newAreaMemStat is called with settings, which is also a local variable. The newAreaMemStat function also stores a pointer to its settings parameter, which is a copy on its own stack. This is also a bug.

To fix this, you need to ensure you are storing pointers to heap-allocated AreaSettings objects. For example, by using new(AreaSettings) before storing the pointer.

medium

The AddArea call is made for every subscription, but since the area is always 0 and the settings are the same, this is redundant. This will repeatedly overwrite the settings for area 0.

It would be cleaner to call AddArea once when the subscriptionClient is initialized, for example in NewSubscriptionClient, and remove this call from the Subscribe method.
