The original motivation for this commit was that shared_ptr_helper used
std::shared_ptr<>() which does two heap allocations instead of
make_shared<>() which does a single allocation. Turned out that
1. the affected code (--> Storages/) is not on a hot path (rendering the
performance argument moot ...)
2. yet copying Storage objects is potentially dangerous and was
previously allowed.
Hence, this change
- removes shared_ptr_helper and as a result all inherited create() methods,
- instead, Storage objects are now created using make_shared<>() by the
caller (for that to work, many constructors had to be made public), and
- all Storage classes were marked as noncopyable using boost::noncopyable.
In sum, we are (likely) not making things faster but the code becomes
cleaner and harder to misuse.
The following headers are pretty generic, so use forward declaration as
much as possible:
- Context.h
- Settings.h
- ConnectionTimeouts.h
(Also this shows that some missing some includes -- this has been fixed)
And split ConnectionTimeouts.h into ConnectionTimeoutsContext.h (since
module part cannot be added for it, due to recursive build dependencies
that will be introduced)
Also remove Settings from the RemoteBlockInputStream/RemoteQueryExecutor
and just pass the context, since settings was passed only in speicifc
places, that can allow making a copy of Context (i.e. Copier).
Approx results (How much units will be recompiled after changing file X?):
- ConnectionTimeouts.h
- mainline: 100
- Context.h:
- mainline: ~800
- patched: 415
- Settings.h:
- mainline: 900-1K
- patched: 440 (most of them because of the Context.h)
