// This comment describes the following:
//  1. the concept of class loader context (CLC) and its relation to classpath
//  2. how PackageManager constructs CLC from shared libraries and their dependencies
//  3. build-time vs. run-time CLC and why this matters for dexpreopt
//  4. manifest fixer: a tool that adds missing <uses-library> tags to the manifests
//  5. build system support for CLC
//
// 1. Class loader context
// -----------------------
//
// Java libraries and apps that have run-time dependency on other libraries should list the used
// libraries in their manifest (AndroidManifest.xml file). Each used library should be specified in
// a <uses-library> tag that has the library name and an optional attribute specifying if the
// library is optional or required. Required libraries are necessary for the library/app to run (it
// will fail at runtime if the library cannot be loaded), and optional libraries are used only if
// they are present (if not, the library/app can run without them).
//
// The libraries listed in <uses-library> tags are in the classpath of a library/app.
//
// Besides libraries, an app may also use another APK (for example in the case of split APKs), or
// anything that gets added by the app dynamically. In general, it is impossible to know at build
// time what the app may use at runtime. In the build system we focus on the known part: libraries.
//
// Class loader context (CLC) is a tree-like structure that describes class loader hierarchy. The
// build system uses CLC in a more narrow sense: it is a tree of libraries that represents
// transitive closure of all <uses-library> dependencies of a library/app. The top-level elements of
// a CLC are the direct <uses-library> dependencies specified in the manifest (aka. classpath). Each
// node of a CLC tree is a <uses-library> which may have its own <uses-library> sub-nodes.
//
// Because <uses-library> dependencies are, in general, a graph and not necessarily a tree, CLC may
// contain subtrees for the same library multiple times. In other words, CLC is the dependency graph
// "unfolded" to a tree. The duplication is only on a logical level, and the actual underlying class
// loaders are not duplicated (at runtime there is a single class loader instance for each library).
//
// Example: A has <uses-library> tags B, C and D; C has <uses-library tags> B and D;
//
//	      D has <uses-library> E; B and E have no <uses-library> dependencies. The CLC is:
//	A
//	├── B
//	├── C
//	│   ├── B
//	│   └── D
//	│       └── E
//	└── D
//	    └── E
//
// CLC defines the lookup order of libraries when resolving Java classes used by the library/app.
// The lookup order is important because libraries may contain duplicate classes, and the class is
// resolved to the first match.
//
// 2. PackageManager and "shared" libraries
// ----------------------------------------
//
// In order to load an APK at runtime, PackageManager (in frameworks/base) creates a CLC. It adds
// the libraries listed in the <uses-library> tags in the app's manifest as top-level CLC elements.
// For each of the used libraries PackageManager gets all its <uses-library> dependencies (specified
// as tags in the manifest of that library) and adds a nested CLC for each dependency. This process
// continues recursively until all leaf nodes of the constructed CLC tree are libraries that have no
// <uses-library> dependencies.
//
// PackageManager is aware only of "shared" libraries. The definition of "shared" here differs from
// its usual meaning (as in shared vs. static). In Android, Java "shared" libraries are those listed
// in /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml file. This file is installed on device. Each entry in it
// contains the name of a "shared" library, a path to its DEX jar file and a list of dependencies
// (other "shared" libraries that this one uses at runtime and specifies them in <uses-library> tags
// in its manifest).
//
// In other words, there are two sources of information that allow PackageManager to construct CLC
// at runtime: <uses-library> tags in the manifests and "shared" library dependencies in
// /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml.
//
// 3. Build-time and run-time CLC and dexpreopt
// --------------------------------------------
//
// CLC is needed not only when loading a library/app, but also when compiling it. Compilation may
// happen either on device (known as "dexopt") or during the build (known as "dexpreopt"). Since
// dexopt takes place on device, it has the same information as PackageManager (manifests and
// shared library dependencies). Dexpreopt, on the other hand, takes place on host and in a totally
// different environment, and it has to get the same information from the build system (see the
// section about build system support below).
//
// Thus, the build-time CLC used by dexpreopt and the run-time CLC used by PackageManager are
// the same thing, but computed in two different ways.
//
// It is important that build-time and run-time CLCs coincide, otherwise the AOT-compiled code
// created by dexpreopt will be rejected. In order to check the equality of build-time and
// run-time CLCs, the dex2oat compiler records build-time CLC in the *.odex files (in the
// "classpath" field of the OAT file header). To find the stored CLC, use the following command:
// `oatdump --oat-file=<FILE> | grep '^classpath = '`.
//
// Mismatch between build-time and run-time CLC is reported in logcat during boot (search with
// `logcat | grep -E 'ClassLoaderContext [a-z ]+ mismatch'`. Mismatch is bad for performance, as it
// forces the library/app to either be dexopted, or to run without any optimizations (e.g. the app's
// code may need to be extracted in memory from the APK, a very expensive operation).
//
// A <uses-library> can be either optional or required. From dexpreopt standpoint, required library
// must be present at build time (its absence is a build error). An optional library may be either
// present or absent at build time: if present, it will be added to the CLC, passed to dex2oat and
// recorded in the *.odex file; otherwise, if the library is absent, it will be skipped and not
// added to CLC. If there is a mismatch between built-time and run-time status (optional library is
// present in one case, but not the other), then the build-time and run-time CLCs won't match and
// the compiled code will be rejected. It is unknown at build time if the library will be present at
// runtime, therefore either including or excluding it may cause CLC mismatch.
//
// 4. Manifest fixer
// -----------------
//
// Sometimes <uses-library> tags are missing from the source manifest of a library/app. This may
// happen for example if one of the transitive dependencies of the library/app starts using another
// <uses-library>, and the library/app's manifest isn't updated to include it.
//
// Soong can compute some of the missing <uses-library> tags for a given library/app automatically
// as SDK libraries in the transitive dependency closure of the library/app. The closure is needed
// because a library/app may depend on a static library that may in turn depend on an SDK library,
// (possibly transitively via another library).
//
// Not all <uses-library> tags can be computed in this way, because some of the <uses-library>
// dependencies are not SDK libraries, or they are not reachable via transitive dependency closure.
// But when possible, allowing Soong to calculate the manifest entries is less prone to errors and
// simplifies maintenance. For example, consider a situation when many apps use some static library
// that adds a new <uses-library> dependency -- all the apps will have to be updated. That is
// difficult to maintain.
//
// Soong computes the libraries that need to be in the manifest as the top-level libraries in CLC.
// These libraries are passed to the manifest_fixer.
//
// All libraries added to the manifest should be "shared" libraries, so that PackageManager can look
// up their dependencies and reconstruct the nested subcontexts at runtime. There is no build check
// to ensure this, it is an assumption.
//
// 5. Build system support
// -----------------------
//
// In order to construct CLC for dexpreopt and manifest_fixer, the build system needs to know all
// <uses-library> dependencies of the dexpreopted library/app (including transitive dependencies).
// For each <uses-librarry> dependency it needs to know the following information:
//
//   - the real name of the <uses-library> (it may be different from the module name)
//   - build-time (on host) and run-time (on device) paths to the DEX jar file of the library
//   - whether this library is optional or required
//   - all <uses-library> dependencies
//
// Since the build system doesn't have access to the manifest contents (it cannot read manifests at
// the time of build rule generation), it is necessary to copy this information to the Android.bp
// and Android.mk files. For blueprints, the relevant properties are `uses_libs` and
// `optional_uses_libs`. For makefiles, relevant variables are `LOCAL_USES_LIBRARIES` and
// `LOCAL_OPTIONAL_USES_LIBRARIES`. It is preferable to avoid specifying these properties explicilty
// when they can be computed automatically by Soong (as the transitive closure of SDK library
// dependencies).
//
// Some of the Java libraries that are used as <uses-library> are not SDK libraries (they are
// defined as `java_library` rather than `java_sdk_library` in the Android.bp files). In order for
// the build system to handle them automatically like SDK libraries, it is possible to set a
// property `provides_uses_lib` or variable `LOCAL_PROVIDES_USES_LIBRARY` on the blueprint/makefile
// module of such library. This property can also be used to specify real library name in cases
// when it differs from the module name.
//
// Because the information from the manifests has to be duplicated in the Android.bp/Android.mk
// files, there is a danger that it may get out of sync. To guard against that, the build system
// generates a rule that checks the metadata in the build files against the contents of a manifest
// (verify_uses_libraries). The manifest can be available as a source file, or as part of a prebuilt
// APK. Note that reading the manifests at the Ninja stage of the build is fine, unlike the build
// rule generation phase.

// If this ClassLoaderContext matches one of the libraries to exclude then this returns (nil, true)
// to indicate that this context should be excluded from the containing list.
