This finder is designed to only process entry-points that are reachable
by the program defined by a tsconfig.json file.
It is triggered by calling `mainNgcc()` with the `findEntryPointsFromTsConfigProgram`
option set to true. It is ignored if a `targetEntryPointPath` has been
provided as well.
It is triggered from the command line by adding the `--use-program-dependencies`
option, which is also ignored if the `--target` option has been provided.
Using this option can speed up processing in cases where there is a large
number of dependencies installed but only a small proportion of the
entry-points are actually imported into the application.

The commit adds support to the ngcc.config.js file for setting the
`retryAttempts` and `retryDelay` options for the `AsyncLocker`.
An integration test adds a new check for a timeout and actually uses the
ngcc.config.js to reduce the timeout time to prevent the test from taking
too long to complete.

Now that `ngcc/src/ngcc_options` imports `FileWriter` type, there is a
circular dependency detected by the `ts-circular-deps:check` lint check:
```
ngcc/src/ngcc_options.ts
→ ngcc/src/writing/file_writer.ts
→ ngcc/src/packages/entry_point_bundle.ts
→ ngcc/src/ngcc_options.ts
```
This commit moves the `PathMappings` type (and related helpers) to a
separate file to avoid the circular dependency.
NOTE:
The circular dependency was only with taking types into account. There
was no circular dependency for the actual (JS) code.

Previously, when running in parallel mode and a worker process crashed
while processing a task, it was not possible for ngcc to continue
without risking ending up with a corrupted entry-point and therefore it
exited with an error. This, for example, could happen when a worker
process received a `SIGKILL` signal, which was frequently observed in CI
environments. This was probably the result of Docker killing processes
due to increased memory pressure.
One factor that amplifies the problem under Docker (which is often used
in CI) is that it is not possible to distinguish between the available
CPU cores on the host machine and the ones made available to Docker
containers, thus resulting in ngcc spawning too many worker processes.
This commit addresses these issues in the following ways:
1. We take advantage of the fact that files are written to disk only
after an entry-point has been fully analyzed/compiled. The master
process can now determine whether a worker process has not yet
started writing files to disk (even if it was in the middle of
processing a task) and just put the task back into the tasks queue if
the worker process crashes.
2. The master process keeps track of the transformed files that a worker
process will attempt to write to disk. If the worker process crashes
while writing files, the master process can revert any changes and
put the task back into the tasks queue (without risking corruption).
3. When a worker process crashes while processing a task (which can be a
result of increased memory pressure or too many worker processes),
the master process will not try to re-spawn it. This way the number
or worker processes is gradually adjusted to a level that can be
accomodated by the system's resources.
Examples of ngcc being able to recover after a worker process crashed:
- While idling: https://circleci.com/gh/angular/angular/682197
- While compiling: https://circleci.com/gh/angular/angular/682209
- While writing files: https://circleci.com/gh/angular/angular/682267

Previously, ngcc would run in parallel mode (using the
`ClusterExecutor`) when there were at least 2 CPU cores (and all other
requirements where met). On systems with just 2 CPU cores, this meant
there would only be one worker process (since one CPU core is always
reserved for the master process). In these cases, the tasks would still
be processed serially (on the one worker process), but we would also pay
the overhead of communicating between the master and worker processes.
This commit fixes this by only running in parallel mode if there are
more than 2 CPU cores (i.e. at least 2 worker processes).

The current ngcc lock-file strategy spawns a new process in order to
capture a potential `SIGINT` and remove the lock-file. For more
information see #35861.
Previously, this unlocker process was spawned as soon as the `LockFile`
was instantiated in order to have it available as soon as possible
(given that spawning a process is an asynchronous operation). Since the
`LockFile` was instantiated and passed to the `Executor`, this meant
that an unlocker process was spawned for each cluster worker, when
running ngcc in parallel mode. These processes were not needed, since
the `LockFile` was not used in cluster workers, but we still had to pay
the overhead of each process' own memory and V8 instance.
(NOTE: This overhead was small compared to the memory consumed by ngcc's
normal operations, but still unnecessary.)
This commit avoids the extra processes by only spawning an unlocker
process when running on the cluster master process and not on worker
processes.

Previously ngcc never preserved whitespaces but this is at odds
with how the ViewEngine compiler works. In ViewEngine, library
templates are recompiled with the current application's tsconfig
settings, which meant that whitespace preservation could be set
in the application tsconfig file.
This commit allows ngcc to use the `preserveWhitespaces` setting
from tsconfig when compiling library templates. One should be aware
that this disallows different projects with different tsconfig settings
to share the same node_modules folder, with regard to whitespace
preservation. But this is already the case in the current ngcc since
this configuration is hard coded right now.

When computing the dependencies between packages which are not in
node_modules, we may need to rely upon path-mappings to find the path
to the imported entry-point.
This commit allows ngcc to use the path-mappings from a tsconfig
file to find dependencies. By default any tsconfig.json file in the directory
above the `basePath` is loaded but it is possible to use a path to a
specific file by providing the `tsConfigPath` property to mainNgcc,
or to turn off loading any tsconfig file by setting `tsConfigPath` to `null`.
At the command line this is controlled via the `--tsconfig` option.

When two entry-points overlap, ngcc may attempt to process some
files twice. Previously, when this occured ngcc would just exit with an
error preventing any other entry-points from being processed.
This commit changes ngcc so that if `errorOnFailedEntryPoint` is false, it will
simply log an error and continue to process entry-points. This is useful when
ngcc is processing the entire node_modules folder and there are some invalid
entry-points that the project doesn't actually use.
PR Close#36083
Previously, when an entry-point contained code that caused its compilation
to fail, ngcc would exit in the middle of processing, possibly leaving other
entry-points in a corrupt state.
This change adds a new `errorOnFailedEntryPoint` option to `mainNgcc` that
specifies whether ngcc should exit immediately or log an error and continue
processing other entry-points.
The default is `false` so that ngcc will not error but continue processing
as much as possible. This is useful in post-install hooks, and async CLI
integration, where we do not have as much control over which entry-points
should be processed.
The option is forced to true if the `targetEntryPointPath` is provided,
such as the sync integration with the CLI, since in that case it is targeting
an entry-point that will actually be used in the current project so we do want
ngcc to exit with an error at that point.
PR Close#36083
Later when we implement the ability to continue processing when tasks have
failed to compile, we will also need to avoid processing tasks that depend
upon the failed task.
This refactoring exposes this list of dependent tasks in a way that can be
used to skip processing of tasks that depend upon a failed task.
It also changes the blocking model of the parallel mode of operation so
that non-typings tasks are now blocked on their corresponding typings task.
Previously the non-typings tasks could be triggered to run in parallel to
the typings task, since they do not have a hard dependency on each other,
but this made it difficult to skip task correctly if the typings task failed,
since it was possible that a non-typings task was already in flight when
the typings task failed. The result of this is a small potential degradation
of performance in async parallel processing mode, in the rare cases that
there were not enough unblocked tasks to make use of all the available
workers.

Moving the definition of the `onTaskCompleted` callback into `mainNgcc()`
allows it to be configured based on options passed in there more easily.
This will be the case when we want to configure whether to log or throw
an error for tasks that failed to be processed successfully.
This commit also creates two new folders and moves the code around a bit

In some scenarios it is useful for the developer to indicate

file, and instead write a new one.

The `DirectoryWalkerEntryPointFinder` has to traverse the
entire node_modules library everytime it executes in order to
identify the entry-points that need to be processed. This is
very time consuming (several seconds for big projects on
Windows).
This commit changes the `DirectoryWalkerEntryPointFinder` to
use the `EntryPointManifest` to store the paths to entry-points
that were found when doing this initial node_modules traversal
in a file to be reused for subsequent calls.
This dramatically speeds up ngcc processing when it has been run once
already.

The previous implementation mixed up the management
of locking a piece of code (both sync and async) with the
management of writing and removing the lockFile that is

implementation to be replaced cleanly.

ngcc uses a lockfile to prevent two ngcc instances from executing at the

To support parallel CLI builds we instruct developers to pre-process
their node_modules via ngcc at the command line.
Despite doing this ngcc was still trying to set a lock when it was being

since they are not compiled by Angular for instance.
This commit checks whether a target package needs to be compiled
at all before attempting to set the lock.

The Angular CLI will continue to call ngcc on all possible packages, even if they
have already been processed by ngcc in a postinstall script.
In a parallel build environment, this was causing ngcc to complain that it was

This commit moves the check for whether the targeted package has been
processed outside the locked code section, since there is no issue with
multiple ngcc processes from doing this check.

ngcc computes a dependency graph of entry-points to ensure that
entry-points are processed in the correct order. Previously only the imports
in source files were analysed to determine the dependencies for each
entry-point.
This is not sufficient when an entry-point has a "type-only" dependency
- for example only importing an interface from another entry-point.
In this case the "type-only" import does not appear in the
source code. It only appears in the typings files. This can cause a
dependency to be missed on the entry-point.
This commit fixes this by additionally processing the imports in the
typings program, as well as the source program.
Note that these missing dependencies could cause unexpected flakes when
running ngcc in async mode on multiple processes due to the way that
ngcc caches files when they are first read from disk.
