This commit enhances the `CompileFn`, which is used to process each
entry-point, to support running a passed-in callback (and wait for it to
complete) before proceeding with writing the transformed files to disk.
This functionality is currently not used. In a subsequent commit, it
will be used for passing info from worker processes to the master
process that will allow ngcc to recover when a worker process crashes in
the middle of processing a task.
PR Close#36626
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
to make it easier to navigate the code§:
* `execution/tasks`: specific helpers such as task completion handlers
* `execution/tasks/queues`: the `TaskQueue` implementations and helpers
PR Close#36083
`ngcc` supports both synchronous and asynchronous execution. The default
mode when using `ngcc` programmatically (which is how `@angular/cli` is
using it) is synchronous. When running `ngcc` from the command line
(i.e. via the `ivy-ngcc` script), it runs in async mode.
Previously, the work would be executed in the same way in both modes.
This commit improves the performance of `ngcc` in async mode by
processing tasks in parallel on multiple processes. It uses the Node.js
built-in [`cluster` module](https://nodejs.org/api/cluster.html) to
launch a cluster of Node.js processes and take advantage of multi-core
systems.
Preliminary comparisons indicate a 1.8x to 2.6x speed improvement when
processing the angular.io app (apparently depending on the OS, number of
available cores, system load, etc.). Further investigation is needed to
better understand these numbers and identify potential areas of
improvement.
