The cached file-system was implemented to speed up ngcc
processing, but in reality most files are not accessed many times
and there is no noticeable degradation in speed by removing it.
Benchmarking `ngcc -l debug` for AIO on a local machine
gave a range of 196-236 seconds with the cache and 197-224
seconds without the cache.
Moreover, when running in parallel mode, ngcc has a separate
file cache for each process. This results in excess memory usage.
Notably the master process, which only does analysis of entry-points
holds on to up to 500Mb for AIO when using the cache compared to
only around 30Mb when not using the cache.
Finally, the file-system cache being incorrectly primed with file
contents before being processed has been the cause of a number
of bugs. For example https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/16860#issuecomment-614694269.

The change in e041ac6f0d
to support sending unlocker process output to the main ngcc
console output prevents messages require that the main process
relinquishes the event-loop to allow the `stdout.on()` handler to
run. This results in none of the messages being written when ngcc
is run in `--no-async` mode, and some messages failing to be
written if the main process is killed (e.g. ctrl-C).
It appears that the problem with Windows and detached processes
is known - see https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3596#issuecomment-250890218.
But in the meantime, this commit is a workaround, where non-Windows
`inherit` the main process `stdout` while on Windows it reverts
to the async handler approach, which is better than nothing.

Prior to this change, there was a problem while matching template attributes, which mistakenly took i18n attributes (that might be present in attrs array after template ones) into account. This commit updates the logic to avoid template attribute matching logic from entering the i18n section and as a result this also allows generating proper i18n attributes sections instead of keeping these attribute in plain form (with their values) in attribute arrays.

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.

For some reason (possibly related to async/await promises)

Previously, when we needed to detect whether a file is external to a
package, we only checked whether the relative path to the file from the
package's root started with `..`. This would detect external imports
when the packages were siblings (e.g. peer dependencies or hoisted to
the top of `node_modules/` by the package manager), but would fail to
detect imports from packages located in nested `node_modules/` as
external. For example, importing `node_modules/foo/node_modules/bar`
from a file in `node_modules/foo/` would be considered internal to the
`foo` package.
This could result in processing/analyzing more files than necessary.
More importantly it could lead to errors due to trying to analyze
non-Angular packages that were direct dependencies of Angular packages.
This commit fixes it by also verifying that the relative path to a file
does not start with `node_modules/`.

ngcc would always parse the files of the entry-point to compute

When the compiler needs to convert a type reference to a value
expression, it may encounter a type that refers to a namespaced symbol.
Such namespaces need to be handled specially as there's various forms
available. Consider a namespace named "ns":
1. One can refer to a namespace by itself: `ns`. A namespace is only
allowed to be used in a type position if it has been merged with a
class, but even if this is the case it may not be possible to convert
that type into a value expression depending on the import form. More
on this later (case a below)
2. One can refer to a type within the namespace: `ns.Foo`. An import
needs to be generated to `ns`, from which the `Foo` property can then
be read.
3. One can refer to a type in a nested namespace within `ns`:
`ns.Foo.Bar` and possibly even deeper nested. The value
representation is similar to case 2, but includes additional property
accesses.
The exact strategy of how to deal with these cases depends on the type
of import used. There's two flavors available:
a. A namespaced import like `import * as ns from 'ns';` that creates
a local namespace that is irrelevant to the import that needs to be
generated (as said import would be used instead of the original
import).
If the local namespace "ns" itself is referred to in a type position,
it is invalid to convert it into a value expression. Some JavaScript
libraries publish a value as default export using `export = MyClass;`
syntax, however it is illegal to refer to that value using "ns".
Consequently, such usage in a type position *must* be accompanied by
an `@Inject` decorator to provide an explicit token.
b. An explicit namespace declaration within a module, that can be
imported using a named import like `import {ns} from 'ns';` where the
"ns" module declares a namespace using `declare namespace ns {}`.
In this case, it's the namespace itself that needs to be imported,
after which any qualified references into the namespace are converted
into property accesses.
Before this change, support for namespaces in the type-to-value
conversion was limited and only worked correctly for a single qualified
name using a namespace import (case 2a). All other cases were either
producing incorrect code or would crash the compiler (case 1a).
Crashing the compiler is not desirable as it does not indicate where
the issue is. Moreover, the result of a type-to-value conversion is
irrelevant when an explicit injection token is provided using `@Inject`,
so referring to a namespace in a type position (case 1) could still be
valid.
This commit introduces logic to the type-to-value conversion to be able
to properly deal with all type references to namespaced symbols.

During static evaluation of expressions, the partial evaluator

When TypeScript downlevels ES2015+ code to ES5, it uses some helper
functions to emulate some ES2015+ features, such as spread syntax. The
TypeScript compiler can be configured to emit these helpers into the
transpiled code (which is controlled by the `noEmitHelpers` option -
false by default). It can also be configured to import these helpers
from the `tslib` module (which is controlled by the `importHelpers`
option - false by default).
While most of the time the helpers will be either emitted or imported,
it is possible that one configures their app to neither emit nor import
them. In that case, the helpers could, for example, be made available on
the global object. This is what `@nativescript/angular`
v9.0.0-next-2019-11-12-155500-01 does. See, for example, [common.js][1].
Ngcc must be able to detect and statically evaluate these helpers.
Previously, it was only able to detect emitted or imported helpers.
This commit adds support for detecting these helpers if they are neither
emitted nor imported. It does this by checking identifiers for which no
declaration (either concrete or inline) can be found against a list of
known TypeScript helper function names.

The `NgccReflectionHost`s have logic for detecting certain known
declarations (such as `Object.assign()` and TypeScript helpers), which
allows the `PartialEvaluator` to evaluate expressions it would not be
able to statically evaluate otherwise.
In #36089, `DelegatingReflectionHost` was introduced, which delegates to
a TypeScript `ReflectionHost` when reflecting on TypeScript files, which
for ngcc's case means `.d.ts` files of dependencies. As a result, ngcc
lost the ability to detect TypeScript helpers imported from `tslib`,
because `DelegatingReflectionHost` was not able to apply the known
declaration detection logic while reflecting on `tslib`'s `.d.ts` files.
This commit fixes this by ensuring `DelegatingReflectionHost` calls the
`NgccReflectionHost`'s `detectKnownDeclaration()` method as necessary,
even when using the TypeScript `ReflectionHost`.
NOTE:
The previous commit exposed a bug in ngcc that was hidden due to the
tests' being inconsistent with how the `ReflectionHost`s are used in the
actual program. The changes in this commit are verified by ensuring the
failing tests are now passing (hence no new tests are added).
PR Close#36284
In #36089, `DelegatingReflectionHost` was introduced. Under the hood, it
delegates another `NgccReflectionHost` in order to reflect over the
program's source files, while using a different TypeScript
`ReflectionHost` to reflect over `.d.ts` files (which is how external
dependencies are represented in the program).
Previously, the `NgccReflectionHost`s were used directly in tests. This
does not exercise them in the way they are exercised in the actual
program, because (when used directly) they will also reflect on `.d.ts`
files too (instead of delegating to the TypeScript `ReflectionHost`).
This could hide bugs that would happen on the actual program.
This commit fixes this by using the `DelegatingReflectionHost` in the
various `NgccReflectionHost` tests.
NOTE:
This change will cause some of the existing tests to start failing.

In Ivy, Angular decorators are compiled into static fields that are
inserted into a class declaration in a TypeScript transform. When
targeting Closure compiler such fields need to be annotated with
`@nocollapse` to prevent them from being lifted from a static field into
a variable, as that would prevent the Ivy runtime from being able to
find the compiled definitions.
Previously, there was a bug in TypeScript where synthetic comments added
in a transform would not be emitted at all, so as a workaround a global
regex-replace was done in the emit's `writeFile` callback that would add
the `@nocollapse` annotation to all static Ivy definition fields. This
approach is no longer possible when ngtsc is running as TypeScript
plugin, as a plugin cannot control emit behavior.
The workaround is no longer necessary, as synthetic comments are now
properly emitted, likely as of
https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/pull/22141 which has been
released with TypeScript 2.8.

Bazel's `ts_library` rule, to move away from the custom `ngc_wrapped`

Ngcc supports providing a project-level configuration to affect how
certain dependencies are processed and also has a built-in fallback
configuration for some unmaintained packages. Each entry in these
configurations could be scoped to specific versions of a package by
providing a version range. If no version range is provided for a
package, it defaults to `*` (with the intention of matching any
version).
Previously, the installed version of a package was tested against the
version range using the [semver][1] package's `satisfies()` function
with the default options. By default, `satisfies()` does not match
pre-releases (see [here][2] for more details on reasoning). While this
makes sense when determining what version of a dependency to install
(trying to avoid unexpected breaking changes), it is not desired in the
case of ngcc.
This commit fixes it by explicitly specifying that pre-release versions
should be matched normally.

Previously we only searched for package paths below the set of `basePaths`
that were computed from the `basePath` provided to ngcc and the set of
`pathMappings`.
In some scenarios, such as hoisted packages, the entry-point is not within
any of the `basePaths` identified above. For example:
```
project
packages
app
node_modules
app-lib (depends on lib1)
node_modules
lib1 (depends on lib2)
node_modules
lib2 (depends on lib3/entry-point)
lib3
entry-point
```
When CLI is compiling `app-lib` ngcc will be given
`project/packages/app/node_modules` as the `basePath.
If ngcc is asked to target `lib2`, the `targetPath` will be
`project/node_modules/lib1/node_modules/lib2`.
Since `lib2` depends upon `lib3/entry-point`, ngcc will need to compute
the package path for `project/node_modules/lib3/entry-point`.
Since `project/node_modules/lib3/entry-point` is not contained in the `basePath`
`project/packages/app/node_modules`, ngcc failed to compute the `packagePath`
correctly, instead assuming that it was the same as the entry-point path.
Now we also consider the nearest `node_modules` folder to the entry-point
path as an additional `basePath`. If one is found then we use the first
directory directly below that `node_modules` directory as the package path.
In the case of our example this extra `basePath` would be `project/node_modules`
which allows us to compute the `packagePath` of `project/node_modules/lib3`.

This commit allows ngcc to use the `preserveWhitespaces` setting
from tsconfig when compiling library templates. One should be aware

to share the same node_modules folder, with regard to whitespace
preservation. But this is already the case in the current ngcc since

This commit augments the `FactoryDef` declaration of Angular decorated
classes to contain information about the parameter decorators used in
the constructor. If no constructor is present, or none of the parameters
have any Angular decorators, then this will be represented using the
`null` type. Otherwise, a tuple type is used where the entry at index `i`
corresponds with parameter `i`. Each tuple entry can be one of two types:
1. If the associated parameter does not have any Angular decorators,
the tuple entry will be the `null` type.
2. Otherwise, a type literal is used that may declare at least one of
the following properties:
- "attribute": if `@Attribute` is present. The injected attribute's
name is used as string literal type, or the `unknown` type if the
attribute name is not a string literal.
- "self": if `@Self` is present, always of type `true`.
- "skipSelf": if `@SkipSelf` is present, always of type `true`.
- "host": if `@Host` is present, always of type `true`.
- "optional": if `@Optional` is present, always of type `true`.
A property is only present if the corresponding decorator is used.
Note that the `@Inject` decorator is currently not included, as it's
non-trivial to properly convert the token's value expression to a
type that is valid in a declaration file.
Additionally, the `ComponentDefWithMeta` declaration that is created for
Angular components has been extended to include all selectors on
`ng-content` elements within the component's template.
This additional metadata is useful for tooling such as the Angular
Language Service, as it provides the ability to offer suggestions for
directives/components defined in libraries. At the moment, such
tooling extracts the necessary information from the _metadata.json_
manifest file as generated by ngc, however this metadata representation
is being replaced by the information emitted into the declaration files.
