53ac1911e7 Invocation: render a processing-spec for a port 2024-11-04 02:02:58 +01:00
5df93f01fc Invocation: pass symbolic spec through the node builder
...taking into account the prospecive usage context
where the builder expressions will be invoked from within
a media-library plug-in, using std::string_view to pass
the symbolic information seems like a good fit, because
the given spec will typically be assembled from some
building blocks, and thus in itself not be literal data.

4b6d812578 Invocation: provide access to a deduplicated ProcID
...as follow-up to yesterday's decisions
 - each Port will just feature a (stable) reference to a ProcID record
 - which is deduplicated and likewise refers to deduplicated symbolic tags
 - and further spec and hash values are computed on-demand by this entity

__Note__: all functionality belonging to the ''Builder'' can be assumed to run **non-concurrent**

f8642b3459 Invocation: consider how to establish a stable cache key
Building a precise Frame Cache is a tough job, and is doomed to fail
when attempting to tie cache invalidation to state changes. The only
viable path is to create a system of systematic tagging of processing
steps, and use this as foundation for chained hash values, linked
in accordance to the actual processing structure.

This is complicated by the secondary concern of maintaining memory efficacy
for the render node model, which can be expected to grow to massive scale.
And even while this invocation can not be fully devised right now,
an attempt can be made to build a foundation that is not outright
wasteful, by detaching the logical information from the specific
weaving pattern used for implementation, and by minimising the
representation in memory and computing the compound information
on-demand....

9f233f1e90 Invocation: Detail-planning of node invocation
* consider which operations to provide where
 * collect components to be built for a basic node wiring
 * define an entrance point for node invocation
