Eliza Weismanandcsmoe 847fb59b17 trace-core: Introduce callsite classification in metadata (#1046)
## Motivation

To ease the implementation of `Subscriber::register_callsite`, a field
should be added to `Metadata` to indicate if this callsite is an event or
a span.

## Solution

A new struct, `Kind`, is added to the `metadata` module in
`tokio-trace-core`, and a `Kind` field is added to the `Metadata`
struct. Macros which construct `metadata` now require a `Kind`.

`Kind` is represented as a struct with a private inner enum to allow new
`Kind`s to be added without breaking changes. However, the _addition_ of
the kind field _is_ a breaking change. While this could be done in a
backward-compatible way, it would permit the construction of metadata
with unknown kinds, and since the next `tokio-trace-core` release will
be a breaking change, I opted to make the breaking change instead.

New API tests for the `callsite!` and `metadata!` macros have been added
to guard against future API breakage.

Fixes: #986
Closes: #1008

tokio-trace-core

Core primitives for tokio-trace.

Documentation

Overview

tokio-trace is a framework for instrumenting Rust programs to collect structured, event-based diagnostic information. This crate defines the core primitives of tokio-trace.

The crate provides:

  • Span identifies a span within the execution of a program.

  • Event represents a single event within a trace.

  • Subscriber, the trait implemented to collect trace data.

  • Metadata and Callsite provide information describing Spans.

  • Field, FieldSet, Value, and ValueSet represent the structured data attached to a Span.

  • Dispatch allows span events to be dispatched to Subscribers.

In addition, it defines the global callsite registry and per-thread current dispatcher which other components of the tracing system rely on.

Application authors will typically not use this crate directly. Instead, they will use the tokio-trace crate, which provides a much more fully-featured API. However, this crate's API will change very infrequently, so it may be used when dependencies must be very stable.
