Since these address types are not directly comparable themselves, we use
an unexported named type around the string representation, whereby the
special type can avoid any ambiguity between string representations of
different types and thus each type only needs to worry about possible
ambiguity of its _own_ string representation.
Many times now we've seen situations where we need to use addresses
as map keys, but not all of our address types are comparable and thus
we tend to end up using string representations as keys instead.
That's problematic because conversion to string uses type information
and some of the address types have string representations that are
ambiguous with one another.
UniqueKey therefore represents an opaque key that is unique for each
functionally-distinct address across all types that implement
UniqueKeyer.
For this initial commit I've implemented UniqueKeyer only for the
Referenceable family of types. These are an easy case because they
were all already comparable (intentionally) anyway. Later commits
can implement UniqueKeyer for other types that are not naturally
comparable, such as any which include a ModuleInstance.
This also includes a new type addrs.Set which wraps a map as a set
of addresses, using the unique keys to ensure that there can be only
one element for each distinct address.
These three types represent the three different address representations we
need to represent different stages of analysis for "moved" blocks in the
configuration.
The goal here is to encapsulate all of the static address wrangling inside
these types so that users of these types elsewhere would have to work
pretty hard to use them incorrectly.
In particular, the MovableEndpoint type intentionally fully encapsulates
the weird relative addresses we use in configuration so that code
elsewhere in Terraform can never end up holding an address of a type that
suggests absolute when it's actually relative. That situation only occurs
in the internals of MoveableEndpoint where we use not-really-absolute
AbsMoveable address types to represent the not-yet-resolved relative
addresses.
This only takes care of the static address wrangling. There's lots of
other rules for what makes a "moved" block valid which will need to be
checked elsewhere because they require more context than just the content
of the address itself.
This PR adds decoding for the upcoming "moved" blocks in configuration. This code is gated behind an experiment called EverythingIsAPlan, but the experiment is not registered as an active experiment, so it will never run (there is a test in place which will fail if the experiment is ever registered).
This also adds a new function to the Targetable interface, AddrType, to simplifying comparing two addrs.Targetable.
There is some validation missing still: this does not (yet) descend into resources to see if the actual resource types are the same (I've put this off in part because we will eventually need the provider schema to verify aliased resources, so I suspect this validation will have to happen later on).
This is part of a general effort to move all of Terraform's non-library
package surface under internal in order to reinforce that these are for
internal use within Terraform only.
If you were previously importing packages under this prefix into an
external codebase, you could pin to an earlier release tag as an interim
solution until you've make a plan to achieve the same functionality some
other way.
