//! Callsites represent the source locations from which spans or events
//! originate.
//!
//! # What Are Callsites?
//!
//! Every span or event in `tracing` is associated with a [`Callsite`]. A
//! callsite is a small `static` value that is responsible for the following:
//!
//! * Storing the span or event's [`Metadata`],
//! * Uniquely [identifying](Identifier) the span or event definition,
//! * Caching the subscriber's [`Interest`][^1] in that span or event, to avoid
//!   re-evaluating filters.
//!
//! # Registering Callsites
//!
//! When a span or event is recorded for the first time, its callsite
//! [`register`]s itself with the global callsite registry. Registering a
//! callsite calls the [`Subscriber::register_callsite`][`register_callsite`]
//! method with that callsite's [`Metadata`] on every currently active
//! subscriber. This serves two primary purposes: informing subscribers of the
//! callsite's existence, and performing static filtering.
//!
//! ## Callsite Existence
//!
//! If a [`Subscriber`] implementation wishes to allocate storage for each
//! unique span/event location in the program, or pre-compute some value
//! that will be used to record that span or event in the future, it can
//! do so in its [`register_callsite`] method.
//!
//! ## Performing Static Filtering
//!
//! The [`register_callsite`] method returns an [`Interest`] value,
//! which indicates that the subscriber either [always] wishes to record
//! that span or event, [sometimes] wishes to record it based on a
//! dynamic filter evaluation, or [never] wishes to record it.
//!
//! When registering a new callsite, the [`Interest`]s returned by every
//! currently active subscriber are combined, and the result is stored at
//! each callsite. This way, when the span or event occurs in the
//! future, the cached [`Interest`] value can be checked efficiently
//! to determine if the span or event should be recorded, without
//! needing to perform expensive filtering (i.e. calling the
//! [`Subscriber::enabled`] method every time a span or event occurs).
//!
//! ### Rebuilding Cached Interest
//!
//! When a new [`Dispatch`] is created (i.e. a new subscriber becomes
//! active), any previously cached [`Interest`] values are re-evaluated
//! for all callsites in the program. This way, if the new subscriber
//! will enable a callsite that was not previously enabled, the
//! [`Interest`] in that callsite is updated. Similarly, when a
//! subscriber is dropped, the interest cache is also re-evaluated, so
//! that any callsites enabled only by that subscriber are disabled.
//!
//! In addition, the [`rebuild_interest_cache`] function in this module can be
//! used to manually invalidate all cached interest and re-register those
//! callsites. This function is useful in situations where a subscriber's
//! interest can change, but it does so relatively infrequently. The subscriber
//! may wish for its interest to be cached most of the time, and return
//! [`Interest::always`][always] or [`Interest::never`][never] in its
//! [`register_callsite`] method, so that its [`Subscriber::enabled`] method
//! doesn't need to be evaluated every time a span or event is recorded.
//! However, when the configuration changes, the subscriber can call
//! [`rebuild_interest_cache`] to re-evaluate the entire interest cache with its
//! new configuration. This is a relatively costly operation, but if the
//! configuration changes infrequently, it may be more efficient than calling
//! [`Subscriber::enabled`] frequently.
//!
//! # Implementing Callsites
//!
//! In most cases, instrumenting code using `tracing` should *not* require
//! implementing the [`Callsite`] trait directly. When using the [`tracing`
//! crate's macros][macros] or the [`#[instrument]` attribute][instrument], a
//! `Callsite` is automatically generated.
//!
//! However, code which provides alternative forms of `tracing` instrumentation
//! may need to interact with the callsite system directly. If
//! instrumentation-side code needs to produce a `Callsite` to emit spans or
//! events, the [`DefaultCallsite`] struct provided in this module is a
//! ready-made `Callsite` implementation that is suitable for most uses. When
//! possible, the use of `DefaultCallsite` should be preferred over implementing
//! [`Callsite`] for user types, as `DefaultCallsite` may benefit from
//! additional performance optimizations.
