`"%s" % spec` formats the spec with deps included, which produces sometimes KBs of data and is slow to run in pure Python. It can delay otherwise very short-lived read/write locks on the database. Discovered in #38762 where profile output showed about 2 seconds is spent in `spec.format`, which is significant overhead when using multiprocessing to install from binary cache in parallel (installation often takes <5s for small packages). With this change, `spec.format` no longer shows up in profile output. (This line hasn't changed since Spack v0.9 ;p) * move format() call to custom NoSuchSpecError exception * add a comment saying why, so we can eventually change `Spec.__str__` |
