+ // Auxiliary dependency database (those .d files). Uses io_error and
+ // system_error exceptions to signal errors.
+ //
+ // This is a strange beast: a line-oriented, streaming database that can, at
+ // some point, be switched from reading to (over)writing. The idea is to
+ // store auxiliary/ad-hoc dependency information in the "invalidation"
+ // order. That is, if an earlier line is out of date, then all the
+ // subsequent ones are out of date as well.
+ //
+ // As an example, consider a dependency database for foo.o which is built
+ // from foo.cxx by the cxx.compile rule. The first line could be the rule
+ // name itself (perhaps with the version). If a different rule is now
+ // building foo.o, then any dep info that was saved by cxx.compile is
+ // probably useless. Next we can have the command line options that were
+ // used to build foo.o. Then could come the source file name followed by the
+ // extracted header dependencies. If the compile options or the source file
+ // name have changed, then the header dependencies are likely to have
+ // changed as well.
+ //
+ // As an example, here is what our foo.o.d could look like (the first line
+ // is the database format version and the last '\0' character is the end
+ // marker):
+ //
+ // 1
+ // cxx.compile 1
+ // g++-4.8 -I/tmp/foo -O3
+ // /tmp/foo/foo.cxx
+ // /tmp/foo/foo.hxx
+ // /usr/include/string.h
+ // /usr/include/stdlib.h
+ // /tmp/foo/bar.hxx
+ // ^@
+ //
+ // A race is possible between updating the database and the target. For
+ // example, we may detect a line mismatch that renders the target out-of-
+ // date (say, compile options in the above example). We update the database
+ // but before getting a chance to update the target, we get interrupted. On
+ // a subsequent re-run, because the database has been updated, we will miss
+ // the "target requires update" condition.
+ //
+ // If we assume that an update of the database also means an update of the
+ // target, then this "interrupted update" situation can be easily detected
+ // by comparing the database and target modification timestamps.
