Two minor memory improvements to `Dict`.

(1) When we are constructing a new `Dict` instance and are in the `Mutability.IMMUTABLE` situation, store `contents` as a `ImmutableMap` not a `LinkedHashMap`. The former suffices and uses less memory. There was already a TODO for this from adonovan@. Unfortunately, this optimization is minor in practice because the common case is that a `Dict` is constructed without `Mutability.IMMUTABLE`, but then `Mutability#freeze` gets called later. Therefore I think the bigger optimization opportunity would be to make it so that call to `Mutability#freeze` would magically go in and replace the `LinkedHashMap` instance with a `ImmutableMap` instance (this is not currently mechanically possible; see the javadoc for `Mutability#freeze`). I added a TODO for this.

(2) Use `Dict#EMPTY` appropriately in all the code paths that construct `Dict` instances to avoid having multiple physical objects all for the same logical concept of "immutable empty dict".

Bazel

{Fast, Correct} - Choose two

Build and test software of any size, quickly and reliably.

  • Speed up your builds and tests: Bazel rebuilds only what is necessary. With advanced local and distributed caching, optimized dependency analysis and parallel execution, you get fast and incremental builds.

  • One tool, multiple languages: Build and test Java, C++, Android, iOS, Go, and a wide variety of other language platforms. Bazel runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

  • Scalable: Bazel helps you scale your organization, codebase, and continuous integration solution. It handles codebases of any size, in multiple repositories or a huge monorepo.

  • Extensible to your needs: Easily add support for new languages and platforms with Bazel's familiar extension language. Share and re-use language rules written by the growing Bazel community.
