## Introduction

Speculator.jl reduces latency by automatically searching for compilable methods.

## Usage

### Installation

```julia-repl
julia> using Pkg: add

julia> add("Speculator")

julia> using Speculator
```

### Showcase

```julia-repl
julia> module Showcase
           export g, h

f() = nothing
           g(::Int) = nothing
           h(::Union{String, Symbol}) = nothing
       end;

julia> speculate(Showcase; verbosity = compile)
compile: Main.Showcase.g(::Int64)
compile: Main.Showcase.f()

julia> speculate(Base.isexported, Showcase; verbosity = pass)
pass: Main.Showcase.g(::Int64)

julia> speculate(Showcase.h; verbosity = compile) do m, n
           !(m == Core && n == :String)
       end
compile: Main.Showcase.h(::Symbol)

julia> speculate(Showcase.h; limit = 2, verbosity = compile ∪ pass)
pass: Main.Showcase.h(::Symbol)
compile: Main.Showcase.h(::String)

julia> install_speculator(; limit = 4, verbosity = compile)

julia> i(::Union{String, Symbol}, ::AbstractChar) = nothing;

compile: Main.i(::Symbol, ::LinearAlgebra.WrapperChar)
compile: Main.i(::String, ::LinearAlgebra.WrapperChar)
compile: Main.i(::Symbol, ::Char)
compile: Main.i(::String, ::Char)
```

## Features

- Precompile packages
- Compile interactively
- Filter values
- Run in the background
- Handle abstractly typed methods
- Save compilation directives to a file
- Show logging statements

### Planned

- Disable during development using Preferences.jl?
- Support for `UnionAll` types?

## Acknowledgements

Credit to [Cameron Pfiffer](https://github.com/cpfiffer) for the initial idea.

The preexisting package PrecompileSignatures.jl implements similar functionality,
notably that `PrecompileSignatures.@precompile_signatures ::Module`
is roughly equivalent to `Speculator.speculate(::Module)`.

The idea to compile concrete method signatures has also been brought up in
[PrecompileTools.jl #28](https://github.com/JuliaLang/PrecompileTools.jl/issues/28).
