Since it's depended on by `.data` stuff as well as pretty much
everything else, makes more sense to expose it as a top level module
(and maybe eventually as a subpkg as we add to it).
Use `def_iohlcv_fields` for a name and instead of copying and inserting
the index field pop it for the non-index version. Drop creating
`np.dtype()` instances since `numpy`'s apis accept both input forms so
this is simpler on our end.
We return a copy (since since a view doesn't seem to work..) of the
(field filtered) shm array contents which is the same index-length as
the source data.
Further, fence off the resource tracker disable-hack into a helper
routine.
There was a lingering issue where the fsp daemon would sync its shm
array with the source data and we'd set the start/end indices to the
same value. Under some races a reader would then read an empty `.array`
which it wasn't expecting. This fixes that as well as tidies up the
`ShmArray.push()` logic and adds a temporary check in `.array` for zero
length if the array hasn't been written yet.
We can now start removing read array length checks in consumer code
and hopefully no more races will show up.
Add an internal `_Token` to do interchange (un)packing for passing
"references" to shm blocks between actors. Part of the token involves
providing the `numpy.dtype` in a cross-actor format. Add a module
variable for caching "known tokens" per actor. Drop use of context
managers since they tear down shm blocks too soon in debug mode and
there seems to be no reason to unlink/close shm before the process has
terminated; if code needs it torn down explicitly, it can.
Logic in `SharedArray.push()` was totally wrong.
Remove all the `multiprocessing.resource_tracker` crap such that we
aren't loading an extra process at every layer and we don't get tons of
errors when cleaning on in an SC way.
This adds a shared memory "incrementing array" sub-sys interface
for single writer, multi-reader style data passing. The main motivation
is to avoid multiple copies of the same `numpy` array across actors
(plus now we can start being fancy like ray).
There still seems to be some odd issues with the "resource tracker"
complaining at teardown (likely partially to do with SIGINT stuff) so
some further digging in the stdlib code is likely coming.
Pertains to #107 and #98
