## Summary
Setting `TY_MEMORY_REPORT=full` will generate and print a memory usage
report to the CLI after a `ty check` run:
```
=======SALSA STRUCTS=======
`Definition` metadata=7.24MB fields=17.38MB count=181062
`Expression` metadata=4.45MB fields=5.94MB count=92804
`member_lookup_with_policy_::interned_arguments` metadata=1.97MB fields=2.25MB count=35176
...

`Definition -> ty_python_semantic::types::infer::TypeInference`

`File -> ruff_db::parsed::ParsedModule`
metadata=0.12MB fields=69.06MB count=1642
...
=======SALSA SUMMARY=======
TOTAL MEMORY USAGE: 577.61MB
struct metadata = 29.00MB
struct fields = 35.68MB
memo metadata = 103.87MB
memo fields = 409.06MB
```
Eventually, we should integrate these numbers into CI in some form. The
one limitation currently is that heap allocations in salsa structs (e.g.
interned values) are not tracked, but memoized values should have full
coverage. We may also want a peak memory usage counter (that accounts
for non-salsa memory), but that is relatively simple to profile manually
(e.g. `time -v ty check`) and would require a compile-time option to
avoid runtime overhead.
## Summary
https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/214 will require a couple
invasive changes that I would like to get merged even before garbage
collection is fully implemented (to avoid rebasing):
- `ParsedModule` can no longer be dereferenced directly. Instead you
need to load a `ParsedModuleRef` to access the AST, which requires a
reference to the salsa database (as it may require re-parsing the AST if
it was collected).
- `AstNodeRef` can only be dereferenced with the `node` method, which
takes a reference to the `ParsedModuleRef`. This allows us to encode the
fact that ASTs do not live as long as the database and may be collected
as soon a given instance of a `ParsedModuleRef` is dropped. There are a
number of places where we currently merge the `'db` and `'ast`
lifetimes, so this requires giving some types/functions two separate
lifetime parameters.
