Jonathan Amsterdam d3d78b4bcc log/slog: handle recursively empty groups ... Handlers should not display empty groups. A group with no attributes is certainly empty. But we also want to consider a group to be empty if all its attributes are empty groups. The built-in handlers did not handle this second case properly. This CL fixes that. There are two places in the implementation that we need to consider. For Values of KindGroup, we change the GroupValue constructor to omit Attrs that are empty groups. A Group is then empty if and only if it has no Attrs. This avoids a recursive check for emptiness. It does require allocation, but that doesn't worry us because Group values should be relatively rare. For groups established by WithGroup, we avoid opening such groups unless the Record contains non-empty groups. As we did for values, we avoid adding empty groups to records in the first place, so we only need to check that the record has at least one Attr. We are doing extra work, so we need to make sure we aren't slowing things down unduly. Benchmarks before and after this change show minimal differences. Fixes #61067.
