If there were many top-level goals (which are not destroyed until the
very end), commands like
$ nix copy --to 'ssh://localhost?remote-store=/tmp/nix' \
/run/current-system --no-check-sigs --substitute-on-destination
could fail with "Too many open files". So now we do some explicit
cleanup from amDone(). It would be cleaner to separate goals from
their temporary internal state, but that would be a bigger refactor.
This avoids an ambiguity where the `StorePathWithOutputs { drvPath, {}
}` could mean "build `brvPath`" or "substitute `drvPath`" depending on
context.
It also brings the internals closer in line to the new CLI, by
generalizing the `Buildable` type is used there and makes that
distinction already.
In doing so, relegate `StorePathWithOutputs` to being a type just for
backwards compatibility (CLI and RPC).
I guess the rationale behind the old name wath that
`pathInfoIsTrusted(info)` returns `true` iff we would need to `blindly`
trust the path (because it has no valid signature and `requireSigs` is
set), but I find it to be a really confusing footgun because it's quite
natural to give it the opposite meaning.
What happened was that Nix was trying to unconditionally mount these
paths in fixed-output derivations, but since the outer derivation was
pure, those paths did not exist. The solution is to only mount those
paths when they exist.
This separates the scheduling logic (including simple hook pathway) from
the local-store needing code.
This should be the final split for now. I'm reasonably happy with how
it's turning out, even before I'm done moving code into
`local-derivation-goal`. Benefits:
1. This will help "witness" that the hook case is indeed a lot simpler,
and also compensate for the increased complexity that comes from
content-addressed derivation outputs.
2. It also moves us ever so slightly towards a world where we could use
off-the-shelf storage or sandboxing, since `local-derivation-goal`
would be gutted in those cases, but `derivation-goal` should remain
nearly the same.
The new `#if 0` in the new files will be deleted in the following
commit. I keep it here so if it turns out more stuff can be moved over,
it's easy to do so in a way that preserves ordering --- and thus
prevents conflicts.
N.B.
```sh
git diff HEAD^^ --color-moved --find-copies-harder --patience --stat
```
makes nicer output.
This field used to be a `BasicDerivation`, but this `BasicDerivation`
was downcasted to a `Derivation` when needed (implicitely or not), so we
might as well make it a full `Derivation` and upcast it when needed.
This also allows getting rid of a weird duplication in the way we
compute the static output hashes for the derivation. We had to
do it differently and in a different place depending on whether the
derivation was a full derivation or just a basic drv, but we can now do
it unconditionally on the full derivation.
Fix#4559
- Pass it the name of the outputs rather than their output paths (as
these don't exist for ca derivations)
- Get the built output paths from the remote builder
- Register the new received realisations
That way we
1. Don't have to recompute them several times
2. Can compute them in a place where we know the type of the parent
derivation, meaning that we don't need the casting dance we had before
Once a build is done, get back to the original derivation, and register
all the newly built outputs for this derivation.
This allows Nix to work properly with derivations that don't have all
their build inputs available − thus allowing garbage collection and
(once it's implemented) binary substitution
Fix a mismatch in the errors thrown when a needed output was missing
from an input derivation that was leading to a wrong and quite misleading error
message
Changes:
* The divider lines are gone. These were in practice a bit confusing,
in particular with --show-trace or --keep-going, since then there
were multiple lines, suggesting a start/end which wasn't the case.
* Instead, multi-line error messages are now indented to align with
the prefix (e.g. "error: ").
* The 'description' field is gone since we weren't really using it.
* 'hint' is renamed to 'msg' since it really wasn't a hint.
* The error is now printed *before* the location info.
* The 'name' field is no longer printed since most of the time it
wasn't very useful since it was just the name of the exception (like
EvalError). Ideally in the future this would be a unique, easily
googleable error ID (like rustc).
* "trace:" is now just "…". This assumes error contexts start with
something like "while doing X".

Thanks @regnat and @edolstra for catching this and comming up with the
solution.
They way I had generalized those is wrong, because local settings for
non-local stores is confusing default. And due to the nature of C++
inheritance, fixing the defaults is more annoying than it should be.
Additionally, I thought we might just drop the check in the substitution
logic since `Store::addToStore` is now streaming, but @regnat rightfully
pointed out that as it downloads dependencies first, that would still be
too late, and also waste effort on possibly unneeded/unwanted
dependencies.
The simple and correct thing to do is just make a store method for the
boolean logic, keeping all the setting and key stuff the way it was
before. That new method is both used by `LocalStore::addToStore` and the
substitution goal check. Perhaps we might eventually make it fancier,
e.g. sending the ValidPathInfo to remote stores for them to validate,
but this is good enough for now.
By default, once you enter x86_64 Rosetta 2, macOS will try to run
everything in x86_64. So an x86_64 Nix will still try to use x86_64
even when system = aarch64-darwin. To avoid this we can set
kern.curproc_arch_affinity sysctl. With kern.curproc_arch_affinity=0,
we ignore this preference.
This is based on how
https://opensource.apple.com/source/system_cmds/system_cmds-880.40.5/arch.tproj/arch.c.auto.html
works. Completely undocumented, but seems to work!
Note, you can verify this works with this impure Nix expression:
```
{
a = derivation {
name = "a";
system = "aarch64-darwin";
builder = "/bin/sh";
args = [ "-e" (builtins.toFile "builder" ''
[ "$(/usr/bin/arch)" = arm64 ]
[ "$(/usr/bin/arch -arch x86_64 /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/arch)" = i386 ]
[ "$(/usr/bin/arch -arch arm64 /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/arch)" = arm64 ]
/usr/bin/touch $out
'') ];
};
b = derivation {
name = "b";
system = "x86_64-darwin";
builder = "/bin/sh";
args = [ "-e" (builtins.toFile "builder" ''
[ "$(/usr/bin/arch)" = i386 ]
[ "$(/usr/bin/arch -arch x86_64 /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/arch)" = i386 ]
[ "$(/usr/bin/arch -arch arm64 /bin/sh -c /usr/bin/arch)" = arm64 ]
/usr/bin/touch $out
'') ];
};
}
```
We embrace virtual the rest of the way, and get rid of the
`assert(false)` 0-param constructors.
We also list config base classes first, so the constructor order is
always:
1. all the configs
2. all the stores
Each in the same order
Rather than storing the derivation outputs as `drvPath!outputName` internally,
store them as `drvHashModulo!outputName` (or `outputHash!outputName` for
fixed-output derivations).
This makes the storage slightly more opaque, but enables an earlier
cutoff in cases where a fixed-output dependency changes (but keeps the
same output hash) − same as what we already do for input-addressed
derivations.
