Eelco Dolstra bbe97dff8b Make the Store API more type-safe
Most functions now take a StorePath argument rather than a Path (which
is just an alias for std::string). The StorePath constructor ensures
that the path is syntactically correct (i.e. it looks like
<store-dir>/<base32-hash>-<name>). Similarly, functions like
buildPaths() now take a StorePathWithOutputs, rather than abusing Path
by adding a '!<outputs>' suffix.

Note that the StorePath type is implemented in Rust. This involves
some hackery to allow Rust values to be used directly in C++, via a
helper type whose destructor calls the Rust type's drop()
function. The main issue is the dynamic nature of C++ move semantics:
after we have moved a Rust value, we should not call the drop function
on the original value. So when we move a value, we set the original
value to bitwise zero, and the destructor only calls drop() if the
value is not bitwise zero. This should be sufficient for most types.

Also lots of minor cleanups to the C++ API to make it more modern
(e.g. using std::optional and std::string_view in some places).

Revert "Fix parser/lexer generation with parallel make"
This reverts commit d277442df5.

Make sucks.

Fix parser/lexer generation with parallel make
Fun fact: rules with multiple targets don't work properly with 'make
-j'. For example, a rule like

  a b: c
    touch a b

is equivalent to

  a: c
    touch a b

  b: c
    touch a b

so with 'make -j', the 'touch' command will be run twice. See
e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2973445/gnu-makefile-rule-generating-a-few-targets-from-a-single-source-file.

Manuel Jacob 12c1776df9 Don't try to link libdl on FreeBSD.
There is no libdl on FreeBSD.  Instead the symbols are included in libc.

Eelco Dolstra 0a2bee307b Make <nix/fetchurl.nix> a builtin builder
This ensures that 1) the derivation doesn't change when Nix changes;
2) the derivation closure doesn't contain Nix and its dependencies; 3)
we don't have to rely on ugly chroot hacks.

Eelco Dolstra 000b5a000f Add fetchTarball builtin
This function downloads and unpacks the given URL at evaluation
time. This is primarily intended to make it easier to deal with Nix
expressions that have external dependencies. For instance, to fetch
Nixpkgs 14.12:

  with import (fetchTarball https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-14.12.tar.gz) {};

Or to fetch a specific revision:

  with import (fetchTarball 2766a4b44e.tar.gz) {};

This patch also adds a ‘fetchurl’ builtin that downloads but doesn't
unpack its argument. Not sure if it's useful though.

Shea Levy 5cd022d6c0 Add importNative primop
This can be used to import a dynamic shared object and return an
arbitrary value, including new primops. This can be used both to test
new primops without having to recompile nix every time, and to build
specialized primops that probably don't belong upstream (e.g. a function
that calls out to gpg to decrypt a nixops secret as-needed).

The imported function should initialize the Value & as needed. A single
import can define multiple values by creating an attrset or list, of
course.

An example initialization function might look like:

extern "C" void initialize(nix::EvalState & state, nix::Value & v)
{
    v.type = nix::tPrimOp;
    v.primOp = NEW nix::PrimOp(myFun, 1, state.symbols.create("myFun"));
}

Then `builtins.importNative ./example.so "initialize"` will evaluate to
the primop defined in the myFun function.
