* libexpr: fix builtins.split example
The example was previously indicating that multiple whitespaces would be
collapsed into a single captured whitespace. That isn't true and was
likely a mistake when being documented initially.
* Fix segfault on unitilized list when printing value
Since lists are just chunks of memory the individual elements in the
list might be unitilized when a programming error happens within Nix.
In this case the values are null-initialized (at least with Boehm GC)
and we can avoid a nullptr deref when printing them.
I ran into this issue while ensuring that new expression tests would
show the actual value on an assertion failure.
This is unlikely to cause any runtime performance regressions as
printing values is not really in the hot path (unless the repl is the
primary use case).
* Add operator<< for ValueTypes
* Add libexpr tests
This introduces tests for libexpr that evalulate various trivial Nix
language expressions and primop invocations that should be good smoke
tests wheter or not the implementation is behaving as expected.
These headers are included by the libexpr, libfetchers, libstore
and libutil headers.
Considering that these are vendored sources, Nix should expose them,
as it is not a good idea for reverse dependencies to rely on a
potentially different source that can go out of sync.
This is only rudimentary support as allowed by `NIX_GET_COMPLETIONS`.
In the future, we could use complete’s `--wraps` argument to autocomplete arguments for programs after `nix shell -c`.
Otherwise the build is cluttered with
```
/nix/store/fwpn2f7a4iqszyydw7ag61zlnp6xk5d3-glibc-2.30-dev/include/features.h:382:4: warning: #warning _FORTIFY_SOURCE requires compiling with optimization (-O) [-Wcpp]
382 | # warning _FORTIFY_SOURCE requires compiling with optimization (-O)
| ^~~~~~~
```
when building with `OPTIMIZE=0`
On nix-env -qa -f '<nixpkgs>', this reduces maximum RSS by 20970 KiB
and runtime by 0.8%. This is mostly because we're not parsing the hash
part as a hash anymore (just validating that it consists of base-32
characters).
Also, replace storePathToHash() by StorePath::hashPart().
This is a proof on concept to evaluate writing unit tests for Nix using
google test (https://github.com/google/googletest).
In order to execute tests:
$ make unit-tests
$ ./unit-tests
The Makefile rules for `unit-tests` is a complete hack.
This provides a pluggable mechanism for defining new fetchers. It adds
a builtin function 'fetchTree' that generalizes existing fetchers like
'fetchGit', 'fetchMercurial' and 'fetchTarball'. 'fetchTree' takes a
set of attributes, e.g.
fetchTree {
type = "git";
url = "https://example.org/repo.git";
ref = "some-branch";
rev = "abcdef...";
}
The existing fetchers are just wrappers around this. Note that the
input attributes to fetchTree are the same as flake input
specifications and flake lock file entries.
All fetchers share a common cache stored in
~/.cache/nix/fetcher-cache-v1.sqlite. This replaces the ad hoc caching
mechanisms in fetchGit and download.cc (e.g. ~/.cache/nix/{tarballs,git-revs*}).
This also adds support for Git worktrees (c169ea5904).
This removes the file nix-mode.el from Nix. The file is now available within the
repository https://github.com/NixOS/nix-mode.

NOTE: all of the above should be fixed within NixOS/nix-mode. If one of those
hasn’t please reopen within NixOS/nix-mode and not within NixOS/nix.
Because config.h can #define things like _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and not
every compilation unit includes config.h, we currently compile half of
Nix with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and other half with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
unset. This causes major havoc with the Settings class on e.g. 32-bit ARM,
where different compilation units disagree with the struct layout.
