Track function start and ends for flame graphs
With this patch, and this file I called `log.py`:

    #!/usr/bin/env nix-shell
    #!nix-shell -i python3 -p python3 --pure

    import sys
    from pprint import pprint

    stack = []
    timestack = []

    for line in open(sys.argv[1]):
        components = line.strip().split(" ", 2)
        if components[0] != "function-trace":
            continue

        direction = components[1]
        components = components[2].rsplit(" ", 2)

        loc = components[0]
        _at = components[1]
        time = int(components[2])

        if direction == "entered":
            stack.append(loc)
            timestack.append(time)
        elif direction == "exited":
            dur = time - timestack.pop()
            vst = ";".join(stack)
            print(f"{vst} {dur}")
            stack.pop()

and:

Includes test cases around function call failures and tryEval. Uses
RAII so the finish is always called at the end of the function.

Before, this limit was five minutes without receiving a single byte.

Add a post-build-hook
Passing `--post-build-hook /foo/bar` to a nix-* command will cause
`/foo/bar` to be executed after each build with the following
environment variables set:

    DRV_PATH=/nix/store/drv-that-has-been-built.drv
    OUT_PATHS=/nix/store/...build /nix/store/...build-bin /nix/store/...build-dev

This can be useful in particular to upload all the builded artifacts to
the cache (including the ones that don't appear in the runtime closure
of the final derivation or are built because of IFD).

This new feature prints the stderr/stdout output to the `nix-build`
and `nix build` client, and the output is printed in a Nix 2
compatible format:

    [nix]$ ./inst/bin/nix-build ./test.nix
    these derivations will be built:
      /nix/store/ishzj9ni17xq4hgrjvlyjkfvm00b0ch9-my-example-derivation.drv
    building '/nix/store/ishzj9ni17xq4hgrjvlyjkfvm00b0ch9-my-example-derivation.drv'...

Merge branch 'autoconf-ubuntu-16.04-fixes' of https://github.com/nh2/nix 2019-07-03 08:02:45 +02:00
Niklas Hambüchen 57daa860e8 autoconf: Fix C++17 detection not working on Ubuntu 16.04.
And probably many other distributions.

Until now, ./configure would fail silently printing a warning

    ./configure: line 4621: AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_17: command not found

and then continuing, later failing with a C++ #error saying that some C++11
feature isn't supported (it didn't even get to the C++17 features).

This is because older distributions don't come with the
`AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_17` m4 macro.

This commit vendors that macro accordingly.

Now ./configure complains correctly:

    configure: error: *** A compiler with support for C++17 language features is required.

On Ubuntu 16.04, ./configure completes if a newer compiler is used, e.g. with
gcc-7 from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-toolchain-r/+archive/ubuntu/test
using:

    ./bootstrap.sh
    ./configure CXX=g++-7 --disable-doc-gen --with-boost=$(nix-build --no-link '<nixpkgs>' -A boost.dev)

Niklas Hambüchen 1f97b16b1d autoconf: Work around editline not being found on Ubuntu 16.04.
And probably other Linux distributions with long-term support releases.

Also update manual stating what version is needed;
I checked that 1.14 is the oldest version with which current nix compiles,
and added autoconf feature checks for some functions added in that release
that nix uses.

doc: clarify that optional attrs in a function argument will be ignored unless specified
In `args@{ a ? 1 }: /* ... */` the value `a` won't be a part of `args`
unless it's specified when calling the function, the default value will
be ignored in this case.

My personal point of view is that this behavior is a matter of taste, at
least I was pretty sure that unmatched arguments will be a part of
`args@` while debugging some Nix code last week.

I decided to add a warning to the docs which hopefully reduces the
confusion of further Nix developers who thought the same about `args@`.

Spencer Baugh 5f1891b795 nix-store: make --dump-db take a list of paths to dump
Inside a derivation, exportReferencesGraph already provides a way to
dump the Nix database for a specific closure. On the command line,
--dump-db gave us the same information, but only for the entire Nix
database at once.

With this change, one can now pass a list of paths to --dump-db to get
the Nix database dumped for just those paths. (The user is responsible
for ensuring this is a closure, like for --export).

Among other things, this is useful for deploying a closure to a new
host without using --import/--export; one can use tar to transfer the
store paths, and --dump-db/--load-db to transfer the validity
information. This is useful if the new host doesn't actually have Nix
yet, and the closure that is being deployed itself contains Nix.
