pennae 8775be3393 store Symbols in a table as well, like positions
this slightly increases the amount of memory used for any given symbol, but this
increase is more than made up for if the symbol is referenced more than once in
the EvalState that holds it. on average every symbol should be referenced at
least twice (once to introduce a binding, once to use it), so we expect no
increase in memory on average.

symbol tables are limited to 2³² entries like position tables, and similar
arguments apply to why overflow is not likely: 2³² symbols would require as many
string instances (at 24 bytes each) and map entries (at 24 bytes or more each,
assuming that the map holds on average at most one item per bucket as the docs
say). a full symbol table would require at least 192GB of memory just for
symbols, which is well out of reach. (an ofborg eval of nixpks today creates
less than a million symbols!)

pennae 6526d1676b replace most Pos objects/ptrs with indexes into a position table
Pos objects are somewhat wasteful as they duplicate the origin file name and
input type for each object. on files that produce more than one Pos when parsed
this a sizeable waste of memory (one pointer per Pos). the same goes for
ptr<Pos> on 64 bit machines: parsing enough source to require 8 bytes to locate
a position would need at least 8GB of input and 64GB of expression memory. it's
not likely that we'll hit that any time soon, so we can use a uint32_t index to
locate positions instead.

pennae d439dceb3b optionally return string_view from coerceToString
we'll retain the old coerceToString interface that returns a string, but callers
that don't need the returned value to outlive the Value it came from can save
copies by using the new interface instead. for values that weren't stringy we'll
pass a new buffer argument that'll be used for storage and shouldn't be
inspected.

pennae 44c92a1667 use more string_view in utils
there's a couple places that can be easily converted from using strings to using
string_views instead. gives a slight (~1%) boost to system eval.

Greg Hale a303c0b6dc Fetch commits from github/gitlab using Auth header
`nix flake info` calls the github 'commits' API, which requires
authorization when the repository is private. Currently this request
fails with a 404.

This commit adds an authorization header when calling the 'commits' API.
It also changes the way that the 'tarball' API authenticates, moving the
user's token from a query parameter into the Authorization header.

The query parameter method is recently deprecated and will be disallowed
in November 2020. Using them today triggers a warning email.

Eelco Dolstra 462421d345 Backport libfetchers from the flakes branch
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).

Fix 'error 9 while decompressing xz file'
Once we've started writing data to a Sink, we can't restart a download
request, because then we end up writing duplicate data to the
Sink. Therefore we shouldn't handle retries in Downloader but at a
higher level (in particular, in copyStorePath()).

Fixes #2952.

Add a Config class to simplify adding configuration settings
The typical use is to inherit Config and add Setting<T> members:

  class MyClass : private Config
  {
    Setting<int> foo{this, 123, "foo", "the number of foos to use"};
    Setting<std::string> bar{this, "blabla", "bar", "the name of the bar"};

    MyClass() : Config(readConfigFile("/etc/my-app.conf"))
    {
      std::cout << foo << "\n"; // will print 123 unless overriden
    }
  };

Currently, this is used by Store and its subclasses for store
parameters. You now get a warning if you specify a non-existant store
parameter in a store URI.

Tuomas Tynkkynen 2cd468874f Include config.h implicitly with '-include config.h' in CFLAGS
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.

E.g.:

That was not a fun one to debug!

and similarly

  printError("file '%s' not found", path);

instead of

This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't
useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the

Eelco Dolstra c10c61449f Eliminate the "store" global variable
Also, move a few free-standing functions into StoreAPI and Derivation.

Also, introduce a non-nullable smart pointer, ref<T>, which is just a
wrapper around std::shared_ptr ensuring that the pointer is never
null. (For reference-counted values, this is better than passing a
"T&", because the latter doesn't maintain the refcount. Usually, the
caller will have a shared_ptr keeping the value alive, but that's not
always the case, e.g., when passing a reference to a std::thread via
std::bind.)

Eelco Dolstra d34d2b2bbf Use posix_spawn to run the pager
In low memory environments, "nix-env -qa" failed because the fork to
run the pager hit the kernel's overcommit limits. Using posix_spawn
gets around this. (Actually, you have to use posix_spawn with the
undocumented POSIX_SPAWN_USEVFORK flag, otherwise it just uses
fork/exec...)

Shea Levy 84a13dc576 Drop support for pre-c++11 compilers.
In particular, gcc 4.6's std::exception::~exception has an exception
specification in c++0x mode, which requires us to use that deprecated
feature in nix (and led to breakage after some recent changes that were
valid c++11).

nix already uses several c++11 features and gcc 4.7 has been around for
over 2 years.

Eelco Dolstra 49009573bc Don't interpret strings as format strings
Ludo reported this error:

  unexpected Nix daemon error: boost::too_few_args: format-string refered to more arguments than were passed

coming from this line:

  printMsg(lvlError, run.program + ": " + string(err, 0, p));

The problem here is that the string ends up implicitly converted to a
Boost format() object, so % characters are treated specially.  I
always assumed (wrongly) that strings are converted to a format object
that outputs the string as-is.

Since this assumption appears in several places that may be hard to
grep for, I've added some C++ type hackery to ensures that the right
thing happens.  So you don't have to worry about % in statements like

  printMsg(lvlError, "foo: " + s);

or

  throw Error("foo: " + s);
