eldritch horrors c55dcc6c13 filetransfer: return a Source from download()
without this we will not be able to get rid of makeDecompressionSink,
which in turn will be necessary to get rid of sourceToSink (since the
libarchive archive wrapper *must* be a Source due to api limitations)

eldritch horrors 11f4a5bc7e libutil: return a source from readFile
don't consume a sink, return a source instead. the only reason to not do
this is a very slight reduction in dynamic allocations, but since we are
going to *at least* do disk io that will not be a lot of overhead anyway

eldritch horrors 0b9a72524a filetransfer: {up,down}load -> transfer
even the transfer function is not all that necessary since there aren't
that many users, but we'll keep it for now. we could've kept both names
but we also kind of want to use `download` for something else very soon

jade b9b1bbd22f diff-closures: fix a use after free
Found by looking for interesting asan reports from the test suite.

What happened here is that name got overwritten, but it was what
actually held the backing memory for the thing it got overwritten by,
which was a by-reference value coming out of std::regex.

Due to absurd reasons I cannot seem to use a string_view iterator here,
so I just copy the string with a longer lifetime instead. idk lol

eldritch horrors bcb774688f libexpr: add expr memory management
with the prepatory work done this mostly means turning plain pointers
into unique_ptrs, with all the associated churn that necessitates. we
might want to change some of these to box_ptrs at some point as well,
but that would be a semantic change that isn't fully appropriate yet.

Other parts of the codebase will need to be adjusted in response to a

raito b8cb7abcf0 chore: rebrand Nix to Lix when it makes sense
Here's my guide so far:

$ rg '((?!(recursive).*) Nix
(?!(daemon|store|expression|Rocks!|Packages|language|derivation|archive|account|user|sandbox|flake).*))'
-g '!doc/' --pcre2

All items from this query have been tackled. For the documentation side:
that's for lix-project/lix#162.

Additionally, all remaining references to github.com/NixOS/nix which
were not relevant were also replaced.

Fixes: lix-project/lix#148.

Qyriad e54d4c9381 build: fix static linking with a hack
This causes libstore, libexpr, libfetchers, and libutil to be linked
with -Wl,--whole-archive to executables, when building statically.

libstore for the store backends, libexpr for the primops, libfetchers
for the fetcher backends I assume(?), and libutil for the nix::logger
initializer (which notably shows in pre-main constructors when HOME is
not owned by the user. cursed.).

This workaround should be removed when #359 is fixed.

Fixes #306.

jade 0f99ed43f1 build-time: remove 20% more by PCH'ing C++ stdlib
It seems like someone implemented precompiled headers a long time ago
and then it never got ported to meson or maybe didn't work at all.

This is, however, blessedly easy to simply implement. I went looking for
`#define` that could affect the result of precompiling the headers, and
as far as I can tell we aren't doing any of that, so this should truly
just be free build time savings.

Previous state:
Compilation (551 times):
  Parsing (frontend):         1302.1 s
  Codegen & opts (backend):    956.3 s

New state:
**** Time summary:
Compilation (567 times):
  Parsing (frontend):         1123.0 s
  Codegen & opts (backend):   1078.1 s

I wonder if the "regression" in codegen time is just doing the PCH
operation a few times, because meson does it per-target.

jade 7575db522e Remove 100s of CPU time (10%) from build times (1465s -> 1302s)
I saw that boost/lexical_cast was costing about 100s in CPU time on our
compiles. We can fix this trivially by doing explicit template
instantiation in exactly one place and eliminating all other includes of
it, which is a code improvement anyway by hiding the boost.

puck 1fe58bd8a7 nix cat/dump-path/key: stop progress bar before writeFull
These commands outputs data that may not end with a newline. This
causes problems when the progress bar redraws, as that completely
wipes the last line of output. As nix key generate-secret outputs
a single line of text with no output, it shows up entirely blank,
making it look like nothing happened.

jade 748d8310fa Fix the pages in the manual for Lix
This doesn't comprehensively fix everything outdated in the manual, or
make the manual greatly better, but it does note down where at least
jade noticed it was wrong, and it does fix all the instances of
referencing Nix to conform to the style guide to the best of our
ability.

A lot of things have been commented out for being wrong, and there are
three types of FIXME introduced:

- FIXME(Lix): generically Lix needs to fix it
- FIXME(Qyriad): re lix-project/lix#215
- FIXME(meson): docs got outdated by meson changes and need rewriting

I did fix a bunch of it that I could, but there could certainly be
mistakes and this is definitely just an incremental improvement.

Maximilian Bosch f8617f9dc6 Merge "Rename nix show-config to nix config show" into main 2024-05-03 22:07:33 +00:00
Théophane Hufschmitt 8458d98b27 Rename nix show-config to nix config show
Part of #7672

My main motivation is to be able to use `nix.checkConfig`[1]. This
doesn't work with Lix currently since the module uses `nix show-config`
if the Nix version is <2.20pre and `nix config show` otherwise. I think
this is the only instance where nixpkgs checks for which Nix commands
exist that affects us now, so I figured we could just perform the rename
here as well[2] and still provide the current version number[3].

I don't have a strong opinion on whether to deprecate `nix show-config`,
the warning is added there automatically.

(cherry picked from commit f300e11b056dea414d7d77bbc6e5a7dc5d9ddd41)

[1] https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/options.html#opt-nix.checkConfig
[2] I should add that I don't use the "official" ways of installing Lix
    because using the flake directly and callPackaging it seemed to fit
    better into my workflow: I already have a little mess to make
    sure Hydra from the flake uses the correct pkgs.nix and I didn't
    want to complicate it further while keeping a single package-set I
    can build in CI. Don't get me wrong, I think such a module for a
    quick-start is very important, just giving context on why I bother
    in the first place :)
[3] When we go public, I think it's worth considering to add support in
    nixpkgs itself for Lix.

Qyriad 194ba8a02f docs: guide to installables docs in installable commands' docs
The installables syntax is not documented in any of the man pages or
docbook pages for any of those individual commands. And while these
commands really should at least peripherally individually document how
installables work, in the meantime we can at least direct people to the
right place.

This commit also clarifies the unexpected fact that `nix profile remove`
and `nix profile upgrade` do *not* take installables.

Qyriad aae12f5848 fix nix upgrade-nix on new-style profiles
nix3-profile automatically migrates any profile its used on to its style
of profile -- the ones with manifest.json instead of manifest.nix. On
non-NixOS systems, Nix is conventionally installed to the profile at
/nix/var/nix/profiles/default, so if a user passed that to `--profile`
of `nix profile`, then it would break upgrade-nix from ever working
again, without recreating the profile.

This commit fixes that, and allows upgrade-nix to work on either kind of
profile.

Fixes #16.
