Rather than having them plain strings scattered through the whole
codebase, create an enum containing all the known experimental features.
This means that
- Nix can now `warn` when an unkwown experimental feature is passed
(making it much nicer to spot typos and spot deprecated features)
- It’s now easy to remove a feature altogether (once the feature isn’t
experimental anymore or is dropped) by just removing the field for the
enum and letting the compiler point us to all the now invalid usages
of it.
The garbage collector no longer blocks other processes from
adding/building store paths or adding GC roots. To prevent the
collector from deleting store paths just added by another process,
processes need to connect to the garbage collector via a Unix domain
socket to register new temporary roots.
9c766a40cb broke logging from the
daemon, because commonChildInit is called when starting the build hook
in a vfork, so it ends up resetting the parent's logger. So don't
vfork.
It might be best to get rid of vfork altogether, but that may cause
problems, e.g. when we call an external program like git from the
evaluator.
This fixes a class of crashes and introduces ptr<T> to make the
code robust against this failure mode going forward.
Thanks regnat for the idea of a ref<T> without overhead!

Previously, despite having a boolean that tracked initialization, the
decode characters have been "calculated" every single time a base64
string was being decoded.
With this change we only initialize the decode array once in a
thread-safe manner.
Otherwise I get a compiler error when building for NetBSD:

Fill `NIX_CONFIG` with the value of the current Nix configuration before
calling the post-build-hook.
That way the whole configuration (including the possible
`experimental-features`, a possibly `--store` option or whatever) will
be made available to the hook
Move the `closure` logic of `computeFSClosure` to its own (templated) function.
This doesn’t bring much by itself (except for the ability to properly
test the “closure” functionality independently from the rest), but it
allows reusing it (in particular for the realisations which will require
a very similar closure computation)
When you have a symlink like:
/tmp -> ./private/tmp
you need to resolve ./private/tmp relative to /tmp’s dir: ‘/’. Unlike
any other path output by dirOf, / ends with a slash. We don’t want
trailing slashes here since we will append another slash in the next
comoponent, so clear s like we would if it was a symlink to an absoute
path.
This should fix at least part of the issue in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/4822, will need confirmation that
it actually fixes the problem to close though.
Introduced in f3f228700a.
This function doesn't support all compression methods (i.e. 'none' and
'br') so it shouldn't be exposed.
Also restore the original decompress() as a wrapper around
makeDecompressionSink().
The S3 store relies on the ability to be able to decompress things with
an empty method, because it just passes the value of the Content-Encoding
directly to decompress.
If the file is not compressed, then this will cause the compression
routine to get confused.
This caused NixOS/nixpkgs#120120.
