This is useful whenever we want to evaluate something to a store path
(e.g. in get-drvs.cc).
Extracted from the lazy-trees branch (where we can require that a
store path must come from a store source tree accessor).
This was introduced in #6174. However fetch{url,Tarball} are legacy
and we shouldn't have an undocumented attribute that does the same
thing as one that already exists ('sha256').
Starting work on #5638
The exact boundary between `FetchSettings` and `EvalSettings` is not
clear to me, but that's fine. First lets clean out `libstore`, and then
worry about what, if anything, should be the separation between those
two.
To avoid that JSON messages are parsed twice in case of
remote builds with `ssh-ng://`, I split up the original
`handleJSONLogMessage` into three parts:
* `parseJSONMessage(const std::string&)` checks if it's a message in the
form of `@nix {...}` and tries to parse it (and prints an error if the
parsing fails).
* `handleJSONLogMessage(nlohmann::json&, ...)` reads the fields from the
message and passes them to the logger.
* `handleJSONLogMessage(const std::string&, ...)` behaves as before, but
uses the two functions mentioned above as implementation.
In case of `ssh-ng://`-logs the first two methods are invoked manually.
Right now when building a derivation remotely via
$ nix build -j0 -f . hello -L --builders 'ssh://builder'
it's possible later to read through the entire build-log by running
`nix log -f . hello`. This isn't possible however when using `ssh-ng`
rather than `ssh`.
The reason for that is that there are two different ways to transfer
logs in Nix through e.g. an SSH tunnel (that are used by `ssh`/`ssh-ng`
respectively):
* `ssh://` receives its logs from the fd pointing to `builderOut`. This
is directly passed to the "log-sink" (and to the logger on each `\n`),
hence `nix log` works here.
* `ssh-ng://` however expects JSON-like messages (i.e. `@nix {log data
in here}`) and passes it directly to the logger without doing anything
with the `logSink`. However it's certainly possible to extract
log-lines from this format as these have their own message-type in the
JSON payload (i.e. `resBuildLogLine`).
This is basically what I changed in this patch: if the code-path for
`builderOut` is not reached and a `logSink` is initialized, the
message was successfully processed by the JSON logger (i.e. it's in
the expected format) and the line is of the expected type (i.e.
`resBuildLogLine`), the line will be written to the log-sink as well.
Closes#5079
diff-index operates on the view that git has of the working tree,
which might be outdated. The higher-level diff command does this
automatically. This change also adds handling for submodules.
fixes#4140
Alternative fixes would be invoking update-index before diff-index or
matching more closely what require_clean_work_tree from git-sh-setup.sh
does, but both those options make it more difficult to reason about
correctness.
The .git/refs/heads directory might be empty for a valid
usable git repository. This often happens in CI environments,
which might only fetch commits, not branches.
Therefore instead we let git itself check if HEAD points to
something that looks like a commit.

On Nix 2.6 the output of `nix why-depends --all` seems to be somewhat
off:

Please note that `[...]-system-units.drv` is supposed to be a direct
child of `[...]-etc.drv`.
The reason for that is that each new level printed by `printNode` is
four spaces off in comparison to `nix why-depends --precise` because the
recursive `printNode()` only prints the path and not the `tree*`-chars in
the case of `--precise` and in this format the path is four spaces further
indented, i.e. on a newline, but on the same level as the path's children, i.e.
/nix/store/kn47hayxab8gc01jhr98dwyywbx561aq-nixos-system-roflmayr-21.11.20220207.6c202a9.drv
└───/: …1-p8.drv",["out"]),("/nix/store/g8bpgfjhh5vxrdq0w6r6s64f9kkm9z6c-etc.drv",["out"]),("/nix/store/…
→ /nix/store/g8bpgfjhh5vxrdq0w6r6s64f9kkm9z6c-etc.drv
As you can see `[...]-etc.drv` is a direct child of the root, but four
spaces indented. This logic was directly applied to the code-path with
`precise=false` which resulted in `tree*` being printed four spaces too
deep.
In case of no `--precise`, `hits[hash]` is empty and the path itself
should be printed rather than hits using the same logic as for `hits[hash]`.
With this fix, the output looks correct now:

This changes the representation of the interrupt callback list to
be safe to use during interrupt handling.
Holding a lock while executing arbitrary functions is something to
avoid in general, because of the risk of deadlock.
Such a deadlock occurs in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/3294
where ~CurlDownloader tries to deregister its interrupt callback.
This happens during what seems to be a triggerInterrupt() by the
daemon connection's MonitorFdHup thread. This bit I can not confirm
based on the stack trace though; it's based on reading the code,
so no absolute certainty, but a smoking gun nonetheless.
previously :a would override old bindings of a name with new values if the added
set contained names that were already bound. in nix 2.6 this doesn't happen any
more, which is potentially confusing.
fixes#6041
At this point, we don’t know if the input is a flake or not. So, we
should allow the user to override the input with a directory without a
flake.nix.
Ideally, we could figure whether the input was originally a flake or
not, but that would require instantiating the whole flake. So just
allow it to be missing here, and rely on checks later on to verify the
input for us.
Bundlers are now responsible for correctly handling their inputs which
are no longer constrained to be (Drv->Drv)->Drv->Drv, but can be of
type (attrset->Drv)->attrset->Drv.
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.
It’s totally valid to have entries in `NIX_PATH` that aren’t valid paths
(they can even be arbitrary urls or `channel:<channel-name>`).
Fix#5998 and #5980
keeping it as a simple data member means it won't be scanned by the GC, so
eventually the GC will collect a cache that is still referenced (resulting in
use-after-free of cache elements).
fixes#5962
- Make passing the position to `forceValue` mandatory,
this way we remember people that the position is
important for better error messages
- Add pos to all `forceValue` calls
If we want to be careful about hitting the stack protector page, we should use `-fstack-check` instead.

This no longer worked correctly because 'path' is uninitialised when
an exception occurs, leading to errors like
… while importing ''
at /nix/store/rrzz5b1pshvzh1437ac9nkl06br81lkv-source/flake.nix:352:13:
So move the adding of the error context into realisePath().
This was removed in 2e199673a5 when
`copyPath` transitioned to use `RealisedPath`. But then in
e9848beca7 we added it back just for
`realisedPath`.
I think it is a good utility function --- one can easily imagine it
becoming optimized in the future, and copying paths *violating* the
closure is a very niche feature.
So if we have `copyPaths` for both sorts of paths, I think we should
have `copyClosure` for both sorts too.
if we defer the duplicate argument check for lambda formals we can use more
efficient data structures for the formals set, and we can get rid of the
duplication of formals names to boot. instead of a list of formals we've seen
and a set of names we'll keep a vector instead and run a sort+dupcheck step
before moving the parsed formals into a newly created lambda. this improves
performance on search and rebuild by ~1%, pure parsing gains more (about 4%).
this does reorder lambda arguments in the xml output, but the output is still
stable. this shouldn't be a problem since argument order is not semantically
important anyway.

This removes a dynamic stack allocation, making the derivation
unparsing logic robust against overflows when large strings are
added to a derivation.
Overflow behavior depends on the platform and stack configuration.
For instance, x86_64-linux/glibc behaves as (somewhat) expected:
$ (ulimit -s 20000; nix-instantiate tests/lang/eval-okay-big-derivation-attr.nix)
error: stack overflow (possible infinite recursion)
$ (ulimit -s 40000; nix-instantiate tests/lang/eval-okay-big-derivation-attr.nix)
error: expression does not evaluate to a derivation (or a set or list of those)
However, on aarch64-darwin:
$ nix-instantiate big-attr.nix ~
zsh: segmentation fault nix-instantiate big-attr.nix
This indicates a slight flaw in the single stack protection page
approach that is not encountered with normal stack frames.
string expressions by and large do not need the benefits a Symbol gives us,
instead they pollute the symbol table and cause unnecessary overhead for almost
all strings. the one place we can think of that benefits from them (attrpaths
with expressions) extracts the benefit in the parser, which we'll have to touch
anyway when changing ExprString to hold strings.
this gives a sizeable improvement on of 3-5% on all benchmarks we've run.

Unless `--precise` is passed, make `nix why-depends` only show the
dependencies between the store paths, without introspecting them to
find the actual references.
This also makes it ~3x faster
it can be replaced with StringToken if we add another bit if information to
StringToken, namely whether this string should take part in indentation scanning
or not. since all escaping terminates indentation scanning we need to set this
bit only for the non-escaped IND_STRING rule.
this improves performance by about 1%.
