This reverts some parts of commit
8430a8f086 which was trying to rethrow
some exceptions while we weren’t in the context of a `catch` block,
causing some weird “terminate called without an active exception”
errors.
Fix#5368
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.
Before the changes when building the whole system with
`contentAddressedByDefault = true;` we get many noninformative messages:
$ nix build -f nixos system --keep-going

Let's downgrade these messages down to debug().
I had started the trend of doing `std::visit` by value (because a type
error once mislead me into thinking that was the only form that
existed). While the optomizer in principle should be able to deal with
extra coppying or extra indirection once the lambdas inlined, sticking
with by reference is the conventional default. I hope this might even
improve performance.
This actually bit me quite recently in `nixpkgs` because I assumed that
`nix-build --check` would also error out if hashes don't match anymore[1]
and so I wrongly assumed that I couldn't reproduce the mismatch error.
The fix is rather simple, during the output registration a so-called
`delayedException` is instantiated e.g. if a FOD hash-mismatch occurs.
However, in case of `nix-build --check` (or `--rebuild` in case of `nix
build`), the code-path where this exception is thrown will never be
reached.
By adding that check to the if-clause that causes an early exit in case
of `bmCheck`, the issue is gone. Also added a (previously failing)
test-case to demonstrate the problem.
[1] https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/139238, the underlying issue
was that `nix-prefetch-git` returns different hashes than `fetchgit`
because the latter one fetches submodules by default.
Before this commit, the dns lookup in preloadNSS would still go through
nscd. This did not have the effect of loading the nss_dns.so as expected
(nss_dns.so being out of reach from within the sandbox).
Should LOCALDOMAIN environment variable be defined, nss will completely
avoid nscd and will do its dns resolution on its own.
By temporarly setting LOCALDOMAIN variable before calling in NSS, we can
force NSS to load the shared libraries as expected.

Store paths are only allowed to contain a limited subset of the
alphabet, which doesn’t include `!`. So don’t create lockfiles that
contain this `!` character as that would otherwise confuse (and break)
the gc.
Fix#5176
This replaces the O(n) search complexity in our insert code with a
lookup of O(log n). It also makes removing waitees easier as we can use
the extract method provided by the set class.
With this, we don't have to copy the entire .drv closure to the
destination store ahead of time (or at all). Instead, buildPaths()
reads .drv files from the eval store and copies inputSrcs to the
destination store if it needs to build a derivation.
Issue #5025.
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
Add an access-control list to the realisations in recursive-nix (similar
to the already existing one for store paths), so that we can build
content-addressed derivations in the restricted store.
Fix#4353
This way no derivation has to expect that these files are in the `cwd`
during the build. This is problematic for `nix-shell` where these files
would have to be inserted into the nix-shell's `cwd` which can become
problematic with e.g. recursive `nix-shell`.
To remain backwards-compatible, the location inside the build sandbox
will be kept, however using these files directly should be deprecated
from now on.
This is needed to push the adoption of structured attrs[1] forward. It's
now checked if a `__json` exists in the environment-map of the derivation
to be openend in a `nix-shell`.
Derivations with structured attributes enabled also make use of a file
named `.attrs.json` containing every environment variable represented as
JSON which is useful for e.g. `exportReferencesGraph`[2]. To
provide an environment similar to the build sandbox, `nix-shell` now
adds a `.attrs.json` to `cwd` (which is mostly equal to the one in the
build sandbox) and removes it using an exit hook when closing the shell.
To avoid leaking internals of the build-process to the `nix-shell`, the
entire logic to generate JSON and shell code for structured attrs was
moved into the `ParsedDerivation` class.

Useful when we're using a daemon with a chroot store, e.g.
$ NIX_DAEMON_SOCKET_PATH=/tmp/chroot/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket nix-daemon --store /tmp/chroot
Then the client can now connect with
$ nix build --store unix:///tmp/chroot/nix/var/nix/daemon-socket/socket?root=/tmp/chroot nixpkgs#hello
