Before this change, expressions like:
with import <nixpkgs> {};
runCommand "foo" {} ''
echo '@nix {}' >&$NIX_LOG_FD
''
would result in Lix crashing, because accessing nonexistent fields of
a JSON object throws an exception.
Rather than handling each field individually, we just catch JSON
exceptions wholesale. Since these log messages are an unusual
circumstance, log a warning when this happens.
Fixes#544.

This commit was verified by running nix-shell on a trivial derivation
with --debug --verbose to get the vomit-level output of the shell rc
file and then diffing it before/after this change. I have reasonable
confidence it did not regress anything, though this code is genuinely
really hard to follow (which is a second reason that I split it into two
fmt calls).

A better fix than in 104448e75d, hence a
revert + the fix.
It turns out that this commit has the side-effect that when having e.g.
`StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new` for a remote builder, the warnings à la
Warning: Permanently added 'builder' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts.
actually end up in the derivation's log whereas hostkey verification
errors don't, but only in the stderr of the `nix-build` invocation
(which was the motivation for the patch).
This change writes the stderr from the build-hook to
* the daemon's stderr, so that the SSH errors appear in the journal
(which was the case before 104448e75d)
* the client's stderr, as a log message
* NOT to the drv log (this is handled via `handleJSONLogMessage`)
I tried to fix the issue for legacy-ssh as well, but failed and
ultimately decided to not bother.
I know that we'll sooner or later replace the entire component, however
this is the part of the patch I have working for a while, so I figured I
might still submit it for the time being.

such a NAR will cause its repacking to be wrong on systems with case

This also rewrites a lot of the command handling in the fixtures
library, since we want to more precisely control which way that the nix
store is set up in the tests, rather than the previous method of
renaming /nix/store to some temp dir (which allows builds but does not
allow any /nix/store paths or stability across runs, which is a
significant issue for snapshot testing).
It uses a builder to reduce the amount of state carelessly thrown
around.

There was a bug report about a potential call to `memcpy` with a null
pointer which is not reproducible:
#492
This occurred in `src/libstore/filetransfer.cc` in `InnerSource::read`.
To ensure that this doesn't happen, an early return is added before
calling `memcpy` if the length of the data to be copied is 0.
This change also adds a test that ensures that when `InnerSource::read`
is called with an empty file, it throws an `EndOfFile` exception.

with async runtime scheduling we can no longer guarantee exact error
counts for builds that do not set keepGoing. the old behavior can be
recovered with a number of hacks that affect scheduling, but none of
those are very easy to follow now advisable. exact error counts will

better check the actual messages rather than how many they got. more

A new `liblegacy` build target is defined, and the `nix` binary is

the new event loop could very occasionally notice that a dependency of
some goal has failed, process the failure, cause the depending goal to
fail accordingly, and in the doing of the latter two steps let further
dependencies that previously have not been reported as failed do their

failed", but more than one dependency failure message was shown. we'll
now report the correct number of failed dependency goals in all cases.

Since fb38459d6e, each `ref` is appended
with `refs/heads` unless it starts with `refs/` already. This regressed
two use-cases that worked fine before:
* Specifying a commit hash as `ref`: now, if `ref` looks like a commit
hash it will be directly passed to `git fetch`.
* Specifying a tag without `refs/tags` as prefix: now, the fetcher prepends
`refs/*` to a ref that doesn't start with `refs/` and doesn't look
like a commit hash. That way, both a branch and a tag specified in
`ref` can be fetched.
The order of preference in git is
* file in `refs/` (e.g. `HEAD`)
* file in `refs/tags/`
* file in `refs/heads` (i.e. a branch)
After fetching `refs/*`, ref is resolved the same way as git does.

When `nix fmt` is called without an argument, Nix appends the "." argument before calling the formatter. The comment in the code is:
> Format the current flake out of the box
This also happens when formatting sub-folders.
This means that the formatter is now unable to distinguish, as an interface, whether the "." argument is coming from the flake or the user's intent to format the current folder. This decision should be up to the formatter.
Treefmt, for example, will automatically look up the project's root and format all the files. This is the desired behaviour. But because the "." argument is passed, it cannot function as expected.

These stack traces kind of suck for the reasons mentioned on the
CppTrace page here (no symbols for inline functions is a major one):
https://github.com/jeremy-rifkin/cpptrace
I would consider using CppTrace if it were packaged, but to be honest, I
think that the more reasonable option is actually to move entirely to
out-of-process crash handling and symbolization.
The reason for this is that if you want to generate anything of
substance on SIGSEGV or really any deadly signal, you are stuck in
async-signal-safe land, which is not a place to be trying to run a
symbolizer. LLVM does it anyway, probably carefully, and chromium *can*
do it on debug builds but in general uses crashpad:
https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:base/debug/stack_trace_posix.cc;l=974;drc=82dff63dbf9db05e9274e11d9128af7b9f51ceaa;bpv=1;bpt=1
However, some stack traces are better than *no* stack traces when we get
mystery exceptions falling out the bottom of the program. I've also
promoted the path for "mystery exceptions falling out the bottom of the
program" to hard crash and generate a core dump because although there's
been some months since the last one of these, these are nonetheless
always *atrociously* diagnosed.
We can't improve the crash handling further until either we use Crashpad
(which involves more C++ deps, no thanks) or we put in the ostensibly
work in progress Rust minidump infrastructure, in which case we need to
finish full support for Rust in libutil first.

This caused an infinite loop before since it would just keep asking the
underlying source for more data.
In practice this happened because an HTTP server served a
response to a HEAD request (for which curl will not retrieve any body or
call our write callback function) with Content-Encoding: br, leading to
decompressing nothing at all and going into an infinite loop.
This adds a test to make sure none of our compression methods do that
again, as well as just patching the HTTP client to never feed empty data
into a compression algorithm (since they absolutely have the right to
throw CompressionError on unexpectedly-short streams!).

Fixes:
- Identifiers starting with _ are prohibited
- Some driveby header dependency cleaning which wound up with doing some
extra fixups.
- Fucking C style casts, man. C++ made these 1000% worse by letting you
also do memory corruption with them with references.
- Remove casts to Expr * where ExprBlackHole is an incomplete type by
introducing an explicitly-cast eBlackHoleAddr as Expr *.
- An incredibly illegal cast of the text bytes of the StorePath hash
into a size_t directly. You can't DO THAT.
Replaced with actually parsing the hash so we get 100% of the bits
being entropy, then memcpying the start of the hash. If this shows
up in a profile we should just make the hash parser faster with a
lookup table or something sensible like that.
- This horrendous bit of UB which I thankfully slapped a deprecation
warning on, built, and it didn't trigger anywhere so it was dead
code and I just deleted it. But holy crap you *cannot* do that.
inline void mkString(const Symbol & s)
{
mkString(((const std::string &) s).c_str());
}
- Some wrong lints. Lots of wrong macro lints, one wrong
suspicious-sizeof lint triggered by the template being instantiated
with only pointers, but the calculation being correct for both
pointers and not-pointers.
- Exceptions in destructors strike again. I tried to catch the
exceptions that might actually happen rather than all the exceptions
imaginable. We can let the runtime hard-kill it on other exceptions
imo.

I managed to trigger the issue by having the following inputs (shortened):
authentik-nix.url = "github:nix-community/authentik-nix";
authentik-nix.inputs.poetry2nix.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
When evaluating this using

I got the following error:
error: cannot update unlocked flake input 'authentik-nix/poetry2nix' in pure mode
The issue we have here is that `authentik-nix/poetry2nix` was written
into the `overrideMap` which caused Nix to assume it's a new input and
tried to refetch it (#460) or errored out in pure mode
(nix-eval-jobs / Hydra).
The testcase unfortunately only involves checking for the output log
and makes sure that something *is* logged on the first fetch so that
the test doesn't rot when the logging changes since I didn't
manage to trigger the error above with the reproducer from #460. In
fact, I only managed to trigger the `cannot update unlocked flake input`
error in this context with `nix-eval-jobs`.

Currently, the parser relies on the global experimental feature flags.
In order to properly test conditional language features, we instead need
to pass it around in the parser::State.
This means that the parser cannot cache the result of isEnabled anymore,
which wouldn't necessarily hurt performance if the function didn't
perform a linear search on the list of enabled features on every single
call. While we could simply evaluate once at the start of parsing and
cache the result in the parser state, the more sustainable solution
would be to fix `isEnabled` such that all callers may profit from the
performance improvement.

The original attempt at this introduced a regression; this commit
reverts the revert and fixes the regression.
This reverts commit 3e151d4d77.
Fix to the regression:
flakeref: fix handling of `?dir=` param for flakes in subdirs
As reported in #419[1], accessing a flake in a subdir of a Git
repository fails with the previous commit[2] applied with the error
error: unsupported Git input attribute 'dir'
The problem is that the `dir`-param is inserted into the parsed URL if a
flake is fetched from the subdir of a Git repository. However, for the
fetching part this isn't even needed. The fix is to just pass `subdir`
as second argument to `FlakeRef` (which needs a `basedir` that can be
empty) and leave the parsedURL as-is.
Added a regression test to make sure we don't run into this again.

hard to actually add the syscall to the blocklist when building against a C
library that doesn't know about it yet. For a recent demonstration of this
happening in practice to Nix, see the introduction of fchmodat2 [0] [1].
The allowlist approach does not share the same drawback. While it does require
a rather large list of harmless syscalls to be maintained in the codebase,
failing to update this list (and roll out the update to all users) in time has
rather benign effects; at worst, very recent programs that already rely on new
syscalls will fail with an error the same way they would on a slightly older
kernel that doesn't support them yet. Most importantly, no unintended new ways
of performing dangerous operations will be silently allowed.
Another possible drawback is reduced system call performance due to the larger
filter created by the allowlist requiring more computation [2]. However, this
issue has not convincingly been demonstrated yet in practice, for example in
systemd or various browsers. To the contrary, it has been measured that the the
actual filter constructed here has approximately the same overhead as a very
simple filter blocking only one system call.
This commit tries to keep the behavior as close to unchanged as possible. The
system call list is in line with libseccomp 2.5.5 and glibc 2.39, which are the
latest versions at the point of writing. Since libseccomp 2.5.5 is already a
requirement and the distributions shipping this together with older versions of
glibc are mostly not a thing any more, this should not lead to more build
failures any more.

This removes a *whole load* of variables from scope and enforces thread
boundaries with the type system.
There is not much change of significance in here, so the things to watch
out for while reviewing it are primarily that the destructor ordering
may have changed inadvertently, I think.

When the configured maximum depth has been reached, attribute sets and lists
are printed with ellipsis to indicate the elision of nested items. Previously,
this happened even in case the structure being printed is empty, so that such
items do not in fact exist. This is confusing, so stop doing it.

The repeated value detection logic exists so that the occurrence of large
common substructures does not fill up the screen or the computer's memory.
However, empty attribute sets and derivations (when their detection is enabled)
are always cheap to print, and in practice I have observed them to make up a
significant majority of the cases where I was annoyed by the repeated value
detection kicking in. Furthermore, `nix-instantiate --eval` already disables
this logic for empty attribute sets, and empty lists are already exempted
everywhere. For these reasons, always print empty attribute sets and
derivations as what they are.

When pretty-printing is enabled, previously an unforced thunk would trigger
indentation, even when it subsequently does not evaluate to a nested structure.
The resulting output looked inconsistent, and furthermore pretty-printing was
not idempotent (since pretty-printing the same value again, which is now fully
evaluated, will not trigger indentation).
When strict evaluation is enabled, force the item before inspecting its type,
so that it is properly known whether it contains a nested structure.
Furthermore, there is no need to cause indentation for unforced thunks, since
the very next operation will be printing them as `«thunk»`.
This is mostly a port of https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11100 , but we only
force the item when it's going to be forced anyway due to strict
pretty-printing, and a new test was written since the REPL testing framework in
Lix is different.

Previous test implementation assumed that grep supports newlines
in patterns. It doesn't, so tests spuriously passed, even though
some tests outputs were broken.
This patches output (and expected output) before grepping,
so there're no newlines in pattern.

this is cursed. deeply and profoundly cursed. under NO CIRCUMSTANCES
must protocol serializer helpers be applied to temporaries! doing so
will inevitably cause dangling references and cause the entire thing
to crash. we need to do this even so to get rid of boost coroutines,
and likewise to encapsulate the serializers we suffer today at least
a little bit to allow a gradual migration to an actual IPC protocol.
(this isn't a problem that's unique to generators. c++ coroutines in
general cannot safely take references to arbitrary temporaries since
c++ does not have a lifetime system that can make this safe. -sigh-)

This also bans various sneaking of negative numbers from the language
into unsuspecting builtins as was exposed while auditing the
consequences of changing the Nix language integer type to a newtype.
It's unlikely that this change comprehensively ensures correctness when
passing integers out of the Nix language and we should probably add a
checked-narrowing function or something similar, but that's out of scope
for the immediate change.
During the development of this I found a few fun facts about the
language:
- You could overflow integers by converting from unsigned JSON values.
- You could overflow unsigned integers by converting negative numbers
into them when going into Nix config, into fetchTree, and into flake
inputs.
The flake inputs and Nix config cannot actually be tested properly
since they both ban thunks, however, we put in checks anyway because
it's possible these could somehow be used to do such shenanigans some
other way.
Note that Lix has banned Nix language integer overflows since the very
first public beta, but threw a SIGILL about them because we run with
-fsanitize=signed-overflow -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error in
production builds. Since the Nix language uses signed integers, overflow
was simply undefined behaviour, and since we defined that to trap, it
did.
Trapping on it was a bad UX, but we didn't even entirely notice
that we had done this at all until it was reported as a bug a couple of
months later (which is, to be fair, that flag working as intended), and
it's got enough production time that, aside from code that is IMHO buggy
(and which is, in any case, not in nixpkgs) such as
#445, we don't think
anyone doing anything reasonable actually depends on wrapping overflow.
Even for weird use cases such as doing funny bit crimes, it doesn't make
sense IMO to have wrapping behaviour, since two's complement arithmetic
overflow behaviour is so *aggressively* not what you want for *any* kind
of mathematics/algorithms. The Nix language exists for package
management, a domain where bit crimes are already only dubiously in
scope to begin with, and it makes a lot more sense for that domain for
the integers to never lose precision, either by throwing errors if they
would, or by being arbitrary-precision.
This change will be ported to CppNix as well, to maintain language
consistency.

the rewriting sink was just broken. when given a rewrite set that
contained a key that is also a proper infix of another key it was
possible to produce an incorrectly rewritten result if the writer
used the wrong block size. fixing this duplicates rewriteStrings,
to avoid this we'll rewrite rewriteStrings to use RewritingSource
in a new mode that'll allow rewrites we had previously forbidden.

`nix-collect-garbage --dry-run` previously elided the entire garbage
collection check, meaning that it would just exit the script without
printing anything.
This change makes the dry run flag instead set the GC action to
`gcReturnDead` rather than `gcDeleteDead`, and then continue with the
script. So if you set `--dry-run`, it will print the paths it *would*
have garbage collected, but not actually delete them.
I filed a bug for this: #432 but then realised I could give fixing it a go myself.

generators are a better basis for serializers than streaming into sinks
as we do currently for many reasons, such as being usable as sources if
one wishes to (without requiring an intermediate sink to serialize full
data sets into memory, or boost coroutines to turn sinks into sources),
composing more naturally (as one can just yield a sub-generator instead
of being forced to wrap entire substreams into clunky functions or even
more clunky custom types to implement operator<< on), allowing wrappers
to transform data with clear ownership semantics (removing the need for
explicit memory allocations and Source wrappers), and many other things

this will be the basis of non-boost coroutines in lix. anything that is
a boost coroutine *should* be representable with a Generator coroutine,
and many things that are not currently boost coroutines but behave much
like one (such as, notably, serializers) should be as well. this allows
us to greatly simplify many things that look like iteration but aren't.

Previously, the progress bar had two subtly different states in which the bar
would not actually render, both with their own shortcomings: inactive (which
was irreversible) and paused (reversible, but swallowing logs). Furthermore,
there was no way of resetting the statistics, so a very bad solution was
implemented (243c0f18da) that would create a new
logger for each line of the repl, leaking the previous one and discarding the
value of printBuildLogs. Finally, if stderr was not attached to a TTY, the
update thread was started even though the logger was not active, violating the
invariant required by the destructor (which is not observed because the logger
is leaked).
In this commit, the two aforementioned states are unified into a single one,
which can be exited again, correctly upholds the invariant that the update
thread is only running while the progress bar is active, and does not swallow
logs. The latter change in behavior is not expected to be a problems in the
rare cases where the paused state was used before, since other loggers (like
the simple one) don't exhibit it anyway. The startProgressBar/stopProgressBar
API is removed due to being a footgun, and a new method for properly resetting
the progress is added.
