Flex's regexes have an annoying feature: the dot matches everything
except a newline. This causes problems for expressions like:
"${0}\
"
where the backslash-newline combination matches this rule instead of the
intended one mentioned in the comment:
<STRING>\$|\\|\$\\ {
/* This can only occur when we reach EOF, otherwise the above
(...|\$[^\{\"\\]|\\.|\$\\.)+ would have triggered.
This is technically invalid, but we leave the problem to the
parser who fails with exact location. */
return STR;
}
However, the parser actually accepts the resulting token sequence
('"' DOLLAR_CURLY 0 '}' STR '"'), which is a problem because the lexer
rule didn't assign anything to yylval. Ultimately this leads to a crash
when dereferencing a NULL pointer in ExprConcatStrings::bindVars().
The fix does change the syntax of the language in some corner cases
but I think it's only turning previously invalid (or crashing) syntax
to valid syntax. E.g.
"a\
b"
and
''a''\
b''
were previously syntax errors but now both result in "a\nb".

Otherwise, running e.g.
nix-instantiate --eval -E --strict 'builtins.replaceStrings [""] ["X"] "abc"'
would just hang in an infinite loop.

First attempt of this was reverted in e2d71bd186 because it caused
another infinite loop, which is fixed now and a test added.
This is important since this is given as an example.
Other patterns containing "empty search string" will still
be handled differently on different platforms ("asdf|")
but that's less of an issue.
The overhead of sandbox builds is a problem on NixOS (since building a
NixOS configuration involves a lot of small derivations) but not for
typical non-NixOS use cases. So outside of NixOS we can enable it.
Issue #179.
The assertion is broken because there is no one-to-one mapping from
length of a base64 string to the length of the output.
E.g.
"1q69lz7Empb06nzfkj651413n9icx0njmyr3xzq1j9q=" results in a 32-byte output.
"1q69lz7Empb06nzfkj651413n9icx0njmyr3xzq1j9qy" results in a 33-byte output.
To reproduce, evaluate:
builtins.derivationStrict {
name = "0";
builder = "0";
system = "0";
outputHashAlgo = "sha256";
outputHash = "1q69lz7Empb06nzfkj651413n9icx0njmyr3xzq1j9qy";
}
