Previously if isStorePath() was called on anything other than a
top-level /nix/store/some-path, it would throw a BadStorePath exception.
This commit duplicates the absolutely trivial check, into
maybeParseStorePath(), and leaves exception throwing to
parseStorePath(), the function that assumes you're already giving a
valid path instead of the one whose purpose is to check if its valid or
not...

* changes:
meson: fix log-dir
manual: build docs with dummy envs
libcmd: install generated headers as well
docs: redo content generation for mdbook and manual
manpages can be rendered using the markdown output of mdbook, the rest
of the manual can generated out of the main doc/manual source tree. we
still use lowdown to actually render manpages instead of eg mdbook-man
because lowdown does generate reasonably good manpages (though that is
also somewhat debatable, but they're a lot better than mdbook-man).
doing this not only lets us drastically simplify the lowdown pipeline,
but also remove all custom {{#include}} handling since now mdbook does
all of it, even for the manpage builds. even the lowdown wrapper isn't
entirely necessary because lowdown can take all wrapper arguments with
command line flags rather than bits of input file content.
This also implements running mdbook in Meson, in order to generate the
manpages. The mdbook outputs are also installed in the usual location.

For a long time `nix repl` has supported displaying documentation set on
builtins, however, it has long been convention to use Markdown comments
on Nix functions themselves for documentation. This exposes that
information to `nix repl` users in a nice and formatted way.
NixOS/rfcs#145 doc-comments are primarily what this feature is intended
to consume, however, support for lambda documentation in the repl is
experimental. We do our best effort to support the RFC here.

setting this only on exceptions caused by actual fd access is not
sufficient to diagnose all errors (such as SerialisationError) in
some cases. this usually does not have any negative effects since
those errors will end up killing the process in another way. this
is not a reliable assumption though and we should be using proper
error handling (and closing connections more often, preferring to
close over keeping something open that might be in a weird state)

not needed yet, but returning a resource from the exception handling
path that has ownership of a handle is currently not well-supported.
we could also add a default constructor to Handle, but then we would
also need to change the pool reference to a pointer. eventually that

clever moves, but since that's not a problem yet we won't do it now.

this is supposed to act like a finally block does in other languages. a
finally block should be able to throw exceptions of its own rather than
just crashing the entire program when it throws it own exceptions. even
in the rare case of a finally throwing an unexpected exception it might
be better to report the exception from Finally instead of the original,
at least that can keep our program running instead of letting it crash.

Functional tests can be run with
`meson test -C build --suite installcheck`.
Notably, functional tests must be run *after* running `meson install`
(Lix's derivation runs the installcheck suite in installCheckPhase so it
does this correctly), due to some quirks between Meson and the testing
system.
As far as I can tell the functional tests are meant to be run after
installing anyway, but unfortunately I can't transparently make
`meson test --suite installcheck` depend on the install targets.
The script that runs the functional tests, meson/run-test.py, checks
that `meson install` has happened and fails fast with a (hopefully)
helpful error message if any of the functional tests are run before
installing.

This was achieved by running maintainers/buildtime_report.sh on the
build directory of a meson build, then asking "why the heck is json
eating our build times", and strategically moving the json using bits
out of widely included headers.
It turns out that putting literally any metrics whatsoever into the
build had immediate and predictable results.
Results are 1382.5s frontend time -> 1175.4s frontend time, back end
time approximately invariant.

As I complained in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6784#issuecomment-1421777030 (a
comment on the wrong PR, sorry again!), #6693 introduced a second
completions mechanism to fix a bug. Having two completion mechanisms
isn't so nice.
As @thufschmitt also pointed out, it was a bummer to go from `FlakeRef`
to `std::string` when collecting flake refs. Now it is `FlakeRefs`
again.
The underlying issue that sought to work around was that completion of
arguments not at the end can still benefit from the information from
latter arguments.
To fix this better, we rip out that change and simply defer all
completion processing until after all the (regular, already-complete)
arguments have been passed.
In addition, I noticed the original completion logic used some global
variables. I do not like global variables, because even if they save
lines of code, they also obfuscate the architecture of the code.
I got rid of them moved them to a new `RootArgs` class, which now has
`parseCmdline` instead of `Args`. The idea is that we have many argument
parsers from subcommands and what-not, but only one root args that owns
the other per actual parsing invocation. The state that was global is
now part of the root args instead.
This did, admittedly, add a bunch of new code. And I do feel bad about
that. So I went and added a lot of API docs to try to at least make the
current state of things clear to the next person.
--
This is needed for RFC 134 (tracking issue #7868). It was very hard to
modularize `Installable` parsing when there were two completion
arguments. I wouldn't go as far as to say it is *easy* now, but at least
it is less hard (and the completions test finally passed).

An attrPath prefix of "." indicates no need to try default attrPath prefixes. For example `nixpkgs#legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.ERROR` searches through

`nixpkgs#.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.ERROR` to only refer to the rooted

If the state SQLite database is configured to use a write-ahead-log, it
creates WAL files in the state directory.
When the state SQLite database is closed by the `nix-daemon` after
builds, those files are removed.
When an unprivileged user would like to open _in read only_ that
database, they cannot do so because they would need to create those WAL
files and they do not have the permission to do so.
For this, SQLite offers a "persistent WAL" feature [1] to leave the WAL
files around, even after closing the database.
This CL enable the persistent WAL mode.

we now keep not a table of all positions, but a table of all origins and
their sizes. position indices are now direct pointers into the virtual
concatenation of all parsed contents. this slightly reduces memory usage
and time spent in the parser, at the cost of not being able to report
positions if the total input size exceeds 4GiB. this limit is not unique
to nix though, rustc and clang also limit their input to 4GiB (although
at least clang refuses to process inputs that are larger, we will not).
this new 4GiB limit probably will not cause any problems for quite a
while, all of nixpkgs together is less than 100MiB in size and already
needs over 700MiB of memory and multiple seconds just to parse. 4GiB
worth of input will easily take multiple minutes and over 30GiB of
memory without even evaluating anything. if problems *do* arise we can
probably recover the old table-based system by adding some tracking to
Pos::Origin (or increasing the size of PosIdx outright), but for time
being this looks like more complexity than it's worth.
since we now need to read the entire input again to determine the
line/column of a position we'll make unsafeGetAttrPos slightly lazy:
mostly the set it returns is only used to determine the file of origin
of an attribute, not its exact location. the thunks do not add
measurable runtime overhead.
notably this change is necessary to allow changing the parser since
apparently nothing supports nix's very idiosyncratic line ending choice
of "anything goes", making it very hard to calculate line/column
positions in the parser (while byte offsets are very easy).

this hasn't shown up much so far because a single line ending *is* a
token, so any file formatted in the usual manner (ie, ending in a line
ending) would have its EOF position reported correctly.

the parser treats a plain \r as a newline, error reports do not. this
can lead to interesting divergences if anything makes use of this
feature, with error reports pointing to wrong locations in the input (or
even outside the input altogether).

previously we reported the error at the beginning of the binding
block (for plain inherits) or the beginning of the attr list (for
inherit-from), effectively hiding where exactly the error happened.
this also carries over to runtime positions of attributes in sets as
reported by unsafeGetAttrPos. we're not worried about this changing
observable eval behavior because it *is* marked unsafe, and the new
behavior is much more useful.

we already normalize attr order to lexicographic, doing the same for
formals makes sense. doubly so because the order of formals would
otherwise depend on the context of the expression, which is not quite as
useful as one might expect.

the parser modifies its inputs, which means that sharing them between
the error context reporting system and the parser itself can confuse the
reporting system. usually this led to early truncation of error context
reports which, while not dangerous, can be quite confusing.

vfork confers a large performance advantage over fork, measured locally
at 16µs per vfork agains 90µs per fork. however nix *almost always*
follows a vfork up with an execve-family call, melting the performance
advantage from 6x to only 15%. in most of those cases it's doing things
that are undefined behavior (like manipulating the heap, or even
throwing exceptions and trashing the parent process stack).
most notably the one place that could benefit from the vfork performance
improvement is linux derivation sandbox setup—which doesn't use vfork.

This builtin is only going to cause us problems because we are not Nix,
so let's just falsify being in the 2.18 series, since that is the
closest target that has any meaning.
In future we might want to have a better feature detection mechanism,
for when we actually add stuff to some builtin's attr set argument. But
builtins.nixVersion is just going to be hopelessly broken and it should
be stubbed out.

diagnose attr duplication at the path the duplication was detected, not
at the path the current attribute wanted to place. doing the latter is
only correct if a leaf attribute was duplicated, not if an attrpath was
set to a non-attrset in one binding and a (potentially implied) attrset
in another binding.

It happens with some frequency that plugins that might be unimportant to
the evaluation at hand mismatch with the nix version, leading to
spurious load failures. Let's make these non fatal.

using the total-attrs-printed and total-list-items-printed counters to
calculate how many attrs were elided only works properly if no nesting
is involved. once things do nest the global counter can exceed the size
of the currently printed object, leading to unsigned wrapping and great
overestimation of elided counts. counting locally in addition to global
counts fixes this.
these are functional tests because creating these objects requires the
evaluator to not be a huge amount of code, and we also want defaults to
be tested for cli usage.

This solves the problem of collections of boxed subclasses with virtual
dispatch, which should still be treated as values, since the
indirection is only there due to the virtual dispatch.

desugaring inherit-from to syntactic duplication of the source expr also
duplicates side effects of the source expr (such as trace calls) and
expensive computations (such as derivationStrict).

deduplication does not currently work fully, showing derivations
multiple times if they have different underlying values. this can happen
by selecting the same derivation twice for two different attributes of a
set, using inherit-from (which reduces to the previous), importing
nixpkgs twice, or any other number of things.
since users already have to deal with duplicates for this reason it
won't hurt to add *more* duplicates. the alternative would be to
deduplicate fully, which would drop derivations that are currently
returned and those pose a regression risk.

for plain inherits this is really just a stylistic choice, but for
inherit-from it actually fixes an exponential size increase problem
during expr printing (as may happen during assertion failure reporting,
on during duplicate attr detection in the parser)

this also has the effect of sorting let bindings lexicographically
rather than by symbol creation order as was previously done, giving a
better canonicalization in the process.

Pretty-print values in the REPL by printing each item in a list or
attrset on a separate line. When possible, single-item lists and
attrsets are printed on one line, as long as they don't contain a nested
list, attrset, or thunk.
Before:
```
{ attrs = { a = { b = { c = { }; }; }; }; list = [ 1 ]; list' = [ 1 2 3 ]; }
```
After:
```
{
attrs = {
a = {
b = {
c = { };
};
};
};
list = [ 1 ];
list' = [
1
2
3
];
}
```

While preparing PRs like #9753, I've had to change error messages in
dozens of code paths. It would be nice if instead of
EvalError("expected 'boolean' but found '%1%'", showType(v))
we could write
TypeError(v, "boolean")
or similar. Then, changing the error message could be a mechanical
refactor with the compiler pointing out places the constructor needs to
be changed, rather than the error-prone process of grepping through the
codebase. Structured errors would also help prevent the "same" error
from having multiple slightly different messages, and could be a first
step towards error codes / an error index.
This PR reworks the exception infrastructure in `libexpr` to
support exception types with different constructor signatures than
`BaseError`. Actually refactoring the exceptions to use structured data
will come in a future PR (this one is big enough already, as it has to
touch every exception in `libexpr`).
The core design is in `eval-error.hh`. Generally, errors like this:
state.error("'%s' is not a string", getAttrPathStr())
.debugThrow<TypeError>()
are transformed like this:
state.error<TypeError>("'%s' is not a string", getAttrPathStr())
.debugThrow()
The type annotation has moved from `ErrorBuilder::debugThrow` to
`EvalState::error`.
