repl-overlays: Provide an elaborate example
This is the repl overlay from my dotfiles, which I think provides a
reasonable and ergonomic set of variables. We can iterate on this over
time, or (perhaps?) provide a sentinel value like `repl-overlays =
<DEFAULT>` to include a "suggested default" overlay like this one.

eldritch horrors d75df91f74 libstore: add build result to Goal::Finished
it just makes sense to have it too, rather than just the pass/fail
information we keep so far. once we turn goals into something more
promise-shaped it'll also help detangle the current data flow mess

eldritch horrors dc0cace604 libstore: remove queryMissing call from Worker
it doesn't have a purpose except cache priming, which is largely
irrelevant by default (since another code path already runs this
exact query). our store implementations do not benefit that much
from this either, and the more bursty load may indeed harm them.

eldritch horrors e0fd0ba211 libstore: use notifications for stats counters
updating statistics *immediately* when any counter changes declutters
things somewhat and makes useful status reports less dependent on the
current worker main loop. using callbacks will make it easier to move
the worker loop into kj entirely, using only promises for scheduling.

eldritch horrors c2b90d235f libstore: don't ContinueImmediately where we can tail call
there's no reason to go through the event loop in these cases. returning
ContinueImmediately here is just a very convoluted way of jumping to the
state we've just set after unwinding one frame of the stack, which never
matters in the cases changed here because there are no live RAII guards.

eldritch horrors e55ec75619 libstore: print dependency errors from DerivationGoal
this is not ideal, but it's better than having this stuck in the worker
loop itself. setting ex on all failing goals is not problematic because
only toplevel goals can ever be observable, all the others are ignored.
notably only derivation goals ever set `ex`, substitution goals do not.

eldritch horrors 869666cb65 libstore: hide Worker goal factory methods
this doesn't serve a great purpose yet except to confine construction of
goals to the stack frame of Worker::run() and its child frames. we don't
need this yet (and the goal constructors remain fully visible), but in a
future change that fully removes the current worker loop we'll need some
way of knowing which goals are top-level goals without passing the goals
themselves around. once that's possible we can remove visible goals as a
concept and rely on build result futures and a scheduler built upon them

eldritch horrors a5c1e73fa8 libstore: add "is dependency" info to goal
whether goal errors are reported via the `ex` member or just printed to
the log depends on whether the goal is a toplevel goal or a dependency.
if goals are aware of this themselves we can move error printing out of
the worker loop, and since a running worker can only be used by running
goals it's totally sufficient to keep a `Worker::running` flag for this

tree-wide: shuffle headers around for about 30s compile time
This didn't really feel so worth it afterwards, but I did untangle a
bunch of stuff that should not have been tangled.

The general gist of this change is that variant bullshit was causing a
bunch of compile time, and it seems like the only way to deal with
variant induced compile time is to keep variant types out of headers.
Explicit template instantiation seems to do nothing for them.

I also seem to have gotten some back-end time improvement from
explicitly instantiating regex, but I don't know why. There is no
corresponding front-end time improvement from it: regex is still at the
top of the sinners list.

treewide: fix a bunch of lints
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.

clang-only. This brings the clang build time to not far from *half* of
the gcc build time.

Also, clang does not enjoy so much to miscompile coroutines. Maybe we
should just be clang-only.

jade 9aacf425dc fix: use http proxy for s3 access
I don't know why the AWS sdk disabled it by default. It would be nice
to have test coverage of the s3 store or proxies, but neither currently
exist.

jade 87fd6e0095 Merge "Revert "libexpr: Replace regex engine with boost::regex"" into main 2024-08-22 22:34:10 +00:00
jade 9896d309cb Revert "libexpr: Replace regex engine with boost::regex"
This reverts commit 447212fa65.

Reason for revert: Regression in eval behaviour bug-compatibility.

Expected behaviour (Nix 2.18.5, macOS and Linux [libstdc++/libc++]):

```
nix-repl> builtins.match "\\.*(.*)" ".keep"
[ "keep" ]

nix-repl> builtins.match "(\\.*)(.*)" ".keep"
[ "." "keep" ]
```

Actual behaviour (boost::regex):

```
nix-repl> builtins.match "\\.*(.*)" ".keep"
[ ".keep" ]

nix-repl> builtins.match "(\\.*)(.*)" ".keep"
[
  "."
  "keep"
]
```

Bug: #483

sugar🍬🍭🏳️‍⚧️ 447212fa65 libexpr: Replace regex engine with boost::regex
This avoids C++'s standard library regexes, which aren't the same
across platforms, and have many other issues, like using stack
so much that they stack overflow when processing a lot of data.

To avoid backwards and forward compatibility issues, regexes are
processed using a function converting libstdc++ regexes into Boost
regexes, escaping characters that Boost needs to have escaped, and
rejecting features that Boost has and libstdc++ doesn't.

Related context:

- Original failed attempt to use `boost::regex` in CppNix, failed due to
  boost icu dependency being large (disabling ICU is no longer necessary
  because linking ICU requires using a different header file,
  `boost/regex/icu.hpp`): https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/3826

- An attempt to use PCRE, rejected due to providing less backwards
  compatibility with `std::regex` than `boost::regex`:
  https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7336

- Second attempt to use `boost::regex`, failed due to `}` regex failing
  to compile (dealt with by writing a wrapper that parses a regular
  expression and escapes `}` characters):
  https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7762

Closes #34. Closes #476.

jade 651cc0e5b4 fix: build with meson 1.5 also
nixpkgs delivered us the untimely gift of a meson 1.5 upgrade, which
*does* make our lives easier by allowing us to delete wrap generation
code, but it does so at the cost of renaming all rust crates in such a
way that the wrap logic cannot tolerate the new names on the old meson
version 😭.

It also means that support burden for this is going to be atrocious
until we either give in and vendor meson 1.5 or we make a CI target for
it. Neither seems appealing, though the latter is not super absurd for
ensuring we don't break nixpkgs unstable.

This commit causes meson 1.5 to ignore the .wrap files in subprojects/
entirely (since they have the wrong names lol) and instead use
Cargo.lock, so it now hard-depends on our workspace reshuffling
improvement.

It also deletes the hack that we were using to get the sources of Cargo
deps into meson by using a feature that went unnoticed when this code
was originally written: MESON_PACKAGE_CACHE_DIR:
8a202de6ec/mesonbuild/wrap/wrap.py (L490-L502)

libutil/config: unify path setting types
There have been multiple setting types for paths that are supposed to be
canonicalised, depending on whether zero or one, one, or any number of paths is
to be specified. Naturally, they behaved in slightly different ways in the
code. Simplify things by unifying them and removing special behaviour (mainly
the "multiple paths type can coerce to boolean" thing).
