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.

These now have equivalents in the standard lib in C++20. This change was
performed with a custom clang-tidy check which I will submit later.
Executed like so:
ninja -C build && run-clang-tidy -checks='-*,nix-*' -load=build/libnix-clang-tidy.so -p .. -fix ../tests | tee -a clang-tidy-result

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.

-O3 does not measurably improve performance of the resulting binaries,
neither with lto enabled nor with lto disabled. what it does to however
is cause gcc warning spew in libstdc++ that we can't do anything
about (and that upon inspection of libstdc++ source looks like a gcc
bug).

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.

This is because they are unrepresentable in the source files with
commentary but not in the output, so we should just eat them in
normalization. It's ok.

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 lets us set per-test-program environment variables rather than only
a single, global default. this was supported in nix originally but
might've gone partially missing in the upstream backports process?

This has some Flaws for sure (like, it is going to be a bit stretched to
use for repl characterization), but it is a start.

This is definitely not a stable thing, but it does feel slightly crimes
to put it as an experimental feature. Shrug, up for bikeshedding.

This series takes a somewhat different approach from the flake rework
done in NixOS/nix. The package.nix here does not provide callPackage
options for all the various settings in the build, and instead the other
places Nix derivations are used (like internal-api-docs) will .overrideAttrs
the normal Nix package derivation. This more closely matches how these
things were structured originally, and results in less churn and more
atomicity in these changes.
In the future, package.nix likely will migrate to have more build
options in the callPackage arguments, but we are also planning to
rewrite the build system anyway.

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.
