this is only used in one place, and only to set a nicer error message on
EndOfFile. the only caller that actually *catches* this exception should
provide an error message in that catch block rather than forcing support
for setting error message so deep into the stack. copyStorePath is never
called outside of PathSubstitutionGoal anyway, which catches everything.

The original idea was to fix lix#174, but for a user friendly solution,
I figured that we'd need more consistency:
* Invalid query params will cause an error, just like invalid
attributes. This has the following two consequences:
* The `?dir=`-param from flakes will be removed before the URL to be
fetched is passed to libfetchers.
* The tarball fetcher doesn't allow URLs with custom query params
anymore. I think this was questionable anyways given that an
arbitrary set of query params was silently removed from the URL you
wanted to fetch. The correct way is to use an attribute-set
with a key `url` that contains the tarball URL to fetch.
* Same for the git & mercurial fetchers: in that case it doesn't even
matter though: both fetchers added unused query params to the URL
that's passed from the input scheme to the fetcher (`url2` in the code).
It turns out that this was never used since the query parameters were
erased again in `getActualUrl`.
* Validation happens for both attributes and URLs. Previously, a lot of
fetchers validated e.g. refs/revs only when specified in a URL and
the validity of attribute names only in `inputFromAttrs`.
Now, all the validation is done in `inputFromAttrs` and `inputFromURL`
constructs attributes that will be passed to `inputFromAttrs`.
* Accept all attributes as URL query parameters. That also includes
lesser used ones such as `narHash`.
And "output" attributes like `lastModified`: these could be declared
already when declaring inputs as attribute rather than URL. Now the
behavior is at least consistent.
Personally, I think we should differentiate in the future between
"fetched input" (basically the attr-set that ends up in the lock-file)
and "unfetched input" earlier: both inputFrom{Attrs,URL} entrypoints
are probably OK for unfetched inputs, but for locked/fetched inputs
a custom entrypoint should be used. Then, the current entrypoints
wouldn't have to allow these attributes anymore.

If we've consumed the entire input, that doesn't actually mean we're
done decompressing - there might be more output left. This worked (?)
in most cases because the input and output sizes are pretty comparable,
but sometimes they're not and then things get very funny.

Unfetched submodules are included as empty directories in archives, so they end
up as such in the store when fetched in clean mode. Make sure the same happens
in dirty mode too. Fortunately, they are already correctly represented in the
ls-files output, so we just need to make sure to include the empty directory in
our filter.

The boehmgc changes are bundled into this commit because doing otherwise
would require an annoying dance of "adding compatibility for < 8.2.6 and

-- jade resubmit changes --
This is a resubmission of https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1418, which
was reverted in https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1432 for breaking CI
evaluation without being detected.
I have run `nix flake check -Lv` on this one before submission and it
passes on my machine and crucially without eval errors, so the CI result
should be accurate.
It seems like someone renamed forbiddenDependenciesRegex to
forbiddenDependenciesRegexes in nixpkgs and also changed the type
incompatibly. That's pretty silly, but at least it's just an eval error.
Also, `xonsh` regressed the availability of `xonsh-unwrapped`, but it
was fixed by us in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/317636, which
is now in our channel, so we update nixpkgs compared to the original
iteration of this to simply get that.
We originally had a regression related to some reorganization of the
nixpkgs lib test suite in which there was broken parameter passing.
This, too, we got quickfixed in nixpkgs, so we don't need any changes
for it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/317772

The libcmd unit test creates files (more specifically, the fetcher cache) in
its home directory. In the single-user sandbox, this leads to the creation of
/homeless-shelter, since this is the default HOME and the root is writable.
Unfortunately, this conflicts with the assumption of the functional tests that
this directory does not exist. Use a different home directory to prevent these
test failures, and thus restore the ability to build inside the single-user
sandbox.

Since ad8a4b380e, the version printer returns "nix (Lix, like Nix) 2.x",
hence the `daemonVersion` was being set to the string "like".
Using `compareVersions` with a letter compares them lexicographically:
builtins.compareVersions "like" "2.12pre20230103" // => -1
builtins.compareVersions "like" "2.16.0" // => -1
This caused that `isDaemonNewer` always returned 1, falsy in Bash terms.
Therefore, the test suite skipped those tests where they use it.

It seems like someone implemented precompiled headers a long time ago
and then it never got ported to meson or maybe didn't work at all.
This is, however, blessedly easy to simply implement. I went looking for
`#define` that could affect the result of precompiling the headers, and
as far as I can tell we aren't doing any of that, so this should truly
just be free build time savings.

Basically I'd expect the same behavior as with `nix-build`, i.e.
with `--keep-going` the hash-mismatch error of each failing
fixed-output derivation is shown.
The approach is derived from `Store::buildPaths` (`entry-point.cc`):
instead of throwing the first build-result, check if there are any build
errors and if so, display all of them and throw after that.
Unfortunately, the BuildResult struct doesn't have an `ErrorInfo`
(there's a FIXME for that at least), so I have to construct my own here.
This is a rather cheap bugfix and I decided against touching too many
parts of libstore for that (also I don't know if that's in line with the
ongoing refactoring work).

Some tests were failing on darwin,
if the auto-allocate-uids featrure was enabled.
This was because AAU on darwin works by setuid-ing as a non-existent
user, so the tests that were relying on `whoami` were failing.
In the case of trusted-users we fall back to printing the user id,
which is already handled gracefully in the daemon code - i.e. when
a user does not exist or for some other reason looking up their
username is not possible, the daemon falls back to searching for their
uid inside the trusted-users list.
When whoami is used to print the username for other purpose,
we default to printing nixbld.

With Linux kernel >=6.6 & glibc 2.39 a `fchmodat2(2)` is available that
isn't filtered away by the libseccomp sandbox.
Being able to use this to bypass that restriction has surprising results
for some builds such as lxc[1]:
> With kernel ≥6.6 and glibc 2.39, lxc's install phase uses fchmodat2,
> which slips through 9b88e52846/src/libstore/build/local-derivation-goal.cc (L1650-L1663).
> The fixupPhase then uses fchmodat, which fails.
> With older kernel or glibc, setting the suid bit fails in the
> install phase, which is not treated as fatal, and then the
> fixup phase does not try to set it again.
Please note that there are still ways to bypass this sandbox[2] and this is
mostly a fix for the breaking builds.
This change works by creating a syscall filter for the `fchmodat2`
syscall (number 452 on most systems). The problem is that glibc 2.39
is needed to have the correct syscall number available via
`__NR_fchmodat2` / `__SNR_fchmodat2`, but this flake is still on
nixpkgs 23.11. To have this change everywhere and not dependent on the
glibc this package is built against, I added a header
"fchmodat2-compat.hh" that sets the syscall number based on the
architecture. On most platforms its 452 according to glibc with a few
exceptions:
$ rg --pcre2 'define __NR_fchmodat2 (?!452)'
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/x32/arch-syscall.h
58:#define __NR_fchmodat2 1073742276
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/n32/arch-syscall.h
67:#define __NR_fchmodat2 6452
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/n64/arch-syscall.h
62:#define __NR_fchmodat2 5452
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips32/arch-syscall.h
70:#define __NR_fchmodat2 4452
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/arch-syscall.h
59:#define __NR_fchmodat2 562
I added a small regression-test to the setuid integration-test that
attempts to set the suid bit on a file using the fchmodat2 syscall.
I confirmed that the test fails without the change in
local-derivation-goal.
Additionally, we require libseccomp 2.5.5 or greater now: as it turns
out, libseccomp maintains an internal syscall table and
validates each rule against it. This means that when using libseccomp
2.5.4 or older, one may pass `452` as syscall number against it, but
since it doesn't exist in the internal structure, `libseccomp` will refuse
to create a filter for that. This happens with nixpkgs-23.11, i.e. on
stable NixOS and when building Lix against the project's flake.
To work around that
* a backport of libseccomp 2.5.5 on upstream nixpkgs has been
scheduled[3].
* the package now uses libseccomp 2.5.5 on its own already. This is to
provide a quick fix since the correct fix for 23.11 is still a staging cycle
away.
We still need the compat header though since `SCMP_SYS(fchmodat2)`
internally transforms this into `__SNR_fchmodat2` which points to
`__NR_fchmodat2` from glibc 2.39, so it wouldn't build on glibc 2.38.
The updated syscall table from libseccomp 2.5.5 is NOT used for that
step, but used later, so we need both, our compat header and their
syscall table 🤷

Part of #7672
My main motivation is to be able to use `nix.checkConfig`[1]. This
doesn't work with Lix currently since the module uses `nix show-config`
if the Nix version is <2.20pre and `nix config show` otherwise. I think
this is the only instance where nixpkgs checks for which Nix commands
exist that affects us now, so I figured we could just perform the rename
here as well[2] and still provide the current version number[3].
I don't have a strong opinion on whether to deprecate `nix show-config`,
the warning is added there automatically.

because using the flake directly and callPackaging it seemed to fit
better into my workflow: I already have a little mess to make
sure Hydra from the flake uses the correct pkgs.nix and I didn't
want to complicate it further while keeping a single package-set I
can build in CI. Don't get me wrong, I think such a module for a
quick-start is very important, just giving context on why I bother
in the first place :)
[3] When we go public, I think it's worth considering to add support in
nixpkgs itself for Lix.

this is used in CA rewriting, replacement of placeholders in
derivations, generating scripts for devShells, and some more
places. in all of these transitive replacements are unsound,
and overlapping replacements would be as well. there even is
a test that transitive replacements do not happen (in the CA
RewriteSink suite), but none for overlapping replacements. a
minimally surprising binary rewriter surely would not do any
of these replacements, the only reason we have not seen this
break yet is probably that rewriteStrings is only called for
store paths and things that look like store paths (and those
should never overlap nor admit such transitive replacements)

As discussed in the maintainer meeting on 2024-01-29.
Mainly this is to avoid a situation where the name is parsed and
treated as a file name, mostly to protect users.
.-* and ..-* are also considered invalid because they might strip
on that separator to remove versions. Doesn't really work, but that's
what we decided, and I won't argue with it, because .-* probably
doesn't seem to have a real world application anyway.
We do still permit a 1-character name that's just "-", which still
poses a similar risk in such a situation. We can't start disallowing
trailing -, because a non-zero number of users will need it and we've
seen how annoying and painful such a change is.
What matters most is preventing a situation where . or .. can be
injected, and to just get this done.

That's expected by `build-remote` and makes sure that errors are
correctly forwarded to the user. For instance, let's say that the
host-key of `example.org` is unknown and
nix-build ../nixpkgs -A hello -j0 --builders 'ssh-ng://example.org'
is issued, then you get the following output:
cannot build on 'ssh-ng://example.org?&': error: failed to start SSH connection to 'example.org'

The relevant information (`Host key verification failed`) ends up in the
daemon's log, but that's not very obvious considering that the daemon
isn't very chatty normally.
This can be fixed - the same way as its done for legacy-ssh - by passing
fd 4 to the SSH wrapper. Now you'd get the following error:
cannot build on 'ssh-ng://example.org': error: failed to start SSH connection to 'example.org': Host key verification failed.

Previously, the garbage collector found runtime roots on Darwin by
shelling out to `lsof -n -w -F n` then parsing the result.
However, this requires an lsof binary and can be extremely slow.
The official Apple lsof returns in a reasonable amount of time,
about 250ms in my tests, but the lsof packaged in nixpkgs is quite slow,
taking about 40 seconds to run the command.
Using libproc directly is about the same speed as Apple lsof,
and allows us to reënable several tests that were disabled on Darwin.

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.

An attrPath prefix of "." indicates no need to try default attrPath prefixes. For example `nixpkgs#legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.ERROR` searches through
```
trying flake output attribute 'packages.x86_64-linux.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.ERROR'
using cached attrset attribute ''
trying flake output attribute 'legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.ERROR'
using cached attrset attribute 'legacyPackages.x86_64-linux'
trying flake output attribute 'legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.ERROR'
using cached attrset attribute 'legacyPackages.x86_64-linux'
```
And there is no way to specify that one does not want the automatic
search behavior. Now one can specify
`nixpkgs#.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.ERROR` to only refer to the rooted
attribute path without any default injection of attribute search path or
system.

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 needs a string comparison because there seems to be no other way to
get that information out of bison. usually the location info is going to
be correct (pointing at a bad token), but since EOF isn't a token as
such it'll be wrong in that this case.
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.

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.

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.

does something, the session closes again, but the test does not move on.
adding *just* the redirect and not the unit waits is not sufficient
either, it needs both. this feels like a bug in the nixos testing
framework somewhere, but digging that far is not in the cards right now.

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`.

test taken from 6e8d5983143ae576e3f4b1d2954a5267f2943a49; it was added
previously (and not backported because its pr was a mostly-revert), but
it's useful to have around.

Previously, there were two mostly-identical value printers -- one in
`libexpr/eval.cc` (which didn't force values) and one in
`libcmd/repl.cc` (which did force values and also printed ANSI color
codes).
This PR unifies both of these printers into `print.cc` and provides a
`PrintOptions` struct for controlling the output, which allows for
toggling whether values are forced, whether repeated values are tracked,
and whether ANSI color codes are displayed.
Additionally, `PrintOptions` allows tuning the maximum number of
attributes, list items, and bytes in a string that will be displayed;
this makes it ideal for contexts where printing too much output (e.g.
all of Nixpkgs) is distracting. (As requested by @roberth in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9554#issuecomment-1845095735)
Please read the tests for example output.
Future work:
- It would be nice to provide this function as a builtin, perhaps
`builtins.toStringDebug` -- a printing function that never fails would
be useful when debugging Nix code.
- It would be nice to support customizing `PrintOptions` members on the
command line, e.g. `--option to-string-max-attrs 1000`.

Restore ambiguous value printer for `nix-instantiate`
The Nix team has requested that this output format remain unchanged.
I've added a warning to the man page explaining that `nix-instantiate
--eval` output will not parse correctly in many situations.
