previously it was possible to fetchurl a dict server, or an ldap server,
or an imap server. this is a bit of a problem, both because rare schemes
may not be available on all systems, and because some schemes (e.g. scp)
are inherently insecure in potentially surprising ways we needn't allow.

In 0e6b3435a1, installation of the HTML manual
was accidentally dropped: setting install_dir on a custom_target only sets the
directory where something is going to be installed if it is installed at all,
but does not itself trigger installation. The latter has to be explicitly
requested, which is just what we do here to get the manual back.

Since fb38459d6e, each `ref` is appended
with `refs/heads` unless it starts with `refs/` already. This regressed
two use-cases that worked fine before:
* Specifying a commit hash as `ref`: now, if `ref` looks like a commit
hash it will be directly passed to `git fetch`.
* Specifying a tag without `refs/tags` as prefix: now, the fetcher prepends
`refs/*` to a ref that doesn't start with `refs/` and doesn't look
like a commit hash. That way, both a branch and a tag specified in
`ref` can be fetched.
The order of preference in git is
* file in `refs/` (e.g. `HEAD`)
* file in `refs/tags/`
* file in `refs/heads` (i.e. a branch)
After fetching `refs/*`, ref is resolved the same way as git does.

In Meson, `install_subdir` is meant to be used with directories in the source
directory. When using it to install the HTML manual, we provide it with a path
under the build directory.
We should instead specify an install directory for the HTML manual as part of
the custom target that builds it.
What we do currently isn't broken, just semantically incorrect. Changing it does
get rid of the following deprecation warning, though:
``
Project [...] uses feature deprecated since '0.60.0': install_subdir with empty directory. It worked by accident and is buggy. Use install_emptydir instead.
``

When `nix fmt` is called without an argument, Nix appends the "." argument before calling the formatter. The comment in the code is:
> Format the current flake out of the box
This also happens when formatting sub-folders.
This means that the formatter is now unable to distinguish, as an interface, whether the "." argument is coming from the flake or the user's intent to format the current folder. This decision should be up to the formatter.
Treefmt, for example, will automatically look up the project's root and format all the files. This is the desired behaviour. But because the "." argument is passed, it cannot function as expected.

This is better for privacy and to avoid leaking netrc credentials in a

These stack traces kind of suck for the reasons mentioned on the
CppTrace page here (no symbols for inline functions is a major one):
https://github.com/jeremy-rifkin/cpptrace
I would consider using CppTrace if it were packaged, but to be honest, I
think that the more reasonable option is actually to move entirely to
out-of-process crash handling and symbolization.
The reason for this is that if you want to generate anything of
substance on SIGSEGV or really any deadly signal, you are stuck in
async-signal-safe land, which is not a place to be trying to run a
symbolizer. LLVM does it anyway, probably carefully, and chromium *can*
do it on debug builds but in general uses crashpad:
https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:base/debug/stack_trace_posix.cc;l=974;drc=82dff63dbf9db05e9274e11d9128af7b9f51ceaa;bpv=1;bpt=1
However, some stack traces are better than *no* stack traces when we get
mystery exceptions falling out the bottom of the program. I've also
promoted the path for "mystery exceptions falling out the bottom of the
program" to hard crash and generate a core dump because although there's
been some months since the last one of these, these are nonetheless
always *atrociously* diagnosed.
We can't improve the crash handling further until either we use Crashpad
(which involves more C++ deps, no thanks) or we put in the ostensibly
work in progress Rust minidump infrastructure, in which case we need to
finish full support for Rust in libutil first.

Previously, Doxygen needed to be ran from the project's source root dir
due to the relative paths in the config's `INPUT` tag. We now preprocess
the relative paths by prefixing them with the absolute path of the
project's source root dir. The HTML output remains unchanged.

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):

This is incredibly haunted, but it can happen that you change libutil,
breaking the generation of the .json files, which then does not rebuild
the files. I don't expect they are slow to build, so it does not seem so
bad to just rebuild them every time instead of extracting a list of all
the possible deps.
We want to delete this nonsense anyway and replace it with generated
code.

implementing a build hook is pretty much impossible without either being
a nix, or blindly forwarding the important bits of all build requests to
some kind of nix. we've found no uses of build-hook in the wild, and the
build-hook protocol (apart from being entirely undocumented) is not able
to convey any kind of versioning information between hook and daemon. if
we want to upgrade this infrastructure (which we do), this must not stay

There is no real way to write a proper test for this, other than to
start a process like the following:
int main(void) {
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; ++i) {
close(i);
}
sleep(10000);
}
and then let Lix's gc look at it.
I have a relatively high confidence this *will* fix the problem since I
have manually confirmed the behaviour of the libproc call is
as-unexpected, and it would perfectly explain the observed symptom.

The principle of this is that you can either externally build it with
Nix (actual implementation will be in a future commit), or it can be
built with meson if the Nix one is not passed in.
The idea I have is that dev shells don't receive the one from Nix to
avoid having to build it, but CI can use the one from Nix and save some
gratuitous rebuilds.
The design of this is that you can run `ninja -C build clang-tidy` and
it will simply correctly clang-tidy the codebase in spite of PCH
bullshit caused by the cc-wrapper.
This is a truly horrendous number of hacks in a ball, caused by bugs in
several pieces of software, and I am not even getting started.
I don't consider this to fix the clang-tidy issue filing, since we still
have a fair number of issues to fix even on the existing minimal
configuration, and I have not yet implemented it in CI. Realistically we
will need to do something like https://github.com/Ericsson/codechecker
to be able to silence warnings without physically touching the code, or
at least *diff* reports between versions.
Also, the run-clang-tidy output design is rather atrocious and must
not be inflicted upon anyone I have respect for, since it buries the
diagnostics in a pile of invocation logs. We would do really well to
integrate with the Gerrit SARIF stuff so we can dump the reports on
people in a user-friendly manner.
