Merge pull request #5812 from pennae/small-perf-improvements
improve parser performance a bit
2022-01-17 19:49:52 +01:00
pennae 34e3bd10e3 avoid copies of parser input data
when given a string yacc will copy the entire input to a newly allocated
location so that it can add a second terminating NUL byte. since the
parser is a very internal thing to EvalState we can ensure that having
two terminating NUL bytes is always possible without copying, and have
the parser itself merely check that the expected NULs are present.

Eelco Dolstra 6d9a6d2cc3 Ensure that attrsets are sorted
Previously you had to remember to call value->attrs->sort() after
populating value->attrs. Now there is a BindingsBuilder helper that
wraps Bindings and ensures that sort() is called before you can use
it.

nix-shell --pure: let variables for Wayland through
We let DISPLAY (X11) through, so we should let the Wayland equivalents
through as well.  Similarly, we let HOME through, so it should be okay
to allow XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (which is needed for connecting to Wayland
with WAYLAND_DISPLAY) through as well.  Otherwise graphical
applications will either fall back to X11 (if they support it), or
just not work (if they don't).

regnat af99941279 Make experimental-features a proper type
Rather than having them plain strings scattered through the whole
codebase, create an enum containing all the known experimental features.

This means that
- Nix can now `warn` when an unkwown experimental feature is passed
  (making it much nicer to spot typos and spot deprecated features)
- It’s now easy to remove a feature altogether (once the feature isn’t
  experimental anymore or is dropped) by just removing the field for the
  enum and letting the compiler point us to all the now invalid usages
  of it.

Farid Zakaria fbf42c55ac nix-shell --pure: Let it work for any derivation
`nix-shell --pure` when applied to a non stdenv derivation doesn't seem
to clear the PATH. It expects the stdenv/setup file to do so.

This adds an explicit `unset PATH` by nix-build.cc (nix-shell) itself so
that it's not reliant on stdenv/setup anymore.

This does not break impure nix-shell since the PATH is persisted as the
variable `p` prior in the bash rcfile

Eelco Dolstra eb6db4fd38 buildPaths(): Add an evalStore argument
With this, we don't have to copy the entire .drv closure to the
destination store ahead of time (or at all). Instead, buildPaths()
reads .drv files from the eval store and copies inputSrcs to the
destination store if it needs to build a derivation.

Maximilian Bosch 3944a120ec
Set environment variables for .attrs.json & .attrs.sh
This way no derivation has to expect that these files are in the `cwd`
during the build. This is problematic for `nix-shell` where these files
would have to be inserted into the nix-shell's `cwd` which can become
problematic with e.g. recursive `nix-shell`.

To remain backwards-compatible, the location inside the build sandbox
will be kept, however using these files directly should be deprecated
from now on.

Source complete env in nix-shell with __structuredAttrs = true;
This is needed to push the adoption of structured attrs[1] forward. It's
now checked if a `__json` exists in the environment-map of the derivation
to be openend in a `nix-shell`.

Derivations with structured attributes enabled also make use of a file
named `.attrs.json` containing every environment variable represented as
JSON which is useful for e.g. `exportReferencesGraph`[2]. To
provide an environment similar to the build sandbox, `nix-shell` now
adds a `.attrs.json` to `cwd` (which is mostly equal to the one in the
build sandbox) and removes it using an exit hook when closing the shell.

To avoid leaking internals of the build-process to the `nix-shell`, the
entire logic to generate JSON and shell code for structured attrs was
moved into the `ParsedDerivation` class.

regnat 56605b4688 Make nix-shell support content-addressed derivations

John Ericson 255d145ba7 Use BuildableReq for buildPaths and ensurePath
This avoids an ambiguity where the `StorePathWithOutputs { drvPath, {}
}` could mean "build `brvPath`" or "substitute `drvPath`" depending on
context.

It also brings the internals closer in line to the new CLI, by
generalizing the `Buildable` type is used there and makes that
distinction already.

In doing so, relegate `StorePathWithOutputs` to being a type just for
backwards compatibility (CLI and RPC).

nix-build: set execfail
When starting a nix-shell with `-i` it was previously possible for it to
silently fail in the scenario where the specified interpreter didn't
exist. This happened due to the `exec` call masking the issue.

With this change we enable `execfail`, which causes the script using
`nix-shell` as interpreter to correctly exit with code 127.

Fixes: #4598

Initialize plugins after handling initial command line flags
This is technically a breaking change, since attempting to set plugin
files after the first non-flag argument will now throw an error. This
is acceptable given the relative lack of stability in a plugin
interface and the need to tie the knot somewhere once plugins can
actually define new subcommands.

regnat 263f6dbd1c Don't crash nix-build when not all outputs are realised
Change the `nix-build` logic for linking/printing the output paths to allow for
some outputs to be missing. This might happen when the toplevel
derivation didn't have to be built, either because all the required
outputs were already there, or because they have all been substituted.

Eelco Dolstra 8d4268d190 Improve error formatting
Changes:

* The divider lines are gone. These were in practice a bit confusing,
  in particular with --show-trace or --keep-going, since then there
  were multiple lines, suggesting a start/end which wasn't the case.

* Instead, multi-line error messages are now indented to align with
  the prefix (e.g. "error: ").

* The 'description' field is gone since we weren't really using it.

* 'hint' is renamed to 'msg' since it really wasn't a hint.

* The error is now printed *before* the location info.

* The 'name' field is no longer printed since most of the time it
  wasn't very useful since it was just the name of the exception (like
  EvalError). Ideally in the future this would be a unique, easily
  googleable error ID (like rustc).

* "trace:" is now just "…". This assumes error contexts start with
  something like "while doing X".
