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.

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.

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.

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.

deduplication does not currently work fully, showing derivations
multiple times if they have different underlying values. this can happen
by selecting the same derivation twice for two different attributes of a
set, using inherit-from (which reduces to the previous), importing
nixpkgs twice, or any other number of things.
since users already have to deal with duplicates for this reason it
won't hurt to add *more* duplicates. the alternative would be to
deduplicate fully, which would drop derivations that are currently
returned and those pose a regression risk.

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`.

`nix eval` forces values and prints derivations as attribute sets, so
commands that print derivations (e.g. `nix eval nixpkgs#bash`) will
infinitely loop and segfault.
Printing derivations as `.drv` paths makes `nix eval` complete as
expected. Further work is needed, but this is better than a segfault.

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`.

When reviewing old PRs, I found that #9997 adds some code to ensure one
particular assert is always present. But, removing asserts isn't
something we do in our own release builds either in the flake here or in
nixpkgs, and is plainly a bad idea that increases support burden,
especially if other distros make bad choices of build flags in their Nix
packaging.
For context, the assert macro in the C standard is defined to do nothing
if NDEBUG is set.
There is no way in our build system to set -DNDEBUG without manually
adding it to CFLAGS, so this is simply a configuration we do not use.
Let's ban it at compile time.
I put this preprocessor directive in src/libutil.cc because it is not
obvious where else to put it, and it seems like the most logical file
since you are not getting a usable nix without it.

bef68e53b9 (backport of
31ebc6028b3682969d86a7b39ae87131c41cc604) accidentally broke the build
because of a change in the constructor of `SourcePath` between 2.18 and
master. Fix that.
Previously, IFDs would be built within the eval store, even though one
is typically using `--eval-store` precisely to *avoid* local builds.
Because the resulting Nix expression must be copied back to the eval
store in order to be imported, this requires the eval store to trust
the build store's signatures.

Today, with the tests inside a `tests` intermingled with the
corresponding library's source code, we have a few problems:
- We have to be careful that wildcards don't end up with tests being
built as part of Nix proper, or test headers being installed as part
of Nix proper.
- Tests in libraries but not executables is not right:
- It means each executable runs the previous unit tests again, because
it needs the libraries.
- It doesn't work right on Windows, which doesn't want you to load a
DLL just for the side global variable . It could be made to work
with the dlopen equivalent, but that's gross!
This reorg solves these problems.
There is a remaining problem which is that sibbling headers (like
`hash.hh` the test header vs `hash.hh` the main `libnixutil` header) end
up shadowing each other. This PR doesn't solve that. That is left as
future work for a future PR.

I think it is bad for these reasons when `tests/` contains a mix of
functional and integration tests
- Concepts is harder to understand, the documentation makes a good
unit vs functional vs integration distinction, but when the
integration tests are just two subdirs within `tests/` this is not
clear.
- Source filtering in the `flake.nix` is more complex. We need to
filter out some of the dirs from `tests/`, rather than simply pick
the dirs we want and take all of them. This is a good sign the
structure of what we are trying to do is not matching the structure
of the files.
With this change we have a clean:
```shell-session
$ git show 'HEAD:tests'
tree HEAD:tests
functional/
installer/
nixos/
```

This has been the behaviour before Nix 2.4. It was dropped in a rewrite
in 759947bf72, allowing the creation of
store paths that aren't considered valid by older Nix versions or other
Nix tooling.
Nix 2.4 didn't ship in NixOS until 22.05, and stdenv.mkDerivation in
nixpkgs drops leading periods since April 2022, so it's unlikely anyone
is relying on the current lax behaviour.

This reverts commit 5e3986f59c. This
un-implements RFC 92 but fixes the critical bug #9052 which many people

Mostly fixed#9052, but I would like to leave that issue open until we
have a regression test, so I can then properly fix the bug (unbreaking
RFC 92) later.

The `-c` flag belongs to `sh` not `nix shell`. As it stands, the command errors with:
```
$ nix shell nixpkgs#gnumake --command sh --command "cd src && make"
sh: --command: invalid option
```
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/8276 was good for readability, but it missed this since that PR used a find/replace script.
The Derivation parser and old ATerm unfortunately leaves few ways to get
nice errors when an old version of Nix encounters a new version of the
format. The most likely scenario for this to occur is with a new client
making a derivation that the old daemon it is communicating with cannot
understand.
The extensions we just created for dynamic derivation deps will add a
version field, solving the problem going forward, but there is still the
issue of what to do about old versions of Nix up to now.
The solution here is to carefully catch the bad error from the daemon
that is likely to indicate this problem, and add some extra context to
it.
There is another "Ugly backwards compatibility hack" in
`remote-store.cc` that also works by transforming an error.

We use the same nested map representation we used for goals, again in
order to save space. We might someday want to combine with `inputDrvs`,
by doing `V = bool` instead of `V = std::set<OutputName>`, but we are
not doing that yet for sake of a smaller diff.
The ATerm format for Derivations also needs to be extended, in addition
to the in-memory format. To accomodate this, we added a new basic
versioning scheme, so old versions of Nix will get nice errors. (And
going forward, if the ATerm format changes again the errors will be even
better.)
`parsedStrings`, an internal function used as part of parsing
derivations in A-Term format, used to consume the final `]` but expect
the initial `[` to already be consumed. This made for what looked like
unbalanced brackets at callsites, which was confusing. Now it consumes
both which is hopefully less confusing.
As part of testing, we also created a unit test for the A-Term format for
regular non-experimental derivations too.

Apply suggestions from code review

- Don't assert: Derivation ATerms are not necessarily produced by Nix,
and parsers should always throw graceful errors
- Improve error message from `static void except(..)`, shows both what
we expected and what we actually got.
The intention is that we backport it, and then hopefully a few people
might get slightly better errors if they try out new experimental drv
files (for RFC 92) with an old version of Nix.
To avoid dealing with an optional `drvPath` (because we might not know
it yet) everywhere, make an `CreateDerivationAndRealiseGoal`. This goal
just builds/substitutes the derivation file, and then kicks of a build
for that obtained derivation; in other words it does the chaining of
goals when the drv file is missing (as can already be the case) or
computed (new case).
This also means the `getDerivation` state can be removed from
`DerivationGoal`, which makes the `BasicDerivation` / in memory case and
`Derivation` / drv file file case closer together.
The map type is factored out for clarity, and because we will soon hvae
a second use for it (`Derivation` itself).

We're about to split up `DerivationGoal` a bit. At that point
`makeDerivationGoal` will mean something more specific than it does
today. (Perhaps a future rename will make this clearer.)
On the other hand, the more public `Worker::makeGoal` function will
continue to work exactly as before. So by moving some call sites to use
that instead, we preemptively avoid issues in the next step.
This function is now trivial enough that it doesn't need to exist.
`EvalState` can still be initialized with a custom search path, but we
don't have a need to mutate the search path after it has been
constructed, and I don't see why we would need to in the future.
Fixes#8229
Types converted:
- `NixStringContextElem`
- `OutputsSpec`
- `ExtendedOutputsSpec`
- `DerivationOutput`
- `DerivationType`
Existing ones mostly conforming the pattern cleaned up:
- `ContentAddressMethod`
- `ContentAddressWithReferences`
The `DerivationGoal::derivationType` field had a bogus initialization,
now caught, so I made it `std::optional`. I think #8829 can make it
non-optional again because it will ensure we always have the derivation
when we construct a `DerivationGoal`.
See that issue (#7479) for details on the general goal.
`git grep 'Raw::Raw'` indicates the two types I didn't yet convert
`DerivedPath` and `BuiltPath` (and their `Single` variants) . This is
because @roberth and I (can't find issue right now...) plan on reworking
them somewhat, so I didn't want to churn them more just yet.

If you have a URL that needs to be percent-encoded, such as
`http://localhost:8181/test/+3d.tar.gz`, and try to lock that in a Nix
flake such as the following:
{
inputs.test = { url = "http://localhost:8181/test/+3d.tar.gz"; flake = false; };
outputs = { test, ... }: {
t = builtins.readFile test;
};
}
running `nix flake metadata` shows that the input URL has been
incorrectly double-encoded (despite the flake.lock being correctly
encoded only once):
[...snip...]
Inputs:
└───test: http://localhost:8181/test/%252B3d.tar.gz?narHash=sha256-EFUdrtf6Rn0LWIJufrmg8q99aT3jGfLvd1//zaJEufY%3D
(Notice the `%252B`? That's just `%2B` but percent-encoded again)
With this patch, the double-encoding is gone; running `nix flake
metadata` will show the proper URL:
[...snip...]
Inputs:
└───test: http://localhost:8181/test/%2B3d.tar.gz?narHash=sha256-EFUdrtf6Rn0LWIJufrmg8q99aT3jGfLvd1//zaJEufY%3D
---
As far as I can tell, this happens because Nix already percent-encodes
the URL and stores this as the value of `inputs.asdf.url`.
However, when Nix later tries to read this out of the eval state as a
string (via `getStrAttr`), it has to run it through `parseURL` again to
get the `ParsedURL` structure.
Now, this itself isn't a problem -- the true problem arises when using
`ParsedURL::to_string` later, which then _re-escapes the path_. It is
at this point that what would have been `%2B` (`+`) becomes `%252B`
(`%2B`).

As string sizes are usigned types `(a - b) > 0` effectively means
`a != b`. While the intention should be `a > b`.
The change fixes test suite pass.
In the Nix language, given a drv path, we should be able to construct
another string referencing to one of its output. We can do this today
with `(import drvPath).output`, but this only works for derivations we
already have.
With dynamic derivations, however, that doesn't work well because the
`drvPath` isn't yet built: importing it like would need to trigger IFD,
when the whole point of this feature is to do "dynamic build graph"
without IFD!
Instead, what we want to do is create a placeholder value with the right
string context to refer to the output of the as-yet unbuilt derivation.
A new primop in the language, analogous to `builtins.placeholder` can be
used to create one. This will achieve all the right properties. The
placeholder machinery also will match out the `outPath` attribute for CA
derivations works.
In 60b7121d2c we added that type of
placeholder, and the derived path and string holder changes necessary to
support it. Then in the previous commit we cleaned up the code
(inspiration finally hit me!) to deduplicate the code and expose exactly
what we need. Now, we can wire up the primop trivally!
Part of RFC 92: dynamic derivations (tracking issue #6316)
Co-authored-by: Robert Hensing <roberth@users.noreply.github.com>
`EvalState::mkSingleDerivedPathString` previously contained its own
inverse (printing, rather than parsing) in order to validate what was
parsed. Now that is pulled out into its own separate function:
`EvalState::coerceToSingleDerivedPath`.
In additional that pulled out logic is deduplicated with
`EvalState::mkOutputString` via `EvalState::mkOutputStringRaw`, which is
itself deduplicated (and generalized) with
`DownstreamPlaceholder::mkOutputStringRaw`.
All these changes make the unit tests simpler.
(We would ideally write more unit tests for `mkSingleDerivedPathString`
`coerceToSingleDerivedPath` directly, but we cannot yet do that because
the IO in reading the store path won't work when the dummy store cannot
hold anything. Someday we'll have a proper in-memory store which will
work for this.)

std::move(state->data) and data.empty() were called in a loop, and
could run with no other threads intervening. Accessing moved objects
is undefined behavior, and could cause a crash.
Virtual methods are no longer valid once the derived destructor has
run. This means the compiler is free to optimize them to be
non-virtual.
Found using clang-tidy
We want to be able to write down `foo.drv^bar.drv^baz`:
`foo.drv^bar.drv` is the dynamic derivation (since it is itself a
derivation output, `bar.drv` from `foo.drv`).
To that end, we create `Single{Derivation,BuiltPath}` types, that are
very similar except instead of having multiple outputs (in a set or
map), they have a single one. This is for everything to the left of the
rightmost `^`.
`NixStringContextElem` has an analogous change, and now can reuse
`SingleDerivedPath` at the top level. In fact, if we ever get rid of
`DrvDeep`, `NixStringContextElem` could be replaced with
`SingleDerivedPath` entirely!
Important note: some JSON formats have changed.
We already can *produce* dynamic derivations, but we can't refer to them
directly. Today, we can merely express building or example at the top
imperatively over time by building `foo.drv^bar.drv`, and then with a
second nix invocation doing `<result-from-first>^baz`, but this is not
declarative. The ethos of Nix of being able to write down the full plan
everything you want to do, and then execute than plan with a single
command, and for that we need the new inductive form of these types.

This enables nix to correctly report what will be fetched in the case
that everything is a cache hit.
Note however that if an intermediate build of something which is not
cached could still cause products to end up being substituted if the
intermediate build results in a CA path which is in the cache.
Fixes#8615.

When receiving a stream of NARs through the ssh-ng protocol, an already
existing path would cause the NAR archive to not be read in the stream,
resulting in trying to parse the NAR as a ValidPathInfo. This results in
the error message:
error: not an absolute path: 'nix-archive-1'
Fixes#6253
Usually this problem is avoided by running QueryValidPaths before
AddMultipleToStore, but can arise when two parallel nix processes gets
the same response from QueryValidPaths. This makes the problem more
prominent when running builds in parallel.
When loading a derivation from a JSON, malformed input would trigger
cryptic "assertion failed" errors. Simply replacing calls to `operator []`
with calls to `.at()` was not enough, as this would cause json.execptions
to be printed verbatim.
Display nice error messages instead and give some indication where the
error happened.

I haven't checked when this was exactly introduced, but on Nix 2.16 I
realized that the additional lines inserted when using `--precise` are
completely separated from the tree:

This is apparently because `std::cout` is buffered and flushed in the
end whereas the rest of the output isn't. The fix is rather simple, just
use `logger->cout` as it's already the case for the rest of the code.
This way we also don't need to insert additional newlines in the `hits`
map since that's something the logger takes care of.
Also added a small test to make sure that the layout of this is somehow
tested to reduce the risk of further regressions here.
Avoid duplicated code, and also avoid "on the fly" path construction
(which makes it harder to keep track of which paths we use).
The factored out code doesn't create the Nix state dir anymore, but this
is fine because other in nix-env and nix-channel does:
- nix-channel: Line 158 in this commit
- nix-env: Line 1407 in this commit
Special-casing the file name is rather ugly, so we shouldn't do
that. So now any {file,http,https} URL is handled by
TarballInputScheme, except for non-flake inputs (i.e. inputs that have
the attribute `flake = false`).
It was initially unclear to me which of these are temporary state for
the verify paths computation, and which of these are the results of that
computation to be used in the rest of the function. Now, it is clear,
and enforced.
We don't care about non-store-paths in there (things like `.links`, are,
in fact, allowed). So let's just skip them up front and be more strongly
typed.
Over the last year or so I've run into several use cases where I need to
parse and/or serialize URLs for use by `builtins.fetchTree` or
`builtins.getFlake`, largely in order to produce _lockfile-like_ files
for lang2nix frameworks or tools which use `nix` internally to drive
builds.
I've gone through the painstaking process of emulating
`nix::FlakeRef::fromAttrs` and `nix::parseFlakeRef` several times with
mixed success; but these are difficult to create and even harder to
maintain if I hope to stay aligned with changes to the real
parser/serializer.
I understand why adding new `builtins` isn't something we want to do
flagrantly. I'm recommending this addition simply because I keep
encountering use cases where I need to parse/serialize these URIs in
`nix` expressions, and I want a reliable solution.

Will need to do subclass-specific implementations in the next commit.
This isn't because there will be multiple variations of the daemon
protocol (whew!) but because different clients pick and choose different
parts to use.
This makes it more useful. In general, the derivation will be in one
store, and the realisation info is in another.
This also helps us avoid duplication. See how `resolveDerivedPath` is
now simpler because it uses `queryPartialDerivationOutputMap`. In #8369
we get more flavors of derived path, and need more code to resolve them
all, and this problem only gets worse.
The fact that we need a new method to deal with the multiple dispatch is
unfortunate, but this generally relates to the fact that `Store` is a
sub-par interface, too bulky/unwieldy and conflating separate concerns.
Solving that is out of scope of this PR.
This is part of the RFC 92 work. See tracking issue #6316
the original change broke many pre-existing anchor links.
also change formatting of the constants listing slightly:
- the type should not be part of the anchor
- add highlight to the "impure only" note
We were bedeviled by sandboxing issues when working on the layered
store. The problem ended up being that when we have nested nix builds,
and the inner store is inside the build dir (e.g. store is
`/build/nix-test/$name/store`, build dir is `/build`) bind mounts
clobber each other and store paths cannot be found.
After thoroughly cleaning up `local-derivation-goal.cc`, we might be
able to make that work. But that is a lot of work. For now, we just fail
earlier with a proper error message.
Finally, test this: nested sandboxing without the problematic store dir
should work, and with should fail with the expected error message.

Whereas `ContentAddressWithReferences` is a sum type complex because different
varieties support different notions of reference, and
`ContentAddressMethod` is a nested enum to support that,
`ContentAddress` can be a simple pair of a method and hash.
`ContentAddress` does not need to be a sum type on the outside because
the choice of method doesn't effect what type of hashes we can use.

'resolvedRef' was incorrect, since a resolved ref is one after
registry resolution, which may still be unlocked (e.g. 'nixpkgs' ->
'github:NixOS/nixpkgs').
If we call `adjustLoc`, the global variable `prev_yylloc` is shared
between threads and racy.
Currently, nix itself does not concurrently parsing files, but this is
helpful for libexpr users. (The parser is thread-safe except this.)
When explicitly requested by the caller, as suggested in the meeting
(https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/8090#issuecomment-1531139324)
> @edolstra: { toPath } vs { fromPath } is too implicit
I've opted for the `inputAddressed = true` requirement, because it
we did not agree on renaming the path attributes.
> @roberth: more explicit
> @edolstra: except for the direction; not immediately clear in which direction the rewriting happens
This is in fact the most explicit syntax and a bit redundant, which is
good, because that redundancy lets us deliver an error message that
reminds expression authors that CA provides a better experience to
their users.
This is done in roughly the same way builtin functions are documented.
Also auto-link experimental features for primops, subsuming PR #8371.

* nix flake check: improve error message if overlay is not a lambda
Suppose you have an overlay like this
{
inputs = { /* ... */ };
outputs = { flake-utils, ... }: flake-utils.lib.eachDefaultSystem
(system: {
overlays.default = final: prev: {
};
});
}
then `nix flake check` (correctly) fails because `overlays` are supposed
to have the structure `overlays.<name> = final: prev: exp`. However, the
error-message is a little bit counter-intuitive:
error: overlay does not take an argument named 'final'
While one might guess where the error actually comes from because the
trace above says `… while checking the overlay 'overlays.x86_64-linux'`
this is still pretty confusing because it complains about an argument
not being named `final` even though that's evidently the case.
With this change, the error-message actually makes it clear what's
wrong:
[ma27@carsten:~/Projects/nix/tmp]$ nix flake check --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' path:$(pwd)
error:
… while checking flake output 'overlays'
at /nix/store/clgblnxx003hyrq8qkz5ab6kgqkck6qc-source/flake.nix:4:5:
3| outputs = { ... }: {
4| overlays.x86_64-linux.snens = final: prev: {
| ^
5| kek = throw "snens";
… while checking the overlay 'overlays.x86_64-linux'
at /nix/store/clgblnxx003hyrq8qkz5ab6kgqkck6qc-source/flake.nix:4:5:
3| outputs = { ... }: {
4| overlays.x86_64-linux.snens = final: prev: {
| ^
5| kek = throw "snens";
error: overlay is not a lambda, but a set instead
I got very confused trying to keep all the `first` and `second` straight
reading the code, *especially* as there is also another `(boolean,
string)` pair type also being used.
Named fields is much better.
There are other cleanups that we can do (for example, the existing
TODO), but we can do them later. Doing them now would just make this
harder to review.
- Improved API docs from comment
- Exit codes are for `nix-build`, not just `nix-store --release`
- Make note in tests so the magic numbers are not surprising
Picking up where #8387 left off.
Previously it was not possible to open a local store when its database is on a read-only filesystem. Obviously a store on a read-only filesystem cannot be modified, but it would still be useful to be able to query it.
This change adds a new read-only setting to LocalStore. When set to true, Nix will skip operations that fail when the database is on a read-only filesystem (acquiring big-lock, schema migration, etc), and the store database will be opened in immutable mode.

Pass this around instead of `Source &` and `Sink &` directly. This will
give us something to put the protocol version on once the time comes.
To do this ergonomically, we need to expose `RemoteStore::Connection`,
so do that too. Give it some more API docs while we are at it.
The motivation is exactly the same as for the last commit. In addition,
this anticipates us formally defining separate serialisers for the serve
protocol.
See API docs on that struct for why. The pasing as as template argument
doesn't yet happen in that commit, but will instead happen in later
commit.
Also make `WorkerOp` (now `Op`) and enum struct. This led us to catch
that two operations were not handled!
Co-authored-by: Robert Hensing <roberth@users.noreply.github.com>
This is generally a fine practice: Putting implementations in headers
makes them harder to read and slows compilation. Unfortunately it is
necessary for templates, but we can ameliorate that by putting them in a
separate header. Only files which need to instantiate those templates
will need to include the header with the implementation; the rest can
just include the declaration.
This is now documenting in the contributing guide.
Also, it just happens that these polymorphic serializers are the
protocol agnostic ones. (Worker and serve protocol have the same logic
for these container types.) This means by doing this general template
cleanup, we are also getting a head start on better indicating which
code is protocol-specific and which code is shared between protocols.
- Greatly expand API docs
- Clean up code in misc ways
- Instead of a complicated single loop on generations, do different
operations in successive subsequent steps.
- Avoid `ref` in one place where `&` is fine
- Just return path instead of mutating an argument in `makeName`

Rather than doing `allowEmpty` as boolean, have separate types and use
`std::optional`. This makes it harder to forget the possibility of an
empty path.
The `build-hook` setting was categorized as a `PathSetting`, but
actually it was split into arguments. No good! Now, it is
`Setting<Strings>` which actually reflects what it means and how it is
used.
Because of the subtyping, we now also have support for
`Setting<std::optional<String>>` in general. I imagine this can be used
to clean up many more settings also.
The code accidentally conflated `std::string::size_type` and `long unsigned int`.
This was fine on 64bits machines where they are apparently the same in
practice, but not on 32bits. Fix that by using `std::string::size_type`
everywhere.
A library shouldn't require changes to the caller's argument handling,
especially if it doesn't have to, and indeed we don't have to.
This changes the lookup order to prioritize the hardcoded path to nix
if it exists. The static executable still finds itself through /proc
and the like.

The remaining constructor RegisterPrimOp::RegisterPrimOp(Info && info)
allows specifying the documentation in .args and .doc members of the
Info structure.
Commit 8ec1ba0210 removed all uses of the removed constructor in the
nix binary. Here, we remove the constructor completely as well as its
use in a plugin test. According to #8515, we didn't promis to maintain
compatibility with external plugins.
Fixes#8515
`filesystem.cc` is the only place where `createSymlink()` is used with three arguments:
in the definition of `replaceSymlink()` with three parameters that _is not used at all_.
Closes#8495
Previously, for tarball flakes, we recorded the original URL of the
tarball flake, rather than the URL to which it ultimately
redirects. Thus, a flake URL like
http://example.org/patchelf-latest.tar that redirects to
http://example.org/patchelf-<revision>.tar was not really usable. We
couldn't record the redirected URL, because sites like GitHub redirect
to CDN URLs that we can't rely on to be stable.
So now we use the redirected URL only if the server returns the
`x-nix-is-immutable` or `x-amz-meta-nix-is-immutable` headers in its
response.
This will allow documenting them (in later commits).
Note that we keep the old constructor even if it is no longer used by
Nix code, because it is used in tests/plugins/plugintest.cc, which
suggests that it might be used by some external plugin.
This is necessary when we're in a chroot environment, where the
process root is not the same as the root of the mount namespace
(e.g. in nixos-enter).
Fixes#7602.
Currently `fromTOML` throws an exception when encountering a timestamp
since the Nix language lacks a way to represent them.
This patch changes this beaviour and makes `fromTOML` parse timestamps as
attrsets of the format
{ _type = "timestamp"; value = "1979-05-27T07:32:00Z"; }
This is guarded by an experimental feature flag to leave room for iterating on the representation.

The primop `builtins.replaceStrings` currently always strictly evaluates the
replacement strings, however time and space are wasted for their computation
if the corresponding pattern do not occur in the input string. This commit
makes the evaluation of the replacement strings lazy by deferring their
evaluation to when the corresponding pattern are matched and memoize the result
for efficient retrieval on subsequent matches.
The testcases for replaceStrings was updated to check for lazy evaluation
of the replacements. A note was also added in the release notes to
document the behavior change.
When encountering a build error, Nix moves the output paths out of the
chroot into their final location (for “easier debugging of build
failures”). However this was broken for chroot stores as it was moving
it to the _logical_ location, not the _physical_ one.
Fix it by moving to the physical (_real_) location.

The `hashed-mirrors` option did use to have this default value,
but it was removed and re-added with an empty default value.
As the autogenerated docs show the (actual) default values from code,
remove this incorrect reference from the docs.
I was updating my nix.conf settings after a few years and noticed this.
Using abstract types like can help cut down on compilation time, both
from scratch, and especially incremental builds during development. The
idea is that `worker-protocol.hh` can declare all the (de)serializers, but
only again abstract types; when code needs to use some (de)serializers, it can
include headers just for the data types it needs to (de)serialize.
`store-api.hh` in particular is a bit of a sledgehammer, and the data
types we want to serialize have their own headers.
This is the more typically way to do [Argument-dependent
lookup](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/adl)-leveraging
generic serializers in C++. It makes the relationship between the `read`
and `write` methods more clear and rigorous, and also looks more
familiar to users coming from other languages that do not have C++'s
libertine ad-hoc overloading.
I am returning to this because during the review in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6223, it came up as something that
would make the code easier to read --- easier today hopefully already,
but definitely easier if we were have multiple codified protocols with
code sharing between them as that PR seeks to accomplish.
If I recall correctly, the main criticism of this the first time around
(in 2020) was that having to specify the type when writing, e.g.
`WorkerProto<MyType>::write`, was too verbose and cumbersome. This is
now addressed with the `workerProtoWrite` wrapper function.
This method is also the way `nlohmann::json`, which we have used for a
number of years now, does its serializers, for what its worth.
This reverts commit 45a0ed82f0. That
commit in turn reverted 9ab07e99f5.
This is good in general, but in particular ensures when we heavily
refactor it in the next commit there is less likelihood for an
unintentional change in behavior to sneak in.
These items are not templates, and they declared in
`worker-protocol.hh`; therefore they should live in a
`worker-protocol.cc`.
Anything else needlessly diverges from convention. After all, it is not
like this code is only used in `remote-store.cc`; it is also used in
`daemon.cc`. There is no good reason to place it with the client
implementation or the server implementation when it used equally by
both.
