these two functions are now nearly trivial and much better inline into
makeGoalCommon. keeping them separate also separates information about
goal completion flows and how failure information ends up in `Worker`.

we can use our newfound powers of Goal::work Is A Real Promise to remove
completed goals from continuation promises. apart from being much easier
to follow it's also a lot more efficient because we have the iterator to
the item we are trying to remove, skipping a linear search of the cache.

Goal::work() is a fully usable promise that does not rely on the worker
to report completion conditions. as such we no longer need the `notify`
field that enabled this interplay. we do have to clear goal caches when
destroying the worker though, otherwise goal promises may (incorrectly)
keep goals alive due to strong shared pointers created by childStarted.

this will be needed to move all interesting result fields out of Goal
proper and into WorkResult. once that is done we can treat goals as a
totally internal construct of the worker mechanism, which also allows
us to fully stop exposing unclear intermediate state to Worker users.

since we now propagate goal exceptions properly we no longer need to
check topGoals for a reason to abort early. any early abort reasons,
whether by exception or a clean top goal failure, can now be handled
by inspecting the goal result in the main loop. this greatly reduces
goal-to-goal interactions that do not happen at the main loop level.
since the underscore-free name is now available for use as variables
we'll migrate to that where we currently use `_topGoals` for locals.

this simplifies the worker loop, and lets us remove it entirely later.
note that ideally only one promise waiting for interrupts should exist
in the entire system. not one per event loop, one per *process*. extra
interrupt waiters make interrupt response nondeterministic and as such
aren't great for user experience. if anything wants to react to aborts
caused by explicit interruptions, or anything else, those things would
be much better served using RAII guards such as Finally (or KJ_DEFER).

asked for this. but not doing it would have locked us into old, broken

with async runtime scheduling we can no longer guarantee exact error

recovered with a number of hacks that affect scheduling, but none of
those are very easy to follow now advisable. exact error counts will

better check the actual messages rather than how many they got. more
messages can even help to avoid unnecessary rebuilds for most users.

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.

due to event loop scheduling behavior it's possible for a derivation
goal to fully finish (having seen all paths it was asked to create),
but to not notify the worker of this in time to prevent another goal
asking the recently-finished goal for more outputs. if this happened
the finished goal would ignore the request for more outputs since it
considered itself fully done, and the delayed result reporting would
cause the requesting goal to assume its request had been honored. if
the requested goal had finished *properly* the worker would recreate
it instead of asking for more outputs, and this would succeed. it is
thus safe to always recreate goals once they are done, so we now do.

we'll now loop to update displayed statistics, and use this loop to

updates can even impede progress due to terminal or network delays.

Worker::run() is now entirely based on the kj event loop and promises,

notably we will check whether we want to do GC at all only once during
startup, and we'll only attempt GC every ten seconds rather than every
time a goal has finished a partial work call. this shouldn't cause any
problems in practice since relying on auto-gc is not deterministic and
stores in which builds can fill all remaining free space in merely ten
seconds are severely troubled even when gargage collection runs a lot.

this was immensely inefficient on large caches, as can exist when many
derivations are buildable simultaneously. since we have smart pointers
to goals we can do cache maintenance in goal deleters instead, and use
the exact iterators instead of doing a linear search. this *does* rely
on goals being deleted to remove them from the cache, which isn't true
for toplevel goals. those would have previously been removed when done
in all cases, removing the cache entry when keep-going is set. this is
arguably incorrect since it might result in those goals being retried,
although that could only happen with dynamic derivations or the likes.
(luckily dynamic derivations not complete enough to allow this at all)

without circular references we do not need weak goal pointers except for
caches, which should not prevent goal destructors running. caches though
cannot create circular references even when they keep strong references.
if we removed goals from caches when their work() is fully finished, not
when their destructors are run, we could keep strong pointers in caches.
since we do not gain much from this we keep those pointers weak for now.

the new event loop could very occasionally notice that a dependency of
some goal has failed, process the failure, cause the depending goal to
fail accordingly, and in the doing of the latter two steps let further
dependencies that previously have not been reported as failed do their
reporting anyway. in such cases a goal could fail with "1 dependencies
failed", but more than one dependency failure message was shown. we'll
now report the correct number of failed dependency goals in all cases.

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.

Using `configure_file` to copy files has been deprecated since Meson 0.64.0.
The intended replacement is the `fs.copyfile` method.

What we do currently isn't broken, just semantically incorrect. Changing it does
get rid of the following deprecation warning, though:

and weak references to dependers as well. those are now only held within
promises representing goal completion and thus independent of the goal's

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.

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.

This caused an infinite loop before since it would just keep asking the
underlying source for more data.
In practice this happened because an HTTP server served a
response to a HEAD request (for which curl will not retrieve any body or
call our write callback function) with Content-Encoding: br, leading to
decompressing nothing at all and going into an infinite loop.
This adds a test to make sure none of our compression methods do that
again, as well as just patching the HTTP client to never feed empty data
into a compression algorithm (since they absolutely have the right to
throw CompressionError on unexpectedly-short streams!).

The core idea is to be able to do e.g.

In order to change that (probably), Jade suggested to find out if there

For such a use-case, it may still be possible to accept strings, i.e.

When generating shell completions, no logging output should be visible because
it would destroy the shell prompt. Originally this was attempted to be done by
simply disabling the progress bar (ca946860ce),
since the situation is particularly bad there (the screen clearing required for
the rendering ends up erasing the shell prompt). Due to overlooking the
implementation of this hack, it was accidentally undone during a later change
(0dd1d8ca1c).
Since even with the hack correctly in place, it is still possible to mess up
the prompt by logging output (for example warnings for disabled experimental
features, or messages generated by `builtins.trace`), simply send it to the bit
bucket where it belongs. This was already done for bash and zsh

using a proper event loop basis we no longer have to worry about most of
the intricacies of poll(), or platform-dependent replacements for it. we
may even be able to use the event loop and its promise system for all of
our scheduling in the future. we don't do any real async processing yet,
this is just preparation to separate the first such change from the huge
api design difference with the async framework we chose (kj from capnp):
kj::Promise, unlike std::future, doesn't return exceptions unmangled. it
instead wraps any non-kj exception into a kj exception, erasing all type
information and preserving mostly the what() string in the process. this
makes sense in the capnp rpc use case where unrestricted exception types
can't be transferred, and since it moves error handling styles closer to
a world we'd actually like there's no harm in doing it only here for now
Change-Id: I20f888de74d525fb2db36ca30ebba4bcfe9cc838
we're using boost::outcome rather than leaf or stl types because stl
types are not available everywhere and leaf does not provide its own
storage for error values, relying on thread-locals and the stack. if
we want to use promises we won't have a stack and would have to wrap
everything into leaf-specific allocating wrappers, so outcome it is.

When the multi-line log format is enabled, the progress bar usually occupies
multiple lines on the screen. When stopping the progress bar, only the last
line was wiped, leaving all others visible on the screen. Erase all lines
belonging to the progress bar to prevent these leftovers.
Asking the user for input is theoretically affected by a similar issue, but
this is not observed in practice since the only place where the user is asked
(whether configuration options coming from flakes should be accepted) does not
actually have multiple lines on the progress bar. However, there is no real
reason to not fix this either, so let's do it anyway.

The AcceptFlakeConfig type used was missing its JSON serialisation definition,
so it was incorrectly serialised as an integer, ending up that way for example
in the nix.conf manual page. Declare a proper serialisation.
Change-Id: If8ec210f9d4dd42fe480c4e97d0a4920eb66a01e
The JSON serialisation should be declared in the header so that all translation
units can see it when needed, even though it seems that it has not been used
anywhere else so far. Unfortunately, this means we cannot use the
NLOHMANN_JSON_SERIALIZE_ENUM convenience macro, since it uses a slightly
different signature, but the code is not too bad either.

updating statistics *immediately* when any counter changes declutters
things somewhat and makes useful status reports less dependent on the
current worker main loop. using callbacks will make it easier to move
the worker loop into kj entirely, using only promises for scheduling.

there's no reason to go through the event loop in these cases. returning
ContinueImmediately here is just a very convoluted way of jumping to the
state we've just set after unwinding one frame of the stack, which never
matters in the cases changed here because there are no live RAII guards.

this is not ideal, but it's better than having this stuck in the worker
loop itself. setting ex on all failing goals is not problematic because
only toplevel goals can ever be observable, all the others are ignored.
notably only derivation goals ever set `ex`, substitution goals do not.
Change-Id: I02e2164487b2955df053fef3c8e774d557aa638a
this doesn't serve a great purpose yet except to confine construction of
goals to the stack frame of Worker::run() and its child frames. we don't
need this yet (and the goal constructors remain fully visible), but in a
future change that fully removes the current worker loop we'll need some
way of knowing which goals are top-level goals without passing the goals
themselves around. once that's possible we can remove visible goals as a
concept and rely on build result futures and a scheduler built upon them
Change-Id: Ia73cdeffcfb9ba1ce9d69b702dc0bc637a4c4ce6
whether goal errors are reported via the `ex` member or just printed to
the log depends on whether the goal is a toplevel goal or a dependency.
if goals are aware of this themselves we can move error printing out of
the worker loop, and since a running worker can only be used by running
goals it's totally sufficient to keep a `Worker::running` flag for this

Fixes:
- Identifiers starting with _ are prohibited
- Some driveby header dependency cleaning which wound up with doing some
extra fixups.
- Fucking C style casts, man. C++ made these 1000% worse by letting you
also do memory corruption with them with references.
- Remove casts to Expr * where ExprBlackHole is an incomplete type by
introducing an explicitly-cast eBlackHoleAddr as Expr *.
- An incredibly illegal cast of the text bytes of the StorePath hash
into a size_t directly. You can't DO THAT.
Replaced with actually parsing the hash so we get 100% of the bits
being entropy, then memcpying the start of the hash. If this shows
up in a profile we should just make the hash parser faster with a
lookup table or something sensible like that.
- This horrendous bit of UB which I thankfully slapped a deprecation
warning on, built, and it didn't trigger anywhere so it was dead
code and I just deleted it. But holy crap you *cannot* do that.
inline void mkString(const Symbol & s)
{
mkString(((const std::string &) s).c_str());
}
- Some wrong lints. Lots of wrong macro lints, one wrong
suspicious-sizeof lint triggered by the template being instantiated
with only pointers, but the calculation being correct for both
pointers and not-pointers.
- Exceptions in destructors strike again. I tried to catch the
exceptions that might actually happen rather than all the exceptions
imaginable. We can let the runtime hard-kill it on other exceptions
imo.

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,

- An attempt to use PCRE, rejected due to providing less backwards

nixpkgs delivered us the untimely gift of a meson 1.5 upgrade, which
*does* make our lives easier by allowing us to delete wrap generation
code, but it does so at the cost of renaming all rust crates in such a
way that the wrap logic cannot tolerate the new names on the old meson
version 😭.
It also means that support burden for this is going to be atrocious
until we either give in and vendor meson 1.5 or we make a CI target for
it. Neither seems appealing, though the latter is not super absurd for
ensuring we don't break nixpkgs unstable.
This commit causes meson 1.5 to ignore the .wrap files in subprojects/
entirely (since they have the wrong names lol) and instead use
Cargo.lock, so it now hard-depends on our workspace reshuffling
improvement.
It also deletes the hack that we were using to get the sources of Cargo

I managed to trigger the issue by having the following inputs (shortened):
authentik-nix.url = "github:nix-community/authentik-nix";
authentik-nix.inputs.poetry2nix.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
When evaluating this using
nix-eval-jobs --flake .#hydraJobs
I got the following error:
error: cannot update unlocked flake input 'authentik-nix/poetry2nix' in pure mode
The issue we have here is that `authentik-nix/poetry2nix` was written
into the `overrideMap` which caused Nix to assume it's a new input and
tried to refetch it (#460) or errored out in pure mode
(nix-eval-jobs / Hydra).
The testcase unfortunately only involves checking for the output log
and makes sure that something *is* logged on the first fetch so that
the test doesn't rot when the logging changes since I didn't
manage to trigger the error above with the reproducer from #460. In
fact, I only managed to trigger the `cannot update unlocked flake input`
error in this context with `nix-eval-jobs`.

I don't like having so many reinterpret_cast statements that have to
actually be looked at to determine if they are UB. A huge number of the
reinterpret_cast instances in Lix are actually casting to some pointer
of some character type, which is always valid no matter the source type.
However, it is also worth looking at if it is not casting both *from* a
character type and also *to* a character type, since IMO splatting a
struct into a character array should be a very deliberate action instead
of just being about dealing with bad APIs.
So let's write a template that encapsulates this invariant so we can
not worry about the trivially safe reinterpret_cast invocations.

how to deal with versions like -rc1 and considers them newer, which is
in this case not desirable.
That in turn led to not tagging 2.90.0 docker images as "latest" since
the heuristic was wrong.
This commit also adds some more cross-checking and failsafes in case the
person running releng does not have a local main branch that is up to
date.

Currently, the parser relies on the global experimental feature flags.
In order to properly test conditional language features, we instead need
to pass it around in the parser::State.
This means that the parser cannot cache the result of isEnabled anymore,
which wouldn't necessarily hurt performance if the function didn't
perform a linear search on the list of enabled features on every single
call. While we could simply evaluate once at the start of parsing and
cache the result in the parser state, the more sustainable solution
would be to fix `isEnabled` such that all callers may profit from the
performance improvement.

The growth of the seccomp filter in 127ee1a101
made its compilation time significant (roughly 10 milliseconds have been
measured on one machine). For this reason, it is now precompiled and cached in
the parent process so that this overhead is not hit for every single build. It
is still not optimal when going through the daemon, because compilation still
happens once per client, but it's better than before and doing it only once for
the entire daemon requires excessive crimes with the current architecture.

This *should* be sound, plus or minus the amount that the terminal code

This is useful for testing CLI output because it will strip the escapes

The docs page has an incorrect escape that leads to a backslash

Change-Id: Ib63adf934efd3caeb82ca82988f230e8858a79f9
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.

this begins a long and arduous journey to remove all result state from
Goal, to eventually drop the std::enable_shared_from_this base, and to
completely eliminate all unsynchronized modification of states of both
Goal and Worker. by the end of this we will hopefully be able to start
and reap multiple derivation builds in parallel, which should speed up
the process quite a bit (at least for short local builds, others might
not notice a large difference. the build hooks will remain a problem.)

In the SSH code, the logger was conditionally paused, but unconditionally
resumed. This was fine as long as resuming the logger was idempotent. Starting
with 0dd1d8ca1c, it isn't any more, and the
behaviour of the code in question was missed. Consequently, an assertion
failure is triggered for example when performing builds against an "SSH" store
on localhost. Fix the issue by only resuming the logger when it has actually
been paused.

The original attempt at this introduced a regression; this commit
reverts the revert and fixes the regression.
This reverts commit 3e151d4d77.
Fix to the regression:
flakeref: fix handling of `?dir=` param for flakes in subdirs
As reported in #419[1], accessing a flake in a subdir of a Git
repository fails with the previous commit[2] applied with the error
error: unsupported Git input attribute 'dir'
The problem is that the `dir`-param is inserted into the parsed URL if a
flake is fetched from the subdir of a Git repository. However, for the
fetching part this isn't even needed. The fix is to just pass `subdir`
as second argument to `FlakeRef` (which needs a `basedir` that can be
empty) and leave the parsedURL as-is.
Added a regression test to make sure we don't run into this again.

Previously, system call filtering (to prevent builders from storing files with
setuid/setgid permission bits or extended attributes) was performed using a
blocklist. While this looks simple at first, it actually carries significant
security and maintainability risks: after all, the kernel may add new syscalls
to achieve the same functionality one is trying to block, and it can even be
hard to actually add the syscall to the blocklist when building against a C
library that doesn't know about it yet. For a recent demonstration of this
happening in practice to Nix, see the introduction of fchmodat2 [0] [1].
The allowlist approach does not share the same drawback. While it does require
a rather large list of harmless syscalls to be maintained in the codebase,
failing to update this list (and roll out the update to all users) in time has
rather benign effects; at worst, very recent programs that already rely on new
syscalls will fail with an error the same way they would on a slightly older
kernel that doesn't support them yet. Most importantly, no unintended new ways
of performing dangerous operations will be silently allowed.
Another possible drawback is reduced system call performance due to the larger
filter created by the allowlist requiring more computation [2]. However, this
issue has not convincingly been demonstrated yet in practice, for example in
systemd or various browsers. To the contrary, it has been measured that the the
actual filter constructed here has approximately the same overhead as a very
simple filter blocking only one system call.
This commit tries to keep the behavior as close to unchanged as possible. The
system call list is in line with libseccomp 2.5.5 and glibc 2.39, which are the
latest versions at the point of writing. Since libseccomp 2.5.5 is already a
requirement and the distributions shipping this together with older versions of
glibc are mostly not a thing any more, this should not lead to more build
failures any more.

Due to a leftover from a previous version where the buffer was allocated on the

accidentally passes the size of a pointer as the size of the buffer to the

to excessive progress reports, which happen for each chunk. Pass the proper

When the configured maximum depth has been reached, attribute sets and lists
are printed with ellipsis to indicate the elision of nested items. Previously,
this happened even in case the structure being printed is empty, so that such
items do not in fact exist. This is confusing, so stop doing it.

The repeated value detection logic exists so that the occurrence of large
common substructures does not fill up the screen or the computer's memory.
However, empty attribute sets and derivations (when their detection is enabled)
are always cheap to print, and in practice I have observed them to make up a
significant majority of the cases where I was annoyed by the repeated value
detection kicking in. Furthermore, `nix-instantiate --eval` already disables
this logic for empty attribute sets, and empty lists are already exempted
everywhere. For these reasons, always print empty attribute sets and
derivations as what they are.

When pretty-printing is enabled, previously an unforced thunk would trigger
indentation, even when it subsequently does not evaluate to a nested structure.
The resulting output looked inconsistent, and furthermore pretty-printing was
not idempotent (since pretty-printing the same value again, which is now fully
evaluated, will not trigger indentation).
When strict evaluation is enabled, force the item before inspecting its type,
so that it is properly known whether it contains a nested structure.
Furthermore, there is no need to cause indentation for unforced thunks, since
the very next operation will be printing them as `«thunk»`.
This is mostly a port of https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11100 , but we only
force the item when it's going to be forced anyway due to strict
pretty-printing, and a new test was written since the REPL testing framework in
Lix is different.

The insertion marker comment broke the list into two parts, the first
containing only the link to the upcoming release notes and the second the
past releases. This confused the generator, leading to the first part being
discarded. Indent the marker comment so that it's syntactically part of the
preceding item, and in particular doesn't split the list any more.

Due to a mistake in the grammar, a dollar character implicitly escapes a second
dollar character that immediately follows, so that it cannot start an
interpolation. Unfortunately, this behaviour has since come to be relied upon,
so it cannot be fixed. Furthermore, the documentation on regular strings did
not mention this behaviour at all, while in the case of indented strings it was
rather implicit.
Mention it explicitly in both cases, and describe how an interpolation can
follow a dollar character (namely, by escaping that). Since we have to touch
that section anyway, state that any character (other than n, r, and t; but
notably including `$` even if not succeeded by `{`) can be escaped using a
backslash in regular strings.

Previous test implementation assumed that grep supports newlines
in patterns. It doesn't, so tests spuriously passed, even though
some tests outputs were broken.
This patches output (and expected output) before grepping,
so there're no newlines in pattern.

this is cursed. deeply and profoundly cursed. under NO CIRCUMSTANCES
must protocol serializer helpers be applied to temporaries! doing so
will inevitably cause dangling references and cause the entire thing
to crash. we need to do this even so to get rid of boost coroutines,
and likewise to encapsulate the serializers we suffer today at least
a little bit to allow a gradual migration to an actual IPC protocol.
(this isn't a problem that's unique to generators. c++ coroutines in
general cannot safely take references to arbitrary temporaries since
c++ does not have a lifetime system that can make this safe. -sigh-)

this is not completely necessary at this point because the parser right
now already returns a generator to pass through all input data it read,
but the nar parser *was* very lax and would accept nars that weren't in
canonical form (defined as the form dumpPath would return). nar hashing
depends on these things, and as such rewriting the parser now allows us
to reject non-canonical nars that extract to the same store contents as
their canonical counterpart but have different nar hashes despite that.

This was filed as https://github.com/nixos/nix/issues/7584, but as far
as I can tell, the previous solution of POLLHUP works just fine on macOS
14. I've also tested on an ancient machine with macOS 10.15.7, which
also has POLLHUP work correctly.
It's possible this might regress some older versions of macOS that have
a kernel bug, but I went looking through the history on the sources and
didn't find anything that looked terribly convincingly like a bug fix
between 2020 and today. If such a broken version exists, it seems pretty
reasonable to suggest simply updating the OS.

This is caused by pthread_cancel effectively throwing a
not-specifically-identifiable C++ exception into the targeted thread,
which, if it is not rethrown, terminates the process entirely.
This is rather "impolite" behaviour, we would say. But thread
cancellation is *always* busted, and we should simply not use it where
unnecessary. It's particularly unnecessary when what we *actually* need
it for is, err, interrupting a poll(2).
That can in turn be achieved by simply listening to more stuff in the
poll, namely, a pipe, which we send a character to when needing to
stop the thread.
While looking at this code, we also investigated whether any of the
poll() madness is required, or was even *ever* required. Curiously we
found in the XNU kernel source code that the thing about needing to
listen to POLLHUP is probably *correct*, but switching it to POLLRDNORM
should not have made any difference at all. We've left a FIXME to look
into that further because what's written here is super janky.

This also bans various sneaking of negative numbers from the language
into unsuspecting builtins as was exposed while auditing the
consequences of changing the Nix language integer type to a newtype.
It's unlikely that this change comprehensively ensures correctness when
passing integers out of the Nix language and we should probably add a
checked-narrowing function or something similar, but that's out of scope
for the immediate change.
During the development of this I found a few fun facts about the
language:
- You could overflow integers by converting from unsigned JSON values.
- You could overflow unsigned integers by converting negative numbers
into them when going into Nix config, into fetchTree, and into flake
inputs.
The flake inputs and Nix config cannot actually be tested properly
since they both ban thunks, however, we put in checks anyway because
it's possible these could somehow be used to do such shenanigans some
other way.
Note that Lix has banned Nix language integer overflows since the very
first public beta, but threw a SIGILL about them because we run with
-fsanitize=signed-overflow -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error in
production builds. Since the Nix language uses signed integers, overflow
was simply undefined behaviour, and since we defined that to trap, it
did.
Trapping on it was a bad UX, but we didn't even entirely notice
that we had done this at all until it was reported as a bug a couple of
months later (which is, to be fair, that flag working as intended), and
it's got enough production time that, aside from code that is IMHO buggy
(and which is, in any case, not in nixpkgs) such as
lix-project/lix#445, we don't think
anyone doing anything reasonable actually depends on wrapping overflow.
Even for weird use cases such as doing funny bit crimes, it doesn't make
sense IMO to have wrapping behaviour, since two's complement arithmetic
overflow behaviour is so *aggressively* not what you want for *any* kind
of mathematics/algorithms. The Nix language exists for package
management, a domain where bit crimes are already only dubiously in
scope to begin with, and it makes a lot more sense for that domain for
the integers to never lose precision, either by throwing errors if they
would, or by being arbitrary-precision.
This change will be ported to CppNix as well, to maintain language
consistency.
Fixes: lix-project/lix#423

The actual motive here is the avoidance of integer overflow if we were
to make these use checked NixInts and retain the subtraction.
However, the actual *intent* of this code is a three-way comparison,
which can be done with operator<=>, so we should just do *that* instead.

this will let us turn copyNAR into a generator as well, which in turn is
necessary to turn the users of copyNAR into generators without resorting
to sinkToSource coroutines. currently this uses the SerializingTransform

a performance problem we can easily swap out the transform for one which
does not produce any bytes of its own, but that should not be necessary.

`nix-collect-garbage --dry-run` previously elided the entire garbage
collection check, meaning that it would just exit the script without
printing anything.
This change makes the dry run flag instead set the GC action to
`gcReturnDead` rather than `gcDeleteDead`, and then continue with the
script. So if you set `--dry-run`, it will print the paths it *would*
have garbage collected, but not actually delete them.
I filed a bug for this: lix-project/lix#432 but then realised I could give fixing it a go myself.

Activities can set display attributes in their log output using the "Select
Graphics Rendition" functionality. To prevent interfering with subsequent text

standard progress bar already does.

this much more closely mimics what is actually happening: we're reading

generators are a better basis for serializers than streaming into sinks
as we do currently for many reasons, such as being usable as sources if
one wishes to (without requiring an intermediate sink to serialize full
data sets into memory, or boost coroutines to turn sinks into sources),
composing more naturally (as one can just yield a sub-generator instead
of being forced to wrap entire substreams into clunky functions or even
more clunky custom types to implement operator<< on), allowing wrappers
to transform data with clear ownership semantics (removing the need for
explicit memory allocations and Source wrappers), and many other things

us to greatly simplify many things that look like iteration but aren't.

not printing activities at all when no progress information is available
hides *all* progress information from e.g. flake show. this is not ideal
and needs to be fixed, but the fix *still* has problems with flake show:
in multiline mode we will overwrite all useful flake show output as soon
as the progress bar is redrawn. flake show output is also mangled in any
number of other situations (like -v being set), so we should probably be
not too worried about it and fix progress reporting properly another day
Change-Id: I6d39d670e261bbae00560b6a8e15dec8e16b35c4
Previously, the progress bar had two subtly different states in which the bar
would not actually render, both with their own shortcomings: inactive (which
was irreversible) and paused (reversible, but swallowing logs). Furthermore,
there was no way of resetting the statistics, so a very bad solution was
implemented (243c0f18da) that would create a new
logger for each line of the repl, leaking the previous one and discarding the
value of printBuildLogs. Finally, if stderr was not attached to a TTY, the
update thread was started even though the logger was not active, violating the
invariant required by the destructor (which is not observed because the logger
is leaked).
In this commit, the two aforementioned states are unified into a single one,
which can be exited again, correctly upholds the invariant that the update
thread is only running while the progress bar is active, and does not swallow
logs. The latter change in behavior is not expected to be a problems in the
rare cases where the paused state was used before, since other loggers (like
the simple one) don't exhibit it anyway. The startProgressBar/stopProgressBar
API is removed due to being a footgun, and a new method for properly resetting
the progress is added.

we do not have any of these warnings appearing at the moment, but it
seems like a good idea to enable [[nodiscard]] checking anyway. once
we start introducing more functions with must-use conditions we will
need such checking, and the rust stdlib has proven them very useful.

The `allow-flake-configuration` option allows the user to control whether to
accept configuration options supplied by flakes. Unfortunately, setting this
to false really meant "ask each time" (with an option to remember the choice
for each specific option encountered). Let no mean no, and introduce (and
default to) a separate value for the "ask each time" behaviour.

We previously allowed you to map any flake URL to any other flake URL,
including shorthand flakerefs, indirect flake URLs like `flake:nixpkgs`,
direct flake URLs like `github:NixOS/nixpkgs`, or local paths.
But flake registry entries mapping from direct flake URLs often come
from swapping the 'from' and 'to' arguments by accident, and even when
created intentionally, they may not actually work correctly.
This patch rejects those URLs (and fully-qualified flake: URLs), making
it harder to swap the arguments by accident.
Fixes#181.

this most notably affects `nix eval`: if there is no progress bar to be
shown and no activities going on we should not print anything at all. a
progress bar with no activities would print a bunch of terminal escapes
*and a space*, which is not helpful in simple cases like nix eval -E 1.
notably this does *not* affect nix eval called on non-terminal outputs,
but it is slightly confusing nevertheless (and not difficult to avoid).

this gives about 20% performance improvements on pure parsing. obviously
it will be less on full eval, but depending on how much parsing is to be
done (e.g. including hackage-packages.nix or not) it's more like 4%-10%.
this has been tested (with thousands of core hours of fuzzing) to ensure
that the ASTs produced by the new parser are exactly the same as the old
one would have produced. error messages will change (sometimes by a lot)
and are not yet perfect, but we would rather leave this as is for later.
test results for running only the parser (excluding the variable binding
code) in a tight loop with inputs and parameters as given are promising:
- 40% faster on lix's package.nix at 10000 iterations
- 1.3% faster on nixpkgs all-packages.nix at 1000 iterations
- equivalent on all of nixpkgs concatenated at 100 iterations
(excluding invalid files, each file surrounded with parens)
more realistic benchmarks are somewhere in between the extremes, parsing
once again getting the largest uplift. other realistic workloads improve
by a few percentage points as well, notably system builds are 4% faster.

This reverts commit 35eec921af.
Reason for revert: Regressed nix-eval-jobs, and it appears to be this change is buggy/missing a case. It just needs another pass.
Code causing the problem in n-e-j, when invoked with `nix-eval-jobs --flake '.#hydraJobs'`:
```

```
```
nix::Value *vRoot = [&]() {

args.releaseExpr, nix::absPath("."));

{}, {}, args.lockFlags};
return flake.toValue(*state).first;
} else {
return releaseExprTopLevelValue(*state, autoArgs, args);
}
}();
```
Inspecting the program behaviour reveals that `dir` was in fact set in the URL going into the fetcher. This is in turn because unlike in the case changed in this commit, it was not erased before handing it to libfetchers, which is probably just a mistake.

this was only used in one place, and that place has been rewritten to
use a temporary file instead. keeping this around is not very helpful
at this time, and in any case we'd be better off rewriting subprocess

things but also async frameworks necessary for this easily available.

much more pronounced once runProgram returns not is collected output

it isn't necessary in almost all cases (as demonstrated by only this
single user existing) and in much better handled with a proper async
concurrency model that lets the caller handle both at the same time.

copy-constructing or assigning from pid_t can easily lead to duplicate
Pid instances for the same process if a pid_t was used carelessly, and
Pid itself was copy-constructible. both could cause surprising results
such as killing processes twice (which could become very problemantic,
but luckily modern systems don't reuse PIDs all that quickly), or more
than one piece of the code believing it owns a process when neither do

this is only used in one place, and only to set a nicer error message on

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.

I did a whole bunch of `git log -S` to find out exactly when all these
things were obsoleted and found the commit in which their usage was
removed, which I have added in either the error message or a comment.
I've also made *some* of the version checks into static asserts for when
we update the minimum supported protocol version.
In the end this is not a lot of code we are deleting, but it's code that
we will never have to support into the future when we build a protocol
bridge, which is why I did it. It is not in the support baseline.

This happened during a PathSubstitutionGoal of a .drv file:
substitution of '/tmp/jade/nix-test/ca/eval-store/store/1lj7lsq5y0f25mfbnq6d3zd0bw5ay33n-dependencies-input-2.drv'
What happened here is that since PathSubstitutionGoal is not a
DerivationGoal, in production builds, the UB was not caught, since it
would early-exit from failing a dynamic_cast to DerivationGoal * on the
very next line, but before the null reference was ever used.
This was nonetheless UB. The fix should be to just rearrange the two
lines; I don't think there is a further bug there, since *substituting a
.drv* **necessarily** means you cannot have the representation of
the derivation as would be necessary for drv to not be null there.

configuration so we get nice diagnostics. Not much else to say.

We got UBSan working on Lix, so we of course immediately found a bug and
some definitely nonsense behaviour.
Accessing `pureEval` or `restrictEval` from a default setting value is
nonsense, since they would never be actually set by the time that value
is set so they are not going to do anything. The configuration is not
applied in an initializer (and even if it were, it's not going to be in
the right order).
After looking into *that*, we hunted down what actually was applying
these, since clearly this code did not do anything. The EvalState
constructor should have a "search path added and removed here :)" sign
on it, because that's where it is done. We added an explicit
initialization of the optional in there because it was otherwise unclear
why pureEval also has the search path to allowed paths setup code run.
We then realized that the `pureEval` documentation was *also* bogus, and
we rewrote it. In so doing, we realized that we forgot to file a bug to
make `builtins.storePath` work in pure eval mode, so we filed one of
those: lix-project/lix#402
Yaks have been thoroughly shorn.
UBSan report:

The lock usage was obviously wrong so it was entirely serialized. This
has the predicted speedups, the only question is whether it is sound
because it's exposing a bunch of new code to actual concurrency.
I did audit all the stores' queryPathInfoUncached implementations and
they all look *intended* to be thread safe, but whether that is actually
sound or not: lol lmao. I am highly confident in the s3 one because it
is calling s3 sdk methods that are thread safe and has no actual state.
Others are using Pool and look to be *supposed* to be thread safe, but
unsure if they actually are.

Found by looking for interesting asan reports from the test suite.
What happened here is that name got overwritten, but it was what
actually held the backing memory for the thing it got overwritten by,
which was a by-reference value coming out of std::regex.
Due to absurd reasons I cannot seem to use a string_view iterator here,
so I just copy the string with a longer lifetime instead. idk lol

There was a previously-unused move constructor that just called abort,
which makes no sense since it ought to just be `= delete` if you don't
want one (commit history says it was Eelco doing an optimistic
performance optimisation in 2016, so it probably would not pass review
today).
However, a Lock has some great reasons to be moved! You might need to
unlock it early, for instance, or give it to someone else. So we change
the move constructor to instead hollow out the moved-from object and
make it unusable.

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.

now that destructors are hooked up we want to give the C skeleton every
real chance to actually run them. since bison does not call destructors
on values that have been passed to semantic actions even when an action
causes an abort we will also have to delete some things manually still.

this doesn't help much yet since the state objects themselves also leak
all memory they are given, but it is a first necessary step to properly
managing parser memory. notably we have to clear $$ when returning from
the parser since even the start symbol is subject to automatic deletion
by the bison-generated parser before returning control to the call site

* changes:
Change error messages about 'invalid paths' to 'path does not exist'.
Add a clearer error message for InvalidPathError during evaluation
Harmonise the Store::queryPathInfoUncached interface
This:
- Consistently returns `nullptr` for a non-existent
store path, instead of a mix of `nullptr` and
throwing exceptions.
- If a store returns "bad" store paths in response
to a request (e.g. incorrect hash or name), don't
cache this result. This removes some duplication
of code at the cache-access layer of queryPathInfo()
checking this, and allows us to provide more
specific errors.
Part of #270.

Forgejo appears to immediately delete registry content that is
overwritten. This means that we are forced to delete our previous
workaround of making a temporary tag and use a new, more absurd
workaround of making an entire temporary image that we basically only
need to create to get its hash.
However, on the plus side, the new workaround doesn't create garbage
tags to begin with, which means that we don't have to deal with GitHub
not implementing the standardized tag delete endpoint and instead
only implementing a proprietary one.

I don't know when this broke, it seems like it happened since the 24.05
upgrade, so xonsh 0.15.
What happened is that xonsh was trying to intercept log output, which
explodes if you have the logger survive past one command input. This is,
however, impossible to avoid if you are trying to use logging when you
import releng from inside xonsh for interactive use!
The error below is because the memory handler backing the stdout/stderr
of the one command that's just been run was closed after the command
completed.

There were two bugs I found:
1. If the build isn't already done in the store, nix-store --realise
does not know how to build it. You have to just give it the
derivation and I guess it will realise all outputs, which is fine.
2. cp without -T will not overwrite an existing manual directory,
creating a path manual/manual.

This was originally going to be just the testsuite but I kinda just

I am tired of us not documenting these. This is a starting point to
producing an actually good index. I would like to enforce it in a

This is full of a bunch of TODOs caused by auditing code. They should
probably be done at some point.

-- message from cl/1418 --
The boehmgc changes are bundled into this commit because doing otherwise
would require an annoying dance of "adding compatibility for < 8.2.6 and
>= 8.2.6" then updating the pin then removing the (now unneeded)
compatibility. It doesn't seem worth the trouble to me given the low
complexity of said changes.
Rebased coroutine-sp-fallback.diff patch taken from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/317227
-- 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.

* changes:
releng: add prod environment, ready for release
releng: automatically figure out if we should tag latest for docker
releng: support multiarch docker images
manual: rewrite the docker guide now that we have images
Rewrite docker to be sensible and smaller
Implement docker upload in the releng tools
I am *reasonably* confident that this releng infrastructure can actually
build a Lix 2.90 and release it successfully. Let's make it possible to
do, and add some cute colours to the confirmation message.
Change-Id: I85e498b6fb49ffc5e75c0a72c5e45fb1f69030d3
For example, when releasing from release-2.90, if `main` has a 2.91 tag
ancestor, we know that 2.91 was released, so we should *not* tag latest.

If we don't want to have separate registry tags by architecture (EWWWW),
we need to be able to build multiarch docker images. This is pretty
simple, and just requires making a manifest pointing to each of the
component images.
I was *going* to just do this API prodding with manifest-tool, but it
doesn't support putting metadata on the outer manifest, which is
actually kind of a problem because it then doesn't render the metadata
on github. So I guess we get a simple little containers API
implementation that is 90% auth code.

I have checked the image can build things and inspected `diff -ru`
compared to the old image. As far as I can tell it is more or less
the same besides the later git change.
Layers are now 65MB or less, and we aren't against the maxLayers limit
for the broken automatic layering to do anything but shove one store
path in a layer (which is good behaviour, actually).
This uses nix2container which streams images, so the build time is much
shorter.
I have also taken the opportunity to, in addition to fixing the 400MB
single layer (terrible, and what motivated this in the first place),
delete about 200MB of closure size inflicted by git vs gitMinimal
causing both perl and python to get into closure.
People mostly use this thing for CI, so I don't really think you need
advanced git operations, and large git can be added at the user side if
really motivated.
With love for whichever container developer somewhat ironically assumed
that one would not run skopeo in a minimal container that doesn't have a
/var/tmp.

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.

Previously the entire escaped store URI was included. This would cause
build failures if a very long or deeply nested path was being used in
the store.
Now, we use the first 48 characters of the URL (escaped), then 16 bytes
of hash of the entire URL. This should never collide and limits the
length of the file name to a bit over 64, which is fine.

This is because a dynamic_cast<nix::RootArgs *> of a (n-e-j) MyArgs
returns nullptr even though MyArgs has virtual nix::RootArgs as a
parent.
class MyArgs : virtual public nix::MixEvalArgs,
virtual public nix::MixCommonArgs,
virtual nix::RootArgs { ... };
So this should work right?? But it does not. We found out that it's
caused by -fvisibility=hidden in n-e-j, but honestly this code was bad
anyway.
The trivial solution is to simply stop relying on RTTI working properly
here, which is probably better OO architecture anyway. However, I am not
100% confident *this* is sound, since we have this horrible hierarchy:
Args (defines getRoot)
/ | \
RootArgs MixCommonArgs MixEvalArgs
(overrides)
I am not confident that this is guaranteed to resolve from Args always
in the case of this override.

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.

I wonder if the "regression" in codegen time is just doing the PCH
operation a few times, because meson does it per-target.

If our shellHook is being run from a nested nix-shell (see 7a12bc200¹),
then (I think) it is run from a bash function due to the nesting, then
`return` is correct. If its `eval`'d though, then there isn't really a
correct way to early exit. So we can just unconditionally be executed in
a function.
Basically, we have IIFE at home.

while refactoring the curl wrapper we inadvertently broken the immutable

across the entire redirect chain instead of using only the headers given

the penultimate entry of the redirect chain, and curl does not regard it
as worth returning to us via its response header enumeration mechanisms.

If a nested nix-shell is run inside a nix-shell, then the outer shell's

With lix's hook, this can be annoying: forgetting to exit its nix-shell,
cd'ing to another repository & entering a nested nix-shell will happily
install lix's pre-commit hook in it.
This change makes lix's hook return early in such cases.

According to doc/manual/src/contributing/hacking.md, all development
shells should also be available in classic nix using the -A argument
to nix-shell, e.g.
nix-shell -A native-clangStdenvPackages
This was not actually the case; flake-compat generates attrsets like
nix-shell -A devShells.x86_64-linux.native-clangStdenvPackages
instead. These are unwieldy to use, so rather than changing the docs,
this changes the shell.nix file to result in the documented behavior.

check goals for timeouts first, and their activity fds only if no
timeout has occurred. checking for timeouts *after* activity sets
us up for assertion failures by running multiple build completion
notifiers, the first of which will kill/reap the the goal process
and consuming the Pid instance. when the second notifier attempts
to do the same it will core dump with an assertion failure in Pid
and take down not only the single goal, but the entire daemon and
all goals it was building. luckily this is rare in practice since
it requires a build to both finish and time out at the same time.
writing a test for this is not feasible due to how much it relies
on scheduling to actually trigger the underlying bug, but on idle
machines it can usually be triggered by running multiple sleeping
builds with timeout set to the sleep duration and `--keep-going`:
nix-build --timeout 10 --builders '' --keep-going -E '
with import <nixpkgs> {};

8c06b7b43¹ made libfetchers log the URL being fetched just before the
actual fetch, particularly in case something freezes. This used the base
URL, to not include query parameters, as the Nixpkgs lib tests assume
that stderr logs will be equal across shallow and non-shallow git
fetches (and shallow fetches have the ?shallow=1 query parameter).
8c06b7b43 assumed that the `base` field of ParsedURL would be populated,
as the comment simply says "URL without query/fragment"... but
apparently it is not populated when the URL being fetched is *already*
fetched, which caused libfetchers to log things like
fetching gitlab input ''
which is. silly. but you know, busted lix be busted.
Anyway, with this commit we just remove the query params before printing

We still need to fix the internal includes to follow the same schema so

To apply this migration automatically, remove all `<nix/>` from
includes, so: `#include <nix/expr.hh>` -> `#include <expr.hh>`. Then,
the correct paths will be resolved from the tangled mess, and the

all SysErrors might seem "dangerous" but this is the tab-completion

have more than one nixpkgs in the environment, for example, because
`repl-overlays` will load the new stuff from the environment on top of

nix::fetchers::CacheImpl uses $XDG_CACHE_HOME, or its default based on
$HOME, to store its SQLite database. If the current process can't write
to that directory for whatever reason, though, any eval-time fetching
would fail just initializing the cache.
With this change, IO errors initializing the fetcher cache are logged
but ignored, and nix::fetchers::CacheImpl falls back to an in-memory¹
database instead.
Notably, this will fix any uses eval fetching while Lix itself is being
run in a derivation builder (such as during tests), as the derivation
builder does not set $XDG_CACHE_HOME, and sets $HOME to the non-existent
directory /homeless-shelter.

having the serializer write into `*conn` is not legal because we are
in a sinkToSource that will be drained by the remote we're connected
to. writing into `*conn` directly can break the framing protocol. it
is unlikely this code was ever run: to protocol it caters to is from
2016(!) and thoroughly untested in-tree, and since it's been present
since nix 2.17 and the 1.18 protocol broken here is nix 2.0 we might
safely assume that daemons older than nix 2.1 are no longer used now

This builtin was always a problem and nixpkgs uses it in exactly one
place, to give up if the Nix version is absurdly old. It has no other

There are a few places in nixpkgs lib where `**Foo**:` is used as a heading instead of the usual markdown `# Foo` ones. I think this is intentional with how it gets rendered in the manual, e.g. [`lib.lists.sortOn`][1].
[1]: https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#function-library-lib.lists.sortOn
`nix-doc` prints this as
```
*Laws**:
```nix
sortOn f == sort (p: q: f p < f q)
```
```
chomping off the first asterisk as part of `cleanup_single_line` that's meant to deal with `/** \n * \n * \n */` style doc comments. This also means the usage in lix ends up funny-looking with a trailing asterisk as if there's a footnote to pay attention to (which is how I first noticed it, heh)
The fix:
When cleaning up a single line and removing a prefix comment character,
ensure it's followed by whitespace (or the last character of the line).

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).

(054be50257), so this reasoning is no longer
applicable. Delete this code so that later interrupts are unblocked again, for

Because of an objc quirk[1], calling curl_global_init for the first time
after fork() will always result in a crash.
Up until now the solution has been to set
OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY for every nix process to ignore
that error.
This is less than ideal because we were setting it in package.nix,
which meant that running nix tests locally would fail because
that variable was not set.
Instead of working around that error we address it at the core -
by calling curl_global_init inside initLibStore, which should mean
curl will already have been initialized by the time we try to do so in
a forked process.

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.

synopsis: "Build failures caused by `allowSubstitutes = false` while being the wrong system now produce a decent error"
issues: [fj#484]
cls: [1841]
category: Fixes
credits: jade
---
Nix allows derivations to set `allowSubstitutes = false` in order to force them to be built locally without querying substituters for them.
This is useful for derivations that are very fast to build (especially if they produce large output).
However, this can shoot you in the foot if the derivation *has* to be substituted such as if the derivation is for another architecture, which is what `--always-allow-substitutes` is for.
Perhaps such derivations that are known to be impossible to build locally should ignore `allowSubstitutes` (irrespective of remote builders) in the future, but this at least reports the failure and solution directly.
```
$ nix build -f fail.nix
error: a 'unicornsandrainbows-linux' with features {} is required to build '/nix/store/...-meow.drv', but I am a 'x86_64-linux' with features {...}
Hint: the failing derivation has allowSubstitutes set to false, forcing it to be built rather than substituted.
Passing --always-allow-substitutes to force substitution may resolve this failure if the path is available in a substituter.
Previously a `.drv` that was truncated in the middle of a string would case nix to enter an infinite loop, eventually exhausting all memory and crashing.
synopsis: Duplicate attribute reports are more accurate
cls: 557

Duplicate attribute errors are now more accurate, showing the path at which an error was detected rather than the full, possibly longer, path that caused the error.

synopsis: fix duplicate attribute error positions for `inherit`
prs: 9874
---
When an inherit caused a duplicate attribute error the position of the error was not reported correctly, placing the error with the inherit itself or at the start of the bindings block instead of the offending attribute name.
synopsis: "`inherit (x) ...` evaluates `x` only once"
prs: 9847
---
`inherit (x) a b ...` now evaluates the expression `x` only once for all inherited attributes rather than once for each inherited attribute.
This does not usually have a measurable impact, but side-effects (such as `builtins.trace`) would be duplicated and expensive expressions (such as derivations) could cause a measurable slowdown.
Leading periods were allowed by accident in Nix 2.4. The Nix team has considered this to be a bug, but this behavior has since been relied on by users, leading to unnecessary difficulties.
From now on, leading periods are officially, definitively supported. The names `.` and `..` are disallowed, as well as those starting with `.-` or `..-`.
Nix versions that denied leading periods are documented [in the issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/912#issuecomment-1919583286).
synopsis: "`nix profile` now allows referring to elements by human-readable name, and no longer accepts indices"
prs: 8678
cls: [978, 980]

[`nix profile`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-profile.md) now uses names to refer to installed packages when running [`list`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-profile-list.md), [`remove`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-profile-remove.md) or [`upgrade`](@docroot@/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-profile-upgrade.md) as opposed to indices. Indices have been removed. Profile element names are generated when a package is installed and remain the same until the package is removed.
**Warning**: The `manifest.nix` file used to record the contents of profiles has changed. Lix will automatically upgrade profiles to the new version when you modify the profile. After that, the profile can no longer be used by older versions of Lix.
synopsis: Experimental REPL support for documentation comments using `:doc`
cls: 564
---
Using `:doc` in the REPL now supports showing documentation comments when defined on a function.
Previously this was only able to document builtins, however it now will show comments defined on a lambda as well.
This support is experimental and relies on an embedded version of [nix-doc](https://github.com/lf-/nix-doc).
The logic also supports limited Markdown formatting of doccomments and should easily support any [RFC 145](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0145-doc-strings.md)
compatible documentation comments in addition to simple commented documentation.
synopsis: "Some Lix crashes now produce reporting instructions and a stack trace, then abort"
cls: [1854]
category: Improvements
credits: jade
---
Lix, being a C++ program, can crash in a few kinds of ways.
It can obviously do a memory access violation, which will generate a core dump and thus be relatively debuggable.
But, worse, it could throw an unhandled exception, and, in the past, we would just show the message but not where it comes from, in spite of this always being a bug, since we expect all such errors to be translated to a Lix specific error.
Now the latter kind of bug should print reporting instructions, a rudimentary stack trace and (depending on system configuration) generate a core dump.
Sample output:
```
Lix crashed. This is a bug. We would appreciate if you report it along with what caused it at https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues with the following information included:

synopsis: using `nix profile` on `/nix/var/nix/profiles/default` no longer breaks `nix upgrade-nix`
cls: 952
---
On non-NixOS, Nix is conventionally installed into a `nix-env` style profile at /nix/var/nix/profiles/default.
Like any `nix-env` profile, using `nix profile` on it automatically migrates it to a `nix profile` style profile, which is incompatible with `nix-env`.
`nix upgrade-nix` previously relied solely on `nix-env` to do the upgrade, but now will work fine with either kind of profile.
synopsis: "`<nix/fetchurl.nix>` now uses TLS verification"
category: Fixes
prs: [11585]
credits: edolstra
---
Previously `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` did not do TLS verification. This was because the Nix sandbox in the past did not have access to TLS certificates, and Nix checks the hash of the fetched file anyway. However, this can expose authentication data from `netrc` and URLs to man-in-the-middle attackers. In addition, Nix now in some cases (such as when using impure derivations) does *not* check the hash. Therefore we have now enabled TLS verification. This means that downloads by `<nix/fetchurl.nix>` will now fail if you're fetching from a HTTPS server that does not have a valid certificate.
`<nix/fetchurl.nix>` is also known as the builtin derivation builder `builtin:fetchurl`. It's not to be confused with the evaluation-time function `builtins.fetchurl`, which was not affected by this issue.
This section describes the notion of *deprecated features*, and how it fits into the big picture of the development of Lix.
# What are deprecated features?
Deprecated features are disabled by default, with the intent to eventually remove them.
Users must explicitly enable them to keep using them, by toggling the associated [deprecated feature flags](@docroot@/command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-deprecated-features).
This allows backwards compatibility and a graceful transition away from undesired features.
# Which features can be deprecated?
Undesired features should be soft-deprecated by yielding a warning when used for a significant amount of time before the can be deprecated.
Legacy obsolete feature with little to no usage may go through this process faster.
Deprecated features should have a migration path to a preferred alternative.
# Lifecycle of a deprecated feature
This description is not normative, but a feature removal may roughly happen like this:
1. Add a warning when the feature is being used.
2. Disable the feature by default, putting it behind a deprecated feature flag.
- If disabling the feature started out as an opt-in experimental feature, turn that experimental flag into a no-op or remove it entirely.
For example, `--extra-experimental-features=no-url-literals` becomes `--extra-deprecated-features=url-literals`.
3. Decide on a time frame for how long that feature will still be supported for backwards compatibility, and clearly communicate that in the error messages.
- Sometimes, automatic migration to alternatives is possible, and such should be provided if possible
- At least one NixOS release cycle should be the minimum
4. Finally remove the feature entirely, only keeping the error message for those still using it.
In an ideal world, we'd have SemVer controls over the language and its features, cleanly allowing us to make breaking changes.
See https://wiki.lix.systems/books/lix-contributors/page/language-versioning and [RFC 137](https://github.com/nixos/rfcs/pull/137) for efforts on that.
However, we do not live in such an ideal world, and currently this goal is so far away, that "just disable it with some back-compat for a couple of years" is the most realistic solution, especially for comparatively minor changes.

If you are forward-porting a change from CppNix, please credit the original author, and optionally credit yourself.
When adding credits metadata for people external to the project and deciding whether to put in a `display_name`, consider what they are generally known as in the community; even if you know their full name (e.g. from their GitHub profile), we suggest only adding it as a display name if that is what they go by in the community.
There are multiple reasons we follow this practice, but it boils down to privacy and consent: we would rather not capture full names that are not widely used in the community without the consent of the parties involved, even if they are publicly available.
As of this writing, the entries with full names as `display_name` are either members of the CppNix team or people who added them themselves.
The names specified in `credits` are used as keys to look up the authorship info in `doc/manual/change-authors.yml`.
The only mandatory part is that every key appearing in `credits` has an entry present in `change-authors.yml`.
All of the following properties are optional; you can specify `{}` as the metadata if you want a simple non-hyperlinked mention.
The following properties are supported:
- `display_name`: display name used in place of the key when showing names, if present.
- `forgejo`: Forgejo username. The name in the release notes will be a link to this, if present.

## Magic environment variables
FIXME: maybe this section should be moved elsewhere or turned partially into user docs, but I just need a complete index for now.
I actually want to ban people calling getenv without writing documentation, and produce a comprehensive list of env-vars used by Lix and enforce it.
This is a non-exhaustive list of almost all environment variables, magic or not, accepted or used by various parts of the test suite as well as Lix itself.
Please add more if you find them.
I looked for these in the testsuite with the following bad regexes:
- `_NIX_DEVELOPER_SHOW_UNKNOWN_LOCATIONS` - Highlights unknown locations in errors.
- `NIX_PROFILE` - Selects which profile `nix-env` will operate on. Documented elsewhere.
- `NIX_SSHOPTS` - Options passed to `ssh(1)` when using a ssh remote store.
Incorrectly documented on `nix-copy-closure` which is *surely* not the only place they are used??
- `_NIX_TEST_GC_SYNC_1` - Path to a pipe that is used to block the GC briefly to validate invariants from the test suite.
- `_NIX_TEST_GC_SYNC_2` - Path to a pipe that is used to block the GC briefly to validate invariants from the test suite.
- `_NIX_TEST_FREE_SPACE_FILE` - Path to a file containing a decimal number with the free space that the GC is to believe it has.
- Various XDG vars
- `NIX_DEBUG_SQLITE_TRACES` - Dump all sqlite queries to the log at `notice` level.
- `_NIX_TEST_NO_SANDBOX` - Disables actually setting up the sandbox on macOS while leaving other logic the same. Unused on other platforms.
- `_NIX_TRACE_BUILT_OUTPUTS` - Dumps all the derivation paths alongside their outputs as lines into a file of the given name.

- `NIX_CLIENT_PACKAGE` - Runs the test suite against an alternate Nix client with the current daemon.

- `NIX_TESTS_CA_BY_DEFAULT` - Pass `__contentAddressed`, `outputHashMode` and `outputHashAlgo` to builds of some input-addressed derivations in the test suite.
**Expected value**: 1
- `TEST_DATA` - Not an environment variable! This is used in repl characterization tests to refer to `tests/functional/repl_characterization/data`.
More specifically, that path is replaced with the string `$TEST_DATA` in output for reproducibility.
- `TEST_HOME` (output) - Set to the temporary directory that is set as `$HOME` inside the tests, underneath `$TEST_ROOT`.
- `TEST_ROOT` (output) - Set to the temporary directory that is created for each test to mess with.
- `_NIX_TEST_DAEMON_PID` (output) - Used to track the daemon pid to be able to kill it.
**Provided value**: Daemon pid as a base-10 integer, e.g. 2345

<!--
Lix is available on the following two container registries:
To allow a Nix store to be shared safely among multiple users, it is
important that users are not able to run builders that modify the Nix
store or database in arbitrary ways, or that interfere with builds
started by other users. If they could do so, they could install a Trojan
horse in some package and compromise the accounts of other users.
To allow a Nix store to be shared safely among multiple users, it is important that users cannot meaningfully influence the execution of derivation builds such that they could inject malicious code into them without changing their (either input- or output- addressed) hash.
If they could do so, they could install a Trojan horse in some package and compromise the accounts of other users.
To prevent this, the Nix store and database are owned by some privileged
user (usually `root`) and builders are executed under special user
accounts (usually named `nixbld1`, `nixbld2`, etc.). When a unprivileged
user runs a Nix command, actions that operate on the Nix store (such as
builds) are forwarded to a *Nix daemon* running under the owner of the
Nix store/database that performs the operation.

The buried lede in the above sentence is that *currently*, even in multi-user mode using a daemon, if executing as the user that owns the store, Lix directly manipulates the store unless `--store daemon` is specified.
[We intend to change this in the future][multi-user-should-not-be-root].
## Setting up the build users
<divclass="warning">
The Lix team considers the goal of the sandbox to be primarily for preventing reproducibility mistakes, and does not consider multi-user mode to be a strong security boundary between users.
Do not evaluate or build untrusted, potentially-malicious, Nix language code on machines that you care deeply about maintaining user isolation on.
Although we would consider any sandbox escapes to be serious security bugs and we intend to fix them, we are not confident enough in the daemon's security to call the daemon a security boundary.
There are two categories of users of the Lix daemon: trusted users and untrusted users.
The Lix daemon only allows connections from users that are either trusted users, or are specified in, or are members of groups specified in, [`allowed-users`](../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-allowed-users) in `nix.conf`.
Trusted users are users and users of groups specified in [`trusted-users`](../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-trusted-users) in `nix.conf`.
All users of the Lix daemon may do the following to bring things into the Nix store:
- Users may load derivations and output-addressed files into the store with `nix-store --add` or through Nix language code.
- Users may locally build derivations, either of the output-addressed or input-addressed variety, creating output paths.
Note that [fixed-output derivations only consider name and hash](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/969), so it is possible to write a fixed-output derivation for something important with a bogus hash and have it resolve to something else already built in the store.
On systems with `sandbox` enabled (default on Linux; [not *yet* on macOS][sandbox-enable-macos]), derivations are either:
- Input-addressed, so they are run in the sandbox with no network access, with the following exceptions:
- The (poorly named, since it is not *just* about chroot) property `__noChroot` is set on the derivation and `sandbox` is set to `relaxed`.
- On macOS, the derivation property `__darwinAllowLocalNetworking` allows network access to localhost from input-addressed derivations regardless of the `sandbox` setting value.
This property exists with such semantics because macOS has no network namespace equivalent to isolate individual processes' localhost networking.
- On macOS, the derivation property `__sandboxProfile` accepts extra sandbox profile S-expressions, allowing derivations to bypass arbitrary parts of the sandbox without altogether disabling it.
This is only permitted when `sandbox` is set to `relaxed`.
- Output-addressed, so they are run with network access but their result must match an expected hash.
Trusted users may set any setting, including `sandbox = false`, so the sandbox state can be different at runtime from what is described in `nix.conf` for builds invoked with such settings.
- Users may copy appropriately-signed derivation outputs into the store.
By default, any paths *copied into a store* (such as by substitution) must have signatures from [`trusted-public-keys`](../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-trusted-public-keys) unless they are [output-addressed](../glossary.md#gloss-output-addressed-store-object).
Unsigned paths may be copied into a store if [`require-sigs`](../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-require-sigs) is disabled in the daemon's configuration (not default), or if the client is a trusted user and passed `--no-check-sigs` to `nix copy`.
- Users may request that the daemon substitutes appropriately-signed derivation outputs from a binary cache in the daemon's [`substituters`](../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-substituters) list.
Untrusted clients may also specify additional values for `substituters` (via e.g. `--extra-substituters` on a Nix command) that are listed in [`trusted-substituters`](../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-trusted-substituters).
A client could in principle substitute such paths itself then copy them to the daemon (see clause above) if they are appropriately signed but are *not* from a trusted substituter, however this is not implemented in the current Lix client to our knowledge, at the time of writing.
This probably means that `trusted-substituters` is a redundant setting except insofar as such substitution would have to be done on the client rather than as root on the daemon; and it is highly defensible to not allow random usage of our HTTP client running as root.
The Lix team and wider community does not consider the Lix daemon to be a *security boundary* against malicious Nix language code.
Although we do our best to make it secure, we do not recommend sharing a Lix daemon with potentially malicious users.
That means that public continuous integration (CI) builds of untrusted Nix code should not share builders with CI that writes into a cache used by trusted infrastructure.
For example, [hydra.nixos.org], which is the builder for [cache.nixos.org], does not execute untrusted Nix language code; a separate system, [ofborg] is used for CI of nixpkgs pull requests.
The build output of pull request CI is never pushed to [cache.nixos.org], and those systems are considered entirely untrusted.
This is because, among other things, the Lix sandbox is *more* susceptible to kernel exploits than Docker, which, unlike Lix, blocks nested user namespaces via `seccomp` in its default policy, and there have been many kernel bugs only exposed to unprivileged users via user namespaces allowing otherwise-root-only system calls.
In general, the Lix sandbox is set up to be relatively unrestricted while maintaining its goals of building useful, reproducible software; security is not its primary goal.
The Lix sandbox is a custom *non-rootless* Linux container implementation that has not been audited to nearly the same degree as Docker and similar systems.
Also, the Lix daemon is a complex and historied C++ executable running as root with very little privilege separation.
All of this means that a security hole in the Lix daemon gives immediate root access.
Systems like Docker (especially non-rootless Docker) should *themselves* probably not be used in a multi-tenant manner with mutually distrusting tenants, but the Lix daemon *especially* should not be used as such as of this writing.
The primary purpose of the sandbox is to strongly encourage packages to be reproducible, a goal which it is generally quite successful at.

### Trusted users
Trusted users are permitted to set any setting and bypass security restrictions on the daemon.
They are currently in widespread use for a couple of reasons such as remote builds (which we [intend to fix](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/171)).
Trusted users are effectively root on Nix daemons running as root (the default configuration) for *at least* the following reasons, and should be thus thought of as equivalent to passwordless sudo.
This is not a comprehensive list.
- They may copy an unsigned malicious built output into the store for `systemd` or anything else that will run as root, then when the system is upgraded, that path will be used from the local store rather than substituted.
- They may set the following settings that are commands the daemon will run as root:
- `build-hook`
- `diff-hook`
- `pre-build-hook`
- `post-build-hook`
- They may set `build-users-group`.
In particular, they may set it to empty string, which runs builds as root with respect to the rest of the system (!!).
We, too, [think that is absurd and intend to not accept such a configuration](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/242).
It is then simply an exercise to the reader to find a daemon that does `SCM_CREDENTIALS` over a `unix(7)` socket and lets you run commands as root, and mount it into the sandbox with `extra-sandbox-paths`.
At the very least, the Lix daemon itself (since `root` is a trusted user by default) and probably `systemd` qualify for this.
- They may set the `builders` list, which will have ssh run as root.
We aren't sure if there is a way to abuse this for command execution but it's plausible.
Note that setting `accept-flake-config` allows arbitrary Nix flakes to set Nix settings in the `nixConfig` stanza.
Do not set this setting or pass `--accept-flake-config` while executing untrusted Nix language code as a trusted user for the reasons above!
## Build users
The *build users* are the special UIDs under which builds are performed.
They should all be members of the *build users group*`nixbld`. This
group should have no other members. The build users should not be
members of any other group. On Linux, you can create the group and users
as follows:
A build user is selected for a build by looking in the group specified by [`build-users-group`](../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-build-users-group), by default, `nixbld`, then a member of that group not currently executing a build is selected for the build.
The build users should not be members of any other group.
There can never be more concurrent builds than the number of build users, unless using [`auto-allocate-uids`](../command-ref/conf-file.md#conf-auto-allocate-uids) ([tracking issue][auto-allocate-uids-issue]).

Alternatively, you can configure Lix in “multi-user mode”. In this
model, all users can perform package management operations — for
instance, every user can install software without requiring root
privileges. Lix ensures that this is secure. For instance, it’s not
possible for one user to overwrite a package used by another user with a
Trojan horse.

Lix does its best to ensure that this is secure.
For instance, it would be considered a serious security bug for one untrusted user to be able to overwrite a package used by another user with a Trojan horse.
Nevertheless, the Lix team does not consider multi-user mode a strong security boundary, and does not recommend running untrusted user-supplied Nix language code on privileged machines, even if it is secure to the best of our knowledge at any moment in time.
