build: enable libstdc++ assertions Benchmarks say that it does not regress performance by more than 1% (which is where it gets really hard to measure accurately anyhow). Meson appears to be planning to do this for us without asking us in a release we will get in the future, and it seems good enough to ship today: https://mesonbuild.com/Release-notes-for-1-4-0.html#ndebug-setting-now-controls-c-stdlib-assertions Benchmarks: | Command | Mean [ms] | Min [ms] | Max [ms] | Relative | |:---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | `result-asserts/bin/nix --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' eval -f ../nixpkgs/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix` | 418.4 ± 25.0 | 396.9 | 451.2 | 1.01 ± 0.08 | | `result/bin/nix --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' eval -f ../nixpkgs/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix` | 416.1 ± 23.9 | 397.1 | 445.4 | 1.00 | | Command | Mean [s] | Min [s] | Max [s] | Relative | |:---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | `GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE=10g result-asserts/bin/nix eval --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system'` | 4.147 ± 0.021 | 4.123 | 4.195 | 1.00 | | `GC_INITIAL_HEAP_SIZE=10g result/bin/nix eval --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system'` | 4.149 ± 0.027 | 4.126 | 4.215 | 1.00 ± 0.01 | | Command | Mean [s] | Min [s] | Max [s] | Relative | |:---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | `result-asserts/bin/nix --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system'` | 5.838 ± 0.023 | 5.799 | 5.867 | 1.01 ± 0.01 | | `result/bin/nix --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system'` | 5.788 ± 0.044 | 5.715 | 5.876 | 1.00 | | Command | Mean [s] | Min [s] | Max [s] | Relative | |:---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | `result-asserts/bin/nix --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' search --no-eval-cache github:nixos/nixpkgs/e1fa12d4f6c6fe19ccb59cac54b5b3f25e160870 hello` | 15.993 ± 0.081 | 15.829 | 16.096 | 1.01 ± 0.01 | | `result/bin/nix --extra-experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' search --no-eval-cache github:nixos/nixpkgs/e1fa12d4f6c6fe19ccb59cac54b5b3f25e160870 hello` | 15.897 ± 0.075 | 15.807 | 16.047 | 1.00 | Fixes: https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/4 Change-Id: Id3a6f38274ba94d5d10b09edd19dfd96bc3e7d5f

synopsis: Lix turns more internal bugs into crashes
cls: [797, 626]
doc: add release note credits and categories for all the changes in Lix This does not add missing release notes, and it doesn't do anything about the profiles feature we would really like to have so we can have consistent credit. Change-Id: I72a6f7acfcff85f380be17dac76501a6f4693776

Lix now enables build options such as trapping on signed overflow and enabling
libstdc++ assertions by default. These may find new bugs in Lix, which will
present themselves as Lix processes aborting, potentially without an error
message.
If Lix processes abort on your machine, this is a bug. Please file a bug,
ideally with the core dump (or information from it).
On Linux, run `coredumpctl list`, find the crashed process's PID at
the bottom of the list, then run `coredumpctl info THE-PID`. You can then paste
the output into a bug report.
On macOS, open the Console app from Applications/Utilities, select Crash
Reports, select the crash report in question. Right click on it, select Open In
Finder, then include that file in your bug report. [See the Apple
documentation][apple-crashreport] for more details.
