Make the evaluator show some suggestions when trying to access an
invalid field from an attrset.
```console
$ nix eval --expr '{ foo = 1; }.foa'
error: attribute 'foa' missing
at «string»:1:1:
1| { foo = 1; }.foa
| ^
Did you mean foo?
```
No real need for keeping a separate header for such a simple class.
This requires changing a bit `OrSuggestions<T>::operator*` to not throw
an `Error` to prevent a cyclic dependency. But since this error is only
thrown on programmer error, we can replace the whole method by a direct
call to `std::get` which will raise its own assertion if needs be.
Refactor the `size == 0` logic into a new helper function that
replaces dupStringWithLen.
The name had to change, because unlike a `dup`-function, it does
not always allocate a new string.
Allows completing `nix build ~/flake#<Tab>`.
We can implement expansion for `~user` later if needed.
Not using wordexp(3) since that expands way too much.
Starts progress on #5729.
The idea is that we should not have these default methods throwing
"unimplemented". This is a small step in that direction.
I kept `addTempRoot` because it is a no-op, rather than failure. Also,
as a practical matter, it is called all over the place, while doing
other tasks, so the downcasting would be annoying.
Maybe in the future I could move the "real" `addTempRoot` to `GcStore`,
and the existing usecases use a `tryAddTempRoot` wrapper to downcast or
do nothing, but I wasn't sure whether that was a good idea so with a
bias to less churn I didn't do it yet.
We now memoize on Bindings / list element vectors rather than Values,
so that e.g. two Values that point to the same Bindings will be
printed only once.
This is useful whenever we want to evaluate something to a store path
(e.g. in get-drvs.cc).
Extracted from the lazy-trees branch (where we can require that a
store path must come from a store source tree accessor).
Fixes
nix-daemon: src/libstore/sqlite.cc:97: nix::SQLiteStmt::Use::Use(nix::SQLiteStmt&): Assertion `stmt.stmt' failed.
which happens because the daemon doesn't properly handle the case
where ca-derivations isn't enabled at daemon startup.
