John Ericson 60b7121d2c Make the Derived Path family of types inductive for dynamic derivations
We want to be able to write down `foo.drv^bar.drv^baz`:
`foo.drv^bar.drv` is the dynamic derivation (since it is itself a
derivation output, `bar.drv` from `foo.drv`).

To that end, we create `Single{Derivation,BuiltPath}` types, that are
very similar except instead of having multiple outputs (in a set or
map), they have a single one. This is for everything to the left of the
rightmost `^`.

`NixStringContextElem` has an analogous change, and now can reuse
`SingleDerivedPath` at the top level. In fact, if we ever get rid of
`DrvDeep`, `NixStringContextElem` could be replaced with
`SingleDerivedPath` entirely!

Important note: some JSON formats have changed.

We already can *produce* dynamic derivations, but we can't refer to them
directly. Today, we can merely express building or example at the top
imperatively over time by building `foo.drv^bar.drv`, and then with a
second nix invocation doing `<result-from-first>^baz`, but this is not
declarative. The ethos of Nix of being able to write down the full plan
everything you want to do, and then execute than plan with a single
command, and for that we need the new inductive form of these types.

Load, parse and return the Nix expression in the file *path*.
The value *path* can be a path, a string, or an attribute set with an
`__toString` attribute or a `outPath` attribute (as derivations or flake
inputs typically have).
If *path* is a directory, the file `default.nix` in that directory
is loaded.
Evaluation aborts if the file doesnt exist or contains
an incorrect Nix expression. `import` implements Nixs module
system: you can put any Nix expression (such as a set or a
function) in a separate file, and use it from Nix expressions in
other files.
> **Note**
>
> Unlike some languages, `import` is a regular function in Nix.
> Paths using the angle bracket syntax (e.g., `import` *\<foo\>*)
> are normal [path values](@docroot@/language/values.md#type-path).
A Nix expression loaded by `import` must not contain any *free
variables* (identifiers that are not defined in the Nix expression
itself and are not built-in). Therefore, it cannot refer to
variables that are in scope at the call site. For instance, if you
have a calling expression
```nix
rec {
x = 123;
y = import ./foo.nix;
}
```
then the following `foo.nix` will give an error:
```nix
x + 456
```
since `x` is not in scope in `foo.nix`. If you want `x` to be
available in `foo.nix`, you should pass it as a function argument:
```nix
rec {
x = 123;
y = import ./foo.nix x;
}
```
and
```nix
x: x + 456
```
(The function argument doesnt have to be called `x` in `foo.nix`;
any name would work.)

Look up the given path with the given search path.
A search path is represented list of [attribute sets](./values.md#attribute-set) with two attributes, `prefix`, and `path`.
`prefix` is a relative path.
`path` denotes a file system location; the exact syntax depends on the command line interface.
Examples of search path attribute sets:
- ```
{
prefix = "nixos-config";
path = "/etc/nixos/configuration.nix";
}
```
- ```
{
prefix = "";
path = "/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels";
}
```
The lookup algorithm checks each entry until a match is found, returning a [path value](@docroot@/language/values.html#type-path) of the match.
This is the process for each entry:
If the lookup path matches `prefix`, then the remainder of the lookup path (the "suffix") is searched for within the directory denoted by `patch`.
Note that the `path` may need to be downloaded at this point to look inside.
If the suffix is found inside that directory, then the entry is a match;
the combined absolute path of the directory (now downloaded if need be) and the suffix is returned.

{ path = "/bugtracker"; war = jira + "/lib/atlassian-jira.war"; }
{ path = "/wiki"; war = uberwiki + "/uberwiki.war"; }
];
})
```
The builder is supposed to generate the configuration file for a
[Jetty servlet container](http://jetty.mortbay.org/). A servlet
container contains a number of servlets (`*.war` files) each
exported under a specific URI prefix. So the servlet configuration
is a list of sets containing the `path` and `war` of the servlet
(). This kind of information is difficult to communicate with the
normal method of passing information through an environment
variable, which just concatenates everything together into a
string (which might just work in this case, but wouldnt work if
fields are optional or contain lists themselves). Instead the Nix
expression is converted to an XML representation with `toXML`,
which is unambiguous and can easily be processed with the
appropriate tools. For instance, in the example an XSLT stylesheet
(at point ) is applied to it (at point ) to generate the XML
configuration file for the Jetty server. The XML representation
produced at point by `toXML` is as follows:
```xml
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<expr>
<list>
<attrs>
<attr name="path">
<string value="/bugtracker" />
</attr>
<attr name="war">
<path value="/nix/store/d1jh9pasa7k2...-jira/lib/atlassian-jira.war" />
</attr>
</attrs>
<attrs>
<attr name="path">
<string value="/wiki" />
</attr>
<attr name="war">
<path value="/nix/store/y6423b1yi4sx...-uberwiki/uberwiki.war" />
</attr>
</attrs>
</list>
</expr>
```
Note that we used the `toFile` built-in to write the builder and
the stylesheet inline in the Nix expression. The path of the
stylesheet is spliced into the builder using the syntax `xsltproc
${stylesheet}`.

Store the string *s* in a file in the Nix store and return its

# This is some dummy configuration file.
...
";

source $stdenv/setup
...
cp ${configFile} $out/etc/foo.conf

[string interpolation](@docroot@/language/values.md#type-string), so the result of the
expression `configFile`
(i.e., a path like `/nix/store/m7p7jfny445k...-foo.conf`) will be

other, like so:
```nix

bar = builtins.toFile "bar" "...${foo}...";

This is not allowed because it would cause a cyclic dependency in
the computation of the cryptographic hashes for `foo` and `bar`.

that.

This function allows you to copy sources into the Nix store while
filtering certain files. For instance, suppose that you want to use
the directory `source-dir` as an input to a Nix expression, e.g.
```nix
stdenv.mkDerivation {
...
src = ./source-dir;
}
```
However, if `source-dir` is a Subversion working copy, then all
those annoying `.svn` subdirectories will also be copied to the
store. Worse, the contents of those directories may change a lot,
causing lots of spurious rebuilds. With `filterSource` you can
filter out the `.svn` directories:
```nix
src = builtins.filterSource
(path: type: type != "directory" || baseNameOf path != ".svn")
./source-dir;
```
Thus, the first argument *e1* must be a predicate function that is
called for each regular file, directory or symlink in the source
tree *e2*. If the function returns `true`, the file is copied to the
Nix store, otherwise it is omitted. The function is called with two
arguments. The first is the full path of the file. The second is a
string that identifies the type of the file, which is either
`"regular"`, `"directory"`, `"symlink"` or `"unknown"` (for other
kinds of files such as device nodes or fifos but note that those
cannot be copied to the Nix store, so if the predicate returns
`true` for them, the copy will fail). If you exclude a directory,
the entire corresponding subtree of *e2* will be excluded.

// I have looked for reusable and/or standard solutions and these are my
// findings:
//
// STL
// ===
// std::set_intersection is not suitable, as it only performs a simultaneous
// linear scan; not taking advantage of random access. This is O(n + m), so
// linear in the largest set, which is not acceptable for callPackage in Nixpkgs.
//
// Simultaneous scan, with alternating simple binary search
// ===
// One alternative algorithm scans the attrsets simultaneously, jumping
// forward using `lower_bound` in case of inequality. This should perform
// well on very similar sets, having a local and predictable access pattern.
// On dissimilar sets, it seems to need more comparisons than the current
// algorithm, as few consecutive attrs match. `lower_bound` could take
// advantage of the decreasing remaining search space, but this causes
// the medians to move, which can mean that they don't stay in the cache
// like they would with the current naive `find`.
//
// Double binary search
// ===
// The optimal algorithm may be "Double binary search", which doesn't
// scan at all, but rather divides both sets simultaneously.
// See "Fast Intersection Algorithms for Sorted Sequences" by Baeza-Yates et al.
// https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~ajsaling/papers/intersection_alg_app10.pdf
// The only downsides I can think of are not having a linear access pattern
// for similar sets, and having to maintain a more intricate algorithm.
//
// Adaptive
// ===
// Finally one could run try a simultaneous scan, count misses and fall back
// to double binary search when the counter hit some threshold and/or ratio.
