clangd seems to break if GCC is using precompiled headers for C++'s
standard library, so this sets -Denable-pch-std=${stdenv.cc.isClang}
Fixes#374.

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.

If a nested nix-shell is run inside a nix-shell, then the outer shell's
shellHook will be passed through and run again, unless the nested shell
defines its own.
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.

Embarrassingly, I submitted a CL overriding submit requirements since
I thought it was spurious failures. However, the CI failure was in fact
real, and I have hopefully learned my lesson. The CI failure is that:
```

This is definitely caused by the pname not being the same, so we had
better revert that part of the change until we know we won't regress

This breaks downstreams linking to us on purpose to make sure that if
someone is linking to Lix they're doing it on purpose and crucially not
mixing up Nix and Lix versions in compatibility code.
We still need to fix the internal includes to follow the same schema so
we can drop the single-level include system entirely. However, this
requires a little more effort.
This adds pkg-config for libfetchers and config.h.
Migration path:
expr.hh -> lix/libexpr/expr.hh
nix/config.h -> lix/config.h
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
clang-tidy automated fix will work.
Then run the following for out of tree projects:
```
lix_root=$HOME/lix

Surely if you have unreleased changes you want them on a page right?
`officialRelease` means "this is a *release version*", which is a
reasonable case to not want it, but we are not that here.
I understand wanting to be able to turn it off for deps reasons or
something, but other than that, uhh, seems better to just turn it on
always; it is basically free compute-wise to the point we run it on

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.

This has the following downsides:
* you cannot build Lix against nixos-unstable.
* this will immediately break as soon as libseccomp will hit
nixos-23.11 (given that people will probably use the package.nix via
our overlay or override nixpkgs via `follows`).
Hence, removing the assert again and add a better FIXME comment.

With Linux kernel >=6.6 & glibc 2.39 a `fchmodat2(2)` is available that
isn't filtered away by the libseccomp sandbox.
Being able to use this to bypass that restriction has surprising results
for some builds such as lxc[1]:
> With kernel ≥6.6 and glibc 2.39, lxc's install phase uses fchmodat2,
> which slips through 9b88e52846/src/libstore/build/local-derivation-goal.cc (L1650-L1663).
> The fixupPhase then uses fchmodat, which fails.
> With older kernel or glibc, setting the suid bit fails in the
> install phase, which is not treated as fatal, and then the
> fixup phase does not try to set it again.
Please note that there are still ways to bypass this sandbox[2] and this is
mostly a fix for the breaking builds.
This change works by creating a syscall filter for the `fchmodat2`
syscall (number 452 on most systems). The problem is that glibc 2.39
is needed to have the correct syscall number available via
`__NR_fchmodat2` / `__SNR_fchmodat2`, but this flake is still on
nixpkgs 23.11. To have this change everywhere and not dependent on the
glibc this package is built against, I added a header
"fchmodat2-compat.hh" that sets the syscall number based on the
architecture. On most platforms its 452 according to glibc with a few
exceptions:
$ rg --pcre2 'define __NR_fchmodat2 (?!452)'
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/x32/arch-syscall.h
58:#define __NR_fchmodat2 1073742276
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/n32/arch-syscall.h
67:#define __NR_fchmodat2 6452
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/n64/arch-syscall.h
62:#define __NR_fchmodat2 5452
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips32/arch-syscall.h
70:#define __NR_fchmodat2 4452
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/arch-syscall.h
59:#define __NR_fchmodat2 562
I added a small regression-test to the setuid integration-test that
attempts to set the suid bit on a file using the fchmodat2 syscall.
I confirmed that the test fails without the change in
local-derivation-goal.
Additionally, we require libseccomp 2.5.5 or greater now: as it turns
out, libseccomp maintains an internal syscall table and
validates each rule against it. This means that when using libseccomp
2.5.4 or older, one may pass `452` as syscall number against it, but
since it doesn't exist in the internal structure, `libseccomp` will refuse
to create a filter for that. This happens with nixpkgs-23.11, i.e. on
stable NixOS and when building Lix against the project's flake.
To work around that
* a backport of libseccomp 2.5.5 on upstream nixpkgs has been
scheduled[3].
* the package now uses libseccomp 2.5.5 on its own already. This is to
provide a quick fix since the correct fix for 23.11 is still a staging cycle
away.
We still need the compat header though since `SCMP_SYS(fchmodat2)`
internally transforms this into `__SNR_fchmodat2` which points to
`__NR_fchmodat2` from glibc 2.39, so it wouldn't build on glibc 2.38.
The updated syscall table from libseccomp 2.5.5 is NOT used for that
step, but used later, so we need both, our compat header and their
syscall table 🤷

This commit makes Meson the default buildsystem for Lix.
The Make buildsystem is now deprecated and will be removed soon, but has
not yet, which will be done in a later commit when all seems good. The
mesonBuild jobs have been removed, and have not been replaced with
equivalent jobs to ensure the Make buildsystem still works.
The full, new commands in a development shell are:
$ meson setup ./build "--prefix=$out" $mesonFlags
(A simple `meson setup ./build` will also build, but will do a different
thing, not having the settings from package.nix applied.)
$ meson compile -C build
$ meson test -C build --suite=check
$ meson install -C build
$ meson test -C build --suite=installcheck
(Check and installcheck may both be done after install, allowing you to
omit the --suite argument entirely, but this is the order package.nix
runs them in.)
If tests fail and Meson helpfully has no output for why, use the
`--print-error-logs` option to `meson test`. Why this is not the default
I cannot explain.
If you change a setting in the buildsystem, most cases will
automatically regenerate the Meson configuration, but some cases, like
trying to build a specific target whose name is new to the buildsystem
(e.g. `meson compile -C build src/libmelt/libmelt.dylib`, when
`libmelt.dylib` did not exist as a target the last time the buildsystem
was generated), then you can reconfigure using new settings but
existing options, and only recompiling stuff affected by the changes:
$ meson setup --reconfigure build
Note that changes to the default values in `meson.options` or in the
`default_options :` argument to project() are NOT propagated with
`--reconfigure`.
If you want a totally clean build, you can use:
$ meson setup --wipe build
That will work regardless of if `./build` exists or not.
Specific, named targets may be addressed in
`meson build -C build <target>` with the "target ID" if there is one,
which is the first string argument passed to target functions that
have one, and unrelated to the variable name, e.g.:
libexpr_dylib = library('nixexpr', …)
can be addressed with:
$ meson compile -C build nixexpr
All targets may be addressed as their output, relative to the build
directory, e.g.:
$ meson compile -C build src/libexpr/libnixexpr.so
But Meson does not consider intermediate files like object files
targets. To build a specific object file, use Ninja directly and
specify the output file relative to the build directory:
$ ninja -C build src/libexpr/libnixexpr.so.p/nixexpr.cc.o
To inspect the canonical source of truth on what the state of the
buildsystem configuration is, use:
$ meson introspect
Have fun!

This should fix cross compilation in the base case, but this is
difficult to test as cross compilation is broken in many different
places right now. This should bring Meson back up to cross parity with
the Make buildsystem though.

This commit adds the capability for building the Doxygen internal API

hydraJobs.internal-api-docs before and after this commit were

package.nix previously needed this callPackage'd externally, which
didn't make a lot of sense to us since this is an internal dependency.

The following command is now sufficient to build Lix from outside of the
flake:
nix-build -E 'let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { }; in pkgs.callPackage
./package.nix { build-release-notes = false; nix-doc = pkgs.callPackage
./nix-doc/package.nix { }; }'

In our view it really doesn't make sense to not have this in in
package.nix in some way. These patches aren't just for performance or
something -- Lix flat out doesn't build without these patches.
(Arguably that makes them a buildsystem responsibility as well, but that
can wait for when we're ready to start adding subproject fallback
dependency resolution to Meson.)
This is a step towards making `package.nix` more self-sufficient and
`callPackage`able without excessive external logic.
With this change the following command is enough to build Lix from out
of the flake:
nix-build -E 'let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { }; in pkgs.callPackage
./package.nix { build-release-notes = false; inherit (pkgs.lib) fileset;
nix-doc = pkgs.callPackage ./nix-doc/package.nix { }; }'

on Nix functions themselves for documentation. This exposes that
information to `nix repl` users in a nice and formatted way.

Functional tests can be run with
`meson test -C build --suite installcheck`.
Notably, functional tests must be run *after* running `meson install`
(Lix's derivation runs the installcheck suite in installCheckPhase so it
does this correctly), due to some quirks between Meson and the testing
system.
As far as I can tell the functional tests are meant to be run after
installing anyway, but unfortunately I can't transparently make
`meson test --suite installcheck` depend on the install targets.
The script that runs the functional tests, meson/run-test.py, checks
that `meson install` has happened and fails fast with a (hopefully)
helpful error message if any of the functional tests are run before
installing.
