Eelco Dolstra fb5a792280 runPostBuildHook(): Be less chatty
Don't spam the user with "running post-build-hook" messages. It's up
to the post-build hook if it has something interesting to say.

Don't hardcode the `-O2` compiler flag

Valentin Gagarin 60045f9c96 add clickable anchor links
how the different invocations relate to each other seems be
confusing, which is relatable because one has to wire it up in your head
while reading. an explicit reference should make it unambiguous and
easier to notice due to links being highlighted.

Don't hardcode the -O2 compiler flag
autoconf authors apparently decided that setting `-O2` by default was a good idea. I disagree, and Nix has its own way of deciding that (with `OPTIMIZE={0,1}`). Explicitly set `CFLAGS` and `CXXFLAGS` in the configure script to disable that behaviour.

Fix #9965

Rename hintfmt to HintFmt 2024-02-08 11:58:25 -08:00
Rebecca Turner 149bd63afb
Cleanup fmt.hh
When I started contributing to Nix, I found the mix of definitions and
names in `fmt.hh` to be rather confusing, especially the small
difference between `hintfmt` and `hintformat`. I've renamed many classes
and added documentation to most definitions.

- `formatHelper` is no longer exported.
- `fmt`'s documentation is now with `fmt` rather than (misleadingly)
  above `formatHelper`.
- `yellowtxt` is renamed to `Magenta`.

  `yellowtxt` wraps its value with `ANSI_WARNING`, but `ANSI_WARNING`
  has been equal to `ANSI_MAGENTA` for a long time. Now the name is
  updated.
- `normaltxt` is renamed to `Uncolored`.
- `hintfmt` has been merged into `hintformat` as extra constructor
  functions.
- `hintformat` has been renamed to `hintfmt`.
- The single-argument `hintformat(std::string)` constructor has been
  renamed to a static member `hintformat::interpolate` to avoid pitfalls
  with using user-generated strings as format strings.

It's a breaking change but that's fine; we can just update Hydra to use

print-dev-env: Avoid using unbound shellHook variable
Some tools which consume the "nix print-dev-env" rc script (such as
"nix-direnv") are sensitive to the use of unbound variables. They use
"set -u".

The "nix print-dev-env" rc script initially unsets "shellHook", then
loads variables from the derivation, and then evaluates "shellHook".
However, most derivations don't have a "shellHook" attribute.

So users get the error "shellHook: unbound variable". This can be
demonstrated with the command:

    nix print-dev-env nixpkgs#hello | bash -u

This commit changes the rc script to provide an empty fallback value
for the "shellHook" variable.

Don't print values in magenta
This fixes the opening bracket of lists/attrsets being printed in
magenta, unlike the closing bracket.

Print error messages but not traces
This makes output of values that include errors much cleaner.

Before:
```
nix-repl> { err = builtins.throw "uh oh!"; }
{ err = «error:
       … while calling the 'throw' builtin
         at «string»:1:9:
            1| { err = builtins.throw "uh oh!"; }
             |         ^

       error: uh oh!»; }
```

After:
```
nix-repl> { err = builtins.throw "uh oh!"; }
{ err = «error: uh oh!»; }
```

But if the whole expression throws an error, source locations and (if
applicable) a stack trace are printed, like you'd expect:

```
nix-repl> builtins.throw "uh oh!"
error:
       … while calling the 'throw' builtin
         at «string»:1:1:
            1| builtins.throw "uh oh!"
             | ^

       error: uh oh!
```
