Noticed because of a warning during an rpm build:
*** WARNING: ./usr/src/debug/nix-2.18.1-1.fc40.x86_64/src/nix-copy-closure/nix-copy-closure.cc is executable but has no shebang, removing executable bit
*** WARNING: ./usr/src/debug/nix-2.18.1-1.fc40.x86_64/src/nix-channel/nix-channel.cc is executable but has no shebang, removing executable bit
I wouldn't call it *good* yet, but this will do for now.
- `RetrieveRegularNARSink` renamed to `RegularFileSink` and moved
accordingly because it actually has nothing to do with NARs in
particular.
- its `fd` field is also marked private
- `copyRecursive` introduced to dump a `SourceAccessor` into a
`ParseSink`.
- `NullParseSink` made so `ParseSink` no longer has sketchy default
methods.
This was done while updating #8918 to work with the new
`SourceAccessor`.
Adding the inputPath as a positional feature uncovered this bug.
As positional argument forms were discarded from the `expectedArgs`
list, their closures were not. When the `.completer` closure was then
called, part of the surrounding object did not exist anymore.
This didn't cause an issue before, but with the new call to
`getEvalState()` in the "inputs" completer in nix/flake.cc, a segfault
was triggered reproducibly on invalid memory access to the `this`
pointer, which was always 0.
The solution of splicing the argument forms into a new list to extend
their lifetime is a bit of a hack, but I was unable to get the "nicer"
iterator-based solution to work.
We now have `schemeName` and `allowedAttrs` functions for this purpose.
We look up the schema with the former; we restrict the set of input
attributes with the latter.
The brings a number of advantages, including:
- Easier to update test data if design changes (and I do think our
derivation JSON is not yet complaint with the guidelines).
- Easier to reuse test data in other implementations, inching closer to
compliance tests for Nix *the concept* rather than any one
implementation.
Before the change builder ID exhaustion printed the following message:
[0/1 built] waiting for UID to build '/nix/store/hiy9136x0iyib4ssh3w3r5m8pxjnad50-python3.11-breathe-4.35.0.drv'
After the change it should be:
[0/1 built] waiting for a free build user ID for '/nix/store/hiy9136x0iyib4ssh3w3r5m8pxjnad50-python3.11-breathe-4.35.0.drv'
Committing a lock file using markFileChanged() required the input to
be writable by the caller in the local filesystem (using the path
returned by getSourcePath()). putFile() abstracts over this.
