copyStorePath() now pipes the output of srcStore->narFromPath()
directly into dstStore->addToStore(). The sink used by the former is
converted into a source usable by the latter using
boost::coroutine2. This is based on [1].
This reduces the maximum resident size of
$ nix build --store ~/my-nix/ /nix/store/b0zlxla7dmy1iwc3g459rjznx59797xy-binutils-2.28.1 --substituters file:///tmp/binary-cache-xz/ --no-require-sigs
from 418592 KiB to 53416 KiB. (The previous commit also reduced the
runtime from ~4.2s to ~3.4s, not sure why.) A further improvement will
be to download files into a Sink.

Issue #1969.
It was holding on to a Value* (i.e. a std::shared_ptr<ValidPathInfo>*)
outside of the pathInfoCache lock, so the std::shared_ptr could be
destroyed between the release of the lock and the decrement of the
std::shared_ptr refcount. This can happen if more than
'path-info-cache-size' paths are added in the meantime, *or* if
clearPathInfoCache() is called. The hydra-queue-runner queue monitor
thread periodically calls the later, so is likely to trigger a crash.
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/issues/542.
Doing so prevents emacs tags from working, as well as makes the code extremely
confusing for a newbie.
In the prior state, if someone wants to find the definition of "ExprApp" for
example, a grep through the code reveals nothing. Since the definition could be
hiding in numerous ".h" files, it's really difficult to find. This personally
took me several hours to figure out.
This can be iterated on and currently leaves out settings we know we
want to forward, but it fixes#1713 and fixes#1935 and isn't
fundamentally broken like the status quo. Future changes are suggested
in a comment.
Flex's regexes have an annoying feature: the dot matches everything
except a newline. This causes problems for expressions like:
"${0}\
"
where the backslash-newline combination matches this rule instead of the
intended one mentioned in the comment:
<STRING>\$|\\|\$\\ {
/* This can only occur when we reach EOF, otherwise the above
(...|\$[^\{\"\\]|\\.|\$\\.)+ would have triggered.
This is technically invalid, but we leave the problem to the
parser who fails with exact location. */
return STR;
}
However, the parser actually accepts the resulting token sequence
('"' DOLLAR_CURLY 0 '}' STR '"'), which is a problem because the lexer
rule didn't assign anything to yylval. Ultimately this leads to a crash
when dereferencing a NULL pointer in ExprConcatStrings::bindVars().
The fix does change the syntax of the language in some corner cases
but I think it's only turning previously invalid (or crashing) syntax
to valid syntax. E.g.
"a\
b"
and
''a''\
b''
were previously syntax errors but now both result in "a\nb".

This allows building armv[67]l-linux derivations on compatible aarch64
machines. Failure to add the architecture may result from missing
hardware support, in which case we can't run 32-bit binaries and don't
need to restrict them with seccomp anyway,
This allows specifying additional systems that a machine is able to
build for. This may apply on some armv7-capable aarch64 processors, or
on systems using qemu-user with binfmt-misc to support transparent
execution of foreign-arch programs.
This removes the previous hard-coded assumptions about which systems are
ABI-compatible with which other systems, and instead relies on the user
to specify any additional platforms that they have ensured compatibility
for and wish to build for locally.
NixOS should probably add i686-linux on x86_64-linux systems for this
setting by default.
