When importing e.g. a local `nixpkgs` in a flake to test a change like
{
inputs.nixpkgs.url = path:/home/ma27/Projects/nixpkgs;
outputs = /* ... */
}
then the input is missing a `lastModified`-field that's e.g. used in
`nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem`. Due to the missing `lastMoified`-field, the
mtime is set to 19700101:
result -> /nix/store/b7dg1lmmsill2rsgyv2w7b6cnmixkvc1-nixos-system-nixos-22.05.19700101.dirty
With this change, the `path`-fetcher now sets a `lastModified` attribute
to the `mtime` just like it's the case in the `tarball`-fetcher already.
When building NixOS systems with `nixpkgs` being a `path`-input and this
patch, the output-path now looks like this:
result -> /nix/store/ld2qf9c1s98dxmiwcaq5vn9k5ylzrm1s-nixos-system-nixos-22.05.20220217.dirty
Before the change on a system with `auto-optimise-store = true`:
$ nix store gc --verbose --max 1
deleted all the paths instead of one path (we requested 1 byte limit).
It happens because every file in `auto-optimise-store = true` has at
least 2 links: file itself and a link in /nix/store/.links/ directory.
The change conservatively assumes that any file that has one (as before)
or two links (assume auto-potimise mode) will free space.

no need for function<> with c++17 deduction. this saves allocations and virtual
calls, but has the same semantics otherwise. not going through function has the
side effect of giving compilers more insight into the cleanup code, so we need a
few local warning disables.
reduces peak hep memory use on eval of our test system from 264.4MB to 242.3MB,
possibly also a slight performance boost.
theoretically memory use could be cut down by another eight bytes per Pos on
average by turning it into a tuple containing an index into a global base
position table with row and column offsets, but that doesn't seem worth the
effort at this point.
No real need for keeping a separate header for such a simple class.
This requires changing a bit `OrSuggestions<T>::operator*` to not throw
an `Error` to prevent a cyclic dependency. But since this error is only
thrown on programmer error, we can replace the whole method by a direct
call to `std::get` which will raise its own assertion if needs be.
Starts progress on #5729.
The idea is that we should not have these default methods throwing
"unimplemented". This is a small step in that direction.
I kept `addTempRoot` because it is a no-op, rather than failure. Also,
as a practical matter, it is called all over the place, while doing
other tasks, so the downcasting would be annoying.
Maybe in the future I could move the "real" `addTempRoot` to `GcStore`,
and the existing usecases use a `tryAddTempRoot` wrapper to downcast or
do nothing, but I wasn't sure whether that was a good idea so with a
bias to less churn I didn't do it yet.
To avoid that JSON messages are parsed twice in case of
remote builds with `ssh-ng://`, I split up the original
`handleJSONLogMessage` into three parts:
* `parseJSONMessage(const std::string&)` checks if it's a message in the
form of `@nix {...}` and tries to parse it (and prints an error if the
parsing fails).
* `handleJSONLogMessage(nlohmann::json&, ...)` reads the fields from the
message and passes them to the logger.
* `handleJSONLogMessage(const std::string&, ...)` behaves as before, but
uses the two functions mentioned above as implementation.
In case of `ssh-ng://`-logs the first two methods are invoked manually.
This changes the representation of the interrupt callback list to
be safe to use during interrupt handling.
Holding a lock while executing arbitrary functions is something to
avoid in general, because of the risk of deadlock.
Such a deadlock occurs in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/3294
where ~CurlDownloader tries to deregister its interrupt callback.
This happens during what seems to be a triggerInterrupt() by the
daemon connection's MonitorFdHup thread. This bit I can not confirm
based on the stack trace though; it's based on reading the code,
so no absolute certainty, but a smoking gun nonetheless.
we'll retain the old coerceToString interface that returns a string, but callers
that don't need the returned value to outlive the Value it came from can save
copies by using the new interface instead. for values that weren't stringy we'll
pass a new buffer argument that'll be used for storage and shouldn't be
inspected.
when given a string yacc will copy the entire input to a newly allocated
location so that it can add a second terminating NUL byte. since the
parser is a very internal thing to EvalState we can ensure that having
two terminating NUL bytes is always possible without copying, and have
the parser itself merely check that the expected NULs are present.
