Originally, the test was only checking for different “real” storeDir.
That’s an easy case to handle, but the much harder one is if different
virtual store dirs are used. To do this, we need the SubstitutionGoal
to know about the ca, so it can recalculate the path to copy it over.
An important note here is that the store path passed to copyStorePath
needs to be one for srcStore - so that queryPathInfo works properly.
This also adds an error message when the store path from queryPathInfo
is different from the one we requested.
We can’t use custom name here because different names will have
different store paths. This is a limitation of the Store API’s
reliance on store paths.
We might be able to get around the above in the future by using a
dummy name for certain fixed output paths.
Substituters can substitute from one store dir to another with a
little bit of help. The store api just needs to have a CA so it can
recompute the store path based on the new store dir. We can only do
this for fixed output derivations with no references, though.
This function was used in only one place, where it could easily be
replaced by readDerivation() since it's not
performance-critical. (This function appears to have been modelled
after queryDerivationOutputs(), which exists only to make the garbage
collector faster.)
This combines the *.o into a big .o producing one translation unit.
This preserve our unused static initializers, as specified in the C++
standard:
If no variable or function is odr-used from a given translation
unit, the non-local variables defined in that translation unit may
never be initialized (this models the behavior of an on-demand
dynamic library).
Note that this is very similar to how the --whole-archive flag works.
One advantage of this is that users of the final .a library don’t have
to worry about specifying --whole-archive, or that we have unused
static initializers at all!
fetchTarball, fetchTree, and fetchGit all have *optional* hash attrs.
This means that we need to be careful with what we allow to avoid
accidentally making these defaults. When ‘hash = ""’ we assume the
empty hash is wanted.

This allows hash="" so that it can be used for debugging purposes. For
instance, this gives you an error message like:
warning: found empty hash, assuming you wanted 'sha256:0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000'
hash mismatch in fixed-output derivation '/nix/store/asx6qw1r1xk6iak6y6jph4n58h4hdmbm-nix':

Needed so that we can include it as a logger in loggers.cc without
adding a dependency on nix
This also requires moving names.hh to libutil to prevent a circular
dependency between libmain and libexpr
