* Finish converting existing comments for internal API docs
99% of this was just reformatting existing comments. Only two exceptions:
- Expanded upon `BuildResult::status` compat note
- Split up file-level `symbol-table.hh` doc comments to get
per-definition docs
Also fixed a few whitespace goofs, turning leading tabs to spaces and
removing trailing spaces.
Picking up from #8133
* Fix two things from comments
* Use triple-backtick not indent for `dumpPath`
* Convert GNU-style `\`..'` quotes to markdown style in API docs
This will render correctly.
This introduces the SourcePath type from lazy-trees as an abstraction
for accessing files from inputs that may not be materialized in the
real filesystem (e.g. Git repositories). Currently, however, it's just
a wrapper around CanonPath, so it shouldn't change any behaviour. (On
lazy-trees, SourcePath is a <InputAccessor, CanonPath> tuple.)
switch statements must now match all enum values or disable the
warning.
Explicit is good. This has helped us find two bugs, after solving
another one by debugging.
From now on, adding to an enum will raise errors where they are
not explicitly handled, which is good for productivity, and helps
us decide the correct behavior in all usages.
Notably still excluded from this though are the cases where the
warning is disabled by local pragmas.
fromTOML.cc did not build despite a top-level pragma, so I've had
to resort to a makefile solution for that.
This allows having multiple separate lockfiles for a single
project, which can be useful for testing against different versions of
nixpkgs; it also allows tracking custom input overrides for remote
flakes without requiring local clones of these flakes.
For example, if I want to build Nix against my locally pinned nixpkgs,
and have a lock file tracking this override independently of future
updates to said nixpkgs:
nix flake lock --output-lock-file /tmp/nix-flake.lock --override-input nixpkgs flake:nixpkgs
nix build --reference-lock-file /tmp/nix-flake.lock

It would be incorrect to say that the `sourceInfo` has an `outPath`
that isn't the root. `sourceInfo` is about the root, whereas only
the flake may not be about the root. Thanks Eelco for pointing that
out.
We are looking for *$ because it indicate that it was constructed with a new but
not release. De-referencing shallow copy so deleting as whole might create
dangling pointer that's why we move it so we delete a empty containers + the
nice perf boost.
Nixpkgs on aarch64-linux is currently stuck on GCC 9
(https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/208412) and using gcc11Stdenv
doesn't work either.
So use c++2a instead of c++20 for now. Unfortunately this means we
can't use some C++20 features for now (like std::span).
XDG Base Directory is a standard for locations for storing various
files. Nix has a few files which seem to fit in the standard, but
currently use a custom location directly in the user's ~, polluting
it:
- ~/.nix-profile
- ~/.nix-defexpr
- ~/.nix-channels
This commit adds a config option (use-xdg-base-directories) to follow
the XDG spec and instead use the following locations:
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profile
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/defexpr
- $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/channels
If $XDG_STATE_HOME is not set, it is assumed to be ~/.local/state.

With the switch to C++20, the rules became more strict, and we can no
longer initialize base classes. Make them comments instead.
(BTW
https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2021/p2287r1.html
this offers some new syntax for this use-case. Hopefully this will be
adopted and we can eventually use it.)
Previously, getDefaultNixPath was called too early: at initialisation
time, before CLI and config have been processed, when `restrictEval` and
`pureEval` both have their default value `false`. Call it when
initialising the EvalState instead, and use `setDefault`.
Allows checking directory entry type of a single file/directory.
This was added to optimize the use of `builtins.readDir` on some
filesystems and operating systems which cannot detect this information
using POSIX's `readdir`.
Previously `builtins.readDir` would eagerly use system calls to lookup
these filetypes using other interfaces; this change makes these
operations lazy in the attribute values for each file with application
of `builtins.readFileType`.
We had some local variables left over from the older (more
complicated) implementation of this function. They should all be unused,
but one wasn't by mistake.
Delete them all, and replace the one that was still in use as intended.
