after #6218 `Symbol` no longer confers a uniqueness invariant on the
string it wraps, it is now possible to create multiple symbols that
compare equal but whose string contents have different addresses. this
guarantee is now only provided by `SymbolIdx`, leaving `Symbol` only as
a string wrapper that knows about the intricacies of how symbols need to
be formatted for output.
this change renames `SymbolIdx` to `Symbol` to restore the previous
semantics of `Symbol` to that name. we also keep the wrapper type and
rename it to `SymbolStr` instead of returning plain strings from lookups
into the symbol table because symbols are formatted for output in many
places. theoretically we do not need `SymbolStr`, only a function that
formats a string for output as a symbol, but having to wrap every symbol
that appears in a message into eg `formatSymbol()` is error-prone and
inconvient.
The `--git-dir=` must be `.` in some cases (for cached repos that are
"bare" repos in `~/.cache/nix/gitv3`). With this fix we can add
`--git-dir` to each `git`-invokation needed for `nixos-rebuild`.
To demonstrate the problem:
* You need a `git` at 2.33.3 in your $PATH
* An expression like this in a git repository:
``` nix
{
outputs = { self, nixpkgs }: {
packages.foo.x86_64-linux = with nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux;
runCommand "snens" { } ''
echo ${(builtins.fetchGit ./.).lastModifiedDate} > $out
'';
};
}
```
Now, when instantiating the package via `builtins.getFlake`, it fails on
Nix 2.7 like this:
$ nix-instantiate -E '(builtins.getFlake "'"$(pwd)"'").packages.foo.x86_64-linux'
fatal: unsafe repository ('/nix/store/a7j3125km4h8l0p71q6ssfkxamfh5d61-source' is owned by someone else)
To add an exception for this directory, call:
git config --global --add safe.directory /nix/store/a7j3125km4h8l0p71q6ssfkxamfh5d61-source
error: program 'git' failed with exit code 128
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
This breaks e.g. `nixops`-deployments using flakes with similar
expressions as shown above.
The cause for this is that `git(1)` tries to find the highest
`.git`-directory in the directory tree and if it finds a such a
directory, but with another owning user (root vs. the user who evaluates
the expression), it fails as above. This was changed recently to fix
CVE-2022-24765[1].
By explicitly specifying `--git-dir`, Git assumes to be in the top-level
directory and doesn't attempt to look for a `.git`-directory in the
parent directories and thus the code-path leading to said error is never
reached.

The produced path is then allowed be imported or utilized elsewhere:
```
assert (43 == import (builtins.toFile "source" "43")); "good"
```
This will still fail on write-only stores.
with position and symbol tables in place we can now shrink Attr by a full
pointer with some simple field reordering. since Attr is a very hot struct this
has substantial impact on memory use, decreasing GC allocations and heap size by
10-15% each. we also get a ~15% performance improvement due to reduced GC
loading.
pure parsing has taken a hit over the branch base because positions are now
slightly more expensive to create, but overall we get a noticeable improvement.

this slightly increases the amount of memory used for any given symbol, but this
increase is more than made up for if the symbol is referenced more than once in
the EvalState that holds it. on average every symbol should be referenced at
least twice (once to introduce a binding, once to use it), so we expect no
increase in memory on average.
symbol tables are limited to 2³² entries like position tables, and similar
arguments apply to why overflow is not likely: 2³² symbols would require as many
string instances (at 24 bytes each) and map entries (at 24 bytes or more each,
assuming that the map holds on average at most one item per bucket as the docs
say). a full symbol table would require at least 192GB of memory just for
symbols, which is well out of reach. (an ofborg eval of nixpks today creates
less than a million symbols!)
PosTable deduplicates origin information, so using symbols for paths is no
longer necessary. moving away from path Symbols also reduces the usage of
symbols for things that are not keys in attribute sets, which will become
important in the future when we turn symbols into indices as well.
Pos objects are somewhat wasteful as they duplicate the origin file name and
input type for each object. on files that produce more than one Pos when parsed
this a sizeable waste of memory (one pointer per Pos). the same goes for
ptr<Pos> on 64 bit machines: parsing enough source to require 8 bytes to locate
a position would need at least 8GB of input and 64GB of expression memory. it's
not likely that we'll hit that any time soon, so we can use a uint32_t index to
locate positions instead.
when we introduce position and symbol tables we'll need to do lookups to turn
indices into those tables into actual positions/symbols. having the error
functions as members of EvalState will avoid a lot of churn for adding lookups
into the tables for each caller.
only file and line of the returned position were ever used, it wasn't actually
used a position. as such we may as well use a path+int pair for only those two
values and remove a use of Pos that would not work well with a position table.
a future commit will remove the ability to convert the symbol type used in
bindings to strings. since we only have two users we can inline the error check.
the only use of this function is to determine whether a lambda has a non-set
formal, but this use is arguably better served by Symbol::set and using a
non-Symbol instead of an empty symbol in the parser when no such formal is present.
we don't *need* symbols here. the only advantage they have over strings is
making call-counting slightly faster, but that's a diagnostic feature and thus
needn't be optimized.
this also fixes a move bug that previously didn't show up: PrimOp structs were
accessed after being moved from, which technically invalidates them. previously
the names remained valid because Symbol copies on move, but strings are
invalidated. we now copy the entire primop struct instead of moving since primop
registration happen once and are not performance-sensitive.
Without the change any CA deletion triggers linear scan on large

If the derivation `foo` depends on `bar`, and they both have the same
output path (because they are CA derivations), then this output path
will depend both on the realisation of `foo` and of `bar`, which
themselves depend on each other.
This confuses SQLite which isn’t able to automatically solve this
diamond dependency scheme.
Help it by adding a trigger to delete all the references between the
relevant realisations.
Fix#5320
Otherwise the clang builds fail because the constructor of `SQLiteBusy`
inherits it, `SQLiteError::_throw` tries to call it, which fails.
Strangely, gcc works fine with it. Not sure what the correct behavior is
and who is buggy here, but either way, making it public is at the worst
a reasonable workaround
Don’t say that the derivation is CA as it might happen on a non-ca
derivation too.
Technically we could always recover _something_ for a purely
input-addressed derivation (like we already do when the `ca-derivations`
xp feature isn’t enabled), but it seems better to consistently fail −
the end-result wouldn’t really make sense anyways in most cases.
This ensures that use-sites properly trigger new monomorphisations on
one hand, and on the other hand keeps the main `sqlite.hh` clean and
interface-only. I think that is good practice in general, but in this
situation in particular we do indeed have `sqlite.hh` users that don't
need the `throw_` function.
nix show-config --json was serializing experimental features as ints.
nlohmann::json will automatically use these definitions to serialize
and deserialize ExperimentalFeatures.
Strictly, we don't use the from_json instance yet, it's provided for
completeness and hopefully future use.

In particular, this means that 'nix eval` (which uses toValue()) no
longer auto-calls functions or functors (because
AttrCursor::findAlongAttrPath() doesn't).
Fixes#6152.
Also use ref<> in a few places, and don't return attrpaths from
getCursor() because cursors already have a getAttrPath() method.
Previously it only logged the builder's path, this changes it to log the
arguments at the same log level, and the environment variables at the
vomit level.
This helped me debug https://github.com/svanderburg/node2nix/issues/75
This was a problem when writing a fetcher that uses e.g. sha256 hashes
for revisions. This doesn't actually do anything new, but allows for
creating such fetchers in the future (perhaps when support for Git's
SHA256 object format gains more popularity).
The filter expects all paths to have a prefix of the raw `actualUrl`, but
`Store::addToStore(...)` provides absolute canonicalized paths.
To fix this create an absolute and canonicalized path from the `actualUrl` and
use it instead.
Fixes#6195.
This was caused by SubstitutionGoal not setting the errorMsg field in
its BuildResult. We now get a more descriptive message than in 2.7.0, e.g.
error: path '/nix/store/13mh...' is required, but there is no substituter that can build it
instead of the misleading (since there was no build)
error: build of '/nix/store/13mh...' failed
Fixes#6295.
Saving the cwd fd didn't actually work well -- prior to this commit, the
following would happen:
: ~/w/vc/nix ; doas outputs/out/bin/nix --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' run nixpkgs#coreutils -- --coreutils-prog=pwd
pwd: couldn't find directory entry in ‘../../../..’ with matching i-node
: ~/w/vc/nix ; doas outputs/out/bin/nix --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' develop -c pwd
pwd: couldn't find directory entry in ‘../../../..’ with matching i-node
This doesn't work very well (maybe I'm misunderstanding the desired
implementation):
: ~/w/vc/nix ; doas outputs/out/bin/nix --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' develop -c pwd
pwd: couldn't find directory entry in ‘../../../..’ with matching i-node
I regularly pass around simple scripts by using nix-shell as the script
interpreter, eg. like this:
#!/usr/bin/env nix-shell
#!nix-shell -p dd_rescue coreutils bash -i bash
While this works most of the time, I recently had one occasion where it
would not and the above would result in the following:
$ sudo ./myscript.sh
bash: ./myscript.sh: No such file or directory
Note the "sudo" here, because this error only occurs if we're root.
The reason for the latter is because running Nix as root means that we
can directly access the store, which makes sure we use a filesystem
namespace to make the store writable. XXX - REWORD!
So when stracing the process, I stumbled on the following sequence:
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/self/ns/mnt", O_RDONLY) = 3
unshare(CLONE_NEWNS) = 0
... later ...
getcwd("/the/real/cwd", 4096) = 14
setns(3, CLONE_NEWNS) = 0
getcwd("/", 4096) = 2
In the whole strace output there are no calls to chdir() whatsoever, so
I decided to look into the kernel source to see what else could change
directories and found this[1]:
/* Update the pwd and root */
set_fs_pwd(fs, &root);
set_fs_root(fs, &root);
The set_fs_pwd() call is roughly equivalent to a chdir() syscall and
this is called when the setns() syscall is invoked[2].

Impure derivations are derivations that can produce a different result
every time they're built. Example:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "impure";
__impure = true; # marks this derivation as impure
outputHashAlgo = "sha256";
outputHashMode = "recursive";
buildCommand = "date > $out";
};
Some important characteristics:
* This requires the 'impure-derivations' experimental feature.
* Impure derivations are not "cached". Thus, running "nix-build" on
the example above multiple times will cause a rebuild every time.
* They are implemented similar to CA derivations, i.e. the output is
moved to a content-addressed path in the store. The difference is
that we don't register a realisation in the Nix database.
* Pure derivations are not allowed to depend on impure derivations. In
the future fixed-output derivations will be allowed to depend on
impure derivations, thus forming an "impurity barrier" in the
dependency graph.
* When sandboxing is enabled, impure derivations can access the
network in the same way as fixed-output derivations. In relaxed
sandboxing mode, they can access the local filesystem.
The return value of BaseError::addTrace(...) is never used and
error-prone as subclasses calling it will return a BaseError instead of
the subclass.
This commit changes its return value to be void.
Rather than having four different but very similar types of hashes, make
only one, with a tag indicating whether it corresponds to a regular of
deferred derivation.
This implies a slight logical change: The original Nix+multiple-outputs
model assumed only one hash-modulo per derivation. Adding
multiple-outputs CA derivations changed this as these have one
hash-modulo per output. This change is now treating each derivation as
having one hash modulo per output.
This obviously means that we internally loose the guaranty that
all the outputs of input-addressed derivations have the same hash
modulo. But it turns out that it doesn’t matter because there’s nothing
in the code taking advantage of that fact (and it probably shouldn’t
anyways).
The upside is that it is now much easier to work with these hashes, and
we can get rid of a lot of useless `std::visit{ overloaded`.

Before this change, processLine always uses the first character
as the start of the line. This cause whitespaces to matter at the
beginning of the line whereas it does not matter anywhere else.
This commit trims leading white spaces of the string line so that
subsequent operations can be performed on the string without explicitly
tracking starting and ending indices of the string.
This avoids an infinite loop in the final test in
tests/binary-cache.sh. I think this was only not triggered previously
by accident (because we were clearing wantedOutputs in between).
LocalStore::addToStore() since
79ae9e4558 expects a regular NAR hash,
rather than a NAR hash modulo self-references. Fixes#6300.
Also, makeContentAddressed() now rewrites the entire closure (so 'nix
store make-content-addressable' no longer needs '-r'). See #6301.
This allows closures to be imported at evaluation time, without
requiring the user to configure substituters. E.g.
builtins.fetchClosure {
storePath = /nix/store/f89g6yi63m1ywfxj96whv5sxsm74w5ka-python3.9-sqlparse-0.4.2;
from = "https://cache.ngi0.nixos.org";
}
Before the change lexter errors did not report the location:
$ nix build -f. mc
error: path has a trailing slash
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
Note that it's not clear what file generates the error.
After the change location is reported:
$ src/nix/nix --extra-experimental-features nix-command build -f ~/nm mc
error: path has a trailing slash
at .../pkgs/development/libraries/glib/default.nix:54:18:
53| };
54| src = /tmp/foo/;
| ^
55|
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
Here we see both problematic file and the string itself.
1. `DerivationOutput` now as the `std::variant` as a base class. And the
variants are given hierarchical names under `DerivationOutput`.
In 8e0d0689be @matthewbauer and I
didn't know a better idiom, and so we made it a field. But this sort
of "newtype" is anoying for literals downstream.
Since then we leaned the base class, inherit the constructors trick,
e.g. used in `DerivedPath`. Switching to use that makes this more
ergonomic, and consistent.
2. `store-api.hh` and `derivations.hh` are now independent.
In bcde5456cc I swapped the dependency,
but I now know it is better to just keep on using incomplete types as
much as possible for faster compilation and good separation of
concerns.
Before the change garbage collector was not considering
`.drv` and outputs as alive even if configuration says otherwise.
As a result `nix store gc --dry-run` could visit (and parse)
`.drv` files multiple times (worst case it's quadratic).
It happens because `alive` set was populating only runtime closure
without regard for actual configuration. The change fixes it.
Benchmark: my system has about 139MB, 40K `.drv` files.
Performance before the change:
$ time nix store gc --dry-run
real 4m22,148s
Performance after the change:
$ time nix store gc --dry-run
real 0m14,178s
Don’t try and assume that we know the output paths when we’ve just built
with `--dry-run`. Instead make `--dry-run` follow a different code path
that won’t assume the knowledge of the output paths at all.
Fix#6275
The current `--out-path` flag has two disadvantages when one is only
concerned with querying the names of outputs:
- it requires evaluating every output's `outPath`, which takes
significantly more resources and runs into more failures
- it destroys the information of the order of outputs so we can't tell
which one is the main output
This patch makes the output names always present (replacing paths with
`null` in JSON if `--out-path` isn't given), and adds an `outputName`
field.
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.

This changes was taken from dynamic derivation (#4628). It` somewhat
undoes the refactors I first did for floating CA derivations, as the
benefit of hindsight + requirements of dynamic derivations made me
reconsider some things.
They aren't to consequential, but I figured they might be good to land
first, before the more profound changes @thufschmitt has in the works.
Continue progress on #5729.
Just as I hoped, this uncovered an issue: the daemon protocol is missing
a way to query build logs. This doesn't effect `unix://`, but does
effect `ssh://`. A FIXME is left for this, so we come back to it later.
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.
This function is like buildPaths(), except that it returns a vector of
BuildResults containing the exact statuses and output paths of each
derivation / substitution. This is convenient for functions like
Installable::build(), because they then don't need to do another
series of calls to get the outputs of CA derivations. It's also a
precondition to impure derivations, where we *can't* query the output
of those derivations since they're not stored in the Nix database.
Note that PathSubstitutionGoal can now also return a BuildStatus.
```console
$ nix eval --expr '({ foo ? 1 }: foo) { fob = 2; }'
error: anonymous function at (string):1:2 called with unexpected argument 'fob'
at «string»:1:1:
1| ({ foo ? 1 }: foo) { fob = 2; }
| ^
Did you mean foo?
```
Not that because Nix will first check for _missing_ arguments before
checking for extra arguments, `({ foo }: foo) { fob = 1; }` will
complain about the missing `foo` argument (rather than extra `fob`) and
so won’t display a suggestion.
Make the evaluator show some suggestions when trying to access an
invalid field from an attrset.
```console
$ nix eval --expr '{ foo = 1; }.foa'
error: attribute 'foa' missing
at «string»:1:1:
1| { foo = 1; }.foa
| ^
Did you mean foo?
```
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.
Refactor the `size == 0` logic into a new helper function that
replaces dupStringWithLen.
The name had to change, because unlike a `dup`-function, it does
not always allocate a new string.
Allows completing `nix build ~/flake#<Tab>`.
We can implement expansion for `~user` later if needed.
Not using wordexp(3) since that expands way too much.
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.
Setting the `_NIX_FORCE_HTTP` environment variable is supposed to force `file://` store urls to use the `HttpBinaryCacheStore` implementation rather than the `LocalBinaryCacheStore` one (very useful for testing).
However because of a name mismatch, the `LocalBinaryCacheStore` was still registering the `file` scheme when this variable was set, meaning that the actual store implementation picked up on `file://` uris was dependent on the registration order of the stores (itself dependent on the link order of the object files).
Fix this by making the `LocalBinaryCacheStore` gracefully not register the `file` uri scheme when the variable is set.
We now memoize on Bindings / list element vectors rather than Values,
so that e.g. two Values that point to the same Bindings will be
printed only once.
This is useful whenever we want to evaluate something to a store path
(e.g. in get-drvs.cc).
Extracted from the lazy-trees branch (where we can require that a
store path must come from a store source tree accessor).
This was introduced in #6174. However fetch{url,Tarball} are legacy
and we shouldn't have an undocumented attribute that does the same
thing as one that already exists ('sha256').
Starting work on #5638
The exact boundary between `FetchSettings` and `EvalSettings` is not
clear to me, but that's fine. First lets clean out `libstore`, and then
worry about what, if anything, should be the separation between those
two.
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.
Right now when building a derivation remotely via
$ nix build -j0 -f . hello -L --builders 'ssh://builder'
it's possible later to read through the entire build-log by running
`nix log -f . hello`. This isn't possible however when using `ssh-ng`
rather than `ssh`.
The reason for that is that there are two different ways to transfer
logs in Nix through e.g. an SSH tunnel (that are used by `ssh`/`ssh-ng`
respectively):
* `ssh://` receives its logs from the fd pointing to `builderOut`. This
is directly passed to the "log-sink" (and to the logger on each `\n`),
hence `nix log` works here.
* `ssh-ng://` however expects JSON-like messages (i.e. `@nix {log data
in here}`) and passes it directly to the logger without doing anything
with the `logSink`. However it's certainly possible to extract
log-lines from this format as these have their own message-type in the
JSON payload (i.e. `resBuildLogLine`).
This is basically what I changed in this patch: if the code-path for
`builderOut` is not reached and a `logSink` is initialized, the
message was successfully processed by the JSON logger (i.e. it's in
the expected format) and the line is of the expected type (i.e.
`resBuildLogLine`), the line will be written to the log-sink as well.
Closes#5079
diff-index operates on the view that git has of the working tree,
which might be outdated. The higher-level diff command does this
automatically. This change also adds handling for submodules.
fixes#4140
Alternative fixes would be invoking update-index before diff-index or
matching more closely what require_clean_work_tree from git-sh-setup.sh
does, but both those options make it more difficult to reason about
correctness.
The .git/refs/heads directory might be empty for a valid
usable git repository. This often happens in CI environments,
which might only fetch commits, not branches.
Therefore instead we let git itself check if HEAD points to
something that looks like a commit.
