Fixes:
- Identifiers starting with _ are prohibited
- Some driveby header dependency cleaning which wound up with doing some
extra fixups.
- Fucking C style casts, man. C++ made these 1000% worse by letting you
also do memory corruption with them with references.
- Remove casts to Expr * where ExprBlackHole is an incomplete type by
introducing an explicitly-cast eBlackHoleAddr as Expr *.
- An incredibly illegal cast of the text bytes of the StorePath hash
into a size_t directly. You can't DO THAT.
Replaced with actually parsing the hash so we get 100% of the bits
being entropy, then memcpying the start of the hash. If this shows
up in a profile we should just make the hash parser faster with a
lookup table or something sensible like that.
- This horrendous bit of UB which I thankfully slapped a deprecation
warning on, built, and it didn't trigger anywhere so it was dead
code and I just deleted it. But holy crap you *cannot* do that.
inline void mkString(const Symbol & s)
{
mkString(((const std::string &) s).c_str());
}
- Some wrong lints. Lots of wrong macro lints, one wrong
suspicious-sizeof lint triggered by the template being instantiated
with only pointers, but the calculation being correct for both
pointers and not-pointers.
- Exceptions in destructors strike again. I tried to catch the
exceptions that might actually happen rather than all the exceptions
imaginable. We can let the runtime hard-kill it on other exceptions
imo.

This avoids C++'s standard library regexes, which aren't the same
across platforms, and have many other issues, like using stack
so much that they stack overflow when processing a lot of data.
To avoid backwards and forward compatibility issues, regexes are
processed using a function converting libstdc++ regexes into Boost
regexes, escaping characters that Boost needs to have escaped, and
rejecting features that Boost has and libstdc++ doesn't.
Related context:
- Original failed attempt to use `boost::regex` in CppNix, failed due to
boost icu dependency being large (disabling ICU is no longer necessary
because linking ICU requires using a different header file,
`boost/regex/icu.hpp`): https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/3826
- An attempt to use PCRE, rejected due to providing less backwards
compatibility with `std::regex` than `boost::regex`:
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/7336
- Second attempt to use `boost::regex`, failed due to `}` regex failing
to compile (dealt with by writing a wrapper that parses a regular
expression and escapes `}` characters):

nixpkgs delivered us the untimely gift of a meson 1.5 upgrade, which
*does* make our lives easier by allowing us to delete wrap generation
code, but it does so at the cost of renaming all rust crates in such a
way that the wrap logic cannot tolerate the new names on the old meson
version 😭.
It also means that support burden for this is going to be atrocious
until we either give in and vendor meson 1.5 or we make a CI target for
it. Neither seems appealing, though the latter is not super absurd for
ensuring we don't break nixpkgs unstable.
This commit causes meson 1.5 to ignore the .wrap files in subprojects/
entirely (since they have the wrong names lol) and instead use
Cargo.lock, so it now hard-depends on our workspace reshuffling
improvement.
It also deletes the hack that we were using to get the sources of Cargo
deps into meson by using a feature that went unnoticed when this code
was originally written: MESON_PACKAGE_CACHE_DIR:

I managed to trigger the issue by having the following inputs (shortened):
authentik-nix.url = "github:nix-community/authentik-nix";
authentik-nix.inputs.poetry2nix.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
When evaluating this using
nix-eval-jobs --flake .#hydraJobs
I got the following error:
error: cannot update unlocked flake input 'authentik-nix/poetry2nix' in pure mode
The issue we have here is that `authentik-nix/poetry2nix` was written
into the `overrideMap` which caused Nix to assume it's a new input and
tried to refetch it (#460) or errored out in pure mode
(nix-eval-jobs / Hydra).
The testcase unfortunately only involves checking for the output log
and makes sure that something *is* logged on the first fetch so that
the test doesn't rot when the logging changes since I didn't
manage to trigger the error above with the reproducer from #460. In
fact, I only managed to trigger the `cannot update unlocked flake input`
error in this context with `nix-eval-jobs`.

I don't like having so many reinterpret_cast statements that have to
actually be looked at to determine if they are UB. A huge number of the
reinterpret_cast instances in Lix are actually casting to some pointer
of some character type, which is always valid no matter the source type.
However, it is also worth looking at if it is not casting both *from* a
character type and also *to* a character type, since IMO splatting a
struct into a character array should be a very deliberate action instead
of just being about dealing with bad APIs.
So let's write a template that encapsulates this invariant so we can
not worry about the trivially safe reinterpret_cast invocations.

Currently, the parser relies on the global experimental feature flags.
In order to properly test conditional language features, we instead need
to pass it around in the parser::State.
This means that the parser cannot cache the result of isEnabled anymore,
which wouldn't necessarily hurt performance if the function didn't
perform a linear search on the list of enabled features on every single
call. While we could simply evaluate once at the start of parsing and
cache the result in the parser state, the more sustainable solution
would be to fix `isEnabled` such that all callers may profit from the
performance improvement.

The growth of the seccomp filter in 127ee1a101
made its compilation time significant (roughly 10 milliseconds have been
measured on one machine). For this reason, it is now precompiled and cached in
the parent process so that this overhead is not hit for every single build. It
is still not optimal when going through the daemon, because compilation still
happens once per client, but it's better than before and doing it only once for
the entire daemon requires excessive crimes with the current architecture.

The principle of this is that you can either externally build it with
Nix (actual implementation will be in a future commit), or it can be
built with meson if the Nix one is not passed in.
The idea I have is that dev shells don't receive the one from Nix to
avoid having to build it, but CI can use the one from Nix and save some
gratuitous rebuilds.
The design of this is that you can run `ninja -C build clang-tidy` and
it will simply correctly clang-tidy the codebase in spite of PCH
bullshit caused by the cc-wrapper.
This is a truly horrendous number of hacks in a ball, caused by bugs in
several pieces of software, and I am not even getting started.
I don't consider this to fix the clang-tidy issue filing, since we still
have a fair number of issues to fix even on the existing minimal
configuration, and I have not yet implemented it in CI. Realistically we
will need to do something like https://github.com/Ericsson/codechecker
to be able to silence warnings without physically touching the code, or
at least *diff* reports between versions.
Also, the run-clang-tidy output design is rather atrocious and must
not be inflicted upon anyone I have respect for, since it buries the
diagnostics in a pile of invocation logs. We would do really well to
integrate with the Gerrit SARIF stuff so we can dump the reports on
people in a user-friendly manner.

this begins a long and arduous journey to remove all result state from
Goal, to eventually drop the std::enable_shared_from_this base, and to
completely eliminate all unsynchronized modification of states of both
Goal and Worker. by the end of this we will hopefully be able to start
and reap multiple derivation builds in parallel, which should speed up
the process quite a bit (at least for short local builds, others might
not notice a large difference. the build hooks will remain a problem.)

In the SSH code, the logger was conditionally paused, but unconditionally
resumed. This was fine as long as resuming the logger was idempotent. Starting
with 0dd1d8ca1c, it isn't any more, and the
behaviour of the code in question was missed. Consequently, an assertion
failure is triggered for example when performing builds against an "SSH" store
on localhost. Fix the issue by only resuming the logger when it has actually
been paused.

The original attempt at this introduced a regression; this commit
reverts the revert and fixes the regression.
This reverts commit 3e151d4d77.
Fix to the regression:
flakeref: fix handling of `?dir=` param for flakes in subdirs
As reported in #419[1], accessing a flake in a subdir of a Git
repository fails with the previous commit[2] applied with the error
error: unsupported Git input attribute 'dir'
The problem is that the `dir`-param is inserted into the parsed URL if a
flake is fetched from the subdir of a Git repository. However, for the
fetching part this isn't even needed. The fix is to just pass `subdir`
as second argument to `FlakeRef` (which needs a `basedir` that can be
empty) and leave the parsedURL as-is.
Added a regression test to make sure we don't run into this again.

Previously, system call filtering (to prevent builders from storing files with
setuid/setgid permission bits or extended attributes) was performed using a
blocklist. While this looks simple at first, it actually carries significant
security and maintainability risks: after all, the kernel may add new syscalls
to achieve the same functionality one is trying to block, and it can even be
hard to actually add the syscall to the blocklist when building against a C
library that doesn't know about it yet. For a recent demonstration of this
happening in practice to Nix, see the introduction of fchmodat2 [0] [1].
The allowlist approach does not share the same drawback. While it does require
a rather large list of harmless syscalls to be maintained in the codebase,
failing to update this list (and roll out the update to all users) in time has
rather benign effects; at worst, very recent programs that already rely on new
syscalls will fail with an error the same way they would on a slightly older
kernel that doesn't support them yet. Most importantly, no unintended new ways
of performing dangerous operations will be silently allowed.
Another possible drawback is reduced system call performance due to the larger
filter created by the allowlist requiring more computation [2]. However, this
issue has not convincingly been demonstrated yet in practice, for example in
systemd or various browsers. To the contrary, it has been measured that the the
actual filter constructed here has approximately the same overhead as a very
simple filter blocking only one system call.
This commit tries to keep the behavior as close to unchanged as possible. The
system call list is in line with libseccomp 2.5.5 and glibc 2.39, which are the
latest versions at the point of writing. Since libseccomp 2.5.5 is already a
requirement and the distributions shipping this together with older versions of
glibc are mostly not a thing any more, this should not lead to more build
failures any more.

seccomp filter during development. Let's try removing it.

Due to a leftover from a previous version where the buffer was allocated on the

accidentally passes the size of a pointer as the size of the buffer to the

to excessive progress reports, which happen for each chunk. Pass the proper

The repeated value detection logic exists so that the occurrence of large
common substructures does not fill up the screen or the computer's memory.
However, empty attribute sets and derivations (when their detection is enabled)
are always cheap to print, and in practice I have observed them to make up a
significant majority of the cases where I was annoyed by the repeated value
detection kicking in. Furthermore, `nix-instantiate --eval` already disables
this logic for empty attribute sets, and empty lists are already exempted
everywhere. For these reasons, always print empty attribute sets and
derivations as what they are.

When pretty-printing is enabled, previously an unforced thunk would trigger
indentation, even when it subsequently does not evaluate to a nested structure.
The resulting output looked inconsistent, and furthermore pretty-printing was
not idempotent (since pretty-printing the same value again, which is now fully
evaluated, will not trigger indentation).
When strict evaluation is enabled, force the item before inspecting its type,
so that it is properly known whether it contains a nested structure.
Furthermore, there is no need to cause indentation for unforced thunks, since
the very next operation will be printing them as `«thunk»`.
This is mostly a port of https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/11100 , but we only
force the item when it's going to be forced anyway due to strict
pretty-printing, and a new test was written since the REPL testing framework in
Lix is different.

Due to a mistake in the grammar, a dollar character implicitly escapes a second
dollar character that immediately follows, so that it cannot start an
interpolation. Unfortunately, this behaviour has since come to be relied upon,
so it cannot be fixed. Furthermore, the documentation on regular strings did
not mention this behaviour at all, while in the case of indented strings it was
rather implicit.
Mention it explicitly in both cases, and describe how an interpolation can
follow a dollar character (namely, by escaping that). Since we have to touch
that section anyway, state that any character (other than n, r, and t; but
notably including `$` even if not succeeded by `{`) can be escaped using a
backslash in regular strings.

this is not completely necessary at this point because the parser right
now already returns a generator to pass through all input data it read,
but the nar parser *was* very lax and would accept nars that weren't in
canonical form (defined as the form dumpPath would return). nar hashing
depends on these things, and as such rewriting the parser now allows us
to reject non-canonical nars that extract to the same store contents as
their canonical counterpart but have different nar hashes despite that.

This is caused by pthread_cancel effectively throwing a
not-specifically-identifiable C++ exception into the targeted thread,
which, if it is not rethrown, terminates the process entirely.
This is rather "impolite" behaviour, we would say. But thread
cancellation is *always* busted, and we should simply not use it where
unnecessary. It's particularly unnecessary when what we *actually* need
it for is, err, interrupting a poll(2).
That can in turn be achieved by simply listening to more stuff in the
poll, namely, a pipe, which we send a character to when needing to
stop the thread.
While looking at this code, we also investigated whether any of the
poll() madness is required, or was even *ever* required. Curiously we
found in the XNU kernel source code that the thing about needing to
listen to POLLHUP is probably *correct*, but switching it to POLLRDNORM
should not have made any difference at all. We've left a FIXME to look
into that further because what's written here is super janky.

This also bans various sneaking of negative numbers from the language
into unsuspecting builtins as was exposed while auditing the
consequences of changing the Nix language integer type to a newtype.
It's unlikely that this change comprehensively ensures correctness when
passing integers out of the Nix language and we should probably add a
checked-narrowing function or something similar, but that's out of scope
for the immediate change.
During the development of this I found a few fun facts about the
language:
- You could overflow integers by converting from unsigned JSON values.
- You could overflow unsigned integers by converting negative numbers
into them when going into Nix config, into fetchTree, and into flake
inputs.
The flake inputs and Nix config cannot actually be tested properly
since they both ban thunks, however, we put in checks anyway because
it's possible these could somehow be used to do such shenanigans some
other way.
Note that Lix has banned Nix language integer overflows since the very
first public beta, but threw a SIGILL about them because we run with
-fsanitize=signed-overflow -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error in
production builds. Since the Nix language uses signed integers, overflow
was simply undefined behaviour, and since we defined that to trap, it
did.
Trapping on it was a bad UX, but we didn't even entirely notice
that we had done this at all until it was reported as a bug a couple of
months later (which is, to be fair, that flag working as intended), and
it's got enough production time that, aside from code that is IMHO buggy
(and which is, in any case, not in nixpkgs) such as
lix-project/lix#445, we don't think
anyone doing anything reasonable actually depends on wrapping overflow.
Even for weird use cases such as doing funny bit crimes, it doesn't make
sense IMO to have wrapping behaviour, since two's complement arithmetic
overflow behaviour is so *aggressively* not what you want for *any* kind
of mathematics/algorithms. The Nix language exists for package
management, a domain where bit crimes are already only dubiously in
scope to begin with, and it makes a lot more sense for that domain for
the integers to never lose precision, either by throwing errors if they
would, or by being arbitrary-precision.
This change will be ported to CppNix as well, to maintain language
consistency.
Fixes: lix-project/lix#423

The actual motive here is the avoidance of integer overflow if we were
to make these use checked NixInts and retain the subtraction.
However, the actual *intent* of this code is a three-way comparison,
which can be done with operator<=>, so we should just do *that* instead.

this will let us turn copyNAR into a generator as well, which in turn is
necessary to turn the users of copyNAR into generators without resorting
to sinkToSource coroutines. currently this uses the SerializingTransform
in all cases, even for copyNAR where it is not necessary. should this be
a performance problem we can easily swap out the transform for one which
does not produce any bytes of its own, but that should not be necessary.

the rewriting sink was just broken. when given a rewrite set that
contained a key that is also a proper infix of another key it was
possible to produce an incorrectly rewritten result if the writer
used the wrong block size. fixing this duplicates rewriteStrings,
to avoid this we'll rewrite rewriteStrings to use RewritingSource
in a new mode that'll allow rewrites we had previously forbidden.

`nix-collect-garbage --dry-run` previously elided the entire garbage
collection check, meaning that it would just exit the script without
printing anything.
This change makes the dry run flag instead set the GC action to
`gcReturnDead` rather than `gcDeleteDead`, and then continue with the
script. So if you set `--dry-run`, it will print the paths it *would*
have garbage collected, but not actually delete them.
I filed a bug for this: lix-project/lix#432 but then realised I could give fixing it a go myself.

Activities can set display attributes in their log output using the "Select
Graphics Rendition" functionality. To prevent interfering with subsequent text
displayed, these should be reset after writing the log line. The multiline
progress bar neglected to do this, resulting for example in a colorised
"building …" header in the next line. Reset the attributes properly, like the
standard progress bar already does.

size tracking can be done with a LengthSink and a tee. match tracking

because computeHashModulo uses a single rewrite could it have worked.

this much more closely mimics what is actually happening: we're reading
data from somewhere else, actively, rather than passively waiting. with
the data flow matching the underlying system interactions better we can
remove a few sinkToSource calls that merely exists to undo the mismatch
caused by not treating subprocess output as a data source to begin with

this will let us also return a source for the program output later,
which will in turn make sinkToSource unnecessary for program output
processing. this may also reopen a path for provigin program input,

generators are a better basis for serializers than streaming into sinks
as we do currently for many reasons, such as being usable as sources if
one wishes to (without requiring an intermediate sink to serialize full
data sets into memory, or boost coroutines to turn sinks into sources),
composing more naturally (as one can just yield a sub-generator instead
of being forced to wrap entire substreams into clunky functions or even
more clunky custom types to implement operator<< on), allowing wrappers
to transform data with clear ownership semantics (removing the need for
explicit memory allocations and Source wrappers), and many other things

this will be the basis of non-boost coroutines in lix. anything that is
a boost coroutine *should* be representable with a Generator coroutine,
and many things that are not currently boost coroutines but behave much
like one (such as, notably, serializers) should be as well. this allows
us to greatly simplify many things that look like iteration but aren't.

not printing activities at all when no progress information is available
hides *all* progress information from e.g. flake show. this is not ideal
and needs to be fixed, but the fix *still* has problems with flake show:
in multiline mode we will overwrite all useful flake show output as soon
as the progress bar is redrawn. flake show output is also mangled in any
number of other situations (like -v being set), so we should probably be
not too worried about it and fix progress reporting properly another day
Change-Id: I6d39d670e261bbae00560b6a8e15dec8e16b35c4
Previously, the progress bar had two subtly different states in which the bar
would not actually render, both with their own shortcomings: inactive (which
was irreversible) and paused (reversible, but swallowing logs). Furthermore,
there was no way of resetting the statistics, so a very bad solution was
implemented (243c0f18da) that would create a new
logger for each line of the repl, leaking the previous one and discarding the
value of printBuildLogs. Finally, if stderr was not attached to a TTY, the
update thread was started even though the logger was not active, violating the
invariant required by the destructor (which is not observed because the logger
is leaked).
In this commit, the two aforementioned states are unified into a single one,
which can be exited again, correctly upholds the invariant that the update
thread is only running while the progress bar is active, and does not swallow
logs. The latter change in behavior is not expected to be a problems in the
rare cases where the paused state was used before, since other loggers (like
the simple one) don't exhibit it anyway. The startProgressBar/stopProgressBar
API is removed due to being a footgun, and a new method for properly resetting
the progress is added.

We previously allowed you to map any flake URL to any other flake URL,
including shorthand flakerefs, indirect flake URLs like `flake:nixpkgs`,
direct flake URLs like `github:NixOS/nixpkgs`, or local paths.
But flake registry entries mapping from direct flake URLs often come
from swapping the 'from' and 'to' arguments by accident, and even when
created intentionally, they may not actually work correctly.
This patch rejects those URLs (and fully-qualified flake: URLs), making
it harder to swap the arguments by accident.

this most notably affects `nix eval`: if there is no progress bar to be
shown and no activities going on we should not print anything at all. a
progress bar with no activities would print a bunch of terminal escapes
*and a space*, which is not helpful in simple cases like nix eval -E 1.
notably this does *not* affect nix eval called on non-terminal outputs,
but it is slightly confusing nevertheless (and not difficult to avoid).

this gives about 20% performance improvements on pure parsing. obviously
it will be less on full eval, but depending on how much parsing is to be
done (e.g. including hackage-packages.nix or not) it's more like 4%-10%.
this has been tested (with thousands of core hours of fuzzing) to ensure
that the ASTs produced by the new parser are exactly the same as the old
one would have produced. error messages will change (sometimes by a lot)
and are not yet perfect, but we would rather leave this as is for later.
test results for running only the parser (excluding the variable binding
code) in a tight loop with inputs and parameters as given are promising:
- 40% faster on lix's package.nix at 10000 iterations
- 1.3% faster on nixpkgs all-packages.nix at 1000 iterations
- equivalent on all of nixpkgs concatenated at 100 iterations
(excluding invalid files, each file surrounded with parens)
more realistic benchmarks are somewhere in between the extremes, parsing
once again getting the largest uplift. other realistic workloads improve
by a few percentage points as well, notably system builds are 4% faster.

These are totally available and you can just turn them on, but they have
very bad dependency tracking and thus bloat incremental change times,
which is not really ok.

This reverts commit 35eec921af.
Reason for revert: Regressed nix-eval-jobs, and it appears to be this change is buggy/missing a case. It just needs another pass.
Code causing the problem in n-e-j, when invoked with `nix-eval-jobs --flake '.#hydraJobs'`:
```
n-e-j/tests/assets » ../../build/src/nix-eval-jobs --meta --workers 1 --flake .#hydraJobs
warning: unknown setting 'trusted-users'
warning: `--gc-roots-dir' not specified
error: unsupported Git input attribute 'dir'
error: worker error: error: unsupported Git input attribute 'dir'
```
```
nix::Value *vRoot = [&]() {
if (args.flake) {
auto [flakeRef, fragment, outputSpec] =
nix::parseFlakeRefWithFragmentAndExtendedOutputsSpec(
args.releaseExpr, nix::absPath("."));
nix::InstallableFlake flake{
{}, state, std::move(flakeRef), fragment, outputSpec,
{}, {}, args.lockFlags};
return flake.toValue(*state).first;
} else {
return releaseExprTopLevelValue(*state, autoArgs, args);
}
}();
```
Inspecting the program behaviour reveals that `dir` was in fact set in the URL going into the fetcher. This is in turn because unlike in the case changed in this commit, it was not erased before handing it to libfetchers, which is probably just a mistake.

On operating systems where /bin/sh is not Bash, some scripts are invalid
because of bashisms, and building Lix fails with errors like this:
`render-manpage.sh: 3: set: Illegal option -o pipefail`
This modifies all scripts that use a `/bin/sh` shebang to `/usr/bin/env

this was only used in one place, and that place has been rewritten to
use a temporary file instead. keeping this around is not very helpful
at this time, and in any case we'd be better off rewriting subprocess
handling in rust where we not only have a much safer library for such
things but also async frameworks necessary for this easily available.

we want to remove runProgram's ability to provide stdin to a process
because the concurrency issues of handling both stdin and stdout are
much more pronounced once runProgram returns not is collected output
but a source. this is possible in the current c++ framework, however
it isn't necessary in almost all cases (as demonstrated by only this
single user existing) and in much better handled with a proper async
concurrency model that lets the caller handle both at the same time.

copy-constructing or assigning from pid_t can easily lead to duplicate
Pid instances for the same process if a pid_t was used carelessly, and
Pid itself was copy-constructible. both could cause surprising results
such as killing processes twice (which could become very problemantic,
but luckily modern systems don't reuse PIDs all that quickly), or more
than one piece of the code believing it owns a process when neither do

this is only used in one place, and only to set a nicer error message on

provide an error message in that catch block rather than forcing support

called outside of PathSubstitutionGoal anyway, which catches everything.

A better way to display this is a nom-like approach where all scheduled

The original idea was to fix lix#174, but for a user friendly solution,
I figured that we'd need more consistency:
* Invalid query params will cause an error, just like invalid
attributes. This has the following two consequences:
* The `?dir=`-param from flakes will be removed before the URL to be
fetched is passed to libfetchers.
* The tarball fetcher doesn't allow URLs with custom query params
anymore. I think this was questionable anyways given that an
arbitrary set of query params was silently removed from the URL you
wanted to fetch. The correct way is to use an attribute-set
with a key `url` that contains the tarball URL to fetch.
* Same for the git & mercurial fetchers: in that case it doesn't even
matter though: both fetchers added unused query params to the URL
that's passed from the input scheme to the fetcher (`url2` in the code).
It turns out that this was never used since the query parameters were
erased again in `getActualUrl`.
* Validation happens for both attributes and URLs. Previously, a lot of
fetchers validated e.g. refs/revs only when specified in a URL and
the validity of attribute names only in `inputFromAttrs`.
Now, all the validation is done in `inputFromAttrs` and `inputFromURL`
constructs attributes that will be passed to `inputFromAttrs`.
* Accept all attributes as URL query parameters. That also includes
lesser used ones such as `narHash`.
And "output" attributes like `lastModified`: these could be declared
already when declaring inputs as attribute rather than URL. Now the
behavior is at least consistent.
Personally, I think we should differentiate in the future between
"fetched input" (basically the attr-set that ends up in the lock-file)
and "unfetched input" earlier: both inputFrom{Attrs,URL} entrypoints
are probably OK for unfetched inputs, but for locked/fetched inputs
a custom entrypoint should be used. Then, the current entrypoints
wouldn't have to allow these attributes anymore.

If we've consumed the entire input, that doesn't actually mean we're
done decompressing - there might be more output left. This worked (?)
in most cases because the input and output sizes are pretty comparable,
but sometimes they're not and then things get very funny.

I did a whole bunch of `git log -S` to find out exactly when all these
things were obsoleted and found the commit in which their usage was
removed, which I have added in either the error message or a comment.
I've also made *some* of the version checks into static asserts for when
we update the minimum supported protocol version.
In the end this is not a lot of code we are deleting, but it's code that
we will never have to support into the future when we build a protocol
bridge, which is why I did it. It is not in the support baseline.

This happened during a PathSubstitutionGoal of a .drv file:
substitution of '/tmp/jade/nix-test/ca/eval-store/store/1lj7lsq5y0f25mfbnq6d3zd0bw5ay33n-dependencies-input-2.drv'
What happened here is that since PathSubstitutionGoal is not a
DerivationGoal, in production builds, the UB was not caught, since it
would early-exit from failing a dynamic_cast to DerivationGoal * on the
very next line, but before the null reference was ever used.
This was nonetheless UB. The fix should be to just rearrange the two
lines; I don't think there is a further bug there, since *substituting a
.drv* **necessarily** means you cannot have the representation of
the derivation as would be necessary for drv to not be null there.

We got UBSan working on Lix, so we of course immediately found a bug and
some definitely nonsense behaviour.
Accessing `pureEval` or `restrictEval` from a default setting value is
nonsense, since they would never be actually set by the time that value
is set so they are not going to do anything. The configuration is not
applied in an initializer (and even if it were, it's not going to be in
the right order).
After looking into *that*, we hunted down what actually was applying
these, since clearly this code did not do anything. The EvalState
constructor should have a "search path added and removed here :)" sign
on it, because that's where it is done. We added an explicit
initialization of the optional in there because it was otherwise unclear
why pureEval also has the search path to allowed paths setup code run.
We then realized that the `pureEval` documentation was *also* bogus, and
we rewrote it. In so doing, we realized that we forgot to file a bug to
make `builtins.storePath` work in pure eval mode, so we filed one of
those: lix-project/lix#402
Yaks have been thoroughly shorn.

The lock usage was obviously wrong so it was entirely serialized. This
has the predicted speedups, the only question is whether it is sound
because it's exposing a bunch of new code to actual concurrency.
I did audit all the stores' queryPathInfoUncached implementations and
they all look *intended* to be thread safe, but whether that is actually
sound or not: lol lmao. I am highly confident in the s3 one because it
is calling s3 sdk methods that are thread safe and has no actual state.
Others are using Pool and look to be *supposed* to be thread safe, but
unsure if they actually are.

What happened here is that name got overwritten, but it was what

There was a previously-unused move constructor that just called abort,
which makes no sense since it ought to just be `= delete` if you don't
want one (commit history says it was Eelco doing an optimistic
performance optimisation in 2016, so it probably would not pass review
today).
However, a Lock has some great reasons to be moved! You might need to
unlock it early, for instance, or give it to someone else. So we change
the move constructor to instead hollow out the moved-from object and
make it unusable.

Unfetched submodules are included as empty directories in archives, so they end
up as such in the store when fetched in clean mode. Make sure the same happens
in dirty mode too. Fortunately, they are already correctly represented in the
ls-files output, so we just need to make sure to include the empty directory in
our filter.

now that destructors are hooked up we want to give the C skeleton every
real chance to actually run them. since bison does not call destructors
on values that have been passed to semantic actions even when an action
causes an abort we will also have to delete some things manually still.

this doesn't help much yet since the state objects themselves also leak
all memory they are given, but it is a first necessary step to properly
managing parser memory. notably we have to clear $$ when returning from

* changes:
Change error messages about 'invalid paths' to 'path does not exist'.
Add a clearer error message for InvalidPathError during evaluation
Harmonise the Store::queryPathInfoUncached interface
This:
- Consistently returns `nullptr` for a non-existent
store path, instead of a mix of `nullptr` and
throwing exceptions.
- If a store returns "bad" store paths in response
to a request (e.g. incorrect hash or name), don't
cache this result. This removes some duplication
of code at the cache-access layer of queryPathInfo()
checking this, and allows us to provide more
specific errors.

Forgejo appears to immediately delete registry content that is
overwritten. This means that we are forced to delete our previous
workaround of making a temporary tag and use a new, more absurd
workaround of making an entire temporary image that we basically only
need to create to get its hash.
However, on the plus side, the new workaround doesn't create garbage
tags to begin with, which means that we don't have to deal with GitHub
not implementing the standardized tag delete endpoint and instead
only implementing a proprietary one.

I don't know when this broke, it seems like it happened since the 24.05
upgrade, so xonsh 0.15.
What happened is that xonsh was trying to intercept log output, which
explodes if you have the logger survive past one command input. This is,
however, impossible to avoid if you are trying to use logging when you
import releng from inside xonsh for interactive use!
The error below is because the memory handler backing the stdout/stderr
of the one command that's just been run was closed after the command
completed.

Change-Id: I0b474ffcd4a431bf117a303d0b65fa6532113f48
There were two bugs I found:
1. If the build isn't already done in the store, nix-store --realise
does not know how to build it. You have to just give it the
derivation and I guess it will realise all outputs, which is fine.
2. cp without -T will not overwrite an existing manual directory,
creating a path manual/manual.

This was originally going to be just the testsuite but I kinda just

I am tired of us not documenting these. This is a starting point to
producing an actually good index. I would like to enforce it in a

-- jade resubmit changes --
This is a resubmission of https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1418, which
was reverted in https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/1432 for breaking CI
evaluation without being detected.
I have run `nix flake check -Lv` on this one before submission and it
passes on my machine and crucially without eval errors, so the CI result
should be accurate.
It seems like someone renamed forbiddenDependenciesRegex to
forbiddenDependenciesRegexes in nixpkgs and also changed the type
incompatibly. That's pretty silly, but at least it's just an eval error.
Also, `xonsh` regressed the availability of `xonsh-unwrapped`, but it
was fixed by us in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/317636, which
is now in our channel, so we update nixpkgs compared to the original
iteration of this to simply get that.
We originally had a regression related to some reorganization of the
nixpkgs lib test suite in which there was broken parameter passing.
This, too, we got quickfixed in nixpkgs, so we don't need any changes
for it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/317772

The libcmd unit test creates files (more specifically, the fetcher cache) in
its home directory. In the single-user sandbox, this leads to the creation of
/homeless-shelter, since this is the default HOME and the root is writable.
Unfortunately, this conflicts with the assumption of the functional tests that
this directory does not exist. Use a different home directory to prevent these
test failures, and thus restore the ability to build inside the single-user
sandbox.

For example, when releasing from release-2.90, if `main` has a 2.91 tag
ancestor, we know that 2.91 was released, so we should *not* tag latest.

If we don't want to have separate registry tags by architecture (EWWWW),
we need to be able to build multiarch docker images. This is pretty
simple, and just requires making a manifest pointing to each of the
component images.
I was *going* to just do this API prodding with manifest-tool, but it
doesn't support putting metadata on the outer manifest, which is
actually kind of a problem because it then doesn't render the metadata
on github. So I guess we get a simple little containers API
implementation that is 90% auth code.

I have checked the image can build things and inspected `diff -ru`
compared to the old image. As far as I can tell it is more or less
the same besides the later git change.
Layers are now 65MB or less, and we aren't against the maxLayers limit
for the broken automatic layering to do anything but shove one store
path in a layer (which is good behaviour, actually).
This uses nix2container which streams images, so the build time is much
shorter.
I have also taken the opportunity to, in addition to fixing the 400MB
single layer (terrible, and what motivated this in the first place),
delete about 200MB of closure size inflicted by git vs gitMinimal
causing both perl and python to get into closure.
People mostly use this thing for CI, so I don't really think you need
advanced git operations, and large git can be added at the user side if
really motivated.
With love for whichever container developer somewhat ironically assumed
that one would not run skopeo in a minimal container that doesn't have a

Since ad8a4b380e, the version printer returns "nix (Lix, like Nix) 2.x",
hence the `daemonVersion` was being set to the string "like".
Using `compareVersions` with a letter compares them lexicographically:
builtins.compareVersions "like" "2.12pre20230103" // => -1
builtins.compareVersions "like" "2.16.0" // => -1
This caused that `isDaemonNewer` always returned 1, falsy in Bash terms.
Therefore, the test suite skipped those tests where they use it.

This causes libstore, libexpr, libfetchers, and libutil to be linked

libstore for the store backends, libexpr for the primops, libfetchers

Previously the entire escaped store URI was included. This would cause
build failures if a very long or deeply nested path was being used in
the store.
Now, we use the first 48 characters of the URL (escaped), then 16 bytes
of hash of the entire URL. This should never collide and limits the
length of the file name to a bit over 64, which is fine.

This is because a dynamic_cast<nix::RootArgs *> of a (n-e-j) MyArgs
returns nullptr even though MyArgs has virtual nix::RootArgs as a
parent.
class MyArgs : virtual public nix::MixEvalArgs,
virtual public nix::MixCommonArgs,
virtual nix::RootArgs { ... };
So this should work right?? But it does not. We found out that it's
caused by -fvisibility=hidden in n-e-j, but honestly this code was bad
anyway.
The trivial solution is to simply stop relying on RTTI working properly
here, which is probably better OO architecture anyway. However, I am not
100% confident *this* is sound, since we have this horrible hierarchy:
Args (defines getRoot)
/ | \
RootArgs MixCommonArgs MixEvalArgs
(overrides)
I am not confident that this is guaranteed to resolve from Args always
in the case of this override.

It seems like someone implemented precompiled headers a long time ago
and then it never got ported to meson or maybe didn't work at all.
This is, however, blessedly easy to simply implement. I went looking for
`#define` that could affect the result of precompiling the headers, and
as far as I can tell we aren't doing any of that, so this should truly
just be free build time savings.

I wonder if the "regression" in codegen time is just doing the PCH

If our shellHook is being run from a nested nix-shell (see 7a12bc200¹),
then (I think) it is run from a bash function due to the nesting, then
`return` is correct. If its `eval`'d though, then there isn't really a
correct way to early exit. So we can just unconditionally be executed in
a function.
Basically, we have IIFE at home.

while refactoring the curl wrapper we inadvertently broken the immutable
flake protocol, because the immutable flake protocol accumulates headers
across the entire redirect chain instead of using only the headers given
in the final response of the chain. this is a problem because Some Known

the penultimate entry of the redirect chain, and curl does not regard it
as worth returning to us via its response header enumeration mechanisms.

If a nested nix-shell is run inside a nix-shell, then the outer shell's
shellHook will be passed through and run again, unless the nested shell
defines its own.
With lix's hook, this can be annoying: forgetting to exit its nix-shell,
cd'ing to another repository & entering a nested nix-shell will happily
install lix's pre-commit hook in it.
This change makes lix's hook return early in such cases.

According to doc/manual/src/contributing/hacking.md, all development
shells should also be available in classic nix using the -A argument
to nix-shell, e.g.
nix-shell -A native-clangStdenvPackages
This was not actually the case; flake-compat generates attrsets like
nix-shell -A devShells.x86_64-linux.native-clangStdenvPackages
instead. These are unwieldy to use, so rather than changing the docs,
this changes the shell.nix file to result in the documented behavior.

check goals for timeouts first, and their activity fds only if no
timeout has occurred. checking for timeouts *after* activity sets
us up for assertion failures by running multiple build completion
notifiers, the first of which will kill/reap the the goal process
and consuming the Pid instance. when the second notifier attempts
to do the same it will core dump with an assertion failure in Pid
and take down not only the single goal, but the entire daemon and
all goals it was building. luckily this is rare in practice since
it requires a build to both finish and time out at the same time.
writing a test for this is not feasible due to how much it relies
on scheduling to actually trigger the underlying bug, but on idle
machines it can usually be triggered by running multiple sleeping
builds with timeout set to the sleep duration and `--keep-going`:
nix-build --timeout 10 --builders '' --keep-going -E '
with import <nixpkgs> {};

8c06b7b43¹ made libfetchers log the URL being fetched just before the
actual fetch, particularly in case something freezes. This used the base
URL, to not include query parameters, as the Nixpkgs lib tests assume
that stderr logs will be equal across shallow and non-shallow git
fetches (and shallow fetches have the ?shallow=1 query parameter).
8c06b7b43 assumed that the `base` field of ParsedURL would be populated,
as the comment simply says "URL without query/fragment"... but
apparently it is not populated when the URL being fetched is *already*
fetched, which caused libfetchers to log things like
fetching gitlab input ''
which is. silly. but you know, busted lix be busted.
Anyway, with this commit we just remove the query params before printing
instead, which seems to do the right thing

nix::fetchers::CacheImpl uses $XDG_CACHE_HOME, or its default based on
$HOME, to store its SQLite database. If the current process can't write
to that directory for whatever reason, though, any eval-time fetching

but ignored, and nix::fetchers::CacheImpl falls back to an in-memory¹
database instead.

builder does not set $XDG_CACHE_HOME, and sets $HOME to the non-existent

having the serializer write into `*conn` is not legal because we are

is unlikely this code was ever run: to protocol it caters to is from

since nix 2.17 and the 1.18 protocol broken here is nix 2.0 we might

This builtin was always a problem and nixpkgs uses it in exactly one
place, to give up if the Nix version is absurdly old. It has no other
use cases, and doesn't work in a multi-implementation world anyway.

There are a few places in nixpkgs lib where `**Foo**:` is used as a heading instead of the usual markdown `# Foo` ones. I think this is intentional with how it gets rendered in the manual, e.g. [`lib.lists.sortOn`][1].
[1]: https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#function-library-lib.lists.sortOn
`nix-doc` prints this as
```
*Laws**:
```nix
sortOn f == sort (p: q: f p < f q)
```
```
chomping off the first asterisk as part of `cleanup_single_line` that's meant to deal with `/** \n * \n * \n */` style doc comments. This also means the usage in lix ends up funny-looking with a trailing asterisk as if there's a footnote to pay attention to (which is how I first noticed it, heh)
The fix:
When cleaning up a single line and removing a prefix comment character,
ensure it's followed by whitespace (or the last character of the line).

Basically I'd expect the same behavior as with `nix-build`, i.e.
with `--keep-going` the hash-mismatch error of each failing
fixed-output derivation is shown.
The approach is derived from `Store::buildPaths` (`entry-point.cc`):
instead of throwing the first build-result, check if there are any build
errors and if so, display all of them and throw after that.
Unfortunately, the BuildResult struct doesn't have an `ErrorInfo`
(there's a FIXME for that at least), so I have to construct my own here.
This is a rather cheap bugfix and I decided against touching too many
parts of libstore for that (also I don't know if that's in line with the
ongoing refactoring work).

Because of an objc quirk[1], calling curl_global_init for the first time
after fork() will always result in a crash.
Up until now the solution has been to set
OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY for every nix process to ignore
that error.
This is less than ideal because we were setting it in package.nix,
which meant that running nix tests locally would fail because
that variable was not set.
Instead of working around that error we address it at the core -
by calling curl_global_init inside initLibStore, which should mean
curl will already have been initialized by the time we try to do so in
a forked process.

Some tests were failing on darwin,
if the auto-allocate-uids featrure was enabled.
This was because AAU on darwin works by setuid-ing as a non-existent
user, so the tests that were relying on `whoami` were failing.
In the case of trusted-users we fall back to printing the user id,
which is already handled gracefully in the daemon code - i.e. when
a user does not exist or for some other reason looking up their
username is not possible, the daemon falls back to searching for their
uid inside the trusted-users list.
When whoami is used to print the username for other purpose,
we default to printing nixbld.

If unprivileged userns are *believed* to be disabled (such as with

With Linux kernel >=6.6 & glibc 2.39 a `fchmodat2(2)` is available that
isn't filtered away by the libseccomp sandbox.
Being able to use this to bypass that restriction has surprising results
for some builds such as lxc[1]:
> With kernel ≥6.6 and glibc 2.39, lxc's install phase uses fchmodat2,
> which slips through 9b88e52846/src/libstore/build/local-derivation-goal.cc (L1650-L1663).
> The fixupPhase then uses fchmodat, which fails.
> With older kernel or glibc, setting the suid bit fails in the
> install phase, which is not treated as fatal, and then the
> fixup phase does not try to set it again.
Please note that there are still ways to bypass this sandbox[2] and this is
mostly a fix for the breaking builds.
This change works by creating a syscall filter for the `fchmodat2`
syscall (number 452 on most systems). The problem is that glibc 2.39
is needed to have the correct syscall number available via
`__NR_fchmodat2` / `__SNR_fchmodat2`, but this flake is still on
nixpkgs 23.11. To have this change everywhere and not dependent on the
glibc this package is built against, I added a header
"fchmodat2-compat.hh" that sets the syscall number based on the
architecture. On most platforms its 452 according to glibc with a few
exceptions:
$ rg --pcre2 'define __NR_fchmodat2 (?!452)'
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/x32/arch-syscall.h
58:#define __NR_fchmodat2 1073742276
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/n32/arch-syscall.h
67:#define __NR_fchmodat2 6452
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips64/n64/arch-syscall.h
62:#define __NR_fchmodat2 5452
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/mips32/arch-syscall.h
70:#define __NR_fchmodat2 4452
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/alpha/arch-syscall.h
59:#define __NR_fchmodat2 562
I added a small regression-test to the setuid integration-test that
attempts to set the suid bit on a file using the fchmodat2 syscall.
I confirmed that the test fails without the change in
local-derivation-goal.
Additionally, we require libseccomp 2.5.5 or greater now: as it turns
out, libseccomp maintains an internal syscall table and
validates each rule against it. This means that when using libseccomp
2.5.4 or older, one may pass `452` as syscall number against it, but
since it doesn't exist in the internal structure, `libseccomp` will refuse
to create a filter for that. This happens with nixpkgs-23.11, i.e. on
stable NixOS and when building Lix against the project's flake.
To work around that
* a backport of libseccomp 2.5.5 on upstream nixpkgs has been
scheduled[3].
* the package now uses libseccomp 2.5.5 on its own already. This is to
provide a quick fix since the correct fix for 23.11 is still a staging cycle
away.
We still need the compat header though since `SCMP_SYS(fchmodat2)`
internally transforms this into `__SNR_fchmodat2` which points to
`__NR_fchmodat2` from glibc 2.39, so it wouldn't build on glibc 2.38.
The updated syscall table from libseccomp 2.5.5 is NOT used for that
step, but used later, so we need both, our compat header and their
syscall table 🤷

Part of #7672
My main motivation is to be able to use `nix.checkConfig`[1]. This
doesn't work with Lix currently since the module uses `nix show-config`
if the Nix version is <2.20pre and `nix config show` otherwise. I think
this is the only instance where nixpkgs checks for which Nix commands
exist that affects us now, so I figured we could just perform the rename
here as well[2] and still provide the current version number[3].
I don't have a strong opinion on whether to deprecate `nix show-config`,
the warning is added there automatically.

[2] I should add that I don't use the "official" ways of installing Lix

want to complicate it further while keeping a single package-set I
can build in CI. Don't get me wrong, I think such a module for a
quick-start is very important, just giving context on why I bother
in the first place :)

this is used in CA rewriting, replacement of placeholders in
derivations, generating scripts for devShells, and some more
places. in all of these transitive replacements are unsound,
and overlapping replacements would be as well. there even is
a test that transitive replacements do not happen (in the CA
RewriteSink suite), but none for overlapping replacements. a
minimally surprising binary rewriter surely would not do any
of these replacements, the only reason we have not seen this
break yet is probably that rewriteStrings is only called for

nix3-profile: remove check "name" attr in manifests
Add profile migration test
nix3-profile: make element names stable
getNameFromURL(): Support uppercase characters in attribute names
nix3-profile: remove indices
nix3-profile: allow using human-readable names to select packages
implement parsing human-readable names from URLs
As discussed in the maintainer meeting on 2024-01-29.
Mainly this is to avoid a situation where the name is parsed and
treated as a file name, mostly to protect users.
.-* and ..-* are also considered invalid because they might strip
on that separator to remove versions. Doesn't really work, but that's
what we decided, and I won't argue with it, because .-* probably
doesn't seem to have a real world application anyway.
We do still permit a 1-character name that's just "-", which still
poses a similar risk in such a situation. We can't start disallowing
trailing -, because a non-zero number of users will need it and we've
seen how annoying and painful such a change is.
What matters most is preventing a situation where . or .. can be
injected, and to just get this done.

The installables syntax is not documented in any of the man pages or
docbook pages for any of those individual commands. And while these
commands really should at least peripherally individually document how
installables work, in the meantime we can at least direct people to the
right place.
This commit also clarifies the unexpected fact that `nix profile remove`
and `nix profile upgrade` do *not* take installables.

This commit adds a new NixOS VM test, which tests that `nix upgrade-nix`
works on both kinds of profiles (manifest.nix and manifest.json).
Done as a separate commit from 831d18a13, since it relies on the
--store-path argument from 026c90e5f as well.

nix3-profile automatically migrates any profile its used on to its style
of profile -- the ones with manifest.json instead of manifest.nix. On
non-NixOS systems, Nix is conventionally installed to the profile at
/nix/var/nix/profiles/default, so if a user passed that to `--profile`
of `nix profile`, then it would break upgrade-nix from ever working
again, without recreating the profile.
This commit fixes that, and allows upgrade-nix to work on either kind of
profile.
Fixes#16.
Change-Id: I4c49b1beba93bb50e8f8a107edc451affe08c3f7
Notably, ProfileManifest and ProfileElement are useful generic
profile management code, and nix profile is not the only place in the
codebase where profiles are relevant.
This commit is in preparation for fixing upgrade-nix's interaction with
new-style profiles.

This replaces the external sandbox-exec call with direct calls into
libsandbox. This API is technically deprecated and is missing some
prototypes, but all major browsers depend on it, so it is unlikely to
materially change without warning.
This commit also ensures the netrc file is only written if the
derivation is in fact meant to be able to access the internet.
This change commits a sin of not actually actively declaring its
dependency on macOS's libsandbox.dylib; this is due to the dylib
cache in macOS making that explicit dependency unnecessary. In the
future this might become a problem, so this commit marks our sins.

That's expected by `build-remote` and makes sure that errors are

host-key of `example.org` is unknown and
nix-build ../nixpkgs -A hello -j0 --builders 'ssh-ng://example.org'

cannot build on 'ssh-ng://example.org?&': error: failed to start SSH connection to 'example.org'

The relevant information (`Host key verification failed`) ends up in the

This can be fixed - the same way as its done for legacy-ssh - by passing
fd 4 to the SSH wrapper. Now you'd get the following error:

only decompress the response once all data has been received (in the
fully buffered case), or at least outside of the curl wrapper itself
(in the receive-to-sink case). unfortunately this means we will have
to duplicate decompression logic for these two cases for time being,
but once the curl wrapper has been rewritten to return a real future
or Source we can deduplicate this logic again. the curl wrapper will
have to turn into a proper Source first and use decompression source
logic which also does not currently exist—only decompression *sinks*

this lets each implementation of FileTransfer (of which currently only
the one exists at all) implement appropriate handling for its internal
behaviours that are not otherwise exposed. in curl this lets us switch
the buffer-full handling method from "block the entire curl thread" to
"pause just the one transfer", move the non-libcurl body decompression
out of the actual curl wrapper (which will let us eventually morph the
curl wrapper intto an actual source of Sources), and some other things

Previously, the garbage collector found runtime roots on Darwin by
shelling out to `lsof -n -w -F n` then parsing the result.
However, this requires an lsof binary and can be extremely slow.
The official Apple lsof returns in a reasonable amount of time,
about 250ms in my tests, but the lsof packaged in nixpkgs is quite slow,
taking about 40 seconds to run the command.
Using libproc directly is about the same speed as Apple lsof,
and allows us to reënable several tests that were disabled on Darwin.

My main motivation for this change is to limit the amount of compile
jobs to make sure my machine is still usable for something else when
building a fresh Lix locally.
Also made `build` a dependency of `install`: this is analogous to
`make install` in CppNix where this both recompiles changed files and
installs the artifacts into `outputs/out`. May be a little more pleasant
to work with that, especially when you're used to contributing to
CppNix.

just accumulate error data into result.data as we would for successful

This commit makes Meson the default buildsystem for Lix.
The Make buildsystem is now deprecated and will be removed soon, but has
not yet, which will be done in a later commit when all seems good. The
mesonBuild jobs have been removed, and have not been replaced with
equivalent jobs to ensure the Make buildsystem still works.
The full, new commands in a development shell are:
$ meson setup ./build "--prefix=$out" $mesonFlags
(A simple `meson setup ./build` will also build, but will do a different
thing, not having the settings from package.nix applied.)
$ meson compile -C build
$ meson test -C build --suite=check
$ meson install -C build
$ meson test -C build --suite=installcheck
(Check and installcheck may both be done after install, allowing you to
omit the --suite argument entirely, but this is the order package.nix
runs them in.)
If tests fail and Meson helpfully has no output for why, use the
`--print-error-logs` option to `meson test`. Why this is not the default
I cannot explain.
If you change a setting in the buildsystem, most cases will
automatically regenerate the Meson configuration, but some cases, like
trying to build a specific target whose name is new to the buildsystem
(e.g. `meson compile -C build src/libmelt/libmelt.dylib`, when
`libmelt.dylib` did not exist as a target the last time the buildsystem
was generated), then you can reconfigure using new settings but
existing options, and only recompiling stuff affected by the changes:
$ meson setup --reconfigure build
Note that changes to the default values in `meson.options` or in the
`default_options :` argument to project() are NOT propagated with
`--reconfigure`.
If you want a totally clean build, you can use:
$ meson setup --wipe build
That will work regardless of if `./build` exists or not.
Specific, named targets may be addressed in
`meson build -C build <target>` with the "target ID" if there is one,
which is the first string argument passed to target functions that
have one, and unrelated to the variable name, e.g.:
libexpr_dylib = library('nixexpr', …)
can be addressed with:
$ meson compile -C build nixexpr
All targets may be addressed as their output, relative to the build
directory, e.g.:
$ meson compile -C build src/libexpr/libnixexpr.so
But Meson does not consider intermediate files like object files
targets. To build a specific object file, use Ninja directly and
specify the output file relative to the build directory:
$ ninja -C build src/libexpr/libnixexpr.so.p/nixexpr.cc.o
To inspect the canonical source of truth on what the state of the
buildsystem configuration is, use:
$ meson introspect
Have fun!

This should fix cross compilation in the base case, but this is
difficult to test as cross compilation is broken in many different
places right now. This should bring Meson back up to cross parity with
the Make buildsystem though.

don't reimplement header parsing. this was only really needed due to the
ancient github bug we no longer care about, everything else we have done
in custom code can also be done using curl itself. doing this also fixes
possible sources of header smuggling (because the header function didn't
unfold headers and we'd trim them before parsing, which would've made us
read contents of one header as a fully formed header in itself). this is
a slight behavior change because we now honor only the first instance of
a given header where previous behavior was to honor either the last or a
combination of all of them (accept-ranges was logical-or'd by accident).

this was a workaround for a *github* bug that happend *in 2015*.
not only is github no longer buggy, it shouldn't have been nix's
responsibility to work around these bugs like this to begin with
while we're at it we'll also remove another workaround—again for
github specifically and again for etag handling—from 2021 that's
also not needed any more. future workarounds for serverside bugs
should probably come with an expiration date that mutates into a
build warning after a while, otherwise this *will* happen again.

in

93cc06334 removed nss-cacert from the binary tarball, but they're
necessary for global compatibility (and for our installer). This is what
results in cacerts being in the default profile, so e.g. the daemon has
TLS certs without having to use the system ones.
There's a fallback behavior in the daemon script in case these wind up
missing from the profile, but we don't want to have to rely on that,
since the fallback fails if it doesn't recognize one of a handful of

manpages can be rendered using the markdown output of mdbook, the rest
of the manual can generated out of the main doc/manual source tree. we
still use lowdown to actually render manpages instead of eg mdbook-man
because lowdown does generate reasonably good manpages (though that is
also somewhat debatable, but they're a lot better than mdbook-man).
doing this not only lets us drastically simplify the lowdown pipeline,
but also remove all custom {{#include}} handling since now mdbook does
all of it, even for the manpage builds. even the lowdown wrapper isn't
entirely necessary because lowdown can take all wrapper arguments with
command line flags rather than bits of input file content.
This also implements running mdbook in Meson, in order to generate the
manpages. The mdbook outputs are also installed in the usual location.

Missing pattern @file in file src/libexpr/value.hh
We found some header files that don't conform to the style guide.
The Lix style guide requests that header files:
- Begin with `#pragma once` so they only get parsed once
- Contain a doxygen comment (`/**` or `///`) containing `@file`, for
example, `///@file`, which will make doxygen generate docs for them.
When adding that, consider also adding a `@brief` with a sentence
explaining what the header is for.

This probably snuck in in a refactor using truthiness or so. The
trustedness flag was having the optional fullness checked, rather than
the actual contained trust level.
Also adds some tests.

The flake for pre-commit-checks is rather questionable. We ignored
it so it uses our own nixpkgs and doesn't reimport nixpkgs. This should
save a couple of seconds of eval time!
Change-Id: I4584982beb32e0122f791fa29f6a544bdbb9e201
package.nix previously needed this callPackage'd externally, which
didn't make a lot of sense to us since this is an internal dependency.
Thus we changed it to make it more self contained.

Some of this code existed for installer tests, and indeed its removal is
an indication that our daemon cross-compatibility tests were removed.
Although these are not like, super critical tests, we would like to
restore them.

The following command is now sufficient to build Lix from outside of the
flake:
nix-build -E 'let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { }; in pkgs.callPackage
./package.nix { build-release-notes = false; nix-doc = pkgs.callPackage
./nix-doc/package.nix { }; }'

this commit fixes a load-bearing typo for`checks.rl-next` and
`checks.rl-next-dev`.

In our view it really doesn't make sense to not have this in in
package.nix in some way. These patches aren't just for performance or
something -- Lix flat out doesn't build without these patches.
(Arguably that makes them a buildsystem responsibility as well, but that
can wait for when we're ready to start adding subproject fallback
dependency resolution to Meson.)
This is a step towards making `package.nix` more self-sufficient and
`callPackage`able without excessive external logic.
With this change the following command is enough to build Lix from out
of the flake:
nix-build -E 'let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { }; in pkgs.callPackage
./package.nix { build-release-notes = false; inherit (pkgs.lib) fileset;
nix-doc = pkgs.callPackage ./nix-doc/package.nix { }; }'

`nix eval --write-to` refuses to write to a directory that exists at
all, so now we generate in a temporary directory, and copy the generated
tree to the build directory. This is equivalent to what the Make
buildsystem did, actually, but hopefully more robust.
Future work: documenting the doc generation architecture in the
top-level meson.build outline comment.
Change-Id: Ic3eb6d26e3cc249a1c042fd3ced22d637ac66a69
code blocks, if not surrounded by empty lines, have the language
tags (in these cases, always `nix`) show up in the output of :doc.
for example:
nix-repl> :doc builtins.parseFlakeRef
Synopsis: builtins.parseFlakeRef flake-ref
Parse a flake reference, and return its exploded form.
For example: nix builtins.parseFlakeRef
"github:NixOS/nixpkgs/23.05?dir=lib" evaluates to: nix { dir =
"lib"; owner = "NixOS"; ref = "23.05"; repo = "nixpkgs"; type =
"github"; }
is now instead:
nix-repl> :doc builtins.parseFlakeRef
Synopsis: builtins.parseFlakeRef flake-ref
Parse a flake reference, and return its exploded form.
For example:
| builtins.parseFlakeRef "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/23.05?dir=lib"
evaluates to:
| { dir = "lib"; owner = "NixOS"; ref = "23.05"; repo = "nixpkgs"; type = "github"; }

It is a little bit scuffed, but it seems to produce correct results. We
can run it at a later date when we want to explode every in-flight

This is terrible UX, and frankly an eval failure should be a cache
invalidation anyway.
This removes the CachedEvalError type entirely.

Commit c21d11ac0 "docs: replace sed invocation with an mdbook
preprocessor for @docroot@" added a direct build dependency on Python.
This has been accidentally working so far because Python is already a
*transitive* dependency of Lix's derivation.

- Use a recursive descent parser so that it's easy to extend.
- Add `@args` to enable customizing command-line arguments
- Add `@should-start` to enable `nix repl` tests that error before
entering the REPL
- Make sure to read all stdout output before comparing. This catches
some extra output we were tossing out before!

This reverts commit 491caad6f62c21ffbcdebe662e63ec0f72e6f3a2.
this is not actually legal for nix! throwing exceptions in destructors
is fine, but the way nix is set up we'll end up throwing the exception
we received from the remote *twice* in some cases, and such cases will
cause an immediate terminate without active exception.
Change-Id: I74c46b9f26fd791086e4193ec60eb1deb9a5bb2a
throwing exceptions is fine, but throwing exceptions during exception
handling is hard enough to do correctly that we should just forbid it
entirely out of an overabundance of caution. in cases where terminate
is the correct answer the users of Finally must call it manually now.

These were mistakenly labeled `eval-fail-*`.
Note that the `lang.sh` runner passes `parse-fail-*` tests on stdin, so

We're not entirely clear on why the links preprocessor has to be done
*before* rather than after, but we assume it is probably that as a
builtin preprocessor it does some processing on the raw book source,
and not just the JSON data.
Also a real use for Python pattern matching? I know I was surprised too.

For a long time `nix repl` has supported displaying documentation set on
builtins, however, it has long been convention to use Markdown comments
on Nix functions themselves for documentation. This exposes that
information to `nix repl` users in a nice and formatted way.
NixOS/rfcs#145 doc-comments are primarily what this feature is intended
to consume, however, support for lambda documentation in the repl is
experimental. We do our best effort to support the RFC here.
These changes are based on [the nix-doc library](https://github.com/lf-/nix-doc) and
are licensed under the terms described in the relevant source files.
Change-Id: Ic6fe947d39a22540705d890737e336c4720b0a22
setting this only on exceptions caused by actual fd access is not
sufficient to diagnose all errors (such as SerialisationError) in
some cases. this usually does not have any negative effects since
those errors will end up killing the process in another way. this
is not a reliable assumption though and we should be using proper
error handling (and closing connections more often, preferring to
close over keeping something open that might be in a weird state)
Change-Id: I1b792cd7ad8ba9ff0f6bd174945ab2575ff2208e
not needed yet, but returning a resource from the exception handling
path that has ownership of a handle is currently not well-supported.
we could also add a default constructor to Handle, but then we would
also need to change the pool reference to a pointer. eventually that
should be done since now resources can be swapped between pools with
clever moves, but since that's not a problem yet we won't do it now.
Change-Id: I26eb06581f7be34569e9e67a33da736128d167af
the duplication of exception handling was added without justification,
so we can only assume that it was done like this because Finally could
not throw exceptions safely. since this has now been rectified we will
deduplicate this handler code again.
Change-Id: I40721f3378c0fd9f34e2914a16d383f6e2713b40
this is supposed to act like a finally block does in other languages. a
finally block should be able to throw exceptions of its own rather than
just crashing the entire program when it throws it own exceptions. even
in the rare case of a finally throwing an unexpected exception it might
be better to report the exception from Finally instead of the original,
at least that can keep our program running instead of letting it crash.
Change-Id: Id42011e46b1df369152b4564938c0e93fa1acf32
usage of this flag previously kept connections open much longer than
necessary, and at the same time obscured that a connection was being
dropped when it *was* set. new variable names clarify this somewhat.
Change-Id: I11f6f08f37a5e4dc04ea6c6036ea589154b121c6
it was used incorrectly (not swapped on handle move), only used in one
place (that is now handled with exception handling detection in Handle
itself), and if ever reintroduced should be replaced with a different,
more understandable mechanism (like an explicit dropAsInvalid method).
Change-Id: Ie3e5d5cfa81d335429cb2ee5c3ad85c74a9df17b
this was never actually used, and bad design in the first place—why
should a bad resource be put back into the idle pool? just drop it.
Change-Id: Idab8774bee19dadae0209d404c4fb86dd4aeba1e
if a scope owning a resource does not gracefully drop that resource
while handling exceptions from deeper down the call stack we should
assume the resource is invalid state and drop it. currently it *is*
true that such cases do not cause resources to be freed, but thanks
to validator misuses this has so far not caused any larger problem.

Perl has an env hook[1]. Passing the paths manually without putting them
in buildInputs is harder to understand, plays less nicely with dev
shells, and is less build-generic.
Produced identical output on my x86_64-linux machine, and on my
aarch64-darwin machine was identical save for the derivation output path
which gets embedded into the .dylib Mach-O.

This does involve making a large number of destructors able to throw,

This has not yet had all the warnings Obliterated, but it is a start and
is not *super* far away from being able to run the current configuration
in CI, which will catch some limited number of mistakes.
I tried the meson clang-tidy target and it seems to fail to find flags
for several files, which seems broken. Unsure what is up with that, but
we can use run-clang-tidy or other tooling instead.
We have an extremely annoying situation with the lexer table, which
means that the lexer probably must be moved to another directory with
its own .clang-tidy file to disable the lints in it, *or* write scuffed
code that prepends a disable comment to the top of the generated file.
None of the comment-based lint disabling features work since yacc dumps
a bunch of non compliant code at the top of the file before anything the
user can control.

* some things that can throw are marked noexcept

Since we don't have a ./configure checked in, it makes no sense to keep
any of these scripts since people are already going to be running
autoreconf anyway.
Plus they will be completely deletable when meson shows up.
This fixes `autoreconfPhase` causing git diffs.

If you have addressed the reviews you can [officially ask for a review](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/requesting-a-pull-request-review) from those who commented to you or anyone else.
2. If it is unfinished but you plan to finish it, please mark it as a draft.
3. If you don't expect to work on it any time soon, closing it with a short comment may encourage someone else to pick up your work.
4. To get things rolling again, rebase the PR against the target branch and address valid comments.
5. If you need a review to move forward, ask in [the Discourse thread for PRs that need help](https://discourse.nixos.org/t/prs-in-distress/3604).
6. If all you need is a merge, check the git history to find and [request reviews](https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/requesting-a-pull-request-review) from people who usually merge related contributions.
## Suggestions for issues
1. If it is resolved (either for you personally, or in general), please consider closing it.
2. If this might still be an issue, but you are not interested in promoting its resolution, please consider closing it while encouraging others to take over and reopen an issue if they care enough.
3. If you still have interest in resolving it, try to ping somebody who you believe might have an interest in the topic. Consider discussing the problem in [our Discourse Forum](https://discourse.nixos.org/).
4. As with all open source projects, your best option is to submit a Pull Request that addresses this issue. We :heart: this attitude!
**Memorandum on closing issues**
Don't be afraid to close an issue that holds valuable information. Closed issues stay in the system for people to search, read, cross-reference, or even reopen--nothing is lost! Closing obsolete issues is an important way to help maintainers focus their time and effort.

Welcome and thank you for your interest in contributing to Nix!
We appreciate your support.
Welcome and thank you for considering contributing to Lix! We're currently in a soft release phase, and your support means a lot to us.
Reading and following these guidelines will help us make the contribution process easy and effective for everyone involved.
To ensure a smooth and effective contribution process, here is a summary of our guidelines:
## Getting help?
If you have any question regarding getting started or reporting bugs, feel free
to reach out to us.
On Matrix, we have a space at `#space:lix.systems`, composed of:
- [`#discuss:lix.systems`](https://matrix.to/#/#discuss:lix.systems) for discussions on Lix.
- [`#dev:lix.systems`](https://matrix.to/#/#dev:lix.systems) for the development channel on Lix.
## Report a bug
1. Check on the [GitHub issue tracker](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues) if your bug was already reported.
- Check if your bug has already been reported in the [issue tracker](https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues).
- If you can't find the bug or feature, please open a new issue.
2. If you were not able to find the bug or feature [open a new issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/new/choose)
3. The issue templates will guide you in specifying your issue.
The more complete the information you provide, the more likely it can be found by others and the more useful it is in the future.
Make sure reported bugs can be reproduced easily.
4. Once submitted, do not expect issues to be picked up or solved right away.
The only way to ensure this, is to [work on the issue yourself](#making-changes-to-nix).
We maintain a copy of the upstream Nix bugs. Their organisation can be read about [here](https://wiki.lix.systems/books/lix-contributors/page/bug-tracker-organisation).
## Report a security vulnerability

## Making changes to Nix
## Making changes to Lix
1. Check for [pull requests](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pulls) that might already cover the contribution you are about to make.
There are many open pull requests that might already do what you intent to work on.
You can use [labels](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels) to filter for relevant topics.
Before diving into making changes, we want to engage with you and your ideas.
2. Search for related issues that cover what you're going to work on. It could help to mention there that you will work on the issue.
We have a few policies in effect; please take the time to familiarize yourself:
Issues labeled [good first issue](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels/good-first-issue) should be relatively easy to fix and are likely to get merged quickly.
Pull requests addressing issues labeled [idea approved](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels/idea%20approved) are especially welcomed by maintainers and will receive prioritised review.
- [Style guide on code](https://wiki.lix.systems/books/lix-contributors/page/code)
- [Freeze policy and recommended contributions](https://wiki.lix.systems/books/lix-contributors/page/freezes-and-recommended-contributions)
3. Check the [Nix reference manual](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/contributing/hacking.html) for information on building Nix and running its tests.
To avoid duplication of effort, it may be a good idea to check out the list of
[pending pull requests](https://gerrit.lix.systems/q/status:open+-is:wip) (or "change lists", as Gerrit calls them). Once you have
an idea of what you might want to do, we recommend dropping a message on our
Matrix to ensure your contribution fits with our current schedule and plans
For contributions to the command line interface, please check the [CLI guidelines](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/unstable/contributing/cli-guideline.html).
When you're ready and your changes are ready to go:
4. Make your changes!
- Submit your code.
- Submitting a GitHub PR [on our mirror](https://github.com/lix-project/lix) is totally ok if that's easier for you and your change is relatively small (300 lines or so).
5. [Create a pull request](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request) for your changes.
* Link related issues in your pull request to inform interested parties and future contributors about your change.
* Make sure to have [a clean history of commits on your branch by using rebase](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-rebase-and-update-a-pull-request).
If your pull request closes one or multiple issues, note that in the description using `Closes: #<number>`, as it will then happen automatically when your change is merged.
* [Mark the pull request as draft](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/changing-the-stage-of-a-pull-request) if you're not done with the changes.
We may ask you to resubmit it as a Gerrit CL if it is necessary for the change you're making.
- Our primary code review system is [our Gerrit instance](https://gerrit.lix.systems), where you can open a change list (CL).
If you're new to Gerrit, check out [our wiki page about Gerrit](https://wiki.lix.systems/books/lix-contributors/page/gerrit).
- Make sure to link any related issues.
- If needed, indicate that the change is 'work in progress'.
6. Do not expect your pull request to be reviewed immediately.
Nix maintainers follow a [structured process for reviews and design decisions](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/tree/master/maintainers#project-board-protocol), which may or may not prioritise your work.
Following this checklist will make the process smoother for everyone:
- [ ] Fixes an [idea approved](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/labels/idea%20approved) issue
- [ ] User documentation in the [manual](..doc/manual/src)
- [ ] API documentation in header files
- [ ] Code and comments are self-explanatory
- [ ] Commit message explains **why** the change was made
- [ ] New feature or incompatible change: updated [release notes](./doc/manual/src/release-notes/rl-next.md)
7. If you need additional feedback or help to getting pull request into shape, ask other contributors using [@mentions](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#mentioning-people-and-teams).

synopsis: "Build failures caused by `allowSubstitutes = false` while being the wrong system now produce a decent error"
issues: [fj#484]
cls: [1841]
category: Fixes
credits: jade
---
Nix allows derivations to set `allowSubstitutes = false` in order to force them to be built locally without querying substituters for them.
This is useful for derivations that are very fast to build (especially if they produce large output).
However, this can shoot you in the foot if the derivation *has* to be substituted such as if the derivation is for another architecture, which is what `--always-allow-substitutes` is for.
Perhaps such derivations that are known to be impossible to build locally should ignore `allowSubstitutes` (irrespective of remote builders) in the future, but this at least reports the failure and solution directly.
```
$ nix build -f fail.nix
error: a 'unicornsandrainbows-linux' with features {} is required to build '/nix/store/...-meow.drv', but I am a 'x86_64-linux' with features {...}
Hint: the failing derivation has allowSubstitutes set to false, forcing it to be built rather than substituted.
Passing --always-allow-substitutes to force substitution may resolve this failure if the path is available in a substituter.
Previously a `.drv` that was truncated in the middle of a string would case nix to enter an infinite loop, eventually exhausting all memory and crashing.
synopsis: Duplicate attribute reports are more accurate
cls: 557
---
Duplicate attribute errors are now more accurate, showing the path at which an error was detected rather than the full, possibly longer, path that caused the error.
Error reports are now
```ShellSession
$ nix eval --expr '{ a.b = 1; a.b.c.d = 1; }'
error: attribute 'a.b' already defined at «string»:1:3
at «string»:1:12:
1| { a.b = 1; a.b.c.d = 1;
| ^
```
instead of
```ShellSession
$ nix eval --expr '{ a.b = 1; a.b.c.d = 1; }'
error: attribute 'a.b.c.d' already defined at «string»:1:3
synopsis: fix duplicate attribute error positions for `inherit`
prs: 9874
---
When an inherit caused a duplicate attribute error the position of the error was not reported correctly, placing the error with the inherit itself or at the start of the bindings block instead of the offending attribute name.
synopsis: "`inherit (x) ...` evaluates `x` only once"
prs: 9847
---
`inherit (x) a b ...` now evaluates the expression `x` only once for all inherited attributes rather than once for each inherited attribute.
This does not usually have a measurable impact, but side-effects (such as `builtins.trace`) would be duplicated and expensive expressions (such as derivations) could cause a measurable slowdown.

Lix supports remote builds, where a local Lix installation can forward
