Eelco Dolstra 85c8be6286 Remove static variable name clashes
This was useful for an experiment with building Nix as a single
compilation unit. It's not very useful otherwise but also doesn't
hurt...

Lars Mühmel bc73590151 nix edit: call restoreSignals() before execvp-ing the $EDITOR
Currently resizing of the terminal doesn't play nicely with
nix edit when using kakoune as the editor, as it relies on the
SIGWINCH signal which is trapped by nix. How this is not a problem
with e.g. vim is beyond me.

Virtually all other exec* calls are following a call to
restoreSignals(). This commit adds this behavior to nix edit
as well.

Revert "Restore parent mount namespace before executing a child process"
This reverts commit a0ef21262f. This
doesn't work in 'nix run' and nix-shell because setns() fails in
multithreaded programs, and Boehm GC mark threads are uncancellable.

Fixes #2646.

Add "nix edit" command
This is a little convenience command that opens the Nix expression of
the specified package. For example,

  nix edit nixpkgs.perlPackages.Moose

opens <nixpkgs/pkgs/top-level/perl-packages.nix> in $EDITOR (at the
right line number for some editors).

This requires the package to have a meta.position attribute.
