2024-08-10README: clarify license to match documentationJade Lovelace
For years both the documentation and nixpkgs have said that CppNix is LGPL-2.1-or-later, not LGPL-2.1-only as is somewhat implied by the README. We are choosing to update the README to match the rest of the references. Related: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/5218 Change-Id: I6a765ae7857a2f84872f80a25983c4c4b2b3b1c1
2024-08-10libutil: deal with Linux systems that do not implement close_rangeJade Lovelace
Seems a little bit Rich that musl does not implement close_range because they suspect that the system call itself is a bad idea, so they uhhhh are considering not implementing a wrapper. Let's just fix the problem at hand by writing our own wrapper. Change-Id: I1f8e5858e4561d58a5450503d9c4585aded2b216
2024-08-10nix: remove explosions if you have a window size less than fourJade Lovelace
Turns out strings do not like being resized to -4. This was discovered while messing with the tests to remove unbuffer and trying stdbuf instead. Turns out that was not the right approach. This basically rewrites the handling of this case to be much more correct, and fixes a bug where with small window sizes where it would ALSO truncate the attr names in addition to the optional descriptions. Change-Id: Ifd1beeaffdb47cbb5f4a462b183fcb6c0ff6c524
2024-08-10build: remove expect as a dependencyJade Lovelace
I was packaging Lix 2.91 for nixpkgs and was annoyed at the expect dependency. Turns out that you can replace unbuffer with a pretty-short Python script. It became less short after I found out that Linux was converting \n to \r\n in the terminal subsystem, which was not very funny, but is at least solved by twiddling termios bits.

2024-08-10fix: check if it is a Real terminal, not just if it is a terminalJade Lovelace
This will stop printing stuff to dumb terminals that they don't support. I've overall audited usage of isatty and replaced the ones with intent to mean "is a Real terminal" with checking for that. I've also caught a case of carelessly assuming "is a tty" means "should be colour" in nix-env. Change-Id: I6d83725d9a2d932ac94ff2294f92c0a1100d23c9
2024-08-09package: remove unused autotools code, empty fileJade Lovelace
I noticed there was some stuff setting configureFlags that definitely do not do anything with meson, so let's rip them out. As for the empty file, it was added when I was thinking I needed a fake C++ target to convince meson to create the necessary dependencies. That was not in fact possible so it should have never been committed. Change-Id: Ied4723d8a5d21aed85f352c48b080ab2c977a496
2024-08-09version: update, and add codenameJade Lovelace
We're going for Dragon's Breath because horrors called dibs on it. It's fine to merge this a little before the final release, since all the dev versions have -pre in them anyway. Change-Id: I763acb2fc1bf76030f7feaed983addf6ae2fdd53

2024-08-09rl-next: fix incorrect CL list syntaxJade Lovelace
This also fixes the script to not pass pre-commit by failing to parse an int if this mistake is made again. Change-Id: I714369f515dc9987cf0c600d54a2ac745ba56830
2024-08-09libutil: rename and optimize closeMostFDseldritch horrors
this is only used to close non-stdio files in derivation sandboxes. we may as well encode that in its name, drop the unnecessary integer set, and use close_range to deal with the actual closing of files. not only is this clearer, it also makes sandbox setup on linux fast by 1ms each Change-Id: Id90e259a49c7bc896189e76bfbbf6ef2c0bcd3b2
2024-08-09libstore: deprecate the build-hook settingeldritch horrors
implementing a build hook is pretty much impossible without either being a nix, or blindly forwarding the important bits of all build requests to some kind of nix. we've found no uses of build-hook in the wild, and the build-hook protocol (apart from being entirely undocumented) is not able to convey any kind of versioning information between hook and daemon. if we want to upgrade this infrastructure (which we do), this must not stay Change-Id: I1ec4976a35adf8105b8ca9240b7984f8b91e147e

this is a bit of a hack, but it's apparently the cleanest way of doing this in the absence of any kind of priority/provenance information for values of some given setting. we'll need this to deprecate build-hook. Change-Id: I03644a9c3f17681c052ecdc610b4f1301266ab9e
2024-08-09main: require argv[0]eldritch horrors
sure, linux has been providing argv[0] by default for a while now. other OSes may not be as forthcoming though, and relying on the OS to create a world in which we can just make assumptions we could test for instead is unnecessarily lazy. we *could* default argv0, but that's a little silly. notably we abort instead of returning normally to avoid confusions where a caller interprets our exit status like a Worker build results bitmask.

2024-08-08clang-tidy: write a lint for charptr_castJade Lovelace
This lets us ensure that nobody is putting in new reinterpret_cast instances where they could safely use charptr_cast instead. Change-Id: I6358a3934c8133c7150042635843bdbb6b9218d4
2024-08-08sqlite: add a Use::fromStrNullableJade Lovelace
There were several usages of the raw sqlite primitives along with C style casts, seemingly because nobody thought to use an optional for getting a string or NULL. Let's fix this API given we already *have* a wrapper. Change-Id: I526cceedc2e356209d8fb62e11b3572282c314e8

2024-08-08util: implement charptr_castJade Lovelace
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. Change-Id: Ia4e2f1fa0c567123a96604ddadb3bdd7449660a4

2024-08-08tree-wide: fix a pile of lintsJade Lovelace
This: - Converts a bunch of C style casts into C++ casts. - Removes some very silly pointer subtraction code (which is no more or less busted on i686 than it began) - Fixes some "technically UB" that never had to be UB in the first place. - Makes finally follow the noexcept status of the inner function. Maybe in the future we should ban the function from not being noexcept, but that is not today. - Makes various locally-used exceptions inherit from std::exception.

This still has utterly unacceptably bad output format design that I would not inflict on anyone I like, but it *does* now exist, and you *can* find the errors in the log. Future work would obviously be to fix that and integrate the actual errors into Gerrit using codechecker or so.

2024-08-07releng: fix the git pushJade Lovelace
This was broken because gerrit requires that the revision actually is known before it is pushed as a tag. Also, arguably this fixes the original problem mentioned in https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/439 Change-Id: I0373ac01584440f18d32b8da5699bb359cc2c89a
2024-08-07releng: clarify/update docs, add instructions after tagJade Lovelace
This is not a proper fix for the confusion that can happen about how the tags are supposed to be used. For a proper fix, we need to do https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/439 and implement worktrees such that the user never sees the git state anymore.

2024-08-07Fix is_maintenance_branch heuristicJade Lovelace
This was broken because Nix language's version comparison does not know how to deal with versions like -rc1 and considers them newer, which is in this case not desirable. That in turn led to not tagging 2.90.0 docker images as "latest" since the heuristic was wrong. This commit also adds some more cross-checking and failsafes in case the person running releng does not have a local main branch that is up to date.

2024-08-07libexpr/parser: Test experimental featurespiegames
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.

I don't know why but I was getting a spurious -Werror=switch-enum inside toml11. It does not make sense why it did not occur before, but it should be stopped. This was not done at an earlier stage to better match the legacy make build system, but we don't use it anyway. Change-Id: I636f8a71e8a0ba5e0feb80b435ae24c3af995c5d

I have a relatively high confidence this *will* fix the problem since I have manually confirmed the behaviour of the libproc call is as-unexpected, and it would perfectly explain the observed symptom.
