Use `std::set<StringContextElem>` not `PathSet` for string contexts
2023-04-21Use `std::set<StringContextElem>` not `PathSet` for string contextsJohn Ericson
Motivation `PathSet` is not correct because string contexts have other forms (`Built` and `DrvDeep`) that are not rendered as plain store paths. Instead of wrongly using `PathSet`, or "stringly typed" using `StringSet`, use `std::std<StringContextElem>`. ----- In support of this change, `NixStringContext` is now defined as `std::std<StringContextElem>` not `std:vector<StringContextElem>`. The old definition was just used by a `getContext` method which was only used by the eval cache. It can be deleted altogether since the types are now unified and the preexisting `copyContext` function already suffices. Summarizing the previous paragraph: Old: - `value/context.hh`: `NixStringContext = std::vector<StringContextElem>` - `value.hh`: `NixStringContext Value::getContext(...)` - `value.hh`: `copyContext(...)` New: - `value/context.hh`: `NixStringContext = std::set<StringContextElem>` - `value.hh`: `copyContext(...)` ---- The string representation of string context elements no longer contains the store dir. The diff of `src/libexpr/tests/value/context.cc` should make clear what the new representation is, so we recommend reviewing that file first. This was done for two reasons: Less API churn: `Value::mkString` and friends did not take a `Store` before. But if `NixStringContextElem::{parse, to_string}` *do* take a store (as they did before), then we cannot have the `Value` functions use them (in order to work with the fully-structured `NixStringContext`) without adding that argument. That would have been a lot of churn of threading the store, and this diff is already large enough, so the easier and less invasive thing to do was simply make the element `parse` and `to_string` functions not take the `Store` reference, and the easiest way to do that was to simply drop the store dir. Space usage: Dropping the `/nix/store/` (or similar) from the internal representation will safe space in the heap of the Nix programming being interpreted. If the heap contains many strings with non-trivial contexts, the saving could add up to something significant. ---- The eval cache version is bumped. The eval cache serialization uses `NixStringContextElem::{parse, to_string}`, and since those functions are changed per the above, that means the on-disk representation is also changed. This is simply done by changing the name of the used for the eval cache from `eval-cache-v4` to eval-cache-v5`. ---- To avoid some duplication `EvalCache::mkPathString` is added to abstract over the simple case of turning a store path to a string with just that string in the context. Context This PR picks up where #7543 left off. That one introduced the fully structured `NixStringContextElem` data type, but kept `PathSet context` as an awkward middle ground between internal `char[][]` interpreter heap string contexts and `NixStringContext` fully parsed string contexts. The infelicity of `PathSet context` was specifically called out during Nix team group review, but it was agreeing that fixing it could be left as future work. This is that future work. A possible follow-up step would be to get rid of the `char[][]` evaluator heap representation, too, but it is not yet clear how to do that. To use `NixStringContextElem` there we would need to get the STL containers to GC pointers in the GC build, and I am not sure how to do that. ---- PR #7543 effectively is writing the inverse of a `mkPathString`, `mkOutputString`, and one more such function for the `DrvDeep` case. I would like that PR to have property tests ensuring it is actually the inverse as expected. This PR sets things up nicely so that reworking that PR to be in that more elegant and better tested way is possible.

2023-04-18Make "NAR info file is corrupt" messages more informativeMichal Sojka
Recently, I encountered the "NAR info file 'xxxx' is corrupt" error with my binary cache. The message is not helpful in determining, which kind of corruption happened. The file, fetched with curl, looked reasonably. This commit adds more information to the error message, which should allow debugging and hopefully fixing the problem.

Fix some issues with experimental config settings
2023-04-17Experimentally allow forcing `nix-daemon` trust; use this to testJohn Ericson
We finally test the status quo of remote build trust in a number of ways. We create a new experimental feature on `nix-daemon` to do so. PR #3921, which improves the situation with trustless remote building, will build upon these changes. This code / tests was pull out of there to make this, so everything is easier to review, and in particular we test before and after so the new behavior in that PR is readily apparent from the testsuite diff alone.
2023-04-17Fix some issues with experimental config settingsJohn Ericson
Issues: 1. Features gated on disabled experimental settings should warn and be ignored, not silently succeed. 2. Experimental settings in the same config "batch" (file or env var) as the enabling of the experimental feature should work. 3. For (2), the order should not matter. These are analogous to the issues @roberth caught with my changes for arg handling, but they are instead for config handling. Co-authored-by: Robert Hensing <roberth@users.noreply.github.com>

2023-04-15Introduce `SingleDrvOutputs`John Ericson
In many cases we are dealing with a collection of realisations, they are all outputs of the same derivation. In that case, we don't need "derivation hashes modulos" to be part of our map key, because the output names alone will be unique. Those hashes are still part of the realisation proper, so we aren't loosing any information, we're just "normalizing our schema" by narrowing the "primary key". Besides making our data model a bit "tighter" this allows us to avoid a double `for` loop in `DerivationGoal::waiteeDone`. The inner `for` loop was previously just to select the output we cared about without knowing its hash. Now we can just select the output by name directly. Note that neither protocol is changed as part of this: we are still transferring `DrvOutputs` over the wire for `BuildResult`s. I would only consider revising this once #6223 is merged, and we can mention protocol versions inside factored-out serialization logic. Until then it is better not change anything because it would come a the cost of code reuse.
2023-04-15Make restarting state machines explicitJohn Ericson
If my memory is correct, @edolstra objected to modifying `wantedOutputs` upon falling back to doing a build (as we did before), because we should only modify it in response to new requests --- *actual* wants --- and not because we are "incidentally" building all the outptus beyond what may have been requested. That's a fair point, and the alternative is to replace the boolean soup with proper enums: Instead of modifying `wantedOuputs` som more, we'll modify `needsRestart` to indicate we are passed the need.
2023-04-15Make `KeyedBuildResult`, `BuildResult` like before, and fix bug another wayJohn Ericson
In https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6311#discussion_r834863823, I realized since derivation goals' wanted outputs can "grow" due to overlapping dependencies (See `DerivationGoal::addWantedOutputs`, called by `Worker::makeDerivationGoalCommon`), the previous bug fix had an unfortunate side effect of causing more pointless rebuilds. In paticular, we have this situation: 1. Goal made from `DerivedPath::Built { foo, {a} }`. 2. Goal gives on on substituting, starts building. 3. Goal made from `DerivedPath::Built { foo, {b} }`, in fact is just modified original goal. 4. Though the goal had gotten as far as building, so all outputs were going to be produced, `addWantedOutputs` no longer knows that and so the goal is flagged to be restarted. This might sound far-fetched with input-addressed drvs, where we usually basically have all our goals "planned out" before we start doing anything, but with CA derivation goals and especially RFC 92, where *drv resolution* means goals are created after some building is completed, it is more likely to happen. So the first thing to do was restore the clearing of `wantedOutputs` we used to do, and then filter the outputs in `buildPathsWithResults` to only get the ones we care about. But fix also has its own side effect in that the `DerivedPath` in the `BuildResult` in `DerivationGoal` cannot be trusted; it is merely the *first* `DerivedPath` for which this goal was originally created. To remedy this, I made `BuildResult` be like it was before, and instead made `KeyedBuildResult` be a subclass wit the path. Only `buildPathsWithResults` returns `KeyedBuildResult`s, everything else just becomes like it was before, where the "key" is unambiguous from context. I think separating the "primary key" field(s) from the other fields is good practical in general anyways. (I would like to do the same thing for `ValidPathInfo`.) Among other things, it allows constructions like `std::map<Key, ThingWithKey>` where doesn't contain duplicate keys and just precludes the possibility of those duplicate keys being out of sync. We might leverage the above someday to overload `buildPathsWithResults` to take a *set* of return a *map* per the above. ----- Unfortunately, we need to avoid C++20 strictness on designated initializers. (BTW https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2021/p2287r1.html this offers some new syntax for this use-case. Hopefully this will be adopted and we can eventually use it.) No having that yet, maybe it would be better to not make `KeyedBuildResult` a subclass to just avoid this. Co-authored-by: Robert Hensing <roberth@users.noreply.github.com>

This takes a `DerivedPath` so the caller doesn't need to care about which sort of goal does what.

2023-04-14Legacy vs non-legacy `to_string`/`parse` for `DerivedPath`John Ericson
As requested by @roberth, it is good to call out the specific instances we care about, which is `!` for the RPC protocols, and `^` for humans. This doesn't take advantage of parametricity as much, but since the human and computer interfaces are good to decouple anyways (we don't care if they drift further apart over time in the slightest) some separation and slight duplication is fine. Also, unit test both round trips.
