The motivation is as stated in issue #7814: even though the the C++ API
is internal and unstable, people still want it to be well documented for
sake of learning, code review, and other purposes that aren't predicated
on it being stable.
Fixes #7814

Building without tests is useful for bootstrapping with a smaller footprint
or running the tests in a separate derivation. Otherwise, we do compile and
run them.
This isn't fine grained as to allow picking `check` but not `installcheck`
or vice versa, but it's good enough for now.
I've tried to use Nixpkgs' `checkInputs`, but those inputs weren't discovered
properly by the configure script. We can emulate its behavior very well though.

Nixpkgs on aarch64-linux is currently stuck on GCC 9
(https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/208412) and using gcc11Stdenv
doesn't work either.
So use c++2a instead of c++20 for now. Unfortunately this means we
can't use some C++20 features for now (like std::span).

* libexpr: fix builtins.split example
The example was previously indicating that multiple whitespaces would be
collapsed into a single captured whitespace. That isn't true and was
likely a mistake when being documented initially.
* Fix segfault on unitilized list when printing value
Since lists are just chunks of memory the individual elements in the
list might be unitilized when a programming error happens within Nix.
In this case the values are null-initialized (at least with Boehm GC)
and we can avoid a nullptr deref when printing them.
I ran into this issue while ensuring that new expression tests would
show the actual value on an assertion failure.
This is unlikely to cause any runtime performance regressions as
printing values is not really in the hot path (unless the repl is the
primary use case).
* Add operator<< for ValueTypes
* Add libexpr tests
This introduces tests for libexpr that evalulate various trivial Nix
language expressions and primop invocations that should be good smoke
tests wheter or not the implementation is behaving as expected.

gives 2-5% performance improvement across a board of tests.
LTO is broken when using clang; some libs link fine while others crash
the linker with a segfault in the llvm linker plugin. š

These headers are included by the libexpr, libfetchers, libstore
and libutil headers.
Considering that these are vendored sources, Nix should expose them,
as it is not a good idea for reverse dependencies to rely on a
potentially different source that can go out of sync.

Issue #5322.

This is only rudimentary support as allowed by `NIX_GET_COMPLETIONS`.
In the future, we could use completeās `--wraps` argument to autocomplete arguments for programs after `nix shell -c`.

This makes the statically linked nix binary just work, without needing
any additional files.

Otherwise the build is cluttered with
```
/nix/store/fwpn2f7a4iqszyydw7ag61zlnp6xk5d3-glibc-2.30-dev/include/features.h:382:4: warning: #warning _FORTIFY_SOURCE requires compiling with optimization (-O) [-Wcpp]
382 | # warning _FORTIFY_SOURCE requires compiling with optimization (-O)
| ^~~~~~~
```
when building with `OPTIMIZE=0`
|
|
|
|
On nix-env -qa -f '<nixpkgs>', this reduces maximum RSS by 20970 KiB
and runtime by 0.8%. This is mostly because we're not parsing the hash
part as a hash anymore (just validating that it consists of base-32
characters).
Also, replace storePathToHash() by StorePath::hashPart().

This is a proof on concept to evaluate writing unit tests for Nix using
google test (https://github.com/google/googletest).
In order to execute tests:
$ make unit-tests
$ ./unit-tests
The Makefile rules for `unit-tests` is a complete hack.

This provides a pluggable mechanism for defining new fetchers. It adds
a builtin function 'fetchTree' that generalizes existing fetchers like
'fetchGit', 'fetchMercurial' and 'fetchTarball'. 'fetchTree' takes a
set of attributes, e.g.
fetchTree {
type = "git";
url = "https://example.org/repo.git";
ref = "some-branch";
rev = "abcdef...";
}
The existing fetchers are just wrappers around this. Note that the
input attributes to fetchTree are the same as flake input
specifications and flake lock file entries.
All fetchers share a common cache stored in
~/.cache/nix/fetcher-cache-v1.sqlite. This replaces the ad hoc caching
mechanisms in fetchGit and download.cc (e.g. ~/.cache/nix/{tarballs,git-revs*}).
This also adds support for Git worktrees (c169ea59049f861aaba429f48b828d0820b74d1d).

This reverts commit 717e821b99797845e1bef47d862f8cb0fb69cfc9. It's
much more convenient to do 'make OPTIMIZE=0'.

This cuts 'make install -j6' on my laptop from 170s to 134s.

As is normal for autoconf-based projects.
For example, it is a common use case to do
./configure CXXFLAGS=-O0
This did not work for nix until now, because the `CXXFLAGS=` declaration
would unconditionally erase what the user had specified.
The custom `OPTIMIZE` flag is removed, but the default `-O3` is retained;
autoconf would default to `-g -O2` by default otherwise as documented on:
https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.60/html_node/C-Compiler.html

These are all symlinks to 'nix' now, reducing the installed size by
about ~1.7 MiB.
|
|
ask autotools for c++14 support flags, not c++11; don't override later
|
|
|
|
This avoids sandbox annoyances.
|
|
Note that this only requires headers from boost so it doesn't add a
runtime dependency.
Also, use Nixpkgs 18.03.
|
|
All plugins in plugin-files will be dlopened, allowing them to
statically construct instances of the various Register* types Nix
supports.

This removes the file nix-mode.el from Nix. The file is now available within the
repository https://github.com/NixOS/nix-mode.

NOTE: all of the above should be fixed within NixOS/nix-mode. If one of those
hasnāt please reopen within NixOS/nix-mode and not within NixOS/nix.

Because config.h can #define things like _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and not
every compilation unit includes config.h, we currently compile half of
Nix with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and other half with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
unset. This causes major havoc with the Settings class on e.g. 32-bit ARM,
where different compilation units disagree with the struct layout.
