2024-08-28clang-tidy: fix the fact that we are not linting headers properlyJade Lovelace
This, however, took fixing a pile of lints that we predictably missed because of this bug. Change-Id: I92c36feb4a03f62bc594c2051c7bd7418d13fb08
2024-08-20build: build lix-doc with Meson! 🎉Qyriad
lix-doc is now built with Meson, with lix-doc's dependencies built as Meson subprojects, either fetched on demand with .wrap files, or fetched in advance by Nix with importCargoLock. It even builds statically. Fixes #256. Co-authored-by: Lunaphied <lunaphied@lunaphied.me> Co-authored-by: Jade Lovelace <lix@jade.fyi> Change-Id: I3a4731ff13278e7117e0316bc0d7169e85f5eb0c
2024-08-18build: limit clang-tidy concurrency and respect NIX_BUILD_CORESJade Lovelace
Apparently it was impolite to lint with 128 jobs on our CI machine with 128 threads. Let's fix it. Change-Id: I9ca7306294c6773c6f233690ba49d45a1da6bf7a
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
2024-08-04build: implement clang-tidy using our pluginJade Lovelace
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.

2024-06-25libexpr: rewrite the parser with pegtl instead of flex/bisoneldritch horrors
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.

2024-05-23packaging: rename nixexpr -> lixexpr and so onJade Lovelace
This breaks downstreams linking to us on purpose to make sure that if someone is linking to Lix they're doing it on purpose and crucially not mixing up Nix and Lix versions in compatibility code. We still need to fix the internal includes to follow the same schema so we can drop the single-level include system entirely. However, this requires a little more effort. This adds pkg-config for libfetchers and config.h. Migration path: expr.hh -> lix/libexpr/expr.hh nix/config.h -> lix/config.h To apply this migration automatically, remove all `<nix/>` from includes, so: `#include <nix/expr.hh>` -> `#include <expr.hh>`. Then, the correct paths will be resolved from the tangled mess, and the clang-tidy automated fix will work. Then run the following for out of tree projects: ``` lix_root=$HOME/lix (cd $lix_root/clang-tidy && nix develop -c 'meson setup build && ninja -C build') run-clang-tidy -checks='-*,lix-fixincludes' -load=$lix_root/clang-tidy/build/liblix-clang-tidy.so -p build/ -fix src ``` Related: https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/nix-eval-jobs/pulls/5 Fixes: https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/279 Change-Id: I7498e903afa6850a731ef8ce77a70da6b2b46966

The big ones here are `trim-trailing-whitespace` and `end-of-file-fixer` (which makes sure that every file ends with exactly one newline character). Change-Id: Idca73b640883188f068f9903e013cf0d82aa1123
2024-03-27meson: implement functional testsQyriad
Functional tests can be run with `meson test -C build --suite installcheck`. Notably, functional tests must be run *after* running `meson install` (Lix's derivation runs the installcheck suite in installCheckPhase so it does this correctly), due to some quirks between Meson and the testing system. As far as I can tell the functional tests are meant to be run after installing anyway, but unfortunately I can't transparently make `meson test --suite installcheck` depend on the install targets. The script that runs the functional tests, meson/run-test.py, checks that `meson install` has happened and fails fast with a (hopefully) helpful error message if any of the functional tests are run before installing. TODO: this change needs reflection in developer documentation Change-Id: I8dcb5fdfc0b6cb17580973d24ad930abd57018f6
2024-03-22build: optionally build and install with mesonQyriad
This commit adds several meson.build, which successfully build and install Lix executables, libraries, and headers. Meson does not yet build docs, Perl bindings, or run tests, which will be added in following commits. As such, this commit does not remove the existing build system, or make it the default, and also as such, this commit has several FIXMEs and TODOs as notes for what should be done before the existing autoconf + make buildsystem can be removed and Meson made the default. This commit does not modify any source files. A Meson-enabled build is also added as a Hydra job, and to `nix flake check`. Change-Id: I667c8685b13b7bab91e281053f807a11616ae3d4
