2021-06-23	Apply OS checks to host platform, not build	Alyssa Ross
	Previously, the build system used uname(1) output when it wanted to check the operating system it was being built for, which meant that it didn't take into-account cross-compilation when the build and host operating systems were different. To fix this, instead of consulting uname output, we consult the host triple, specifically the third "kernel" part. For "kernel"s with stable ABIs, like Linux or Cygwin, we can use a simple ifeq to test whether we're compiling for that system, but for other platforms, like Darwin, FreeBSD, or Solaris, we have to use a more complicated check to take into account the version numbers at the end of the "kernel"s. I couldn't find a way to just strip these version numbers in GNU Make without shelling out, which would be even more ugly IMO. Because these checks differ between kernels, and the patsubst ones are quite fiddly, I've added variables for each host OS we might want to check to make them easier to reuse.
2021-06-01	Only link with libdl on Linux	Alyssa Ross
	Linux is (as far as I know) the only mainstream operating system that requires linking with libdl for dlopen. On BSD, libdl doesn't exist, so on non-FreeBSD BSDs linking will currently fail. On macOS, it's apparently just a symlink to libSystem (macOS libc), presumably present for compatibility with things that assume Linux. So the right thing to do here is to only add -ldl on Linux, not to add it for everything that isn't FreeBSD.
2020-12-03	Remove 'dist' target	Eelco Dolstra
	We're not producing source tarballs anymore so this has been bitrotting.

2020-02-10	Remove macro_use	Leonhard Markert
	As of Rust 2018, macro_use is no longer required in most circumstances. I think it is generally a good idea to remove these when not needed, to stop them from polluting the crate's global namespace. https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/rust-2018/macros/macro-changes.html#macro_rules-style-macros

	From 1.03% to 0.19% of the runtime of 'nix-instantiate "<nixpkgs>" -A texlive.combined.scheme-full --dry-run'.
2019-12-10	Make the Store API more type-safe	Eelco Dolstra
	Most functions now take a StorePath argument rather than a Path (which is just an alias for std::string). The StorePath constructor ensures that the path is syntactically correct (i.e. it looks like <store-dir>/<base32-hash>-<name>). Similarly, functions like buildPaths() now take a StorePathWithOutputs, rather than abusing Path by adding a '!<outputs>' suffix. Note that the StorePath type is implemented in Rust. This involves some hackery to allow Rust values to be used directly in C++, via a helper type whose destructor calls the Rust type's drop() function. The main issue is the dynamic nature of C++ move semantics: after we have moved a Rust value, we should not call the drop function on the original value. So when we move a value, we set the original value to bitwise zero, and the destructor only calls drop() if the value is not bitwise zero. This should be sufficient for most types. Also lots of minor cleanups to the C++ API to make it more modern (e.g. using std::optional and std::string_view in some places).

2019-11-29	Make libnixrust a dynamic library	Eelco Dolstra
	This is a hack to fix the build on macOS, which was failing because libnixrust.a contains compiler builtins that clash with libclang_rt.osx.a. There's probably a better solution... https://hydra.nixos.org/build/107473280
