Combine `AbstractPos`, `PosAdapter`, and `Pos` (cherry picked from commit 113499d16fc87d53b73fb62fe6242154909756ed) === this is a bit cursed because originally it was based on InputAccessor code that we don't have and moved/patched features we likewise don't have (fetchToStore caching, all the individual accessors, ContentAddressMethod). the commit is adjusted accordingly to match (remove caching, ignore accessors, use FileIngestionMethod). note that `state.rootPath . CanonPath == abs` and computeStorePathForPath works relative to cwd, so the slight rewrite in the moved fetchToStore is legal. Change-Id: I05fd340c273f0bcc8ffabfebdc4a88b98083bce5
2023-08-10Make the Derived Path family of types inductive for dynamic derivationsJohn Ericson
We want to be able to write down `foo.drv^bar.drv^baz`: `foo.drv^bar.drv` is the dynamic derivation (since it is itself a derivation output, `bar.drv` from `foo.drv`). To that end, we create `Single{Derivation,BuiltPath}` types, that are very similar except instead of having multiple outputs (in a set or map), they have a single one. This is for everything to the left of the rightmost `^`. `NixStringContextElem` has an analogous change, and now can reuse `SingleDerivedPath` at the top level. In fact, if we ever get rid of `DrvDeep`, `NixStringContextElem` could be replaced with `SingleDerivedPath` entirely! Important note: some JSON formats have changed. We already can *produce* dynamic derivations, but we can't refer to them directly. Today, we can merely express building or example at the top imperatively over time by building `foo.drv^bar.drv`, and then with a second nix invocation doing `<result-from-first>^baz`, but this is not declarative. The ethos of Nix of being able to write down the full plan everything you want to do, and then execute than plan with a single command, and for that we need the new inductive form of these types.

2023-05-15Make more string values work as installablesJohn Ericson
As discussed in #7417, it would be good to make more string values work as installables. That is to say, if an installable refers to a value, and the value is a string, it used to not work at all, since #7484, it works somewhat, and this PR make it work some more. The new cases that are added for `BuiltPath` contexts: - Fixed input- or content-addressed derivation: ``` nix-repl> hello.out.outPath "/nix/store/jppfl2bp1zhx8sgs2mgifmsx6dv16mv2-hello-2.12" nix-repl> :p builtins.getContext hello.out.outPath { "/nix/store/c7jrxqjhdda93lhbkanqfs07x2bzazbm-hello-2.12.drv" = { outputs = [ "out" ]; }; } The string matches the specified single output of that derivation, so it should also be valid. - Floating content-addressed derivation: ``` nix-repl> (hello.overrideAttrs (_: { __contentAddressed = true; })).out.outPath "/1a08j26xqc0zm8agps8anxpjji410yvsx4pcgyn4bfan1ddkx2g0" nix-repl> :p builtins.getContext (hello.overrideAttrs (_: { __contentAddressed = true; })).out.outPath { "/nix/store/qc645pyf9wl37c6qvqzaqkwsm1gp48al-hello-2.12.drv" = { outputs = [ "out" ]; }; } ``` The string is not a path but a placeholder, however it also matches the context, and because it is a CA derivation we have no better option. This should also be valid. We may also want to think about richer attrset based values (also discussed in that issue and #6507), but this change "completes" our string-based building blocks, from which the others can be desugared into or at least described/document/taught in terms of.

2023-04-07Finish converting existing comments for internal API docs (#8146)John Ericson
* Finish converting existing comments for internal API docs 99% of this was just reformatting existing comments. Only two exceptions: - Expanded upon `BuildResult::status` compat note - Split up file-level `symbol-table.hh` doc comments to get per-definition docs Also fixed a few whitespace goofs, turning leading tabs to spaces and removing trailing spaces. Picking up from #8133 * Fix two things from comments * Use triple-backtick not indent for `dumpPath` * Convert GNU-style `\`..'` quotes to markdown style in API docs This will render correctly.
2023-03-16Move value-only methods to `InstallableValue`John Ericson
These methods would previously fail on the other `Installable`s, so moving them to this class is more correct as to where they actually work. Additionally, a `InstallableValueCommand` is created to make it easier (or rather no worse than before) to write commands that just work on `InstallableValue`s. Besides being a cleanup to avoid failing default methods, this gets us closer to https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/134.
