Lowdown doesn't respect '.cols' exactly (maybe because of the
whitespace in front of each line), so adjust .cols a bit.
|
|
Use one of `get` or `getOr` instead which will either return a null-pointer (with a nicer error message) or a default value when the key is missing.
|
|
E.g. 'nixpkgs#glibc^dev,static' or 'nixpkgs#glibc^*'.

'nix profile install' will now install all outputs listed in the
package's meta.outputsToInstall attribute, or all outputs if that
attribute doesn't exist. This makes it behave consistently with
nix-env. Fixes #6385.
Furthermore, for consistency, all other 'nix' commands do this as
well. E.g. 'nix build' will build and symlink the outputs in
meta.outputsToInstall, defaulting to all outputs. Previously, it only
built/symlinked the first output. Note that this means that selecting
a specific output using attrpath selection (e.g. 'nix build
nixpkgs#libxml2.dev') no longer works. A subsequent PR will add a way
to specify the desired outputs explicitly.

after #6218 `Symbol` no longer confers a uniqueness invariant on the
string it wraps, it is now possible to create multiple symbols that
compare equal but whose string contents have different addresses. this
guarantee is now only provided by `SymbolIdx`, leaving `Symbol` only as
a string wrapper that knows about the intricacies of how symbols need to
be formatted for output.
this change renames `SymbolIdx` to `Symbol` to restore the previous
semantics of `Symbol` to that name. we also keep the wrapper type and
rename it to `SymbolStr` instead of returning plain strings from lookups
into the symbol table because symbols are formatted for output in many
places. theoretically we do not need `SymbolStr`, only a function that
formats a string for output as a symbol, but having to wrap every symbol
that appears in a message into eg `formatSymbol()` is error-prone and
inconvient.

this slightly increases the amount of memory used for any given symbol, but this
increase is more than made up for if the symbol is referenced more than once in
the EvalState that holds it. on average every symbol should be referenced at
least twice (once to introduce a binding, once to use it), so we expect no
increase in memory on average.
symbol tables are limited to 2³² entries like position tables, and similar
arguments apply to why overflow is not likely: 2³² symbols would require as many
string instances (at 24 bytes each) and map entries (at 24 bytes or more each,
assuming that the map holds on average at most one item per bucket as the docs
say). a full symbol table would require at least 192GB of memory just for
symbols, which is well out of reach. (an ofborg eval of nixpks today creates
less than a million symbols!)

Pos objects are somewhat wasteful as they duplicate the origin file name and
input type for each object. on files that produce more than one Pos when parsed
this a sizeable waste of memory (one pointer per Pos). the same goes for
ptr<Pos> on 64 bit machines: parsing enough source to require 8 bytes to locate
a position would need at least 8GB of input and 64GB of expression memory. it's
not likely that we'll hit that any time soon, so we can use a uint32_t index to
locate positions instead.
|
|
only file and line of the returned position were ever used, it wasn't actually
used a position. as such we may as well use a path+int pair for only those two
values and remove a use of Pos that would not work well with a position table.

Don’t say that the derivation is CA as it might happen on a non-ca
derivation too.
Technically we could always recover _something_ for a purely
input-addressed derivation (like we already do when the `ca-derivations`
xp feature isn’t enabled), but it seems better to consistently fail −
the end-result wouldn’t really make sense anyways in most cases.

Shell completion improvements

Make InstallableFlake::toValue() and toDerivation() behave consistently
|
|
`nix eval`: Add option `--read-only`
|
|
In particular, this means that 'nix eval` (which uses toValue()) no
longer auto-calls functions or functors (because
AttrCursor::findAlongAttrPath() doesn't).
Fixes #6152.
Also use ref<> in a few places, and don't return attrpaths from
getCursor() because cursors already have a getAttrPath() method.
|
|
Instead get the outputs from Installable::build(). This will also
allow 'nix profile install' to support impure derivations.
Fixes #6286.

This function is like buildPaths(), except that it returns a vector of
BuildResults containing the exact statuses and output paths of each
derivation / substitution. This is convenient for functions like
Installable::build(), because they then don't need to do another
series of calls to get the outputs of CA derivations. It's also a
precondition to impure derivations, where we *can't* query the output
of those derivations since they're not stored in the Nix database.
Note that PathSubstitutionGoal can now also return a BuildStatus.

Requires moving the MixEvalArgs class from libexpr to libcmd because
that's where completeFlakeRef is.
|
|
Allows completing `nix build ~/flake#<Tab>`.
We can implement expansion for `~user` later if needed.
Not using wordexp(3) since that expands way too much.
|
|
Without this, completing `nix eval -f file.nix foo.<Tab>` suggests `bar`
instead of `foo.bar`, which messes up the command
|
|
|
|
Otherwise trying to complete `nix build foo#bar --update-input <Tab>`
fails with "unexpected fragment"
|
|
Make `nix build .#nix-armv8l-linux` work for example
|
|
Each `Error` class now includes a set of suggestions, and these are printed by
the top-level handler.

This is useful whenever we want to evaluate something to a store path
(e.g. in get-drvs.cc).
Extracted from the lazy-trees branch (where we can require that a
store path must come from a store source tree accessor).

This also simplifies some InstallableFlake logic and fixes 'nix
bundle' parsing its installable twice.
Fixes #5532.

This removes some duplicated logic, and fixes "nix bundle" parsing its
installable twice.

Fixes #5880.

At this point, we don’t know if the input is a flake or not. So, we
should allow the user to override the input with a directory without a
flake.nix.
Ideally, we could figure whether the input was originally a flake or
not, but that would require instantiating the whole flake. So just
allow it to be missing here, and rely on checks later on to verify the
input for us.

fixes: #5931

- Make passing the position to `forceValue` mandatory,
this way we remember people that the position is
important for better error messages
- Add pos to all `forceValue` calls
|
|
This is needed to get the path of a derivation that might not exist
(e.g. for 'nix store copy-log').
InstallableStorePath::toDerivedPaths() cannot be used for this because
it calls readDerivation(), so it fails if the store doesn't have the
derivation.

Fixes #5222.

Fix #5661

Rather than having them plain strings scattered through the whole
codebase, create an enum containing all the known experimental features.
This means that
- Nix can now `warn` when an unkwown experimental feature is passed
(making it much nicer to spot typos and spot deprecated features)
- It’s now easy to remove a feature altogether (once the feature isn’t
experimental anymore or is dropped) by just removing the field for the
enum and letting the compiler point us to all the now invalid usages
of it.

I had started the trend of doing `std::visit` by value (because a type
error once mislead me into thinking that was the only form that
existed). While the optomizer in principle should be able to deal with
extra coppying or extra indirection once the lambdas inlined, sticking
with by reference is the conventional default. I hope this might even
improve performance.
