This didn't really feel so worth it afterwards, but I did untangle a
bunch of stuff that should not have been tangled.
The general gist of this change is that variant bullshit was causing a
bunch of compile time, and it seems like the only way to deal with
variant induced compile time is to keep variant types out of headers.
Explicit template instantiation seems to do nothing for them.
I also seem to have gotten some back-end time improvement from
explicitly instantiating regex, but I don't know why. There is no
corresponding front-end time improvement from it: regex is still at the
top of the sinners list.

They are like experimental features, but opt-in instead of opt-out. They
will allow us to gracefully remove language features. See #437
Change-Id: I9ca04cc48e6926750c4d622c2b229b25cc142c42
|

Currently, the parser relies on the global experimental feature flags.
In order to properly test conditional language features, we instead need
to pass it around in the parser::State.
This means that the parser cannot cache the result of isEnabled anymore,
which wouldn't necessarily hurt performance if the function didn't
perform a linear search on the list of enabled features on every single
call. While we could simply evaluate once at the start of parsing and
cache the result in the parser state, the more sustainable solution
would be to fix `isEnabled` such that all callers may profit from the
performance improvement.

Expose an option for disabling the BDW-GC build dependency entirely. Fix the
place where one of its headers was included (unnecessarily) without proper
guarding. Finally, use this machinery to exclude BDW-GC from the ASAN builds
entirely (its usage has already been disabled due to compatibility issues
anyway), to ensure this configuration is not regressed again.

While preparing PRs like #9753, I've had to change error messages in
dozens of code paths. It would be nice if instead of
EvalError("expected 'boolean' but found '%1%'", showType(v))
we could write
TypeError(v, "boolean")
or similar. Then, changing the error message could be a mechanical
refactor with the compiler pointing out places the constructor needs to
be changed, rather than the error-prone process of grepping through the
codebase. Structured errors would also help prevent the "same" error
from having multiple slightly different messages, and could be a first
step towards error codes / an error index.
This PR reworks the exception infrastructure in `libexpr` to
support exception types with different constructor signatures than
`BaseError`. Actually refactoring the exceptions to use structured data
will come in a future PR (this one is big enough already, as it has to
touch every exception in `libexpr`).
The core design is in `eval-error.hh`. Generally, errors like this:
state.error("'%s' is not a string", getAttrPathStr())
.debugThrow<TypeError>()
are transformed like this:
state.error<TypeError>("'%s' is not a string", getAttrPathStr())
.debugThrow()
The type annotation has moved from `ErrorBuilder::debugThrow` to
`EvalState::error`.

these symbols are used a *lot*, so it makes sense to cache them. this
mostly increases clarity of the code (however clear one may wish to call
the parser desugaring here), but it also provides a small performance
benefit.

Previously, there were two mostly-identical value printers -- one in
`libexpr/eval.cc` (which didn't force values) and one in
`libcmd/repl.cc` (which did force values and also printed ANSI color
codes).
This PR unifies both of these printers into `print.cc` and provides a
`PrintOptions` struct for controlling the output, which allows for
toggling whether values are forced, whether repeated values are tracked,
and whether ANSI color codes are displayed.
Additionally, `PrintOptions` allows tuning the maximum number of
attributes, list items, and bytes in a string that will be displayed;
this makes it ideal for contexts where printing too much output (e.g.
all of Nixpkgs) is distracting. (As requested by @roberth in
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9554#issuecomment-1845095735)
Please read the tests for example output.
Future work:
- It would be nice to provide this function as a builtin, perhaps
`builtins.toStringDebug` -- a printing function that never fails would
be useful when debugging Nix code.
- It would be nice to support customizing `PrintOptions` members on the
command line, e.g. `--option to-string-max-attrs 1000`.

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.

This function is now trivial enough that it doesn't need to exist.
`EvalState` can still be initialized with a custom search path, but we
don't have a need to mutate the search path after it has been
constructed, and I don't see why we would need to in the future.
Fixes #8229

`EvalState::mkSingleDerivedPathString` previously contained its own
inverse (printing, rather than parsing) in order to validate what was
parsed. Now that is pulled out into its own separate function:
`EvalState::coerceToSingleDerivedPath`.
In additional that pulled out logic is deduplicated with
`EvalState::mkOutputString` via `EvalState::mkOutputStringRaw`, which is
itself deduplicated (and generalized) with
`DownstreamPlaceholder::mkOutputStringRaw`.
All these changes make the unit tests simpler.
(We would ideally write more unit tests for `mkSingleDerivedPathString`
`coerceToSingleDerivedPath` directly, but we cannot yet do that because
the IO in reading the store path won't work when the dummy store cannot
hold anything. Someday we'll have a proper in-memory store which will
work for this.)

This choice of variable name makes it more clear what is going on.

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.

I got very confused trying to keep all the `first` and `second` straight
reading the code, *especially* as there is also another `(boolean,
string)` pair type also being used.
Named fields is much better.
There are other cleanups that we can do (for example, the existing
TODO), but we can do them later. Doing them now would just make this
harder to review.

Motivation
`PathSet` is not correct because string contexts have other forms
(`Built` and `DrvDeep`) that are not rendered as plain store paths.
Instead of wrongly using `PathSet`, or "stringly typed" using
`StringSet`, use `std::std<StringContextElem>`.
-----
In support of this change, `NixStringContext` is now defined as
`std::std<StringContextElem>` not `std:vector<StringContextElem>`. The
old definition was just used by a `getContext` method which was only
used by the eval cache. It can be deleted altogether since the types are
now unified and the preexisting `copyContext` function already suffices.
Summarizing the previous paragraph:
Old:
- `value/context.hh`: `NixStringContext = std::vector<StringContextElem>`
- `value.hh`: `NixStringContext Value::getContext(...)`
- `value.hh`: `copyContext(...)`
New:
- `value/context.hh`: `NixStringContext = std::set<StringContextElem>`
- `value.hh`: `copyContext(...)`
----
The string representation of string context elements no longer contains
the store dir. The diff of `src/libexpr/tests/value/context.cc` should
make clear what the new representation is, so we recommend reviewing
that file first. This was done for two reasons:
Less API churn:
`Value::mkString` and friends did not take a `Store` before. But if
`NixStringContextElem::{parse, to_string}` *do* take a store (as they
did before), then we cannot have the `Value` functions use them (in
order to work with the fully-structured `NixStringContext`) without
adding that argument.
That would have been a lot of churn of threading the store, and this
diff is already large enough, so the easier and less invasive thing to
do was simply make the element `parse` and `to_string` functions not
take the `Store` reference, and the easiest way to do that was to simply
drop the store dir.
Space usage:
Dropping the `/nix/store/` (or similar) from the internal representation
will safe space in the heap of the Nix programming being interpreted. If
the heap contains many strings with non-trivial contexts, the saving
could add up to something significant.
----
The eval cache version is bumped.
The eval cache serialization uses `NixStringContextElem::{parse,
to_string}`, and since those functions are changed per the above, that
means the on-disk representation is also changed.
This is simply done by changing the name of the used for the eval cache
from `eval-cache-v4` to eval-cache-v5`.
----
To avoid some duplication `EvalCache::mkPathString` is added to abstract
over the simple case of turning a store path to a string with just that
string in the context.
Context
This PR picks up where #7543 left off. That one introduced the fully
structured `NixStringContextElem` data type, but kept `PathSet context`
as an awkward middle ground between internal `char[][]` interpreter heap
string contexts and `NixStringContext` fully parsed string contexts.
The infelicity of `PathSet context` was specifically called out during
Nix team group review, but it was agreeing that fixing it could be left
as future work. This is that future work.
A possible follow-up step would be to get rid of the `char[][]`
evaluator heap representation, too, but it is not yet clear how to do
that. To use `NixStringContextElem` there we would need to get the STL
containers to GC pointers in the GC build, and I am not sure how to do
that.
----
PR #7543 effectively is writing the inverse of a `mkPathString`,
`mkOutputString`, and one more such function for the `DrvDeep` case. I
would like that PR to have property tests ensuring it is actually the
inverse as expected.
This PR sets things up nicely so that reworking that PR to be in that
more elegant and better tested way is possible.
