2024-07-20libexpr: rename confusing makeImmutableString -> gcCopyStringIfNeededQyriad
The purpose of this function has little to do with immutability. Value's strings are never mutated, and the point of this function is to singleton empty strings. Change-Id: Ifd41dd952409d54e4d3de9ab59064e6928b0e480

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.

2024-06-06build: expose option to enable or disable precompiled std headersQyriad
They are enabled by default, and Meson will also prints whether or not they're enabled at the bottom at the end of configuration. Change-Id: I48db238510bf9e74340b86f243f4bbe360794281
2024-05-31build: fix static linking with a hackQyriad
This causes libstore, libexpr, libfetchers, and libutil to be linked with -Wl,--whole-archive to executables, when building statically. libstore for the store backends, libexpr for the primops, libfetchers for the fetcher backends I assume(?), and libutil for the nix::logger initializer (which notably shows in pre-main constructors when HOME is not owned by the user. cursed.). This workaround should be removed when #359 is fixed. Fixes #306. Change-Id: Ie9ef0154e09a6ed97920ee8ab23810ca5e2de84c
2024-05-30build-time: remove 20% more by PCH'ing C++ stdlibJade Lovelace
It seems like someone implemented precompiled headers a long time ago and then it never got ported to meson or maybe didn't work at all. This is, however, blessedly easy to simply implement. I went looking for `#define` that could affect the result of precompiling the headers, and as far as I can tell we aren't doing any of that, so this should truly just be free build time savings. Previous state: Compilation (551 times): Parsing (frontend): 1302.1 s Codegen & opts (backend): 956.3 s New state: **** Time summary: Compilation (567 times): Parsing (frontend): 1123.0 s Codegen & opts (backend): 1078.1 s I wonder if the "regression" in codegen time is just doing the PCH operation a few times, because meson does it per-target.

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
2024-03-29meson: add missing explicit dependency on nlohmann_jsonWinter
Without this, the Meson setup won't bail out if nlohmann_json is missing, leading to subpar DX (and maybe worse, but I'm not entirely sure). Change-Id: I5913111060226b540dcf003257c99a08e84da0de
2024-03-29meson: install missing/generated headerseldritch horrors
one headers (args/root.hh) was simply missing, and the generated headers were not installed. not all of them *should* be installed either, only a select few (and sadly this needs a custom target for each one, it seems) Change-Id: I37b25517895d0e5e521abc1202fa65624de57ed1

2024-03-27Stop vendoring toml11Winter
We don't apply any patches to it, and vendoring it locks users into bugs (it hasn't been updated since its introduction in late 2021). Closes https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/164 Change-Id: Ied071c841fc30b0dfb575151afd1e7f66970fdb9
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
