2024-06-17libexpr: add expr memory managementeldritch horrors
with the prepatory work done this mostly means turning plain pointers into unique_ptrs, with all the associated churn that necessitates. we might want to change some of these to box_ptrs at some point as well, but that would be a semantic change that isn't fully appropriate yet.

2024-05-29Remove 100s of CPU time (10%) from build times (1465s -> 1302s)Jade Lovelace
I saw that boost/lexical_cast was costing about 100s in CPU time on our compiles. We can fix this trivially by doing explicit template instantiation in exactly one place and eliminating all other includes of it, which is a code improvement anyway by hiding the boost.

2024-03-20libexpr: unbreak PosTable performanceeldritch horrors
this was mostly an inconvenience for error reporting, but fully broke the debugger (because the debugger does *a lot* of eager position resolution). copying the line offsets into a local and filling that local when empty without also storing the calculated offsets back does kind of ... not cache anything. fixes https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/165 Change-Id: Iccb0ba193ce2f15c832978daecf7b9bebbbe8585
2024-03-18libexpr: associate let exprs with the correct StaticEnveldritch horrors
static env association is from expr to its enclosing scope, but let exprs set their association to their *inner* scope. this skips one level of envs and will cause segfaults if the parent is a with expr. fixes #145 Change-Id: I1d22146110f071ede21b4eed7ed34b5850ef2ef3
2024-03-18use byte indexed locations for PosIdxeldritch horrors
we now keep not a table of all positions, but a table of all origins and their sizes. position indices are now direct pointers into the virtual concatenation of all parsed contents. this slightly reduces memory usage and time spent in the parser, at the cost of not being able to report positions if the total input size exceeds 4GiB. this limit is not unique to nix though, rustc and clang also limit their input to 4GiB (although at least clang refuses to process inputs that are larger, we will not). this new 4GiB limit probably will not cause any problems for quite a while, all of nixpkgs together is less than 100MiB in size and already needs over 700MiB of memory and multiple seconds just to parse. 4GiB worth of input will easily take multiple minutes and over 30GiB of memory without even evaluating anything. if problems *do* arise we can probably recover the old table-based system by adding some tracking to Pos::Origin (or increasing the size of PosIdx outright), but for time being this looks like more complexity than it's worth. since we now need to read the entire input again to determine the line/column of a position we'll make unsafeGetAttrPos slightly lazy: mostly the set it returns is only used to determine the file of origin of an attribute, not its exact location. the thunks do not add measurable runtime overhead. notably this change is necessary to allow changing the parser since apparently nothing supports nix's very idiosyncratic line ending choice of "anything goes", making it very hard to calculate line/column positions in the parser (while byte offsets are very easy).

2024-03-18normalize formal order on ExprLambda::showeldritch horrors
we already normalize attr order to lexicographic, doing the same for formals makes sense. doubly so because the order of formals would otherwise depend on the context of the expression, which is not quite as useful as one might expect.

2024-03-10evaluate inherit (from) exprs only once per directiveeldritch horrors
desugaring inherit-from to syntactic duplication of the source expr also duplicates side effects of the source expr (such as trace calls) and expensive computations (such as derivationStrict).

2024-03-10group inherit by source during Expr::showeldritch horrors
for plain inherits this is really just a stylistic choice, but for inherit-from it actually fixes an exponential size increase problem during expr printing (as may happen during assertion failure reporting, on during duplicate attr detection in the parser) (cherry picked from commit ecf8b12d60ad2929f9998666cf0966475b91e291) Change-Id: Ie55f0cb01a37e766414c31f8d40f51c2c7d106b0

2024-03-09libexpr: Support structured error classeseldritch horrors
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`.

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

This makes the position object used in exceptions abstract, with a method getSource() to get the source code of the file in which the error originated. This is needed for lazy trees because source files don't necessarily exist in the filesystem, and we don't want to make libutil depend on the InputAccessor type in libfetcher.

2022-04-25rename SymbolIdx -> Symbol, Symbol -> SymbolStrpennae
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.
2022-04-21store Symbols in a table as well, like positionspennae
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!)
2022-04-21replace most Pos objects/ptrs with indexes into a position tablepennae
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.
2022-04-21remove Symbol::emptypennae
the only use of this function is to determine whether a lambda has a non-set formal, but this use is arguably better served by Symbol::set and using a non-Symbol instead of an empty symbol in the parser when no such formal is present.
