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.

Allowing this is a potential security hole, since it allows the user
to specify parameters like 'local-nar-cache'.

experimental feature is enabled
This allows writing fallback code like
if builtins ? fetchClosure then
builtins.fetchClose { ... }
else
builtins.storePath ...

The advantage is that the resulting closure doesn't need to be signed,
so you don't need to configure any binary cache keys on the client.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This allows closures to be imported at evaluation time, without
requiring the user to configure substituters. E.g.
builtins.fetchClosure {
storePath = /nix/store/f89g6yi63m1ywfxj96whv5sxsm74w5ka-python3.9-sqlparse-0.4.2;
from = "https://cache.ngi0.nixos.org";
}

Decode string context straight to using StorePaths
|
|
I gather decoding happens on demand, so I hope don't think this should
have any perf implications one way or the other.

1. `DerivationOutput` now as the `std::variant` as a base class. And the
variants are given hierarchical names under `DerivationOutput`.
In 8e0d0689be797f9e42f9b43b06f50c1af7f20b4a @matthewbauer and I
didn't know a better idiom, and so we made it a field. But this sort
of "newtype" is anoying for literals downstream.
Since then we leaned the base class, inherit the constructors trick,
e.g. used in `DerivedPath`. Switching to use that makes this more
ergonomic, and consistent.
2. `store-api.hh` and `derivations.hh` are now independent.
In bcde5456cc3295061a0726881c3e441444dd6680 I swapped the dependency,
but I now know it is better to just keep on using incomplete types as
much as possible for faster compilation and good separation of
concerns.

fetchTree: Use isValidPath, add comment
|
|
|
|
This was introduced in #6174. However fetch{url,Tarball} are legacy
and we shouldn't have an undocumented attribute that does the same
thing as one that already exists ('sha256').
|
|
This switches addPath from `printStorePath` to `toRealPath`.
|
|
|
|
Also use std::string_view in a few more places.
|
|
This is more consistent with flake terminology.
|
|
we'll retain the old coerceToString interface that returns a string, but callers
that don't need the returned value to outlive the Value it came from can save
copies by using the new interface instead. for values that weren't stringy we'll
pass a new buffer argument that'll be used for storage and shouldn't be
inspected.
|
|
once a string has been forced we already have dynamic storage allocated for it,
so we can easily reuse that storage instead of copying.

Previously you had to remember to call value->attrs->sort() after
populating value->attrs. Now there is a BindingsBuilder helper that
wraps Bindings and ensures that sort() is called before you can use
it.
|
|
This was dropped in 10a8b5d for the migration from cpptoml to toml11 but
seems to be necessary for the attrsets to work correctly.
Fixes #5833
|
|
This makes sure that values parsed from TOML have a proper size. Using
e.g. `double` caused issues on i686 where the size of `double` (32bit)
was too small to accommodate some values.

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.

- This change applies to builtins.fetchurl and builtins.fetchTarball
- PoC: `let x = builtins.fetchurl x; in x`
- Before:
```bash
$ nix-instantiate --extra-experimental-features flakes --strict
error: infinite recursion encountered
```
- After:
```bash
$ nix-instantiate --extra-experimental-features flakes --strict
error: infinite recursion encountered
at /data/github/kamadorueda/nix/test.nix:1:9:
1| let x = builtins.fetchurl x; in x
| ^
```
Mentions: #3505

- This way we improve error messages
on infinite recursion
- Demo:
```nix
let x = builtins.fetchTree {
type = "git";
inherit x;
};
in x
```
- Before:
```bash
$ nix-instantiate --extra-experimental-features flakes --strict
error: infinite recursion encountered
```
- After:
```bash
$ nix-instantiate --extra-experimental-features flakes --strict
error: infinite recursion encountered
at /data/github/kamadorueda/nix/test.nix:3:10:
2| type = "git";
3| inherit x;
| ^
4| };
```
