Stop-gap measure to fix #5975.

2022-01-22allocate a GC root value for the Value cache pointerpennae
keeping it as a simple data member means it won't be scanned by the GC, so eventually the GC will collect a cache that is still referenced (resulting in use-after-free of cache elements). fixes #5962
2022-01-21Fix exception handling around realisePath()Eelco Dolstra
This no longer worked correctly because 'path' is uninitialised when an exception occurs, leading to errors like … while importing '' at /nix/store/rrzz5b1pshvzh1437ac9nkl06br81lkv-source/flake.nix:352:13: So move the adding of the error context into realisePath().

This allows setting the commit-lockfile-summary option to a non-empty string to override the commit summary while leaving the body unchanged.

2022-01-14optimize removeAttrs builtinpennae
use a sorted array of symbols to be removed instead of a set. this saves a lot of memory allocations and slightly speeds up removal.
2022-01-13optimize unescapeStrpennae
mainly to avoid an allocation and a copy of a string that can be modified in place (ever since EvalState holds on to the buffer, not the generated parser itself). # before Benchmark 1: nix search --offline nixpkgs hello Time (mean ± σ): 571.7 ms ± 2.4 ms [User: 563.3 ms, System: 8.0 ms] Range (min … max): 566.7 ms … 579.7 ms 50 runs Benchmark 2: nix eval -f ../nixpkgs/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix Time (mean ± σ): 376.6 ms ± 1.0 ms [User: 345.8 ms, System: 30.5 ms] Range (min … max): 374.5 ms … 379.1 ms 50 runs Benchmark 3: nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system' Time (mean ± σ): 2.922 s ± 0.006 s [User: 2.707 s, System: 0.215 s] Range (min … max): 2.906 s … 2.934 s 50 runs # after Benchmark 1: nix search --offline nixpkgs hello Time (mean ± σ): 570.4 ms ± 2.8 ms [User: 561.3 ms, System: 8.6 ms] Range (min … max): 564.6 ms … 578.1 ms 50 runs Benchmark 2: nix eval -f ../nixpkgs/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix Time (mean ± σ): 375.4 ms ± 1.3 ms [User: 343.2 ms, System: 31.7 ms] Range (min … max): 373.4 ms … 378.2 ms 50 runs Benchmark 3: nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system' Time (mean ± σ): 2.925 s ± 0.006 s [User: 2.704 s, System: 0.219 s] Range (min … max): 2.910 s … 2.942 s 50 runs
2022-01-13avoid copies of parser input datapennae
when given a string yacc will copy the entire input to a newly allocated location so that it can add a second terminating NUL byte. since the parser is a very internal thing to EvalState we can ensure that having two terminating NUL bytes is always possible without copying, and have the parser itself merely check that the expected NULs are present. # before Benchmark 1: nix search --offline nixpkgs hello Time (mean ± σ): 572.4 ms ± 2.3 ms [User: 563.4 ms, System: 8.6 ms] Range (min … max): 566.9 ms … 579.1 ms 50 runs Benchmark 2: nix eval -f ../nixpkgs/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix Time (mean ± σ): 381.7 ms ± 1.0 ms [User: 348.3 ms, System: 33.1 ms] Range (min … max): 380.2 ms … 387.7 ms 50 runs Benchmark 3: nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system' Time (mean ± σ): 2.936 s ± 0.005 s [User: 2.715 s, System: 0.221 s] Range (min … max): 2.923 s … 2.946 s 50 runs # after Benchmark 1: nix search --offline nixpkgs hello Time (mean ± σ): 571.7 ms ± 2.4 ms [User: 563.3 ms, System: 8.0 ms] Range (min … max): 566.7 ms … 579.7 ms 50 runs Benchmark 2: nix eval -f ../nixpkgs/pkgs/development/haskell-modules/hackage-packages.nix Time (mean ± σ): 376.6 ms ± 1.0 ms [User: 345.8 ms, System: 30.5 ms] Range (min … max): 374.5 ms … 379.1 ms 50 runs Benchmark 3: nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system' Time (mean ± σ): 2.922 s ± 0.006 s [User: 2.707 s, System: 0.215 s] Range (min … max): 2.906 s … 2.934 s 50 runs

2022-01-13don't strdup tokens in the lexerpennae
every stringy token the lexer returns is turned into a Symbol and not used further, so we don't have to strdup. using a string_view is sufficient, but due to limitations of the current parser we have to use a POD type that holds the same information. gives ~2% on system build, 6% on search, 8% on parsing alone # before Benchmark 1: nix search --offline nixpkgs hello Time (mean ± σ): 610.6 ms ± 2.4 ms [User: 602.5 ms, System: 7.8 ms] Range (min … max): 606.6 ms … 617.3 ms 50 runs Benchmark 2: nix eval -f hackage-packages.nix Time (mean ± σ): 430.1 ms ± 1.4 ms [User: 393.1 ms, System: 36.7 ms] Range (min … max): 428.2 ms … 434.2 ms 50 runs Benchmark 3: nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system' Time (mean ± σ): 3.032 s ± 0.005 s [User: 2.808 s, System: 0.223 s] Range (min … max): 3.023 s … 3.041 s 50 runs # after Benchmark 1: nix search --offline nixpkgs hello Time (mean ± σ): 574.7 ms ± 2.8 ms [User: 566.3 ms, System: 8.0 ms] Range (min … max): 569.2 ms … 580.7 ms 50 runs Benchmark 2: nix eval -f hackage-packages.nix Time (mean ± σ): 394.4 ms ± 0.8 ms [User: 361.8 ms, System: 32.3 ms] Range (min … max): 392.7 ms … 395.7 ms 50 runs Benchmark 3: nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system' Time (mean ± σ): 2.976 s ± 0.005 s [User: 2.757 s, System: 0.218 s] Range (min … max): 2.966 s … 2.990 s 50 runs
2022-01-13move strings in derivationStrictpennae
the temporary will be discarded anyway, so we can move out of it and save many small allocations and copies.
2022-01-13avoid string copies in attrNames sort comparisonpennae
symbols can also be cast to string_view, which compares the same but doesn't require a copy of both symbol names on every comparison.
2022-01-13cache more often-used symbols for primopspennae
there's a few symbols in primops we can create once and pick them out of EvalState afterwards instead of creating them every time we need them. this gives almost 1% speedup to an uncached nix search.

avoid std::?stream overhead when it's not helpful
2022-01-12optimize ExprConcatStrings::evalpennae
constructing an ostringstream for non-string concats (like integer addition) is a small constant cost that we can avoid. for string concats we can keep all the string temporaries we get from coerceToString and concatenate them in one go, which saves a lot of intermediate temporaries and copies in ostringstream. we can also avoid copying the concatenated string again by directly allocating it in GC memory and moving ownership of the concatenated string into the target value. saves about 2% on system eval. before: Benchmark 1: nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system' Time (mean ± σ): 2.837 s ± 0.031 s [User: 2.562 s, System: 0.191 s] Range (min … max): 2.796 s … 2.892 s 20 runs after: Benchmark 1: nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system' Time (mean ± σ): 2.790 s ± 0.035 s [User: 2.532 s, System: 0.187 s] Range (min … max): 2.722 s … 2.836 s 20 runs

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.
2022-01-03add zipAttrsWith primoppennae
nixpkgs can save a good bit of eval memory with this primop. zipAttrsWith is used quite a bit around nixpkgs (eg in the form of recursiveUpdate), but the most costly application for this primop is in the module system. it improves the implementation of zipAttrsWith from nixpkgs by not checking an attribute multiple times if it occurs more than once in the input list, allocates less values and set elements, and just avoids many a temporary object in general. nixpkgs has a more generic version of this operation, zipAttrsWithNames, but this version is only used once so isn't suitable for being the base of a new primop. if it were to be used more we should add a second primop instead.

2021-12-28flake.cc: computeLocks: Only verify overrides when they could changeAlexander Bantyev
When we check for disappeared overrides, we can get "false positives" for follows and overrides which are defined in the dependencies of the flake we are locking, since they are not parsed by parseFlakeInputs. However, at that point we already know that the overrides couldn't have possible been changed if the input itself hasn't changed (since we check that oldLock->originalRef == *input.ref for the input's parent). So, to prevent this, only perform this check when it was possible that the flake changed (e.g. the flake we're locking, or a new input, or the input has changed and mustRefetch == true).
