2024-09-25main: log stack traces for std::terminateJade Lovelace
These stack traces kind of suck for the reasons mentioned on the CppTrace page here (no symbols for inline functions is a major one): https://github.com/jeremy-rifkin/cpptrace I would consider using CppTrace if it were packaged, but to be honest, I think that the more reasonable option is actually to move entirely to out-of-process crash handling and symbolization. The reason for this is that if you want to generate anything of substance on SIGSEGV or really any deadly signal, you are stuck in async-signal-safe land, which is not a place to be trying to run a symbolizer. LLVM does it anyway, probably carefully, and chromium *can* do it on debug builds but in general uses crashpad: https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:base/debug/stack_trace_posix.cc;l=974;drc=82dff63dbf9db05e9274e11d9128af7b9f51ceaa;bpv=1;bpt=1 However, some stack traces are better than *no* stack traces when we get mystery exceptions falling out the bottom of the program. I've also promoted the path for "mystery exceptions falling out the bottom of the program" to hard crash and generate a core dump because although there's been some months since the last one of these, these are nonetheless always *atrociously* diagnosed. We can't improve the crash handling further until either we use Crashpad (which involves more C++ deps, no thanks) or we put in the ostensibly work in progress Rust minidump infrastructure, in which case we need to finish full support for Rust in libutil first. Sample report: Lix crashed. This is a bug. We would appreciate if you report it at https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues with the following information included: Exception: std::runtime_error: lol Stack trace: 0# nix::printStackTrace() in /home/jade/lix/lix3/build/src/nix/../libutil/liblixutil.so 1# 0x000073C9862331F2 in /home/jade/lix/lix3/build/src/nix/../libmain/liblixmain.so 2# 0x000073C985F2E21A in /nix/store/p44qan69linp3ii0xrviypsw2j4qdcp2-gcc-13.2.0-lib/lib/libstdc++.so.6 3# 0x000073C985F2E285 in /nix/store/p44qan69linp3ii0xrviypsw2j4qdcp2-gcc-13.2.0-lib/lib/libstdc++.so.6 4# nix::handleExceptions(std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&, std::function<void ()>) in /home/jade/lix/lix3/build/src/nix/../libmain/liblixmain.so 5# 0x00005CF65B6B048B in /home/jade/lix/lix3/build/src/nix/nix 6# 0x000073C985C8810E in /nix/store/dbcw19dshdwnxdv5q2g6wldj6syyvq7l-glibc-2.39-52/lib/libc.so.6 7# __libc_start_main in /nix/store/dbcw19dshdwnxdv5q2g6wldj6syyvq7l-glibc-2.39-52/lib/libc.so.6 8# 0x00005CF65B610335 in /home/jade/lix/lix3/build/src/nix/nix Change-Id: I1a9f6d349b617fd7145a37159b78ecb9382cb4e9
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
2024-05-30build-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

2024-03-22build: 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
