2022-11-18createTempDir(): Use std::atomicEelco Dolstra
2022-08-03Make `moveFile` more atomicThéophane Hufschmitt
Rather than directly copying the source to its dest, copy it first to a temporary location, and eventually move that temporary. That way, the move is at least atomic from the point-of-view of the destination
2022-08-03Only use `renameFile` where neededThéophane Hufschmitt
In most places the fallback to copying isn’t needed and can actually be bad, so we’d rather not transparently fallback
2022-08-03moveFile -> renameFileThéophane Hufschmitt
`move` tends to have this `mv` connotation of “I will copy it for you if needs be”
2022-08-03Re-implement the recursive directory copyThéophane Hufschmitt
The recursive copy from the stl doesn’t exactly do what we need because 1. It doesn’t delete things as we go 2. It doesn’t keep the mtime, which change the nars So re-implement it ourselves. A bit dull, but that way we have what we want
2022-08-03rename: Fallback to a copy if the filesystems mismatchThéophane Hufschmitt
In `nix::rename`, if the call to `rename` fails with `EXDEV` (failure because the source and the destination are in a different filesystems) switch to copying and removing the source. To avoid having to re-implement the copy manually, I switched the function to use the c++17 `filesystem` library (which has a `copy` function that should do what we want). Fix #6262
2022-08-03Create a wrapper around stdlib’s `rename`Théophane Hufschmitt
Directly takes some c++ strings, and gently throws an exception on error (rather than having to inline this logic everywhere)
2022-08-03Move some fs-related functions to their own fileThéophane Hufschmitt
Unclutter `util.cc` a bit
