2023-06-14Remove dead code (#8504)Daniel Asaturov
`filesystem.cc` is the only place where `createSymlink()` is used with three arguments: in the definition of `replaceSymlink()` with three parameters that _is not used at all_. Closes #8495

Documentation: list experimental features in manual
2023-04-07Require openssl >= 1.1.1Robert Hensing
Versions older this are sufficiently old that we don't want to support them, and they require extra support code.
2023-04-07libutil: Provide alternatives to startSignalHandlerThreadRobert Hensing
How signals should be handled depends on what kind of process Nix is integrated into. The signal handler thread used by the stand-alone Nix commands / processes may not work well in the context of other runtime systems, such as those of Python, Perl, or Haskell.
2023-04-07Move OpenSSL init to initLibUtilRobert Hensing
Part of an effort to make it easier to initialize the right things, by moving code into the appropriate libraries.
2023-04-07Finish converting existing comments for internal API docs (#8146)John Ericson
* Finish converting existing comments for internal API docs 99% of this was just reformatting existing comments. Only two exceptions: - Expanded upon `BuildResult::status` compat note - Split up file-level `symbol-table.hh` doc comments to get per-definition docs Also fixed a few whitespace goofs, turning leading tabs to spaces and removing trailing spaces. Picking up from #8133 * Fix two things from comments * Use triple-backtick not indent for `dumpPath` * Convert GNU-style `\`..'` quotes to markdown style in API docs This will render correctly.
2023-04-02Rework a few things with the experimental features listJohn Ericson
- Use struct not `std::pair`, designated initializers - Use `constexpr` array that we can index by enum tag - It no longer segfaults; not sure why.
2023-03-31Ensure all headers have `#pragma once` and are in API docsJohn Ericson
`///@file` makes them show up in the internal API dos. A tiny few were missing `#pragma once`.

2023-03-20Fix handling of experimental features mid-parseJohn Ericson
If we conditionally "declare" the argument, as we did before, based upon weather the feature is enabled, commands like nix --experimental-features=foo ... --thing-gated-on-foo won't work, because the experimental feature isn't enabled until *after* we start parsing. Instead, allow arguments to also be associated with experimental features (just as we did for builtins and settings), and then the command line parser will filter out the experimental ones. Since the effects of arguments (handler functions) are performed right away, we get the required behavior: earlier arguments can enable later arguments enabled! There is just one catch: we want to keep non-positional flags...non-positional. So if nix --experimental-features=foo ... --thing-gated-on-foo works, then nix --thing-gated-on-foo --experimental-features=foo ... should also work. This is not my favorite long-term solution, but for now this is implemented by delaying the requirement of needed experimental features until *after* all the arguments have been parsed.

2023-03-01Treat empty env var paths as unsetFélix Baylac Jacqué
We make sure the env var paths are actually set (ie. not "") before sending them to the canonicalization function. If we forget to do so, the user will end up facing a puzzled failed assertion internal error. We issue a non-failing warning as a stop-gap measure. We could want to revisit this to issue a detailed failing error message in the future.

Fix PID namespace support check
2023-02-10A setting to follow XDG Base Directory standardAlexander Bantyev
XDG Base Directory is a standard for locations for storing various files. Nix has a few files which seem to fit in the standard, but currently use a custom location directly in the user's ~, polluting it: - ~/.nix-profile - ~/.nix-defexpr - ~/.nix-channels This commit adds a config option (use-xdg-base-directories) to follow the XDG spec and instead use the following locations: - $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/profile - $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/defexpr - $XDG_STATE_HOME/nix/channels If $XDG_STATE_HOME is not set, it is assumed to be ~/.local/state.

2023-02-10Simplify the PID namespace check: just try to mount /procEelco Dolstra
Fixes #7783.
2023-01-17Move the default profiles to the user’s homeThéophane Hufschmitt
Rather than using `/nix/var/nix/{profiles,gcroots}/per-user/`, put the user profiles and gcroots under `$XDG_DATA_DIR/nix/{profiles,gcroots}`. This means that the daemon no longer needs to manage these paths itself (they are fully handled client-side). In particular, it doesn’t have to `chown` them anymore (removing one need for root). This does change the layout of the gc-roots created by nix-env, and is likely to break some stuff, so I’m not sure how to properly handle that.

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

`move` tends to have this `mv` connotation of “I will copy it for you if needs be”

2022-01-13use more string_view in utilspennae
there's a couple places that can be easily converted from using strings to using string_views instead. gives a slight (~1%) boost to system eval. # before nix eval --raw --impure --expr 'with import <nixpkgs/nixos> {}; system' Time (mean ± σ): 2.946 s ± 0.026 s [User: 2.655 s, System: 0.209 s] Range (min … max): 2.905 s … 2.995 s 20 runs # after Time (mean ± σ): 2.928 s ± 0.024 s [User: 2.638 s, System: 0.211 s] Range (min … max): 2.893 s … 2.970 s 20 runs

avoid std::?stream overhead when it's not helpful
2022-01-12use boost::lexical_cast for string2*pennae
this avoids one copy from `s` into `str`, and possibly another copy needed to construct `s` at the call site. lexical_cast is also more efficient in general.

This was already accidentally disabled in ba87b08. It also no longer appears to be beneficial, and in fact slow things down, e.g. when evaluating a NixOS system configuration: elapsed time: median = 3.8170 mean = 3.8202 stddev = 0.0195 min = 3.7894 max = 3.8600 [rejected, p=0.00000, Δ=0.36929±0.02513]
