Rename and protect `BufferedSink::write`
2023-04-11Do not gate or hide experimental settingsJohn Ericson
This is somewhat hacky fix just for 2.15. I unintentionally hid them from the manual, when no one wanted to hide them that (including myself). I also required the experimental feature to be enabled in an order-dependent way, which is not good. The simplest fix for this immanent release is just to always show them, and always allow them to be set. Effectively undoes some changes from aa663b7e89d3d02248d37ee9f68b52770b247018

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.

2023-04-07Rename and protect `BufferedSink::write`Théophane Hufschmitt
The `write` name is ambiguous and could lead to some funny bugs like https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/8173#issuecomment-1500009480. So rename it to the more explicit `writeUnbuffered`. Besides, this method shouldn't be (and isn't) used outside of the class implementation, so mark it `protected`. This makes it more symetrical to `BufferedSource` which uses a `protected readUnbuffered` method.
2023-04-06Describe active experimental features in the contributing guideJohn Ericson
They are put in the manual separate pages under the new overarching description of experimental features. The settings page just lists the valid experimental feature names (so people know what a valid setting entry looks like), with links to those pages. It doesn't attempt to describe each experimental feature as that is too much information for the configuration settings section.

2023-04-04Assemble experimental feature docs outside of Nix itselfJohn Ericson
Instead of constructing a markdown list in C++ (which involved all sorts of nasty string literals), export some JSON and assemble it with the manual build system. Besides following the precedent set with other dumped data, this is a better separate of content and presentation; if we decide for example we want to display this information in a different way, or in a different section of the manual, it will become much easier to do so.

Fix current and future `switch` bugs
2023-04-03Enable -Werror=switch-enumRobert Hensing
switch statements must now match all enum values or disable the warning. Explicit is good. This has helped us find two bugs, after solving another one by debugging. From now on, adding to an enum will raise errors where they are not explicitly handled, which is good for productivity, and helps us decide the correct behavior in all usages. Notably still excluded from this though are the cases where the warning is disabled by local pragmas. fromTOML.cc did not build despite a top-level pragma, so I've had to resort to a makefile solution for that.

2023-04-03Stuctured command stabilityJohn Ericson
Prior to this, there was an ad-hoc whitelist in `main.cc`. Now, every command states its stability. In a future PR, we will adjust the manual to take advantage of this new information in the JSON. (It will be easier to do that once we have some experimental feature docs to link too; see #5930 and #7798.)

2023-03-23error.cc: Only suggest show-trace when truncated trace items would be printedRobert Hensing
Otherwise, a trace consisting of frame frame frame non-frame ... would reach the non-frame and print the suggestion, even though it would have ignored the non-frame anyway. This resulted in a peculariar situation where --show-trace would have no apparent effect, as the trace was actually already complete.

2023-03-20Open slave pseudoterminal before CLONE_NEWUSEREelco Dolstra
Otherwise, when running as root and user namespaces are enabled, opening the slave fails with EPERM. Fixes "opening pseudoterminal slave: Permission denied" followed by a hang (https://hydra.nixos.org/build/213104244), and "error: getting sandbox mount namespace: No such file or directory" (#8072), which happens when the child fails very quickly and consequently reading /proc/<child>/ns fails.
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.
2023-03-20Mark experimental features on settingsJohn Ericson
We hide them in various ways if the experimental feature isn't enabled. To do this, we had to move the experimental features list out of libnixstore, because the setting machinary itself depends on it. To do that, we made a new `ExperimentalFeatureSettings`.
2023-03-20Move enabled experimental feature to libutil structJohn Ericson
This is needed in subsequent commits to allow the settings and CLI args infrastructure itself to read this setting.

2023-03-15Make command infra less stateful and more regularJohn Ericson
Already, we had classes like `BuiltPathsCommand` and `StorePathsCommand` which provided alternative `run` virtual functions providing the implementation with more arguments. This was a very nice and easy way to make writing command; just fill in the virtual functions and it is fairly clear what to do. However, exception to this pattern were `Installable{,s}Command`. These two classes instead just had a field where the installables would be stored, and various side-effecting `prepare` and `load` machinery too fill them in. Command would wish out those fields. This isn't so clear to use. What this commit does is make those command classes like the others, with richer `run` functions. Not only does this restore the pattern making commands easier to write, it has a number of other benefits: - `prepare` and `load` are gone entirely! One command just hands just hands off to the next. - `useDefaultInstallables` because `defaultInstallables`. This takes over `prepare` for the one case that needs it, and provides enough flexiblity to handle `nix repl`'s idiosyncratic migration. - We can use `ref` instead of `std::shared_ptr`. The former must be initialized (so it is like Rust's `Box` rather than `Option<Box>`, This expresses the invariant that the installable are in fact initialized much better. This is possible because since we just have local variables not fields, we can stop worrying about the not-yet-initialized case. - Fewer lines of code! (Finally I have a large refactor that makes the number go down not up...) - `nix repl` is now implemented in a clearer way. The last item deserves further mention. `nix repl` is not like the other installable commands because instead working from once-loaded installables, it needs to be able to load them again and again. To properly support this, we make a new superclass `RawInstallablesCommand`. This class has the argument parsing and completion logic, but does *not* hand off parsed installables but instead just the raw string arguments. This is exactly what `nix repl` needs, and allows us to instead of having the logic awkwardly split between `prepare`, `useDefaultInstallables,` and `load`, have everything right next to each other. I think this will enable future simplifications of that argument defaulting logic, but I am saving those for a future PR --- best to keep code motion and more complicated boolean expression rewriting separate steps. The "diagnostic ignored `-Woverloaded-virtual`" pragma helps because C++ doesn't like our many `run` methods. In our case, we don't mind the shadowing it all --- it is *intentional* that the derived class only provides a `run` method, and doesn't call any of the overridden `run` methods. Helps with https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/134
