2024-07-12Use std::strong_ordering for version comparisonJade Lovelace
The actual motive here is the avoidance of integer overflow if we were to make these use checked NixInts and retain the subtraction. However, the actual *intent* of this code is a three-way comparison, which can be done with operator<=>, so we should just do *that* instead. Change-Id: I7f9a7da1f3176424b528af6d1b4f1591e4ab26bf
2024-07-08libexpr: stop lying about DrvInfo's constnessQyriad
DrvInfo's query methods all use mutable fields to cache, but like. that's basically the entire interface for DrvInfo. Not only that, but these formerly-const-marked functions can even throw due to eval errors! Changing this only required removing some `const` markers in nix-env, and changing a single inline `queryInstalled()` call to be an lvalue instead.

2024-06-17libexpr: pass Exprs as references, not pointerseldritch horrors
almost all places where Exprs are passed as pointers expect the pointers to be non-null. pass them as references to encode this constraint in the type system as well (and also communicate that Exprs must not be freed). Change-Id: Ia98f166fec3c23151f906e13acb4a0954a5980a2
2024-05-29Remove 100s of CPU time (10%) from build times (1465s -> 1302s)Jade Lovelace
I saw that boost/lexical_cast was costing about 100s in CPU time on our compiles. We can fix this trivially by doing explicit template instantiation in exactly one place and eliminating all other includes of it, which is a code improvement anyway by hiding the boost.

2024-03-09Unify and refactor value printingeldritch horrors
Previously, there were two mostly-identical value printers -- one in `libexpr/eval.cc` (which didn't force values) and one in `libcmd/repl.cc` (which did force values and also printed ANSI color codes). This PR unifies both of these printers into `print.cc` and provides a `PrintOptions` struct for controlling the output, which allows for toggling whether values are forced, whether repeated values are tracked, and whether ANSI color codes are displayed. Additionally, `PrintOptions` allows tuning the maximum number of attributes, list items, and bytes in a string that will be displayed; this makes it ideal for contexts where printing too much output (e.g. all of Nixpkgs) is distracting. (As requested by @roberth in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9554#issuecomment-1845095735) Please read the tests for example output. Future work: - It would be nice to provide this function as a builtin, perhaps `builtins.toStringDebug` -- a printing function that never fails would be useful when debugging Nix code. - It would be nice to support customizing `PrintOptions` members on the command line, e.g. `--option to-string-max-attrs 1000`.

Factor out `nix-defexpr` path computation
2023-08-10Make the Derived Path family of types inductive for dynamic derivationsJohn Ericson
We want to be able to write down `foo.drv^bar.drv^baz`: `foo.drv^bar.drv` is the dynamic derivation (since it is itself a derivation output, `bar.drv` from `foo.drv`). To that end, we create `Single{Derivation,BuiltPath}` types, that are very similar except instead of having multiple outputs (in a set or map), they have a single one. This is for everything to the left of the rightmost `^`. `NixStringContextElem` has an analogous change, and now can reuse `SingleDerivedPath` at the top level. In fact, if we ever get rid of `DrvDeep`, `NixStringContextElem` could be replaced with `SingleDerivedPath` entirely! Important note: some JSON formats have changed. We already can *produce* dynamic derivations, but we can't refer to them directly. Today, we can merely express building or example at the top imperatively over time by building `foo.drv^bar.drv`, and then with a second nix invocation doing `<result-from-first>^baz`, but this is not declarative. The ethos of Nix of being able to write down the full plan everything you want to do, and then execute than plan with a single command, and for that we need the new inductive form of these types.

2023-08-02Factor out `nix-defexpr` path computationJohn Ericson
Avoid duplicated code, and also avoid "on the fly" path construction (which makes it harder to keep track of which paths we use). The factored out code doesn't create the Nix state dir anymore, but this is fine because other in nix-env and nix-channel does: - nix-channel: Line 158 in this commit - nix-env: Line 1407 in this commit

2023-04-21Use `std::set<StringContextElem>` not `PathSet` for string contextsJohn Ericson
Motivation `PathSet` is not correct because string contexts have other forms (`Built` and `DrvDeep`) that are not rendered as plain store paths. Instead of wrongly using `PathSet`, or "stringly typed" using `StringSet`, use `std::std<StringContextElem>`. ----- In support of this change, `NixStringContext` is now defined as `std::std<StringContextElem>` not `std:vector<StringContextElem>`. The old definition was just used by a `getContext` method which was only used by the eval cache. It can be deleted altogether since the types are now unified and the preexisting `copyContext` function already suffices. Summarizing the previous paragraph: Old: - `value/context.hh`: `NixStringContext = std::vector<StringContextElem>` - `value.hh`: `NixStringContext Value::getContext(...)` - `value.hh`: `copyContext(...)` New: - `value/context.hh`: `NixStringContext = std::set<StringContextElem>` - `value.hh`: `copyContext(...)` ---- The string representation of string context elements no longer contains the store dir. The diff of `src/libexpr/tests/value/context.cc` should make clear what the new representation is, so we recommend reviewing that file first. This was done for two reasons: Less API churn: `Value::mkString` and friends did not take a `Store` before. But if `NixStringContextElem::{parse, to_string}` *do* take a store (as they did before), then we cannot have the `Value` functions use them (in order to work with the fully-structured `NixStringContext`) without adding that argument. That would have been a lot of churn of threading the store, and this diff is already large enough, so the easier and less invasive thing to do was simply make the element `parse` and `to_string` functions not take the `Store` reference, and the easiest way to do that was to simply drop the store dir. Space usage: Dropping the `/nix/store/` (or similar) from the internal representation will safe space in the heap of the Nix programming being interpreted. If the heap contains many strings with non-trivial contexts, the saving could add up to something significant. ---- The eval cache version is bumped. The eval cache serialization uses `NixStringContextElem::{parse, to_string}`, and since those functions are changed per the above, that means the on-disk representation is also changed. This is simply done by changing the name of the used for the eval cache from `eval-cache-v4` to eval-cache-v5`. ---- To avoid some duplication `EvalCache::mkPathString` is added to abstract over the simple case of turning a store path to a string with just that string in the context. Context This PR picks up where #7543 left off. That one introduced the fully structured `NixStringContextElem` data type, but kept `PathSet context` as an awkward middle ground between internal `char[][]` interpreter heap string contexts and `NixStringContext` fully parsed string contexts. The infelicity of `PathSet context` was specifically called out during Nix team group review, but it was agreeing that fixing it could be left as future work. This is that future work. A possible follow-up step would be to get rid of the `char[][]` evaluator heap representation, too, but it is not yet clear how to do that. To use `NixStringContextElem` there we would need to get the STL containers to GC pointers in the GC build, and I am not sure how to do that. ---- PR #7543 effectively is writing the inverse of a `mkPathString`, `mkOutputString`, and one more such function for the `DrvDeep` case. I would like that PR to have property tests ensuring it is actually the inverse as expected. This PR sets things up nicely so that reworking that PR to be in that more elegant and better tested way is possible.

2023-04-06Backport SourcePath from the lazy-trees branchEelco Dolstra
This introduces the SourcePath type from lazy-trees as an abstraction for accessing files from inputs that may not be materialized in the real filesystem (e.g. Git repositories). Currently, however, it's just a wrapper around CanonPath, so it shouldn't change any behaviour. (On lazy-trees, SourcePath is a <InputAccessor, CanonPath> tuple.)

2023-03-30Split nix-env and nix-store documentation per-subcommandAlexander Bantyev
Documentation on "classic" commands with many sub-commands are notoriously hard to discover due to lack of overview and anchor links. Additionally the information on common options and environment variables is not accessible offline in man pages, and therefore often overlooked by readers. With this change, each sub-command of nix-store and nix-env gets its own page in the manual (listed in the table of contents), and each own man page. Also, man pages for each subcommand now (again) list common options and environment variables. While this makes each page quite long and some common parameters don't apply, this should still make it easier to navigate as that additional information was not accessible on the command line at all. It is now possible to run 'nix-store --<subcommand> --help` to display help pages for the given subcommand. Co-authored-by: Valentin Gagarin <valentin.gagarin@tweag.io>

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.

this slightly increases the amount of memory used for any given symbol, but this increase is more than made up for if the symbol is referenced more than once in the EvalState that holds it. on average every symbol should be referenced at least twice (once to introduce a binding, once to use it), so we expect no increase in memory on average. symbol tables are limited to 2³² entries like position tables, and similar arguments apply to why overflow is not likely: 2³² symbols would require as many string instances (at 24 bytes each) and map entries (at 24 bytes or more each, assuming that the map holds on average at most one item per bucket as the docs say). a full symbol table would require at least 192GB of memory just for symbols, which is well out of reach. (an ofborg eval of nixpks today creates less than a million symbols!)
2022-04-21replace most Pos objects/ptrs with indexes into a position tablepennae
Pos objects are somewhat wasteful as they duplicate the origin file name and input type for each object. on files that produce more than one Pos when parsed this a sizeable waste of memory (one pointer per Pos). the same goes for ptr<Pos> on 64 bit machines: parsing enough source to require 8 bytes to locate a position would need at least 8GB of input and 64GB of expression memory. it's not likely that we'll hit that any time soon, so we can use a uint32_t index to locate positions instead.

nix-env: always print output names in JSON and XML

2022-03-16nix-env: always print output names in JSON and XMLNaïm Favier
The current `--out-path` flag has two disadvantages when one is only concerned with querying the names of outputs: - it requires evaluating every output's `outPath`, which takes significantly more resources and runs into more failures - it destroys the information of the order of outputs so we can't tell which one is the main output This patch makes the output names always present (replacing paths with `null` in JSON if `--out-path` isn't given), and adds an `outputName` field.

This is useful whenever we want to evaluate something to a store path (e.g. in get-drvs.cc). Extracted from the lazy-trees branch (where we can require that a store path must come from a store source tree accessor).
