2024-03-25Overhaul completions, redo #6693 (#8131)John Ericson
As I complained in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6784#issuecomment-1421777030 (a comment on the wrong PR, sorry again!), #6693 introduced a second completions mechanism to fix a bug. Having two completion mechanisms isn't so nice. As @thufschmitt also pointed out, it was a bummer to go from `FlakeRef` to `std::string` when collecting flake refs. Now it is `FlakeRefs` again. The underlying issue that sought to work around was that completion of arguments not at the end can still benefit from the information from latter arguments. To fix this better, we rip out that change and simply defer all completion processing until after all the (regular, already-complete) arguments have been passed. In addition, I noticed the original completion logic used some global variables. I do not like global variables, because even if they save lines of code, they also obfuscate the architecture of the code. I got rid of them moved them to a new `RootArgs` class, which now has `parseCmdline` instead of `Args`. The idea is that we have many argument parsers from subcommands and what-not, but only one root args that owns the other per actual parsing invocation. The state that was global is now part of the root args instead. This did, admittedly, add a bunch of new code. And I do feel bad about that. So I went and added a lot of API docs to try to at least make the current state of things clear to the next person. -- This is needed for RFC 134 (tracking issue #7868). It was very hard to modularize `Installable` parsing when there were two completion arguments. I wouldn't go as far as to say it is *easy* now, but at least it is less hard (and the completions test finally passed).

2023-08-14Create `outputOf` primop.John Ericson
In the Nix language, given a drv path, we should be able to construct another string referencing to one of its output. We can do this today with `(import drvPath).output`, but this only works for derivations we already have. With dynamic derivations, however, that doesn't work well because the `drvPath` isn't yet built: importing it like would need to trigger IFD, when the whole point of this feature is to do "dynamic build graph" without IFD! Instead, what we want to do is create a placeholder value with the right string context to refer to the output of the as-yet unbuilt derivation. A new primop in the language, analogous to `builtins.placeholder` can be used to create one. This will achieve all the right properties. The placeholder machinery also will match out the `outPath` attribute for CA derivations works. In 60b7121d2c6d4322b7c2e8e7acfec7b701b2d3a1 we added that type of placeholder, and the derived path and string holder changes necessary to support it. Then in the previous commit we cleaned up the code (inspiration finally hit me!) to deduplicate the code and expose exactly what we need. Now, we can wire up the primop trivally!

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.)
2023-04-04Assemble 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.
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.)

2023-03-27Punt on improper global flags for nowJohn Ericson
See the note in the test. We don't want these flags showing up for commands where they are irrelevant. Eventually, this needs a proper fix, but it need not be a blocker for stabilize: for a quick-n-dirty punt, just put these flags behind the `nix-command` unstable feature. This is fine because they are only relevant for commands which we don't need to stabilize for a while.

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.
2023-03-20Move 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.

2022-05-31repl: `--option pure-eval true` actually enables pure eval modeMaximilian Bosch
To quote Eelco in #5867: > Unfortunately we can't do > > evalSettings.pureEval.setDefault(false); > > because then we have to do the same in main.cc (where > pureEval is set to true), and that would allow pure-eval > to be disabled globally from nix.conf. Instead, a command should specify that it should be impure by default. Then, `evalSettings.pureEval` will be set to `false;` unless it's overridden by e.g. a CLI flag. In that case it's IMHO OK to be (theoretically) able to override `pure-eval` via `nix.conf` because it doesn't have an effect on commands where `forceImpureByDefault` returns `false` (i.e. everything where pure eval actually matters). Closes #5867

2022-04-21store Symbols in a table as well, like positionspennae
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!)
