2024-05-07remove the autoconf+Make buildsystemQyriad
We're not using it anymore. Any leftover bugs in the Meson buildsystem are now just bugs. Closes #249. Change-Id: I0465a0c37ae819f94d40e7829f5bff046aa63d73
2024-05-05Fix the pages in the manual for LixJade Lovelace
This doesn't comprehensively fix everything outdated in the manual, or make the manual greatly better, but it does note down where at least jade noticed it was wrong, and it does fix all the instances of referencing Nix to conform to the style guide to the best of our ability. A lot of things have been commented out for being wrong, and there are three types of FIXME introduced: - FIXME(Lix): generically Lix needs to fix it - FIXME(Qyriad): re https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/215 - FIXME(meson): docs got outdated by meson changes and need rewriting I did fix a bunch of it that I could, but there could certainly be mistakes and this is definitely just an incremental improvement.

2024-05-03Merge "Rename `nix show-config` to `nix config show`" into mainMaximilian Bosch
2024-05-03Rename `nix show-config` to `nix config show`Théophane Hufschmitt
Part of #7672 My main motivation is to be able to use `nix.checkConfig`[1]. This doesn't work with Lix currently since the module uses `nix show-config` if the Nix version is <2.20pre and `nix config show` otherwise. I think this is the only instance where nixpkgs checks for which Nix commands exist that affects us now, so I figured we could just perform the rename here as well[2] and still provide the current version number[3]. I don't have a strong opinion on whether to deprecate `nix show-config`, the warning is added there automatically. (cherry picked from commit f300e11b056dea414d7d77bbc6e5a7dc5d9ddd41) [1] https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/options.html#opt-nix.checkConfig [2] I should add that I don't use the "official" ways of installing Lix because using the flake directly and callPackaging it seemed to fit better into my workflow: I already have a little mess to make sure Hydra from the flake uses the correct pkgs.nix and I didn't want to complicate it further while keeping a single package-set I can build in CI. Don't get me wrong, I think such a module for a quick-start is very important, just giving context on why I bother in the first place :) [3] When we go public, I think it's worth considering to add support in nixpkgs itself for Lix.

2024-04-29docs: guide to installables docs in installable commands' docsQyriad
The installables syntax is not documented in any of the man pages or docbook pages for any of those individual commands. And while these commands really should at least peripherally individually document how installables work, in the meantime we can at least direct people to the right place. This commit also clarifies the unexpected fact that `nix profile remove` and `nix profile upgrade` do *not* take installables. Change-Id: I3b1453cb197a613bbab639c66a466365c3592c6d

2024-04-29fix `nix upgrade-nix` on new-style profilesQyriad
nix3-profile automatically migrates any profile its used on to its style of profile -- the ones with manifest.json instead of manifest.nix. On non-NixOS systems, Nix is conventionally installed to the profile at /nix/var/nix/profiles/default, so if a user passed that to `--profile` of `nix profile`, then it would break upgrade-nix from ever working again, without recreating the profile. This commit fixes that, and allows upgrade-nix to work on either kind of profile. Fixes #16. Change-Id: I4c49b1beba93bb50e8f8a107edc451affe08c3f7

2024-03-29meson: add missing explicit dependency on nlohmann_jsonWinter

2024-03-27HOT SALE: 15% off your build times!Jade Lovelace
This was achieved by running maintainers/buildtime_report.sh on the build directory of a meson build, then asking "why the heck is json eating our build times", and strategically moving the json using bits out of widely included headers. It turns out that putting literally any metrics whatsoever into the build had immediate and predictable results. Results are 1382.5s frontend time -> 1175.4s frontend time, back end time approximately invariant.

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).

2024-03-22build: optionally build and install with mesonQyriad
This commit adds several meson.build, which successfully build and install Lix executables, libraries, and headers. Meson does not yet build docs, Perl bindings, or run tests, which will be added in following commits. As such, this commit does not remove the existing build system, or make it the default, and also as such, this commit has several FIXMEs and TODOs as notes for what should be done before the existing autoconf + make buildsystem can be removed and Meson made the default. This commit does not modify any source files. A Meson-enabled build is also added as a Hydra job, and to `nix flake check`. Change-Id: I667c8685b13b7bab91e281053f807a11616ae3d4

2024-03-18libutil: remove vforkeldritch horrors
vfork confers a large performance advantage over fork, measured locally at 16µs per vfork agains 90µs per fork. however nix *almost always* follows a vfork up with an execve-family call, melting the performance advantage from 6x to only 15%. in most of those cases it's doing things that are undefined behavior (like manipulating the heap, or even throwing exceptions and trashing the parent process stack). most notably the one place that could benefit from the vfork performance improvement is linux derivation sandbox setup—which doesn't use vfork.

2024-03-09libexpr: Support structured error classeseldritch horrors
While preparing PRs like #9753, I've had to change error messages in dozens of code paths. It would be nice if instead of EvalError("expected 'boolean' but found '%1%'", showType(v)) we could write TypeError(v, "boolean") or similar. Then, changing the error message could be a mechanical refactor with the compiler pointing out places the constructor needs to be changed, rather than the error-prone process of grepping through the codebase. Structured errors would also help prevent the "same" error from having multiple slightly different messages, and could be a first step towards error codes / an error index. This PR reworks the exception infrastructure in `libexpr` to support exception types with different constructor signatures than `BaseError`. Actually refactoring the exceptions to use structured data will come in a future PR (this one is big enough already, as it has to touch every exception in `libexpr`). The core design is in `eval-error.hh`. Generally, errors like this: state.error("'%s' is not a string", getAttrPathStr()) .debugThrow<TypeError>() are transformed like this: state.error<TypeError>("'%s' is not a string", getAttrPathStr()) .debugThrow() The type annotation has moved from `ErrorBuilder::debugThrow` to `EvalState::error`.

2024-03-08Print derivation paths in `nix eval`Rebecca Turner
`nix eval` forces values and prints derivations as attribute sets, so commands that print derivations (e.g. `nix eval nixpkgs#bash`) will infinitely loop and segfault. Printing derivations as `.drv` paths makes `nix eval` complete as expected. Further work is needed, but this is better than a segfault.
