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.

2023-09-07Allow dynamic derivation deps in `inputDrvs`John Ericson
We use the same nested map representation we used for goals, again in order to save space. We might someday want to combine with `inputDrvs`, by doing `V = bool` instead of `V = std::set<OutputName>`, but we are not doing that yet for sake of a smaller diff. The ATerm format for Derivations also needs to be extended, in addition to the in-memory format. To accomodate this, we added a new basic versioning scheme, so old versions of Nix will get nice errors. (And going forward, if the ATerm format changes again the errors will be even better.) `parsedStrings`, an internal function used as part of parsing derivations in A-Term format, used to consume the final `]` but expect the initial `[` to already be consumed. This made for what looked like unbalanced brackets at callsites, which was confusing. Now it consumes both which is hopefully less confusing. As part of testing, we also created a unit test for the A-Term format for regular non-experimental derivations too.

2023-08-18Fixing #7479John Ericson
Types converted: - `NixStringContextElem` - `OutputsSpec` - `ExtendedOutputsSpec` - `DerivationOutput` - `DerivationType` Existing ones mostly conforming the pattern cleaned up: - `ContentAddressMethod` - `ContentAddressWithReferences` The `DerivationGoal::derivationType` field had a bogus initialization, now caught, so I made it `std::optional`. I think #8829 can make it non-optional again because it will ensure we always have the derivation when we construct a `DerivationGoal`. See that issue (#7479) for details on the general goal. `git grep 'Raw::Raw'` indicates the two types I didn't yet convert `DerivedPath` and `BuiltPath` (and their `Single` variants) . This is because @roberth and I (can't find issue right now...) plan on reworking them somewhat, so I didn't want to churn them more just yet. Co-authored-by: Eelco Dolstra <edolstra@gmail.com>
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!

2023-08-10Make 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.

I haven't checked when this was exactly introduced, but on Nix 2.16 I realized that the additional lines inserted when using `--precise` are completely separated from the tree: nix why-depends /nix/store/ccgr4faaxys39s091qridxg1947lggh4-evcxr-0.14.2 /nix/store/b7hvml0m3qmqraz1022fwvyyg6fc1vdy-gcc-12.2.0 --precise --extra-experimental-features nix-command /nix/store/ccgr4faaxys39s091qridxg1947lggh4-evcxr-0.14.2 → /nix/store/lcf37pgp3rgww67v9x2990hbfwx96c1w-gcc-wrapper-12.2.0 → /nix/store/b7hvml0m3qmqraz1022fwvyyg6fc1vdy-gcc-12.2.0 └───bin/evcxr: …':'}.PATH=${PATH/':''/nix/store/lcf37pgp3rgww67v9x2990hbfwx96c1w-gcc-wrapper-12.2.0/bin'':'/':'}… └───bin/cpp: …k disable=SC2193.[[ "/nix/store/b7hvml0m3qmqraz1022fwvyyg6fc1vdy-gcc-12.2.0/bin/cpp" = *++ ]] &&… This is apparently because `std::cout` is buffered and flushed in the end whereas the rest of the output isn't. The fix is rather simple, just use `logger->cout` as it's already the case for the rest of the code. This way we also don't need to insert additional newlines in the `hits` map since that's something the logger takes care of. Also added a small test to make sure that the layout of this is somehow tested to reduce the risk of further regressions here.

Whereas `ContentAddressWithReferences` is a sum type complex because different varieties support different notions of reference, and `ContentAddressMethod` is a nested enum to support that, `ContentAddress` can be a simple pair of a method and hash. `ContentAddress` does not need to be a sum type on the outside because the choice of method doesn't effect what type of hashes we can use.

2023-06-27nix flake check: improve error message if overlay is not a lambda (#8582)Maximilian Bosch
* nix flake check: improve error message if overlay is not a lambda Suppose you have an overlay like this { inputs = { /* ... */ }; outputs = { flake-utils, ... }: flake-utils.lib.eachDefaultSystem (system: { overlays.default = final: prev: { }; }); } then `nix flake check` (correctly) fails because `overlays` are supposed to have the structure `overlays.<name> = final: prev: exp`. However, the error-message is a little bit counter-intuitive: error: overlay does not take an argument named 'final' While one might guess where the error actually comes from because the trace above says `… while checking the overlay 'overlays.x86_64-linux'` this is still pretty confusing because it complains about an argument not being named `final` even though that's evidently the case.
