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.

2023-04-06Expand documentation for `experimental-features`Noah Snelson
Adds examples and additional information to the `impure-derivations`, `recursive-nix`, and `no-url-literals` experimental feature documentation.
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.

2023-04-03nix-store.cc: Refactor, remove qDefaultRobert Hensing
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.)

2023-04-02Move `querySubstitutablePathInfos` from `LocalStore` to `Store`John Ericson
The code is not local-store-specific, so we should share it with all stores. More uniform behavior is better, and a less store-specific functionality is more maintainable. This fixes a FIXME added in f73d911628 by @edolstra himself.

- Use struct not `std::pair`, designated initializers - Use `constexpr` array that we can index by enum tag - It no longer segfaults; not sure why.

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>

This fixes the issue that `nix-build`, without experimental feature 'nix-command' enabled, recommends the experimental CLI `nix log` to view build logs. Now it'll recommend the stable `nix-store -l` CLI instead. Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/8118
