This function was used in only one place, where it could easily be
replaced by readDerivation() since it's not
performance-critical. (This function appears to have been modelled
after queryDerivationOutputs(), which exists only to make the garbage
collector faster.)
Most functions now take a StorePath argument rather than a Path (which
is just an alias for std::string). The StorePath constructor ensures
that the path is syntactically correct (i.e. it looks like
<store-dir>/<base32-hash>-<name>). Similarly, functions like
buildPaths() now take a StorePathWithOutputs, rather than abusing Path
by adding a '!<outputs>' suffix.
Note that the StorePath type is implemented in Rust. This involves
some hackery to allow Rust values to be used directly in C++, via a
helper type whose destructor calls the Rust type's drop()
function. The main issue is the dynamic nature of C++ move semantics:
after we have moved a Rust value, we should not call the drop function
on the original value. So when we move a value, we set the original
value to bitwise zero, and the destructor only calls drop() if the
value is not bitwise zero. This should be sufficient for most types.
Also lots of minor cleanups to the C++ API to make it more modern
(e.g. using std::optional and std::string_view in some places).
These are already handled separately. This fixes warnings like
warning: ignoring the user-specified setting 'max-jobs', because it is a restricted setting and you are not a trusted user
when using the -j flag.
This new structure makes more sense as there may be many sources rooting
the same store path. Many profiles can reference the same path but this
is even more true with /proc/<pid>/maps where distinct pids can and
often do map the same store path.
This implementation is also more efficient as the `Roots` map contains
only one entry per rooted store path.
Allow global config settings to be defined in multiple Config
classes. For example, this means that libutil can have settings and
evaluator settings can be moved out of libstore. The Config classes
are registered in a new GlobalConfig class to which config files
etc. are applied.
Relevant to https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/2009 in that it
removes the need for ad hoc handling of useCaseHack, which was the
underlying cause of that issue.
Continuation of 97002b684c. This makes
the daemon use constant memory. For example, it reduces the daemon's
maximum RSS on
$ nix copy --from ~/my-nix --to daemon /nix/store/1n7x0yv8vq6zi90hfmian84vdhd04bgp-blender-2.79a
from 264 MiB to 7 MiB.
We now use a TunnelSource to prevent the connection from ending up in
an undefined state if an exception is thrown while the NAR is being
sent.

This is a hack to make hydra-queue-runner free its temproots
periodically, thereby ensuring that garbage collection of the
corresponding paths is not blocked until the queue runner is
restarted.
It would be better if temproots could be released earlier than at
process exit. I started working on a RAII object returned by functions
like addToStore() that releases temproots. However, this would be a
pretty massive change so I gave up on it for now.
Functions like copyClosure() had 3 bool arguments, which creates a
severe risk of mixing up arguments.
Also, implement copyClosure() using copyPaths().
Opening an SSHStore or LegacySSHStore does not actually establish a
connection, so the try/catch block here did nothing. Added a
Store::connect() method to test whether a connection can be
established.
