Progress towards #10766
I thought that #10768 achieved, but when I went to use this stuff (in
Hydra), turns out it did not. (Those `using FooConfig;` lines were not
working --- they are so finicky!) This PR gets the job done, and adds
some trivial unit tests to make sure I did what I intended.
I had to add add a header to expose `SSHStoreConfig`, after which the
preexisting `ssh-store-config.*` were very confusingly named files, so I
renamed them to `common-ssh-store-config.hh` to match the type defined
therein.
They are not actually part of the store layer, but instead part of the
Nix executable infra (libraries don't need plugins, executables do).
This is part of a larger project of moving all of our legacy settings
infra to libmain, and having the underlying libraries just have plain
configuration structs detached from any settings infra / UI layer.
Progress on #5638
This makes it possible to certain discern failures from empty
snippets, which I think is an ok review comment.
Maybe it should do so for swapped column indexes too, but I'm not
sure.
I don't think it matters in the grand scheme. We don't even have
a real use case for `nullopt` now anyway.
Since we don't have a use case, I'm not applying this logic to
higher level functions yet.
Unfortunately these don't render correctly, because they go into the
markdown renderer, instead of the terminal.
```
nix-repl> :doc lib.version
Attribute '[35;1mversion[0m'
… defined at [35;1m/home/user/h/nixpkgs/lib/default.nix:73:40[0m
```
We could switch that to go direct to the terminal, but then we should
do the same for the primops, to get a consistent look.
Reverting for now.
This reverts commit 3413e0338cbee1c7734d5cb614b5325e51815cde.
fetchurl can be given a name and url aside from just the url.
Giving a name can be useful if the url has invalid characters such as
tilde for the store.
... at call sites that are may be in the hot path.
I do not know how clever the compiler gets at these sites.
My primary concern is to not regress performance and I am confident
that this achieves it the easy way.
When the separator is empty, no difference is observable.
Note that concatStringsSep has centralized definitions. This adds the
required definitions. Alternatively, `strings-inline.hh` could be
included at call sites.
Considering that `value` was probably parsed with tokenizeString
prior, it's unlikely to contain empty strings, and we have no
reason to remove them either.
Empty attributes are probably not well supported, but the least we
could do is leave a hint.
Attribute path rendering and parsing should be done according to
Nix expression syntax in my opinion.
(System) features are unlikely to be empty strings, but when they
come in through structuredAttrs, they probably can.
I don't think this means we should drop them, but most likely they
will be dropped after this because next time they'll be parsed with
tokenizeString.
TODO: We should forbid empty features.
I don't think it's completely impossible, but I can't construct
one easily as derivationStrict seems to (re)tokenize the outputs
attribute, dropping the empty output.
It's not a scenario we have to account for here.
Bug not reported in 6 years, but here you go.
Also it is safe to switch to normal concatStringsSep behavior
because tokenizeString does not produce empty items.
The empty attribute name should not be dropped from attribute paths.
Rendering attribute paths with concatStringsSep is lossy and wrong,
but this is just a first improvement while dealing with the
dropEmptyInitThenConcatStringsSep problem.
Known behavior changes:
- `MemorySourceAccessor`'s comparison operators no longer forget to
compare the `SourceAccessor` base class.
Progress on #10832
What remains for that issue is hopefully much easier!
- Fix eval cache not being persisted in `nix develop` (since #10570)
- Don't attempt to commit cache transaction if there is no active transaction, which will spew errors in edge cases
- Drive-by: trivial typo fix
Progress on #5638
There are still a global fetcher and eval settings, but they are pushed
down into `libnixcmd`, which is a lot less bad a place for this sort of
thing.
Continuing process pioneered in
52bfccf8d8.
The move assignment was implicitly generated and used in
src/libstore/build/goal.cc:90:22:
90 | this->ex = std::move(*ex);
Clang warns about this generated method being deprecated, so making
them explicit fixes the warning.
When --unpack was used the nix would add the current directory to the
nix store instead of the content of unpacked.
The reason for this is that std::distance already consumes the iterator.
To fix this we re-instantiate the directory iterator in case the
directory only contains a single entry.
This improves the error message of nix-env -qa, among others, which
is crucial for understanding some ofborg eval error reports, such as
https://gist.github.com/GrahamcOfBorg/89101ca9c2c855d288178f1d3c78efef

The recent fix for CVE-2024-38531 broke the sandbox on macOS
completely. As it’s not practical to use `chroot(2)` on
macOS, the build takes place in the main filesystem tree, and the
world‐unreadable wrapper directory prevents the build from accessing
its `$TMPDIR` at all.
The macOS sandbox probably shouldn’t be treated as any kind of a
security boundary in its current state, but this specific vulnerability
wasn’t possible to exploit on macOS anyway, as creating `set{u,g}id`
binaries is blocked by sandbox policy.
Locking down the build sandbox further may be a good idea in future,
but it already has significant compatibility issues. For now, restore
the previous status quo on macOS.
Thanks to @alois31 for helping me come to a better understanding of
the vulnerability.

- use the iterator in `CanonPath` to count `level`

- use `CanonPath::root` instead of `CanonPath{""}`
- remove `Path` and `PathView`, use `std::filesystem::path` directly
move together all syntactic and semantic information into one
page, and add a page on data types, which in turn links to the syntax and
semantics.

The code that counts the number of elided attrs incorrectly used the
per-printer "global" attribute counter instead of a counter that
was relevant only to the current attribute set.
This bug flew under the radar because often the attribute sets aren't
nested, not big enough, or we wouldn't pay attention to the numbers.
I've noticed the issue because the difference underflowed.
Although this behavior is tested by the functional test
lang/eval-fail-bad-string-interpolation-4.nix, the underflow slipped
through review. A simpler reproducer would be as follows, but I
haven't added it to the test suite to keep it simple and marginally
faster.
```
$ nix run nix/2.23.1 -- eval --expr '"" + (let v = { a = { a = 1; b = 2; c = 1; d = 1; e = 1; f = 1; g = 1; h = 1; }; b = { a = 1; b = 1; c = 1; }; }; in builtins.deepSeq v v)'

The old `std::variant` is bad because we aren't adding a new case to
`FileIngestionMethod` so much as we are defining a separate concept ---
store object content addressing rather than file system object content
addressing. As such, it is more correct to just create a fresh
enumeration.

Previously, the .chroot directory had permission 750 or 755 (depending
on the uid-range system feature) and was owned by root/nixbld. This
makes it possible for any nixbld user (if uid-range is disabled) or
any user (if uid-range is enabled) to inspect the contents of the
chroot of an active build and maybe interfere with it (e.g. via /tmp
in the chroot, which has 1777 permission).
To prevent this, the root is now a subdirectory of .chroot, which has
permission 700 and is owned by root/root.
Instead of running the builds under
`$TMPDIR/{unique-build-directory-owned-by-the-build-user}`, run them
under `$TMPDIR/{unique-build-directory-owned-by-the-daemon}/{subdir-owned-by-the-build-user}`
where the build directory is only readable and traversable by the daemon user.
This achieves two things:
1. It prevents builders from making their build directory world-readable
(or even writeable), which would allow the outside world to interact
with them.
2. It prevents external processes running as the build user (either
because that somehow leaked, maybe as a consequence of 1., or because
`build-users` isn't in use) from gaining access to the build
directory.
the `std::filesystem::create_directories` can fail due to insufficient
permissions. We convert this error into a `SysError` and catch it
wherever required.
#2230 broadened the scope of macOS hardlink exclusion but did not change the comments. This was a little confusing for me, so I figured the comments should be updated.
The documentation is clear about the supported formats (with at least
`builtins.fetchTarball`). The way the code was written previously it
supported all the formats that libarchive supported. That is a
surprisingly large amount of formats that are likely not on the radar
of the Nix developers and users. Before people end up relying on
this (or if they do) it is better to break it now before it becomes a
widespread "feature".
Zip file support has been retained as (at least to my knowledge)
historically that has been used to fetch nixpkgs in some shell
expressions *many* years back.
Fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/10917
The documentation "solved" this by specifying a precondition, but
let's just make it more robust, and not leak irrelevant messages
that might linger.
We don't clear the message when clearing the status, in order to
keep clearing fast; see last_err field doc.

Previously (in cfc18a7739), we forgot to
compare the algo at all. This means we keep the same ordering as before
by making the stuff we always have compared take priority.
The idea is two-fold:
- Replace autotools with Meson
- Build each library in its own derivation
The interaction of these two features is that Meson's "subprojects"
feature (https://mesonbuild.com/Subprojects) allows us to have single
dev shell for building all libraries still, while also building things
separately. This allows us to break up the build without a huge
productivity lost.
I tested the Linux native build, and NetBSD and Windows cross builds.
Also do some clean ups of the Flake in the process of supporting new
jobs.

This is not really part of the evaluator: it is just an integration
between Boehm GC and Boost coroutines usable for any purpose. The
evaluator (merely) optionally uses it.
The implementation of `nix::createDirs` allows it to be a simple wrapper
around `std::filesystem::create_directories` as its return value is not
used anywhere.
throwing exceptions is fine, but throwing exceptions during exception
handling is hard enough to do correctly that we should just forbid it

Before, `-lnixutil` was just stuck in `nix-store.pc`, but that doesn't
seem so nice.
This prepares us to distribute `libnixutil` in a separate package if we
want, but it should be a good change either way. I suspect it wasn't
done before because libutil was an extra unstable interface, but I don't
think we need worry about that. *All* the C++ is less stable than the C
(or that's the goal at least).
For what it's worth, Lix also created this pkg-config file *en passant*
during their rename:
c97e17144e (diff-3c4f60cc44a0e35444c7f45331cfa50f76637118)
This re-enables support for older bwdgc versions without complicating
the code too much.
Coroutines generally only interfere with GC during source filtering,
so it's not too bad of a regression on older bdwgc.
This seems preferable over conditional compilation to enable the patch
etc; we've already spent a lot of complexity budget on this GC-coroutine
interaction...
Manually tested by printing to stderr in both branches (sp in os
stack, or not), and triggering a GC in a filterSource function,
e.g.:
let
generateTree = n: if n == 0 then "ha" else { left = generateTree (n - 1); right = generateTree (n - 1); };
in
builtins.deepSeq (generateTree 18) ...
Note that the darwin still uses the strategy of disabling GC, despite
having an implementation that compiles. The proper solution will be
enabled and tested later.
... so that we may perhaps later extend the interface.
Note that Nixpkgs' lib.warn already requires a string coercible
argument, so this is reasonable. Also note that string coercible
values aren't all strings, but in practice, for warn, they are.

- Start cleaning up the channel / waiting code with an abstraction.
By moving `host` to the config, we can do a lot further cleanups and

Progress on #10766
Progress on https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/issues/1164
This increases test coverage, and gets the worker protocol ready to be
used by Hydra.
Why don't we just try to use the store interface in Hydra? Well, the
problem is that the store interface works on connection pools, with each
opreation getting potentially a different connection, but the way temp
roots work requires that we keep one logical "transaction" (temp root
session) using the same connection.
The longer-term solution probably is making connections themselves
implement the store interface, but that is something that builds on
this, so I feel OK that this is not churn in the wrong direction.
Fixes#9584
We don't want to rely on how C assigns numbers for enums in the wire
format. Sure, this is totally determined by the ABI, but it obscures the
code and makes it harder to safely change the enum definition (should we
need to) without accidentally breaking the wire format.
Do this instead of an unchecked cast
I redid this to use the serialisation framework (including a unit test),
but I am keeping the reference to credit Jade for spotting the issue.
