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
After this change, it will report the same trace, but also start with
```

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 the `CanonPath::basename` method
- 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.
also split out the note on scoping rules into its own page.

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)'
error:

We don't apply any patches to it, and vendoring it locks users into
bugs (it hasn't been updated since its introduction in late 2021).

It was added above this conditional
Worker::Worker(LocalStore & store)

if (working) abort();
working = true;
However, `working` has since been removed.

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.

I hope this will make it easier to maintain, and also make it easier for
others to assist with porting the rest of the build system to Meson.

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.
