2022-09-07 r/4705 feat(tvix/eval): semi-strictly evaluate output values of the VMVincent Ambo3-4/+36
This essentially makes the VM behave like `nix-instantiate --eval --strict`, i.e. data structures are traversed strictly and thunks are forced. Thunks embedded in closures are not forced. This allows us to re-enable tests that were disabled because they needed to output nested thunk contents, but is overall a behaviour that must be configurable later on, as it is not cmopatible with e.g. an evaluation of nixpkgs.

2022-09-07 r/4703 fix(tvix/eval): thread Display & PartialEq through to thunk valuesVincent Ambo2-1/+21
If a thunk is already evaluated, there are cases where due to the memoisation implementation something might observe a value wrapped in a thunk. In these cases, the implementation of `Display` and `PartialEq` must delegate to the underlying value. Note that there are a handful of other cases like these which we need to cover. It is a little tricky to write integration tests for these directly, especially as some of the open-upvalue optimisations coming down the pipe will reduce the number of observable thunks. One test that covers a part of this behaviour is currently disabled (needs some more machinery), but it's being brought back in the next commits.

2022-09-07 r/4702 feat(tvix/eval): implement NixAttrs::iter()Vincent Ambo2-1/+121
Implementing iteration over NixAttrs requires a custom iterator type in order to encapsulate the different representations. The BTreeMap for example has its own iterator type which needs to be encapsulated. This is mostly boilerplate code, but for a change some simple unit tests have been added in.

These static strings show up a bunch when dealing with the internals of attribute sets, and having them available as static references is required. Due to the way const expressions are evaluated, taking a reference to the existing NixString::NAME / NixString::VALUE items does not work and the references themselves need to be const-evaluated.

The VM previously took care of repeatedly forcing a thunk until it reached an evaluated state. This logic is now encapsulated inside of the `Thunk::force` implementation. In addition, force no longer returns a reference to the value by default, leaving it up to callers to decide whether they want to borrow the value or not (a helper is provided for this).

2022-09-06 r/4659 fix(tvix/eval): instantiate *new* closures from blueprints each timeVincent Ambo6-17/+33
The previous closure refactoring introduced a bug in which the same closure object would get mutated constantly for each instance of a closure, which is incorrect behaviour. This commit instead introduces an explicit new Value variant for the internal "blueprint" that the compiler generates (essentially just the lambda) and uses this variant to construct the closure at runtime. If the blueprint ever leaks out to a user somehow that is a critical bug and tvix-eval will panic. As a ~treat~ test for this, the fibonacci function is being used as it is a self-recursive closure (i.e. different instantiations of the same "blueprint") getting called with different values and it's good to have it around.

2022-09-06 r/4658 fix(tvix/eval): correctly thread through dynamic upvaluesVincent Ambo6-12/+112
This puts together the puzzle pieces for threading dynamic upvalues (that is, upvalues resolved from the `with`-stack) all the way through. Reading the test case enclosed in this commit and walking through it is recommended to understand what problem is being tackled here. In short, because the compiler can not statically know *which* with-scope a dynamic argument is resolved from it needs to lay the groundwork for resolving from *all* possible scopes. There are multiple different approaches to doing this. The approach chosen in this commit is that if a dynamic upvalue is detected, the compiler will emit instructions to close over this dynamic value in *all* enclosing lambda contexts. It uses a new instruction for this that will leave around a sentinel value in case an identifier could not be resolved, and wire the location of this found value (or sentinel) up through the upvalues to the next level of nesting. In this tradeoff, tvix potentially closes over more upvalues than are needed (but in practice, how often do people create *really* deep `with`-stacks? and in *this* kind of code situation? maybe we should even warn for this!) but avoids keeping the entire attribute sets themselves around. Looking at the test case, each surrounding closure will close over *all* dynamic identifiers that are referenced later on visible to it, but only the last one for each identifier will actually end up being used. This also covers our bases for an additional edge-case this creates, in which an identifier potentially resolves to a dynamic upvalue *and* to a dynamic value within the function's own scope (again, would anyone really do this?) by introducing a resolution instruction for that particular case. There is likely some potential for cleaning up this code which is quite ugly in some parts, but as this implementation is now carefully calibrated to work I decided it is time to commit it and clean it up in subsequent commits.

2022-09-06 r/4657 refactor(tvix/eval): thread dynamic upvalues through all contextsVincent Ambo2-9/+65
With this change, encountering a dynamic upvalue will thread through all contexts starting from the lowest context that has a non-empty `with`-stack. The additional upvalues are not actually used yet, so the effective behaviour remains mostly the same. This is done in preparation for an upcoming change, which will implement proper dynamic resolution for complex cases of nested dynamic upvalues. Yes, this whole upvalue + dynamic values thing is a little bit mind-bending, but we would like to not give up being able to resolve a large chunk of the scoping behaviour statically.

2022-09-06 r/4656 feat(tvix/eval): allow ignoring locals by prefixing with _Vincent Ambo1-1/+2
This is a common idiom in both Nix and other languages when a local is declared without actually being used. Since Tvix warns for unused locals, having this available is useful and can be included in the final error message as a suggestion if an unused variable is intentional.
