2014-03-28 Don't interpret strings as format stringsEelco Dolstra3-23/+32
Ludo reported this error: unexpected Nix daemon error: boost::too_few_args: format-string refered to more arguments than were passed coming from this line: printMsg(lvlError, run.program + ": " + string(err, 0, p)); The problem here is that the string ends up implicitly converted to a Boost format() object, so % characters are treated specially. I always assumed (wrongly) that strings are converted to a format object that outputs the string as-is. Since this assumption appears in several places that may be hard to grep for, I've added some C++ type hackery to ensures that the right thing happens. So you don't have to worry about % in statements like printMsg(lvlError, "foo: " + s); or throw Error("foo: " + s);
2014-03-12 Remove unnecessary null pointer checksEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
Fixes #225.
2014-02-27 Set up a minimal /dev in chrootsEelco Dolstra3-2/+11
Not bind-mounting the /dev from the host also solves the problem with /dev/shm being a symlink to something not in the chroot.

2013-11-25 Rename Makefile.new -> MakefileEelco Dolstra1-0/+0
2013-11-23 Use libnix as a prefix for all Nix librariesEelco Dolstra1-0/+2
In particular "libutil" was always a problem because it collides with Glibc's libutil. Even if we install into $(libdir)/nix, the linker sometimes got confused (e.g. if a program links against libstore but not libutil, then ld would report undefined symbols in libstore because it was looking at Glibc's libutil).
2013-11-23 Allow (dynamic) libraries to depend on other librariesEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2013-11-22 Support building dynamic librariesEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2013-11-22 Drop the dependency on AutomakeEelco Dolstra1-1/+3
2013-11-22 Rename $(here) to $(d) for brevity, and remove trailing slashEelco Dolstra1-4/+5
2013-11-22 New non-recursive, plain Make-based build systemEelco Dolstra1-0/+10
2013-11-14 Remove nix-setuid-helperEelco Dolstra2-17/+0
AFAIK, nobody uses it, it's not maintained, and it has no tests.
2013-09-17 RestoreSink: Slightly reduce the number of concurrent FDsEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2013-09-06 Don't apply the CPU affinity hack to nix-shell (and other Perl programs)Eelco Dolstra1-6/+5
As discovered by Todd Veldhuizen, the shell started by nix-shell has its affinity set to a single CPU. This is because nix-shell connects to the Nix daemon, which causes the affinity hack to be applied. So we turn this off for Perl programs.
2013-08-26 Fix typos, especially those that end up in the Nix manualIvan Kozik2-3/+3
2013-08-19 Store Nix integers as longsEelco Dolstra2-9/+6
So on 64-bit systems, integers are now 64-bit. Fixes #158.
2013-08-07 Fix build on non-LinuxEelco Dolstra1-0/+2
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/5662914
2013-08-07 Run the daemon worker on the same CPU as the clientEelco Dolstra3-2/+65
On a system with multiple CPUs, running Nix operations through the daemon is significantly slower than "direct" mode: $ NIX_REMOTE= nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system real 0m0.974s user 0m0.875s sys 0m0.088s $ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system real 0m2.118s user 0m1.463s sys 0m0.218s The main reason seems to be that the client and the worker get moved to a different CPU after every call to the worker. This patch adds a hack to lock them to the same CPU. With this, the overhead of going through the daemon is very small: $ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system real 0m1.074s user 0m0.809s sys 0m0.098s
2013-07-30 killUser: Don't let the child kill itself on AppleShea Levy1-0/+13
The kill(2) in Apple's libc follows POSIX semantics, which means that kill(-1, SIGKILL) will kill the calling process too. Since nix has no way to distinguish between the process successfully killing everything and the process being killed by a rogue builder in that case, it can't safely conclude that killUser was successful. Luckily, the actual kill syscall takes a parameter that determines whether POSIX semantics are followed, so we can call that syscall directly and avoid the issue on Apple.

2013-07-12 Garbage collector: Don't follow symlinks arbitrarilyEelco Dolstra2-0/+13
Only indirect roots (symlinks to symlinks to the Nix store) are now supported.
2013-06-20 Don't keep "disabled" substituters runningEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
For instance, it's pointless to keep copy-from-other-stores running if there are no other stores, or download-using-manifests if there are no manifests. This also speeds things up because we don't send queries to those substituters.
2013-06-07 Process stderr from substituters while doing have/info queriesEelco Dolstra2-0/+8
2013-01-03 Remove tabsEelco Dolstra2-46/+46
2013-01-03 Clear any immutable bits in the Nix storeEelco Dolstra4-64/+2
Doing this once makes subsequent operations like garbage collecting more efficient since we don't have to call makeMutable() first.
2012-11-26 Make "nix-build -A <derivation>.<output>" do the right thingEelco Dolstra2-1/+14
For example, given a derivation with outputs "out", "man" and "bin": $ nix-build -A pkg produces ./result pointing to the "out" output; $ nix-build -A pkg.man produces ./result-man pointing to the "man" output; $ nix-build -A pkg.all produces ./result, ./result-man and ./result-bin; $ nix-build -A pkg.all -A pkg2 produces ./result, ./result-man, ./result-bin and ./result-2.
2012-11-15 Don't use std::cerr in a few placesEelco Dolstra2-16/+23
Slightly scared of using std::cerr in a vforked process...
2012-11-15 Add some debug codeEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2012-11-09 Use vfork() instead of fork() if availableEelco Dolstra2-3/+14
Hopefully this reduces the chance of hitting ‘unable to fork: Cannot allocate memory’ errors. vfork() is used for everything except starting builders.
2012-11-09 Remove some redundant close() callsEelco Dolstra1-10/+8
They are unnecessary because we set the close-on-exec flag.
2012-11-09 Remove the quickExit functionEelco Dolstra2-13/+3
2012-10-23 If hashes do not match, print them in base-32 for SHA-1/SHA-256Eelco Dolstra2-0/+9
Fixes #57.
2012-10-04 XML writer: flush after newlinesEelco Dolstra1-4/+4
This is useful for hydra-eval-jobs.
2012-09-28 Handle octal escapes in /proc/self/mountinfoEelco Dolstra2-0/+21
2012-09-19 Remove setting of the immutable bitEelco Dolstra2-26/+2
Using the immutable bit is problematic, especially in conjunction with store optimisation. For instance, if the garbage collector deletes a file, it has to clear its immutable bit, but if the file has additional hard links, we can't set the bit afterwards because we don't know the remaining paths. So now that we support having the entire Nix store as a read-only mount, we may as well drop the immutable bit. Unfortunately, we have to keep the code to clear the immutable bit for backwards compatibility.
2012-09-19 Templatise tokenizeString()Eelco Dolstra2-3/+6
2012-09-11 Include config.h before any other headerEelco Dolstra1-0/+2
"config.h" must be included first, because otherwise the compiler might not see the right value of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. We've had this before; see 705868a8a96a10f70e629433cfffc2d5cd2703eb. In this case, GCC would compute a different address for ‘settings.useSubstitutes’ in misc.cc because of the off_t in ‘settings’.

2012-08-27 Merge branch 'master' into no-manifestsEelco Dolstra2-18/+15
2012-08-20 In the chroot, make all mounted filesystems privateEelco Dolstra2-3/+3
This is required on systemd, which mounts filesystems as "shared" subtrees. Changes to shared trees in a private mount namespace are propagated to the outside world, which is bad.
2012-08-12 Add some basic profiling support to the evaluatorEelco Dolstra1-0/+3
Setting the environment variable NIX_COUNT_CALLS to 1 enables some basic profiling in the evaluator. It will count calls to functions and primops as well as evaluations of attributes. For example, to see where evaluation of a NixOS configuration spends its time: $ NIX_SHOW_STATS=1 NIX_COUNT_CALLS=1 ./src/nix-instantiate/nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system --readonly-mode ... calls to 39 primops: 239532 head 233962 tail 191252 hasAttr ... calls to 1595 functions: 224157 `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix:17:19' 221767 `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix:17:14' 221767 `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix:17:10' ... evaluations of 7088 attributes: 167377 undefined position 132459 `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/attrsets.nix:119:41' 47322 `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/attrsets.nix:13:21' ...
