2020-07-23 r/1424 feat(3p/nix): remove builtins.importNativeAlyssa Ross2-55/+0
This is the shared object equivalent of builtins.exec, or a plugins equivalent accessible from the Nix language. Either way, since we don't have builtins.exec or plugins any more, I think it makes sense to remove this builtin. This will also allow us to drop the allow-unsafe-native-code-during-evaluation option, which formerly controlled whether builtins.exec and builtins.importNative were enabled.

2020-07-20 r/1408 chore(3p/nix): Remove support for pluginsGriffin Smith1-3/+1
Plugins seem to not really be used anywhere (I can find one plugin that's actually defined, and it doesn't seem very useful, especially since we got rid of builtins.exec) and their presence is adding additional complexity and potential sources of bugs to an already unsteady refactor. At some point we may want to bring back something *like* plugins, but their design will likely be different and it will definitely be after we have a functioning Nix again.

2020-07-18 r/1377 refactor(3p/nix/libexpr): Back Nix lists with std::vectorVincent Ambo11-205/+141
This change does away with the previous special-casing of lists of certain element sizes, and the use of raw C-style arrays. Lists are now backed by a std::vector of nix::Value*, which uses the traceable GC allocator. This change is unfortunately quite noisy because the accessor methods were updated/removed accordingly, so all callsites of Nix-related lists have changed. For some operations in primops.cc where keeping the previous code structure would have been more difficult with a "proper" vector, the implementation has been replaced with std::vector methods. For example, list concatenation now uses appropriate range inserts. Anecdotally the performance of this is about equal, to even slightly better, than the previous implementation. All language tests pass and the depot paths I've used for testing still evaluate.

This reverts parts of the CLs splitting the backing implementation for Bindings and moves back to only the BTreeMap-backed implementation. Our evaluation has indicated that the Vector-backed implementation does not match the performance of the plain array used upstream, and in my view the complexity introduced by it is not worth the relatively small (single-digit percentage) performance increase with a pivot-point close to the number of attributes yielded by stdenv.mkDerivation. Going forward we will trial implementations of attribute sets backed by HAMTs, and investigate other mechanisms of speeding up the language. Some changes from the previous CLs are retained, for example the removal of insert_or_assign and the passing of capacity.

To pave the way for the thing we want to do eventually which is use a linear-time array for bindings (aka attribute sets) that are statically known to be small enough to get a performance benefit from doing so, make the Bindings class abstract, and define a BTreeBindings class that inherits from it and is (currently always) returned from the static initializer. The idea is that we'll have an ArrayBindings class as well later that we can dispatch to conditionally based on an optional "capacity" parameter or something like that. There was some difficulty here in getting the iterator to work - the approach we settled on ended up making a concrete BindingsIterator class which will wrap a std::variant of either a btree iterator or something else later, but right now just wraps a btree iterator.

nix:AttrName was one of the few classes that relied on the default constructor of nix::Symbol (which I am trying to remove in a separate change). The class essentially represents the name of an attribute in a set, which is either just a string expression or a dynamically evaluated expression (e.g. string interpolation). Previously it would be constructed by only setting one of the fields and defaulting the other, now it is an explicit std::variant. Note that there are several code paths where not all eventualities are handled and this code is bug-for-bug compatible with those, except that unknown conditions (which should never work) are now throwing instead of silently doing ... something. The language tests pass with this change, and the depot derivations that I tested with evaluated successfully.

2020-05-28 r/868 refactor(3p/nix): Introduce CMake as the build system for NixVincent Ambo1-0/+75
Completes the switch from Meson to CMake for the core build system in Nix. Meson was added originally because someone else had already done the work for integrating it in Nix and it was an upgrade from the previous setup. However over time it became clear that Meson is not quite mature enough for projects like Nix that have occasionally peculiar configuration constraints. Some issues encountered with Meson (some of these are due to the Meson setup in Nix): * Difficulty with generating correct compile_commands.json for external tools like clangd * Difficulty linking to libc++ when using clang * Ugly shell invocations for certain parts of the build system (I want these to be gone!!!) This CMake setup mimics the Meson configuration, but there are some differences (some temporary): * headers are now included separately for each library (see a previous commit that changes includes appropriately) * autoheaders-style configuration is currently hardcoded. Before blindly copying this I want to evaluate how much of it actually exists for portability concerns that I don't have (such as support for OS X). * Nix is built with libc++ by default. * [libstore] SQL schema is now inlined via a generated header, not an included string literal Abseil is still built as part of this build, rather than an external dependency, because it chokes on differently configured compiler invocations. Note that because of the move to libc++ an unwanted behaviour is introduced: glog log messages no longer have a body. I have yet to debug what is going on there.
2020-05-27 r/867 chore(3p/nix): Remove meson build files for core packagesVincent Ambo1-97/+0
2020-05-27 r/865 refactor(3p/nix): Anchor local includes at src/Vincent Ambo33-109/+107
Previously all includes were anchored in one global mess of header files. This moves the includes into filesystem "namespaces" (if you will) for each sub-package of Nix. Note: This commit does not introduce the relevant build system changes.
2020-05-25 r/846 refactor(3p/nix): Replace tokenizeStrings with absl::StrSplitVincent Ambo3-9/+14
This function was a custom (and inefficient in the case of single-character delimiters) string splitter which was used all over the codebase. Abseil provides an appropriate replacement function.
2020-05-25 r/845 refactor(3p/nix/libutil): Replace hasPrefix/Suffix with AbseilVincent Ambo3-9/+13
Uses the equivalent absl::StartsWith and absl::EndsWith functions instead.
2020-05-25 r/843 refactor(3p/nix/libutil): Replace string2Int & trim functionsVincent Ambo3-4/+9
Replaces these functions with corresponding functions from Abseil, namely absl::StripAsciiWhitespace and absl::SimpleAtoi. In the course of doing this some minor things I encountered along the way were also refactored. This also changes the signatures of the various custom readFile functions to use absl::string_view types.
2020-05-24 r/840 style(3p/nix): Remove 'using std::*' from types.hhVincent Ambo13-110/+123
It is considered bad form to use things from includes in headers, as these directives propagate to everywhere else and can make it confusing. types.hh (which is includes almost literally everywhere) had some of these directives, which this commit removes.
2020-05-24 r/835 refactor(3p/nix/libutil): Replace chomp() with absl::stringsVincent Ambo2-3/+9
2020-05-23 r/829 fix(3p/nix/libexpr): Ensure ExprOpUpdate merges into destinationVincent Ambo1-17/+5
... this fixes nixpkgs eval!
2020-05-23 r/828 refactor(3p/nix/libexpr): Make other 'const' in Bindings::mergeVincent Ambo2-8/+5
2020-05-23 r/827 fix(3p/nix/libexpr): Actually use AttributeMap type aliasVincent Ambo1-2/+2
Without this alias, the garbage-collecting allocator won't be used and allocated attribute set values won't be visible during GC.
2020-05-23 r/826 docs(3p/nix/libexpr): Add comment on ExprSelectVincent Ambo1-1/+8
2020-05-23 r/825 docs(3p/nix/libexpr): Add some comments about function callsVincent Ambo2-5/+10
These were things that took me a moment to realise.
