This interface is the only way to construct lazy builtins outside of eval, which

This replaces the OpCode enum with a new Op enum which is guaranteed to fit in a
single byte. Instead of carrying enum variants with data, every variant that has
runtime data encodes it into the `Vec<u8>` that a `Chunk` now carries.
This has several advantages:
* Less stack space is required at runtime, and fewer allocations are required
while compiling.
* The OpCode doesn't need to carry "weird" special-cased data variants anymore.
* It is faster (albeit, not by much). On my laptop, results consistently look
approximately like this:
Benchmark 1: ./before -E '(import <nixpkgs> {}).firefox.outPath' --log-level ERROR --no-warnings
Time (mean ± σ): 8.224 s ± 0.272 s [User: 7.149 s, System: 0.688 s]
Range (min … max): 7.759 s … 8.583 s 10 runs
Benchmark 2: ./after -E '(import <nixpkgs> {}).firefox.outPath' --log-level ERROR --no-warnings
Time (mean ± σ): 8.000 s ± 0.198 s [User: 7.036 s, System: 0.633 s]
Range (min … max): 7.718 s … 8.334 s 10 runs
See notes below for why the performance impact might be less than expected.
* It is faster while at the same time dropping some optimisations we previously
performed.
This has several disadvantages:
* The code is closer to how one would write it in C or Go.
* Bit shifting!
* There is (for now) slightly more code than before.
On performance I have the following thoughts at the moment:
In order to prepare for adding GC, there's a couple of places in Tvix where I'd
like to fence off certain kinds of complexity (such as mutating bytecode, which,
for various reaons, also has to be part of data that is subject to GC). With
this change, we can drop optimisations like retroactively modifying existing
bytecode and *still* achieve better performance than before.
I believe that this is currently worth it to pave the way for changes that are
more significant for performance.
In general this also opens other avenues of optimisation: For example, we can
profile which argument sizes actually exist and remove the copy overhead of
varint decoding (which does show up in profiles) by using more adequately sized
types for, e.g., constant indices.
Known regressions:
* Op::Constant is no longer printing its values in disassembly (this can be
fixed, I just didn't get around to it, will do separately).

`toJSON` transform a Nix structure into a JSON string.
For each context in that Nix structure, the JSON string must possess it.
Thus, it is necessary to take the union of all contexts and attach it to
the final structure.
Unfortunately, the return type of `into_json` is a serde's JSON object,
not a string. Therefore, it is not possible to reuse `NixString`
machinery.
Context tests are reinforced as Nix does not test those behaviors.
Fixes b/393.

Previously, Nix strings were represented as a Box (within Value)
pointing to a tuple of an optional context, and another Box pointing to
the actual string allocation itself. This is pretty inefficient, both in
terms of memory usage (we use 48 whole bytes for a None context!) and in
terms of the extra indirection required to get at the actual data. It
was necessary, however, because with native Rust DSTs if we had
something like `struct NixString(Option<NixContext>, BStr)` we could
only pass around *fat* pointers to that value (with the length in the
pointer) and that'd make Value need to be bigger (which is a waste of
both memory and cache space, since that memory would be unused for all
other Values).
Instead, this commit implements *manual* allocation of a packed string
representation, with the length *in the allocation* as a field past the
context. This requires a big old pile of unsafe Rust, but the payoff is
clear:

Performance has improved.
Fortunately this change can be localized entirely within

(Re-)Adds an error variant that wraps a catchable error kind, which is
used for returning the result of an evaluation.
Previously this would return the internal catchable value, which would
lead to panics if users tried to use these. Somehow this was missed; I

This was well-intentioned, but now the boxed Path values are actually

effect double-boxing here. Removing the extra layer by making
Tvix::Value represented by a Box<Path> rather than a Box<PathBuf> saves
us an indirection, while still avoiding the extra memory overhead of the

C++ nix uses C-style zero-terminated char pointers to represent strings
internally - however, up to this point, tvix has used Rust `String` and
`str` for string values. Since those are required to be valid utf-8, we
haven't been able to properly represent all the string values that Nix
supports.
To fix that, this change converts the internal representation of the
NixString struct from `Box<str>` to `BString`, from the `bstr` crate -
this is a wrapper around a `Vec<u8>` with extra functions for treating
that byte vector as a "morally string-like" value, which is basically
exactly what we need.
Since this changes a pretty fundamental assumption about a pretty core
type, there are a *lot* of changes in a lot of places to make this work,
but I've tried to keep the general philosophy and intent of most of the
code in most places intact. Most notably, there's nothing that's been
done to make the derivation stuff in //tvix/glue work with non-utf8
strings everywhere, instead opting to just convert to String/str when
passing things into that - there *might* be something to be done there,
but I don't know what the rules should be and I don't want to figure
them out in this change.
To deal with OS-native paths in a way that also works in WASM for
tvixbolt, this also adds a dependency on the "os_str_bytes" crate.

r/7176 introduced an incorrect assumption was the benefit of the
nonrecursive coercion algorithm, namely that a coercion operation always
returns a non empty string. This allows to detect whether we are
coercing a list or not by checking if the intermediate result is empty
or not. Unfortunately, coercing null and false yields an empty string,
so we need to explicitly track whether we are coercing a list.
Updated the test case to hopefully catch similar bugs in the future. I'm
not a hundred percent certain I have not introduced a new edge case with
this, so it may be interesting to add a prop test case for this to
nix_oracle down the line. At least lists are the only nested data
structures that can be serialized as nested data structures, so the
problem is kind of limited.

The default behavior of string coercion in C++ Nix is to weakly coerce
and import to store if necessary. There is a flag to make it strongly
coerce (coerceMore) and a flag that controls whether path values have
the corresponding file/directory imported into the store before
returning the (store) path as a string (copyToStore). We need to
implement our equivalent to the copyToStore (import_paths) flag for the
benefit of weak coercions that don't import into the store (dirOf,
baseNameOf, readFile, ...) and strong coercions that don't import into
the store (toString).
This makes coerce_to_string as well as CoercionKind weirder and more
versatile, but prevents us from reimplementing parts of the coercion
logic constantly as can be seen in the case of baseNameOf.
Note that it is not possible to test this properly in //tvix/eval tests
due to the lack of an appropriate EvalIO implementation being available.
Tests should be added to //tvix/glue down the line.

After this commit, the only non-builtins uses of generators are:
- coerce_to_string() uses generators::request_enter_lambda()
- Thunk::force() uses generators::request_enter_lambda()
That's it! Once those two are taken care of, GenCo can become an
implementation detail of `builtins::BuiltinGen`. No more crazy
nonlocal flow control within the interpreter: if you've got a GenCo
floating around in your code it's because you're writing a builtin,
which isn't part of the core interpreter. The interpreter won't
need GenCos to talk to itself anymore.
Technically generators::request_path_import() is also used by
coerce_to_string(), but that's just because the io_handle happens to
be part of the VM. There's no recursion-depth issue there, so the
call doesn't need to go through the generator mechanism
(request_path_import() doesn't call back to the interpreter!)

I originally believed that this commit would make evaluation faster.
In fact it is slightly slower. I believe this is due to the added

This is part of a fix for b/338.
We should never use PartialOrd::partial_cmp().
All Nix types except floats are obviously totally-ordered. In
addition, it turns out that because Nix treats division by zero
rather than producing a NaN, and because it does not support
"negative zero", even floats are in fact totally ordered in Nix.
Therefore, every call to PartialOrd::partial_cmp() in tvix is an
error. We have to *implement* this function, but we should never
call it on built-in types.
Moreover, nix_cmp_ordering() currently returns an Option<Ordering>.
I'm not sure what was going on there, since it's impossible for it
to return None. This commit fixes it to return simply Ordering
rather than Option<Ordering>.

calls to Thunk::force(), the new form no longer uses generators, and
is async only because of the fact that it calls Thunk::force().
I believed that the nonrecursive form would be faster. It is, in
fact, slightly slower. I believe this is due to the vec![]
allocation; I am investigating.

This commit rewrites Thunk::force() so that it is not (directly)
self-recursive. It maintains a Vec of all the
previously-encountered thunks which point to the one it is currently
forcing, rather than recursively calling itself.
Benefits:
- Short term:
This commit saves the cost of a round-trip through the generator
machinery for the generators::request_force() which is removed by
this commit.
- Medium term:
Once a similar transformation has been applied to nix_cmp(),
nix_add(), nix_eq(), and coerce_to_string(), those four functions,
along with Thunk::force(), will make non-tail calls only to each
other. They can then be merged into a single tail-recursive
function which does not use the generator machinery at all:
enum Task { Cmp, Add, Eq, CoerceToString, Force};
fn Value::walk(task:Task, v1:Value, v2:Value) {
// ...
- Long term:
The long-term goal here is to use generators **only for builtins**
and [Marionette]-style remote control of the VM. In other words:
use `async` for things that actually involve concurrency. Calls
from the VM to builtins can then be blocking calls, because even
cppnix will overflow the stack if you make a MAX_STACK_DEPTH-deep
recursive call which passes through a builtin at every stack frame
(e.g. `{ func = builtins.sort (a: b: ... func ...) ...}`).
This way the inner "tight loop" of the interpreter doesn't pay the
costs of `async` and generators. These costs manifest in terms
of: performance, complex nonlocal control flow, and language
impediments (async Rust is a restricted subset of real Rust, and
is missing things like traits).

This commit makes catchable errors a variant of Value.
The main downside of this approach is that we lose the ability to
use Rust's `?` syntax for propagating catchable errors.

When dealing with a formal argument in a function argument pattern that
has a default expression, there are two different things that can happen
at runtime: Either we select its value from the passed attribute
successfully or we need to use the default expression. Both of these may
be thunks and both of these may need finalisers. However, in the former
case this is taken care of elsewhere, the value will always be finalised
already if necessary. In the latter case we may need to finalise the
thunk resulting from the default expression. However, the thunk
corresponding to the expression may never end up in the local's stack
slot. Since finalisation goes by stack slot (and not constants), we need
to prevent a case where we don't fall back to the default expression,
but finalise anyways.
Previously, we worked around this by making `OpFinalise` ignore
non-thunks. Since finalisation of already evaluated thunks still
crashed, the faulty compilation of function pattern arguments could
still cause a crash.
As a new approach, we reinstate the old behavior of `OpFinalise` to
crash whenever encountering something that is either not a thunk or
doesn't need finalisation. This can also help catching (similar)
miscompilations in the future. To then prevent the crash, we need to
track whether we have fallen back or not at runtime. This is done using
an additional phantom on the stack that holds a new `FinaliseRequest`
value. When it comes to finalisation we check this value and
conditionally execute `OpFinalise` based on its value.
Resolves b/261 and b/265 (partially).

In order for the test suite we have currently to be comparable to C++
Nix, we need to display values in the same way. This was largely the
case except in some weird cases.
* <CODE> for thunks and <CYCLE> for repeated thunks (?) are already in
use. <CODE> formatting is tested by the oracle test suite already.
* Instead of lambda, we need to use <LAMBDA>
* <<primop>> and <<primop-app>> (a formatting C++ Nix uses nowhere)
now are <PRIMOP> and <PRIMOP-APP>.
We'll probably want to have a fancier display of values (in a separate
trait) down the line. This could be used for interactive usage, e.g. the
REPL or a potential debugger.
There is a peculiarity with C++ Nix 2.3 formatting primops: import is
considered a <<PRIMOP-APP>>, since it is internally implemented by means
of scopedImport. This implementation detail no longer leaks in C++ Nix
2.13 nor in Tvix.
<CYCLE> display is untested at the moment, since we exhibit a
discrepancy to C++ Nix 2.3. Our current detection is more similar to C++
Nix 2.13—luckily it is also the more consistent of the two. See also
b/245.

C++ Nix forces and typechecks the passed argument even if it is not
necessary in order to compute the return value of the function. I
discovered this when I thought our formals miscompilation might be that
we are too strict, but doesn't look like it in this case.

This is step 1 towards being able to use all 4 spans that we know when
dealing with infinite recursion. It tracks the span at which the
force of a thunk was first requested when constructing a blackhole, so
that we can highlight the spans of the first and second forces.
These are actually the least relevant spans, but the easiest to put in
place, more coming soon.

Given Rust's current lack of support for tail calls, we cannot avoid
using `async` for builtins. This is the only way to avoid
overflowing the cpu stack when we have arbitrarily deep
builtin/interpreted/builtin/interpreted/... "sandwiches"
There are only five `async fn` functions which are not builtins
(some come in multiple "flavors"):
- add_values
- resolve_with
- force, final_deep_force
- nix_eq, nix_cmp_eq
- coerce_to_string
These can be written iteratively rather than recursively (and in
fact nix_eq used to be written that way!). I volunteer to rewrite
them. If written iteratively they would no longer need to be
`async`.
There are two motivations for limiting our reliance on `async` to
only the situation (builtins) where we have no other choice:
1. Performance.
We don't really have any good measurement of the performance hit
that the Box<dyn Future>s impose on us. Right now all of our
large (nixpkgs-eval) tests are swamped by the cost of other
things (e.g. fork()ing `nix-store`) so we can't really measure
it. Builtins tend to be expensive operations anyways
(regexp-matching, sorting, etc) that are likely to already cost
more than the `async` overhead.
2. Preserving the ability to switch to `musttail` calls.
Clang/LLVM recently got `musttail` (mandatory-elimination tail
calls). Rust has refused to add this mainly because WASM doesn't
support, but WASM `tail_call` has been implemented and was
recently moved to phase 4 (standardization). It is very likely
that Rust will get tail calls sometime in the next year; if it
does, we won't need async anymore. In the meantime, I'd like to
avoid adding any further reliance on `async` in places where it
wouldn't be straightforward to replace it with a tail call.

This drops the usage of serde::Serialize, as the trait can not be used
to implement the correct semantics (function colouring!).
Instead, a manual JSON serialisation function is written which
correctly handles toString, outPath and other similar weirdnesses.
Unexpectedly, the eval-okay-tojson test from the C++ Nix test suite
now passes, too.
This fixes an issue where serialising data structures containing
derivations to JSON would fail.
