2021-11-25 r/3090 chore(sterni/nix/utf8): remove decodeSafesterni1-14/+0
This is not really used anywhere and kind of useless. A better decodeSafe would never return null and instead make use of replacement characters to represent invalid bytes in the input. Change-Id: Ib4111529bf0e472dbfa720a5d0b939c2d2511de5

2021-11-23 r/3085 refactor(sterni/nix/utf8): use genericClosure for decoding iterationsterni1-23/+46
builtins.genericClosure is a quite powerful (and undocumented) Nix primop: It repeatedly applies a function to values it produces and collects them into a list. Additionally individual results can be identified via a key attribute. Since genericClosure only ever creates a single list value internally, we can eliminate a huge performance bottleneck when building a list in a recursive algorithm: list concatenation. Because Nix needs to copy the entire chunk of memory used internally to represent the list, building big lists one element at a time grinds Nix to a halt. After rewriting decode using genericClosure decoding the LaTeX source of my 20 page term paper now takes 2s instead of 14min. Change-Id: I33847e4e7dd95d7f4d78ac83eb0d74a9867bfe80

This is mostly to yet another silly idea which turns out to be possible. This may be actually useful should I implement more sophisticated format specifiers like "%xd" or "%f".

2021-04-12 r/2495 feat(sterni/nix/fun): add hasEllipsissterni2-0/+43
As a complementation to builtins.functionArgs this function checks if the function has a set pattern that contains an ellipsis (i. e. `{ [arg, [ arg1, [ … ]]] ... }:`). The implementation of this is pretty cursed however since there is no clean way to do this in vanilla nix: We need to match on the output of builtins.toXML which does try to serialize functions by outputting their argument and information about it (whether it is a normal argument or a attribute set pattern, in the latter case it also serialize every component of the pattern).

2021-04-01 r/2385 feat(sterni/nix/url): implement urldecodingsterni2-0/+46
We use builtins.split directly as it should be a bit more efficient as lib.splitStrings. Also its returning of a list for every regex match is useful to update the state while parsing the tokens: * The tokens are obtained by splitting the string at every '%' * Everytime we see a boundary (that is a list in the returned list of builtins.split), we know that the first two chars of the next string are a percent encoded character. One implementation flaw is that it will currently crash if it encounters mal-formed URLs (since int.fromHex chrashes if it encounters any non hex digit characters) and accepts some malformed urlencoding like "foo %A".

2021-03-05 r/2270 feat(users/sterni/nix/utf8): pure nix utf-8 decodersterni3-0/+332
users.sterni.nix.utf8 implements UTF-8 decoding in pure nix. We implement the decoding as a simple state machine which is fed one byte at a time. Decoding whole strings is possible by subsequently calling step. This is done in decode which uses builtins.foldl' to get around recursion restrictions and a neat trick using builtins.deepSeq puck showed me limiting the size of the thunks in a foldl' (which can also cause a stack overflow). This makes decoding arbitrarily large UTF-8 files into codepoints using nix theoretically possible, but it is not really practical: Decoding a 36KB LaTeX file I had lying around takes ~160s on my laptop.

2021-03-05 r/2269 feat(users/sterni/nix/flow): add switch conditionalsterni1-23/+53
switch would probably otherwise be called match, but has been renamed so it isn't confused with string.match and the enum matching capabilities yants has. It implements the closest to pattern matching nix can come which is still flexible enough to not be painful: Syntactically it works like cond, but is given a value. Instead of booleans it checks passed predicates or equality if simple values are passed. Both types of checks can be mixed.

Since nix ends the substring at the end of the string anyways we can just statically use the largest nix integer as the length of the string.

2021-03-01 r/2257 feat(users/sterni/nix): add sternis nix libsterni12-0/+811
What you see here is mostly the fallout of me implementing a correct urlencode implementation in nix for Profpatsch's blog implementation (although they'll probably keep it at arm's length). Where I want to go from here: * Extend this library towards general purpose nix™, mainly by implementing missing interfaces which you'd still have to use <nixpkgs/lib> for right now. Reexposing parts of <nixpkgs/lib> with better naming is fine for now, at some point I'd contemplate making this depend on nothing outside of depot, maybe even itself (should be easy we only use yants for an easily replaceable check). * Improve error messages possibly by carefully reintroducing yants. I originally typed essentially everything using yants, but turns out this can a) be dangerous when stuff you are handling throws because type checking means evaluating and b) has a incredible performance cost in some cases. * Reexpose builtins with better naming and slightly wrapped so they don't unrecoverably throw in cases where a null or something would suffice.
