2021-08-24 r/2771 feat(nix/buildLisp): add eclsterni1-1/+4
Adds ECL as a second supported implementation, specifically a statically linked ECL. This is interesting because we can create statically linked binaries, but has a few drawbacks which doesn't make it generally useful: * Loading things is very slow: The statically linked ECL only has byte compilation available, so when we do load things or use the REPL it is significantly worse than with e. g. SBCL. * We can't load shared objects via the FFI since ECL's dffi is not available when linked statically. This means that as it stands, we can't build a statically linked //web/panettone for example. Since ECL is quite slow anyways, I think these drawbacks are worth it since the biggest reason for using ECL would be to get a statically linked binary. If we change our minds, it shouldn't be too hard to provide ecl-static and ecl-dynamic as separate implementations. ECL is LGPL and some libraries it uses as part of its runtime are as well. I've outlined in the ecl-static overlay why this should be of no concern in the context of depot even though we are statically linking. Currently everything is building except projects that are using cffi to load shared libaries which have gotten an appropriate `badImplementations` entry. To get the rest building the following changes were made: * Anywhere a dependency on UIOP is expressed as `bundled "uiop"` we now use `bundled "asdf"` for all implementations except SBCL. From my testing, SBCL seems to be the only implementation to support using `(require 'uiop)` to only load the UIOP package. Where both a dependency on ASDF and UIOP exists, we just delete the UIOP one. `(require 'asdf)` always causes UIOP to be available. * Where appropriate only conditionally compile SBCL-specific code and if any build the corresponding files for ECL. * //lisp/klatre: Use the standard condition parse-error for all implementations except SBCL in try-parse-integer. * //3p/lisp/ironclad: disable SBCL assembly optimization hack for all other platforms as it may interfere with compilation. * //3p/lisp/trivial-mimes: prevent call to asdf function by substituting it out of the source since it always errors out in ECL and we hardcode the correct path elsewhere anyways. As it stands ECL still suffers from a very weird problem which happens when compiling postmodern and moptilities: https://gitlab.com/embeddable-common-lisp/ecl/-/issues/651 Change-Id: I0285924f92ac154126b4c42145073c3fb33702ed Reviewed-on: https://cl.tvl.fyi/c/depot/+/3297 Tested-by: BuildkiteCI Reviewed-by: tazjin <mail@tazj.in> Reviewed-by: eta <tvl@eta.st>

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).

Profpatsch and me are basically the only users of depot.users.Profpatsch.writers.rustSimple*. To pull in the odd dependency we usually use buildRustCrate which is rather convenient. However we've picked up the bad habit of inlining these in a let somewhere instead of managing them in a more central location although there has been an (unsuccesful) attempt at this in //users/Profpatsch/rust-crates.nix. This CL moves all buildRustCrate based derivations into third_party.rust-crates and deletes any duplicate derivations we have accumulated in the tree.

2021-04-01 r/2393 feat(sterni/nint): shebang interpreter for nix scriptssterni3-0/+244
nint (short for nix interpreter) is a tiny wrapper around nix-instantiate which allows to run nix scripts, i. e. nix expressions that conform to a certain calling convention. A nix script runnable using nint must conform to the following constraints: * It must evaluate to a function which has a set pattern with an ellipsis as the single argument. * It must produce a string as a return value or fail. When invoked, a the expression receives the following arguments: * `currentDir`: the current working directory as a nix path * `argv`: a list of strings containing `argv` including `argv[0]` * extra arguments which are manually specified which allows for passing along dependencies or libraries, for example: nint --arg depot '(import /depot {})' my-prog.nix [ argv[1] … ] would pass along depot to be used in `my-prog.nix`. Such nix scripts are purely functional in a sense: The way inputs can be taken is very limited and causing effects is also only possible in a very limited sense (using builtins.fetchurl if TARBALL_TTL is 0, adding files and directories to the nix store, realising derivations). As an approximation, a program executed using nint can be thought of as a function with the following signature: λ :: environment → working directory → argv → stdout where environment includes: * the time at the start of the program (`builtins.currentTime`) * other information about the machine (`builtins.currentSystem` …) * environment variables (`builtins.getEnv`) * the file system (`builtins.readDir`, `builtins.readFile`, …) which is the biggest input impurity as it may change during evaluation Additionally import from derivation and builtin fetchers are available which introduce further impurities to be utilized. Future work: * Streaming I/O via lazy lists. This would allow usage of stdin and output before the program terminates. However this would require using libexpr directly or writing a custom nix interpreter. A description of how this would work can be found on the website of the esoteric programming language Lazy K: https://tromp.github.io/cl/lazy-k.html * An effect system beyond stdin / stdout. * Better error handling, support setting exit codes etc. These features would require either using an alternative or custom interpreter for nix (tvix or hnix) or to link against libexpr directly to have more control over evaluation.

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".

2021-03-11 r/2277 feat(users/sterni/htmlman): hyperlink .Xr macro in outputsterni1-2/+32
We make use of the -O man=… option of mandoc(1) which allows to convert cross references via the .Xr macro into actual hyperlinks in the output. This can be disabled (by passing "none") or done in two modes: * all: links all .Xr cross references as if they were in $out/%N.%S.html. This will lead to broken links of course. * inManDir: only link to files in $out if the man page is found in manDir, use the template defined in linkXrFallback if not. all is the default, since we don't require all man pages to be in manDir, so it would be potentially confusing if the path attribute was used in the pages list. linkXrFallback uses the debian online man viewer by default currently, since it can be decently hyperlinked and debian has a lot of packages.

2021-03-11 r/2276 feat(users/sterni/htmlman): static site generator for manual pagessterni3-0/+289
htmlman is a very simple nix based static site generator which is intended for rendering HTML representations for man pages plus an index page listing all available pages. For the sake of simplicity (and unlike previous iterations of this piece of code) other documentation artifacts and formats are not supported. Usually web services like GitHub and depot's web interface are pretty good at displaying "normal" documentation artifacts like markdown files, but man pages are usually not rendered — with the additional problem that it's source is virtually unreadable. htmlman should provide a simple static site generator which can be plugged into GitHub actions or the like to automatically generate rendered version of man pages tracked in version control.

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.

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.

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.
