This enables building annotated dependency graphs that track which files create which dependencies. ## New API: buildStorePathGraphFromScan() **Purpose**: Convert file-level scan results into a StorePath-level graph **How it works**: 1. Calls scanForReferencesDeep() to find which files contain references 2. For each file that references another store path: - Adds edge: rootStorePath → referencedStorePath - Attaches FileListEdgeProperty with the file path 3. Returns DependencyGraph **Key benefit**: The graph carries file-level provenance. When you see an edge A→B, you can query which files in A reference B. Essential for: - why-depends output showing exact file locations - Future: detailed cycle error messages ## API Changes **scanForReferencesDeep() callback signature**: ```cpp // Before: std::function // After: std::function ``` Pass by const-ref to avoid copying large result structures. ## Usage Example ```cpp auto graph = buildStorePathGraphFromScan( *accessor, CanonPath("/nix/store/abc-foo"), storePathAbc, candidateRefs ); // Query file annotations auto edgeProp = graph.getEdgeProperty(storePathAbc, storePathDef); // edgeProp->files contains files that created this edge ``` ## Implementation Details - Uses DependencyGraph's edge properties feature - FileListEdgeProperty defined in dependency-graph.hh - Merges duplicate edges (multiple files → same path) - Debug logging for discovered edges - Zero overhead if file-level detail not needed --- .../include/nix/store/path-references.hh | 25 ++++++++++++++- src/libstore/path-references.cc | 31 +++++++++++++++++-- 2 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/libstore/include/nix/store/path-references.hh b/src/libstore/include/nix/store/path-references.hh index 6aa506da4..cfaa76f3b 100644 --- a/src/libstore/include/nix/store/path-references.hh +++ b/src/libstore/include/nix/store/path-references.hh @@ -3,10 +3,12 @@ #include "nix/store/references.hh" #include "nix/store/path.hh" +#include "nix/store/dependency-graph.hh" #include "nix/util/source-accessor.hh" #include #include +#include namespace nix { @@ -59,7 +61,7 @@ void scanForReferencesDeep( SourceAccessor & accessor, const CanonPath & rootPath, const StorePathSet & refs, - std::function callback);

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Replaces manual graph traversal in `nix why-depends` with the new DependencyGraph infrastructure. Simplifies code while maintaining identical output and behavior. ## Changes to why-depends **Before**: Custom Node struct with manual Dijkstra implementation - 150+ lines of graph management boilerplate - Manual priority queue and distance tracking - Custom reverse reference bookkeeping - Inline file scanning mixed with graph traversal **After**: Clean API calls to DependencyGraph - Replaced Node struct with DependencyGraph - Replaced manual Dijkstra with computeDistancesFrom() - Use getSuccessors() instead of managing refs/rrefs - Extracted findHashContexts() helper for clarity **Improvements**: - ~50 lines shorter, easier to understand - C++20 ranges for cleaner iteration - Separated concerns: graph ops vs. file scanning vs. formatting - Complex algorithms now in well-tested DependencyGraph ## Example Transformation ```cpp // Before: Manual graph building std::map graph; for (auto & path : closure) graph.emplace(path, Node{...}); for (auto & node : graph) for (auto & ref : node.second.refs) graph.find(ref)->second.rrefs.insert(node.first); // After: Use DependencyGraph API StorePathGraph depGraph(*store, closure); depGraph.computeDistancesFrom(dependencyPath); auto successors = depGraph.getSuccessors(nodePath); ``` ## Helper Extraction **findHashContexts()**: Extracted file scanning into reusable function - Takes accessor, reference paths, target hash - Returns hash → formatted context strings - Keeps printNode() focused on graph traversal ## Test Improvements **references.cc**: Changed ASSERT_EQ → EXPECT_EQ - EXPECT continues after failure, shows all results - Better debugging when multiple assertions fail - GoogleTest best practice ## Behavior Preservation **Critical**: Pure refactoring, zero user-visible changes - Identical output format - Same algorithm (Dijkstra shortest paths) - Same filtering/highlighting - Same CLI interface ## Benefits 1. **Maintainability**: Algorithms in shared, tested infrastructure 2. **Correctness**: DependencyGraph thoroughly unit tested 3. **Reusability**: Other commands can now use DependencyGraph 4. **Readability**: why-depends focused on UI, not graph algorithms 5. **Future-proof**: Sets stage for improved error messages --- src/libstore-tests/references.cc | 18 +- src/nix/why-depends.cc | 310 ++++++++++++++----------------- 2 files changed, 145 insertions(+), 183 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/libstore-tests/references.cc b/src/libstore-tests/references.cc index 9cecd573e..09184f61a 100644 --- a/src/libstore-tests/references.cc +++ b/src/libstore-tests/references.cc @@ -32,7 +32,7 @@ TEST_P(RewriteTest, IdentityRewriteIsIdentity) auto rewriter = RewritingSink(param.rewrites, rewritten);
