* It is tough to contribute to a project that doesn't use a formatter,
* It is extra hard to contribute to a project which has configured the formatter, but ignores it for some files
* Code formatting makes it harder to hide obscure / weird bugs by accident or on purpose,
Let's rip the bandaid off?
Note that PRs currently in flight should be able to be merged relatively easily by applying `clang-format` to their tip prior to merge.

This change fixes a potential concurrency failure when accessing random
which is not thread safe.

The intention is to switch to transparent comparators from N3657 for
ordered set containers for strings and using the alias consistently
would simplify things.
Revert most of "Hack together a fix for the public headers"
- The `libmain` change is kept, and one more libmain change is made.
(Need to update Meson and Nix per the package alike).
- The S3 situation is fixed in a different way: the variable is public
now, used in the header, and fixed accordingly.
- Fix TODO for `HAVE_EMBEDDED_SANDBOX_SHELL`
This reverts commit 2b51250534.
For example, instead of doing
#include "nix/store-config.hh"
#include "nix/derived-path.hh"
Now do
#include "nix/store/config.hh"
#include "nix/store/derived-path.hh"
This was originally planned in the issue, and also recent requested by
Eelco.
Most of the change is purely mechanical. There is just one small
additional issue. See how, in the example above, we took this
opportunity to also turn `<comp>-config.hh` into `<comp>/config.hh`.
Well, there was already a `nix/util/config.{cc,hh}`. Even though there
is not a public configuration header for libutil (which also would be
called `nix/util/config.{cc,hh}`) that's still confusing, To avoid any
such confusion, we renamed that to `nix/util/configuration.{cc,hh}`.
Finally, note that the libflake headers already did this, so we didn't
need to do anything to them. We wouldn't want to mistakenly get
`nix/flake/flake/flake.hh`!
Progress on #7876
There are two big changes:
1. Public and private config is now separated. Configuration variables
that are only used internally do not go in a header which is
installed.
(Additionally, libutil has a unix-specific private config header,
which should only be used in unix-specific code. This keeps things a
bit more organized, in a purely private implementation-internal way.)
2. Secondly, there is no more `-include`. There are very few config
items that need to be publically exposed, so now it is feasible to
just make the headers that need them just including the (public)
configuration header.
And there are also a few more small cleanups on top of those:
- The configuration files have better names.
- The few CPP variables that remain exposed in the public headers are
now also renamed to always start with `NIX_`. This ensures they should
not conflict with variables defined elsewhere.
- We now always use `#if` and not `#ifdef`/`#ifndef` for our
configuration variables, which helps avoid bugs by requiring that
variables must be defined in all cases.
The short answer for why we need to do this is so we can consistently do
`#include "nix/..."`. Without this change, there are ways to still make
that work, but they are hacky, and they have downsides such as making it
harder to make sure headers from the wrong Nix library (e..g.
`libnixexpr` headers in `libnixutil`) aren't being used.
The C API alraedy used `nix_api_*`, so its headers are *not* put in
subdirectories accordingly.
Progress on #7876
We resisted doing this for a while because it would be annoying to not
have the header source file pairs close by / easy to change file
path/name from one to the other. But I am ameliorating that with
symlinks in the next commit.
- Some headers were completely redundant and have been removed.
- Other headers have been turned private.
- Unnecessary meson.build code has been removed.
- libutil-tests now has a private config header, where previously
it had none. This removes the need to expose a package version
macro publicly.
Default: istty(stdout)
This refactors `nix develop` internals a bit to use the `json` type
more. The assertion now operates in the in-memory json instead of
re-parsing it. While this is technically a weaker guarantee, we
should be able to rely on the library to get this right. It's its
most essential purpose.
Logging to another Logger was kind of nonsensical - it was really just
an easy way to get it to write its output to stderr, but that only
works if the underlying logger writes to stderr.
This change is needed to make it easy to log JSON output somewhere
else (like a file or socket).
Fix a footgun. In my case, I had a couple of build ("output")
directories sitting around.
rm -rf build-*
Was confused for a bit why a meson.build file was missing.
Probably also helps with autocompletion.
I tried meson-build-support first, but I had to add something like
a nix- prefix, in order to make meson happy. They've reserved the
meson- prefix.
This reduces the amount of boilerplate. More importantly, it provides
a place to add compiler flags (such as -O3) without having to add it
to every subproject (and the risk of forgetting to include it).
This patch gets rid of UB when verbosity exceeds the maximum logging value of `lvlVomit = 7` and
reaches invalid values (e.g. 8). This is actually triggered in functional tests.
There are too many occurrences to list, but here's one from the UBSAN log:
../src/libstore/gc.cc:610:5: runtime error: load of value 8, which is not a valid value for type 'Verbosity'
This may occur when stderr is a tty but stdin is empty.
E.g.
$ nix build </dev/null
error: unexpected EOF reading a line
These stdio handles are how some non-interactive sandboxes behave,
including the Nix build sandbox and Hercules CI Effects.
