$ nix copy --derivation --to /tmp/nix /nix/store/...
error: cannot enqueue a work item while the thread pool is shutting down
The ThreadPoolShutDown exception was hiding the reason for the thread
pool shut down, e.g.
error: cannot add path '/nix/store/03sl46khd8gmjpsad7223m32ma965vy9-fix-static.patch' because it lacks a signature by a trusted key
This fixes segfaults with nix copy when there was an error processing
addMultipleToStore.
Running with ASAN/TSAN pointed at an use-after-free with threads from
the pool accessing the graph declared in processGraph after the function
was exiting and destructing the variables.
It turns out that if there is an error before pool.process() is called,
for example while we are still enqueuing tasks, then pool.process()
isn't called and threads are still left to run.
By creating the pool last we ensure that it is stopped first before
running other destructors even if an exception happens early.
[ lix porting note: nix does not name threads so the patch has been
adapted to not pass thread name ]

Commit cfe66dbec updated `nix upgrade-nix` to use
`ExecutablePath::load().find`, which broke the logic for finding the
profile associated with the nix executable. The error looks something
like:
```
$ sudo -i nix upgrade-nix --debug
found Nix in '"/nix/store/46p1z0w9ad605kky62dr53z4h24k2a5r-nix-2.25.2/bin/nix"'
found profile '/nix/store/46p1z0w9ad605kky62dr53z4h24k2a5r-nix-2.25.2/bin'
error: directory '"/nix/store/46p1z0w9ad605kky62dr53z4h24k2a5r-nix-2.25.2/bin/nix"' does not appear to be part of a Nix profile
```
This seems to happen for two reasons:
1. The original PATH search resulted in a directory, but `find` returns
the path to the executable. Fixed by getting the path's parent.
2. The profile symlink cannot be found because
`ExecutablePath::load().find` canonicalizes the executable path. I
updated find to normalize the path instead, which seems more in line
with how other programs resolve paths. I'm not sure if this affects
other callers though.
I manually tested this on macOS and Linux, and it seemed to fix
upgrading from 2.25.2 to 2.25.3.
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.
Before this change, expressions like:
with import <nixpkgs> {};
runCommand "foo" {} ''
echo '@nix {}' >&$NIX_LOG_FD
''
would result in Lix crashing, because accessing nonexistent fields of
a JSON object throws an exception.
Rather than handling each field individually, we just catch JSON
exceptions wholesale. Since these log messages are an unusual
circumstance, log a warning when this happens.
Fixes#544.

This prevents any potential cases of deletion through base pointer and its
non-virtual dtor, which might leak memory. Also gets rid of the warning:
