Make it separate from Hash, since other things can be base-encoded too.
This isn't really needed for Nix, but it makes the code easier to read
e.g. for someone reimplementing this stuff in a different language. (Of
course, Base16/Base64 should be gotten off-the-shelf, but now the hash
code, which is more bespoke, is less cluttered with the parts that would
be from some library.)
Many reimplementations of "Nix32" and our hash type already exist, so
this cleanup is coming years too late, but I say better late than never
/ it is always good to nudge the code in the direction of being a
"living spec".

* 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.
The existing header is a bit too big. Now the following use-cases are
separated, and get their own headers:
- Using or implementing an arbitrary store: remaining `store-api.hh`
This is closer to just being about the `Store` (and `StoreConfig`)
classes, as one would expect.
- Opening a store from a textual description: `store-open.hh`
Opening an aribtrary store implementation like this requires some sort
of store registration mechanism to exists, but the caller doesn't need
to know how it works. This just exposes the functions which use such a
mechanism, without exposing the mechanism itself
- Registering a store implementation: `store-registration.hh`
This requires understanding how the mechanism actually works, and the
mechanism in question involves templated machinery in headers we
rather not expose to things that don't need it, as it would slow down
compilation for no reason.
The intention is to switch to transparent comparators from N3657 for
ordered set containers for strings and using the alias consistently
would simplify things.
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
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.
`auto &&` and `T &&` are forwarding references and can be
either lvalue or rvalue references. Moving from universal references
is incorrect and should not be done.
Moving from integral or floating-point values is pointless and just
worsens debug performance.
Since #8766, invalid base64 is rendered in errors, but we don't actually
want to show this in the case of an invalid private keys.

This was accidentally removed in
e989c83b44. I restored it and also did a
few other cleanups:
- Make a static method for namespacing purposes
- Put the test files in the data dir with the other test data
- Avoid mutating globals in the machine config tests
This will be used by Hydra.
This is more conceptually correct (the order does not matter), and also
matches what Hydra already does.
(Nix and Hydra matching is needed for dedup
https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/issues/1164)
All OS and IO operations should be moved out, leaving only some misc
portable pure functions.
This is useful to avoid copious CPP when doing things like Windows and
Emscripten ports.
Newly exposed functions to break cycles:
- `restoreSignals`
- `updateWindowSize`
Currently machine specification (`/etc/nix/machine`) parser fails
with a vague exception if the file had incorrect format.
This commit adds verbose exceptions and unit-tests for the parser.
This is already used by Hydra, and is very useful when materializing
a remote builder list from service discovery. This allows the service
discovery tool to only sync one file instead of two.
This seems more correct. It also means one can specify the features a
store should support with --store and remote-store=..., which is useful.
I use this to clean up the build remotes test.
You can now include files via the "builders" option, using the syntax
"@<filename>". Having only one option makes it easier to override
builders completely.
For backward compatibility, the default is "@/etc/nix/machines", or
"@<filename>" for each file name in NIX_REMOTE_SYSTEMS.
This is useful for one-off situations where you want to specify a
builder on the command line instead of having to mess with
nix.machines. E.g.
$ nix-build -A hello --argstr system x86_64-darwin \
--option builders 'root@macstadium1 x86_64-darwin'
will perform the specified build on "macstadium1".
It also removes the need for a separate nix.machines file since you
can specify builders in nix.conf directly. (In fact nix.machines is
yet another hack that predates the general nix.conf configuration
file, IIRC.)
Note: this option is supported by the daemon for trusted users. The
fact that this allows trusted users to specify paths to SSH keys to
which they don't normally have access is maybe a bit too much trust...
