Turns out there's a much better API for this that doesn't have the
footguns of the previous method.
isLegalRefName is somewhat of a misnomer, since it's mainly used to
validate user inputs that can be either references, branch names,
psedorefs or tags.
Instead of specifying env variables all the time
we can instead embed the __asan_default_options symbol
in all executables / shared objects. This reduces code
duplication.
Fewer macros is better!
Introduce a new `JsonChacterizationTest` mixin class to help with this.
Also, avoid some needless copies with `GetParam`.
Part of my effort shoring up the JSON formats with #13570.
Enables builds with ASAN to catch memory corruption
bugs faster and in CI. This is an incredibly valuable
instrument that must be used as much as possible.
Somewhat based on jade's work from Lix, though there's a lot that
we have to do differently:

Add `read-only` setting to `dummy://` store for back compat.
Test by changing an existing test to use this instead, fixing a TODO.

This is needed to rearrange include order, but I also think it is a good
thing anyways, as we seek to reduce the use of global settings variables
over time.
Compilers in nixpkgs have caught up and major distros
should also have recent enough compilers. It would be
nice to have newer features like more full featured
ranges and deducing this.
Period '.' is a special branch name in the gitsubmodule file which
represents the branch of the parent repository [1].
We add support for this by registering the ref of the InputAccessor to
be that of the parent input if '.' is encountered.
Fixes#13215
[1]: man gitmodules
Fixes usage of `#` symbol in the reference name.
This also seems to identify several deficiencies in the libgit2 refname
validation code wrt to DEL symbol and a singular `@` symbol [1].

* 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.
Since we dropped fs::symlink_exists, we no longer have a need for the fs
namespace. Having less abstractions makes it easier to lookup the
functions in reference documentations.
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.
Seems like this got dropped at some point during meson migration, so
put it back in the build system.
Drop all tests for `parseGitUrl`, since that function doesn't exist
and migrating doesn't look sensible because git-lfs stuff seems to use
`ParsedURL`.
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).
