On FreeBSD, sysctl(KERN_PROC_PATHNAME) returns a null-terminated
string with pathLen including the terminator. This causes Nix to
fail during manual generation with:
error:

error: input string '/nix/store/gq89cj02b5zs67cbd85vzg5cgsgnd8mj-nix-2.31.2/bin/nix␀'
cannot be represented as Nix string because it contains null bytes
The issue occurs because generate-settings.nix reads the nix binary
path from JSON and evaluates it as a Nix string, which cannot contain
null bytes. Normal C++ string operations don't trigger this since they
handle null-terminated strings correctly.
Strip the null terminator on FreeBSD to match other platforms (Linux
uses /proc/self/exe, macOS uses _NSGetExecutablePath).

... via _NIX_TEST_NO_ENVIRONMENT_WARNINGS
This environment variable suppresses warnings that depend on the test
environment (such as ulimit warnings in builds on systems with lower
limits, which may well succeed if it weren't for the warning).
This prevents non-deterministic test failures in golden/characterization
tests.
Alternative considered: filtering stderr in test scripts, but that approach
is fragile with binary test output, and potentially multiple call sites.
Show the actual attempted stack size value (capped at hard limit)
separately from the desired value, making it clearer what's happening
when the hard limit is lower than requested.
* 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 is the utility changes from #9968, which were easier to rebase
first.
I (@Ericson2314) didn't write this code; I just rebased it.

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.
- move <sys/resource.h> from a __linux__ block to a !_WIN32 block: this
matches what the actual code does, using getrlimit() & setrlimit() in
!_WIN32 blocks
- drop <sys/mount.h>, which is not portable, and it is not used
At this point many features are stripped out, but this works:
- Can run libnix{util,store,expr} unit tests
- Can run some Nix commands

This splits files and adds new identifiers in preperation for supporting
windows, but no Windows-specific code is actually added yet.

The code works fine on macOS, but the default stack size we attempt to
set is larger than what my system will allow (Nix attempts to set the
stack size to 67108864, but the maximum allowed is 67092480), so I've
instead used the requested stack size or the maximum allowed, whichever
is smaller.
I've also added an error message if setting the stack size fails. It
looks like this:
> Failed to increase stack size from 8372224 to 67108864 (maximum
> allowed stack size: 67092480): Invalid argument
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`
