For regular, non-executable files, there is no str("") between str("regular")
and str("contents"). Note that str("") is exactly 8 zero bytes, while just ""
is actual empty string (0 bytes).
libfetchers uses `git_mempack_write_thin_pack` which was introduced in libgit2-1.9.0
This avoids error like:
../src/libfetchers/git-utils.cc: In member function ‘virtual void nix::GitRepoImpl::flush()’:
../src/libfetchers/git-utils.cc:270:13: error: ‘git_mempack_write_thin_pack’ was not declared in this scope
270 | git_mempack_write_thin_pack(mempack_backend, packBuilder.get())
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
on older libgit2 (like 1.7.2 in Centos Stream 10)
If the reference for git+file is an annotated tag, the revision will
differ than when it's fetched using other fetchers such as `github:`
since Github seems to automatiacally peel to the underlying commit.
Turns out that rev-parse has the capability through it's syntax to
request the underlying commit by "peeling" using the `^{commit}` syntax.
This is safe to apply in all scenarios where the goal is to get an
underlying commit.

I've missed this while reviewing 6db6190002.
I only built big endian ppc64, so that didn't occur to me.
From meson manual:
> Those porting from autotools should note that Meson does not add
> endianness to the name of the cpu_family. For example, autotools will
> call little endian PPC64 "ppc64le", Meson will not, you must also check
> the .endian() value of the machine for this information.
This code should handle that correctly.
builtins.fetchGit is not using the cached Git directory if
packed-references are used.
This is because the ref file for the fetchGit `refs/heads/master` is
used to check the mtime for whether to cache or not.
Let's at least codify this failure in a test case.
This is a follow-up to 6ec50ba736, which
also almost halves the compile times on clang for subprojects that use PCH.
`-fpch-instantiate-templates` is a clang-only option to force the instantiation
of templates once in the PCH itself, not all of the translation units that
it gets included to. This really cuts down on the overhead from nlohmann::json
and std::format code:
48244 ms: nlohmann::basic_json<>::parse<const char *> (76 times, avg 634 ms)
36193 ms: nlohmann::basic_json<>::basic_json (310 times, avg 116 ms)
28307 ms: nlohmann::detail::parser<nlohmann::basic_json<>, nlohmann::detail::i... (76 times, avg 372 ms)
20334 ms: nlohmann::detail::parser<nlohmann::basic_json<>, nlohmann::detail::i... (76 times, avg 267 ms)

We are doing basically the same, but unconditionally. It would be
a huge pain to add a pch option for all subprojects to just support the
usecase of using clangd in a gcc devshell.
In total, this basically halves the frontend times for nix-util and nix-store
to the point that the most expensive part of the build is linking.
(nix-store before):
```
**** Time summary:
Compilation (77 times):
Parsing (frontend): 243.4 s
Codegen & opts (backend): 140.3 s
```
(nix-store after):
```
**** Time summary:
Compilation (77 times):
Parsing (frontend): 120.2 s
Codegen & opts (backend): 141.2 s
```
This adds a GHA jobs to help analyze build times
and its regressions. It is based on `clangStdenv` with `-ftime-trace`
together with `ClangBuildAnalyzer` to prepare markdown summary for
individual components.
This also has the minor benefit of dogfooding CA and impure derivations.
Users can access these through the `lib.makeComponents` return value,
so it's helpful to briefly explain some of them.
This doesn't replace `meta.description`, but supplements it.
(TODO: improve `meta.description`)
This was carefully refactored by inlining some Nixpkgs definitions
like `generateSplicesForMkScope`, so the memoization properties
should remain the same.
Boost.URL is a significantly more RFC-compliant parser
than what libutil currently has a bundle of incomprehensible
regexes.
One aspect of this change is that RFC4007 ZoneId IPv6 literals
are represented in URIs according to RFC6874 [1].
Previously they were represented naively like so: [fe80::818c:da4d:8975:415c\%enp0s25].
This is not entirely correct, because the percent itself has to be pct-encoded:
> "%" is always treated as
an escape character in a URI, so, according to the established URI
syntax [RFC3986] any occurrences of literal "%" symbols in a URI MUST
be percent-encoded and represented in the form "%25". Thus, the
scoped address fe80::a%en1 would appear in a URI as
http://[fe80::a%25en1].

The myriad of hand-rolled URL parsing and validation code
is a constant source of problems. Regexes are not a great way
of writing parsers and there's a history of getting them wrong.
Boost.URL is a good library we can outsource most of the heavy
lifting to.
* 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.
