This reverts commit bdbc739d6e.
Such a change needs more thought put into it. By versioning
shared libraries we'd make a false impression that libraries
themselves are actually versioned and have some sort of stable
ABI, which is not the case.
This will be useful when C bindings become stable, but as long
as they are experimental it does not make sense to set SONAME.
Also this change should not have been backported, since it's
severely breaking.
(cherry picked from commit 0db2b8c8fe)
This is the utility changes from #9968, which were easier to rebase
first.
I (@Ericson2314) didn't write this code; I just rebased it.

Rather than "mounting" the store inside an empty virtual filesystem,
just return the store as a virtual filesystem. This is more modular.
(FWIW, it also supports two long term hopes of mind:
1. More capability-based Nix language mode. I dream of a "super pure
eval" where you can only use relative path literals (See #8738), and
any `fetchTree`-fetched stuff + the store are all disjoint (none is
mounted in another) file systems.
2. Windows, where the store dir may include drive letters, etc., and is
thus unsuitable to be the prefix of any `CanonPath`s.

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.
- Some headers were completely redundant and have been removed.
- Other headers have been turned private.
- Unnecessary meson.build code has been removed.
- libutil-tests now has a private config header, where previously
it had none. This removes the need to expose a package version
macro publicly.
All of this code doesn't actually depend on anything from
libexpr. Because Pos is so tigtly coupled with Error, it
makes sense to have in the same library.
This uses the single-threaded C-based routines from libblake3.
This is not optimal performance-wise but should be a good starting point
for nix compatibility with BLAKE3 hashing until a more performant
implementation based on the multi-threaded BLAKE3 routines
(written in Rust) can be developed.
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).
OpenBSD doesn't support `lutimes`, but does support `utimensat` which
subsumes it. In fact, all the BSDs, Linux, and newer macOS all support
it. So lets make this our first choice for the implementation.
In addition, let's get rid of the `lutimes` `ENOSYS` special case. The
Linux manpage says
> ENOSYS
>
> The kernel does not support this call; Linux 2.6.22 or later is
> required.
which I think is the origin of this check, but that's a very old version
of Linux at this point. The code can be simplified a lot of we drop
support for it here (as we've done elsewhere, anyways).

Meson-ify a few things, scripts, completions, etc. Should make our Meson
build complete except for docs.

This ended up motivating a good deal of other infra improvements in
order to get Windows right:
- `OsString` to complement `std::filesystem::path`
- env var code for working with the underlying `OsString`s
- Rename `PATHNG_LITERAL` to `OS_STR`
- `NativePathTrait` renamed to `OsPathTrait`, given a character template
parameter until #9205 is complete.
Split `tests.cc` matching split of `util.{cc,hh}` last year.

Splitting it out immediately answers questions like [this],
without increasing the number of compilation units.
I did consider using boost::hash_combine instead, but it doesn't seem
to be quite as capable, accepting only two arguments.

I hope this will make it easier to maintain, and also make it easier for
others to assist with porting the rest of the build system to Meson.

The idea is two-fold:
- Replace autotools with Meson
- Build each library in its own derivation
The interaction of these two features is that Meson's "subprojects"
feature (https://mesonbuild.com/Subprojects) allows us to have single
dev shell for building all libraries still, while also building things
separately. This allows us to break up the build without a huge
productivity lost.
I tested the Linux native build, and NetBSD and Windows cross builds.
Also do some clean ups of the Flake in the process of supporting new
jobs.
Special thanks to everyone that has worked on a Meson port so far,
@p01arst0rm and @Qyriad in particular.
