In d60c3f7f7c, this was changed to close a
hole in the sandbox. Unfortunately, this was too restrictive such that it
made local port binding fail, thus making derivations that needed
`__darwinAllowLocalNetworking` gain nearly nothing, and thus largely
fail (as the primary use for it is to enable port binding).
This unfortunately does mean that a sandboxed build process can, in
coordination with an actor outside the sandbox, escape the sandbox by
binding a port and connecting to it externally to send data. I do not
see a way around this with my experimentation and understanding of the
(quite undocumented) macOS sandbox profile API. Notably it seems not
possible to use the sandbox to do any of:
- Restrict the remote IP of inbound network requests
- Restrict the address being bound to
As such, the `(local ip "*:*")` here appears to be functionally no
different than `(local ip "localhost:*")` (however it *should* be
different than removing the filter entirely, as that would make it also
apply to non-IP networking). Doing `(allow network-inbound (require-all
(local ip "localhost:*") (remote ip "localhost:*")))` causes listening
to fail.
Note that `network-inbound` implies `network-bind`.
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.

The test split matches PR #8920, so the utility files and tests files
are once again to 1-1. The string changes continues what was started in
PR #11093.
In the FFI world we have many tools that are not gcc/clang and therefore
not always support the latest C standard. This fixes support with cffi

It was failing with:
error: AWS error fetching 'nix-cache-info': The specified bucket does not exist
because `S3BinaryCacheStoreImpl` had a `bucketName` field that
shadowed the inherited `bucketName from `S3BinaryCacheStoreConfig`.
We didn't even realize you *could* use this syntax with -E and -f, much
less that the attribute path could be *empty*.

* docs: unify documentation on search paths
- put all the information on search path semantics into `builtins.findFile`
- put all the information on determining the value of `builtins.nixPath` into the
`nix-path` setting
maybe `builtins.nixPath` is a better place for this, but those bits
can still be moved around now that it's all next to each other.
- link to the syntax page for lookup paths from all places that are
concerned with it
- add or clarify examples
- add a test verifying a claim from documentation
This also bans various sneaking of negative numbers from the language
into unsuspecting builtins as was exposed while auditing the
consequences of changing the Nix language integer type to a newtype.
It's unlikely that this change comprehensively ensures correctness when
passing integers out of the Nix language and we should probably add a
checked-narrowing function or something similar, but that's out of scope
for the immediate change.
During the development of this I found a few fun facts about the
language:
- You could overflow integers by converting from unsigned JSON values.
- You could overflow unsigned integers by converting negative numbers
into them when going into Nix config, into fetchTree, and into flake
inputs.
The flake inputs and Nix config cannot actually be tested properly
since they both ban thunks, however, we put in checks anyway because
it's possible these could somehow be used to do such shenanigans some
other way.
Note that Lix has banned Nix language integer overflows since the very
first public beta, but threw a SIGILL about them because we run with
-fsanitize=signed-overflow -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error in
production builds. Since the Nix language uses signed integers, overflow
was simply undefined behaviour, and since we defined that to trap, it
did.
Trapping on it was a bad UX, but we didn't even entirely notice
that we had done this at all until it was reported as a bug a couple of
months later (which is, to be fair, that flag working as intended), and
it's got enough production time that, aside from code that is IMHO buggy
(and which is, in any case, not in nixpkgs) such as
https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/445, we don't think
anyone doing anything reasonable actually depends on wrapping overflow.
Even for weird use cases such as doing funny bit crimes, it doesn't make
sense IMO to have wrapping behaviour, since two's complement arithmetic
overflow behaviour is so *aggressively* not what you want for *any* kind
of mathematics/algorithms. The Nix language exists for package
management, a domain where bit crimes are already only dubiously in
scope to begin with, and it makes a lot more sense for that domain for
the integers to never lose precision, either by throwing errors if they
would, or by being arbitrary-precision.

The actual motive here is the avoidance of integer overflow if we were
to make these use checked NixInts and retain the subtraction.
However, the actual *intent* of this code is a three-way comparison,
which can be done with operator<=>, so we should just do *that* instead.

This change updates the seccomp profile to return ENOTSUP for getxattr
functions family. This reflects the behavior of filesystems that don’t
support extended attributes (or have an option to disable them), e.g.
ext2.
The current behavior is confusing for some programs because we can read
extended attributes, but only get to know that they are not supported
when setting them. In addition to that, ACLs on Linux are implemented
via extended attributes internally and if we don’t return ENOTSUP, acl
library converts file mode to ACL.

The internal "completionCallback" and "listPossibleCallback" helpers
are used only when building with editline; hence, do not build then
when using readline, matching their usage in
"ReadlineLikeInteracter::init()".
By syncing with Nixpkgs, we reuse the same derivation, which is
generally a good idea, and has the benefit that it is transitively
a channel blocker.

This was done originally because std::smatch does not accept `const char
*` as iterators. However, this was because we should have been using
std::cmatch instead.
(cherry picked from commit 12a5838d11)
Found by looking for interesting asan reports from the test suite.
What happened here is that name got overwritten, but it was what
actually held the backing memory for the thing it got overwritten by,
which was a by-reference value coming out of std::regex.
Due to absurd reasons I cannot seem to use a string_view iterator here,
so I just copy the string with a longer lifetime instead. idk lol

* manual: Contributing -> Development, Hacking -> Building
what's currently called "hacking" are really instructions for setting up
a development environment and compiling from source. we have
a contribution guide in the repo (which rightly focuses on GitHub
workflows), and the material in the manual is more about working
on the code itself.
since we'd otherwise have three headings that amount to "Building Nix",
this change also moves the "classic Nix" instructions to the top.
we may want to reorganise this in the future, and bring
contributor-oriented information closer to the code, but for now let's
stick to more accurate names to ease navigation.

We are piping curl downloads into `unpackTarfileToSink()`, but the
latter is typically slower than the former if you're on a fast
connection. So the download could appear unnecessarily slow. (There is
even a risk that if the Git import is *really* slow for whatever
reason, the TCP connection could time out.)
So let's make the download buffer bigger by default - 64 MiB is big
enough for the Nixpkgs tarball. Perhaps in the future, we could have
an unlimited buffer that spills data to disk beyond a certain
threshold, but that's probably overkill.
Currently, the worker protocol has a version number that we increment
whenever we change something in the protocol. However, this can cause
a collision between Nix PRs / forks that make protocol changes
(e.g. PR #9857 increments the version, which could collide with
another PR). So instead, the client and daemon now exchange a set of
protocol features (such as `auth-forwarding`). They will use the
intersection of the sets of features, i.e. the features they both
support.
Note that protocol features are completely distinct from
`ExperimentalFeature`s.
This is in accordance with ARM's naming convention.
"Low" is confusing, because it could refer to either the cold end
of the stack as an abstract data type, or a low address.
These are different places, because the stack grows down through
the address space.
... as well as match buildReadlineNoMarkdown.
Unfortunately it doesn't support long inputs or multiline inputs
for now.
This needs to make better use of the interacter interface.

In _very_ rare cases (I had about 7 cases out of 32200 files!),
the order of how inherit-from bindings are printed when using
`nix-instantiate --parse` gets messed up.
The cause of this seems to be because the std::map the bindings are
placed in is keyed on a _pointer_, which then uses an
[implementation-defined strict total order](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/operator_comparison#Pointer_total_order).
The fix here is to key the bindings on their displacement instead,
which maintains the same order as they appear in the file.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to make a reproducible test for this in the
source, there's something about the local environment that makes it
unreproducible for me.
However I was able to make a reproducible test in a Nix build on a Nix
version from a very recent master:

Following what is outlined in #10766 refactor the uds-remote-store such
that the member variables (state) don't live in the store itself but in
the config object.
Additionally, the config object includes a new necessary constructor
that takes a scheme & authority.
Tests are commented out because of linking errors with the current config system.
When there is a new config system we can reenable them.

This generally gives a better experience with bindings generators,
possibly other tooling.
A possible risk is that some generators may not represent unknown
codes correctly.
Rust bindgen by default generates suitable code:
* a type alias nix_err = c_int
* individual constants for the known enum values
It does _not_ generate a closed type that can only hold the values
that were known at code generation time.
If this proves to be a problem, we could instead split the type:
`typedef int nix_err;` for return values
`enum nix_known_err` for code generation.
This would complicate the interface, so let's not do it unless it
is shown to be needed.
This was accidentally introduced
in f71b4da0b3. We didn't notice this
because the version got interpreted by the daemon as the obsolete "CPU
affinity will follow" field, and being non-zero, it would then read
another integer for the ignored CPU affinity.
The default value for the setting was evaluated by
calling a method on the object _being currently constructed_,
so we were using it before all fields were initialized.
This has been fixed by making the called method static,
and not using the previously used fields at all.
But functionality hasn't changed!
The fields were usually always zero (by chance?) anyway,
meaning the conditional path was always taken.
Thus the current logic has been kept, the code simplified,
and UB removed.
This was found with the helper of UBSan.
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.

Progress towards #10766
I thought that #10768 achieved, but when I went to use this stuff (in
Hydra), turns out it did not. (Those `using FooConfig;` lines were not
working --- they are so finicky!) This PR gets the job done, and adds
some trivial unit tests to make sure I did what I intended.
I had to add add a header to expose `SSHStoreConfig`, after which the
preexisting `ssh-store-config.*` were very confusingly named files, so I
renamed them to `common-ssh-store-config.hh` to match the type defined
therein.
They are not actually part of the store layer, but instead part of the
Nix executable infra (libraries don't need plugins, executables do).
This is part of a larger project of moving all of our legacy settings
infra to libmain, and having the underlying libraries just have plain
configuration structs detached from any settings infra / UI layer.
Progress on #5638
