In particular `local://<path>` and `unix://` (without any path) now
work, and mean the same things as `local` and `daemon`, respectively. We
thus now have the opportunity to desguar `local` and `daemon` early.
This will allow me to make a change to
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9839 requested during review to
desugar those earlier.

Now that SourcePath uses a SourceAccessor instead of an InputAccessor,
we can use it in function signatures instead of passing a
SourceAccessor and CanonPath separately.
Instead, serialize as NAR and send that over, then rehash sever side.
This is alorithmically simpler, but comes at the cost of a newer
parameter to `Store::addToStoreFromDump`.

Return a value instead of throwing.
Rather than the more trivial refactor of wrapping the return value in
another std::optional, we retain the meaning of the outer optional:
"we know at least something."
So we have changed:
return nullopt -> return nullopt
throw InvalidPath -> return make_optional(nullptr)
return vpi -> return make_optional(vpi)
Instead of having it be the default method in `Store` itself, have it be
the implementation in `DummyStore` and `LegacySSHStore`. Then just the
implementations which fail to provide the method pay the "penalty" of
dealing with the icky `unimplemented` function for non-compliance.
Picks up where #8217. Getting close to no `unsupported` in the `Store`
interface itself!
More progress on issue #5729.
This is useful for determining quickly which substituters to query.
An alternative would be for users to invoke the narinfo cache db directly,
so why do we need this change?
- It is easier to use. I believe Nix itself should also use it.
- This way, the narinfo cache db remains an implementation detail.
- Callers get to use the in-memory cache as well.
Also move `SourcePath` into `libutil`.
These changes allow `error.hh` and `error.cc` to access source path and
position information, which we can use to produce better error messages
(for example, we could consider omitting filenames when two or more
consecutive stack frames originate from the same file).
I don't love the way this code looks. There are two larger problems:
- eval, build/scratch, destination stores (#5025) should have different
types to reflect the fact that they are used for different purposes
and those purposes correspond to different operations. It should be
impossible to "use the wrong store" in my cases.
- Since drvs can end up in both the eval and build/scratch store, we
should have some sort of union/layered store (not on the file sytem
level, just conceptual level) that allows accessing both. This would
get rid of the ugly "check both" boilerplate in this PR.
Still, it might be better to land this now / soon after minimal cleanup,
so we have a concrete idea of what problem better abstractions are
supposed to solve.
This makes for more useful manual table of contents, that displays the
information at a glance.
The `nix help-stores` command is kept as-is, even though it will show up
in the manual with the same information as these pages due to the way it
is written as a "`--help`-style" command. Deciding what to do with that
command is left for a later PR.
This change also lists all store types at the top of the respective overview page.

`Store::pathInfoToJSON` was a rather baroque functions, being full of
parameters to support both parsed derivations and `nix path-info`. The
common core of each, a simple `dValidPathInfo::toJSON` function, is
factored out, but the rest of the logic is just duplicated and then
specialized to its use-case (at which point it is no longer that
duplicated).
This keeps the human oriented CLI logic (which is currently unstable)
and the core domain logic (export reference graphs with structured
attrs, which is stable), separate, which I think is better.
hashBase is ambiguous, since it's not about the digital bases, but about
the format of hashes. Base16, Base32 and Base64 are all character maps
for binary encoding.
Rename the enum Base to HashFormat.
Rename variables of type HashFormat from [hash]Base to hashFormat,
including CmdHashBase::hashFormat and CmdToBase::hashFormat.
We want to be able to write down `foo.drv^bar.drv^baz`:
`foo.drv^bar.drv` is the dynamic derivation (since it is itself a
derivation output, `bar.drv` from `foo.drv`).
To that end, we create `Single{Derivation,BuiltPath}` types, that are
very similar except instead of having multiple outputs (in a set or
map), they have a single one. This is for everything to the left of the
rightmost `^`.
`NixStringContextElem` has an analogous change, and now can reuse
`SingleDerivedPath` at the top level. In fact, if we ever get rid of
`DrvDeep`, `NixStringContextElem` could be replaced with
`SingleDerivedPath` entirely!
Important note: some JSON formats have changed.
We already can *produce* dynamic derivations, but we can't refer to them
directly. Today, we can merely express building or example at the top
imperatively over time by building `foo.drv^bar.drv`, and then with a
second nix invocation doing `<result-from-first>^baz`, but this is not
declarative. The ethos of Nix of being able to write down the full plan
everything you want to do, and then execute than plan with a single
command, and for that we need the new inductive form of these types.

This makes it more useful. In general, the derivation will be in one
store, and the realisation info is in another.
This also helps us avoid duplication. See how `resolveDerivedPath` is
now simpler because it uses `queryPartialDerivationOutputMap`. In #8369
we get more flavors of derived path, and need more code to resolve them
all, and this problem only gets worse.
The fact that we need a new method to deal with the multiple dispatch is
unfortunate, but this generally relates to the fact that `Store` is a
sub-par interface, too bulky/unwieldy and conflating separate concerns.
Solving that is out of scope of this PR.
This is part of the RFC 92 work. See tracking issue #6316
Rather than doing `allowEmpty` as boolean, have separate types and use
`std::optional`. This makes it harder to forget the possibility of an
empty path.
The `build-hook` setting was categorized as a `PathSetting`, but
actually it was split into arguments. No good! Now, it is
`Setting<Strings>` which actually reflects what it means and how it is
used.
Because of the subtyping, we now also have support for
`Setting<std::optional<String>>` in general. I imagine this can be used
to clean up many more settings also.
In other words, use a plain `ContentAddress` not
`ContentAddressWithReferences` for `DerivationOutput::CAFixed`.
Supporting fixed output derivations with (fixed) references would be a
cool feature, but it is out of scope at this moment.
In https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6311#discussion_r834863823, I
realized since derivation goals' wanted outputs can "grow" due to
overlapping dependencies (See `DerivationGoal::addWantedOutputs`, called
by `Worker::makeDerivationGoalCommon`), the previous bug fix had an
unfortunate side effect of causing more pointless rebuilds.
In paticular, we have this situation:
1. Goal made from `DerivedPath::Built { foo, {a} }`.
2. Goal gives on on substituting, starts building.
3. Goal made from `DerivedPath::Built { foo, {b} }`, in fact is just
modified original goal.
4. Though the goal had gotten as far as building, so all outputs were
going to be produced, `addWantedOutputs` no longer knows that and so
the goal is flagged to be restarted.
This might sound far-fetched with input-addressed drvs, where we usually
basically have all our goals "planned out" before we start doing
anything, but with CA derivation goals and especially RFC 92, where *drv
resolution* means goals are created after some building is completed, it
is more likely to happen.
So the first thing to do was restore the clearing of `wantedOutputs` we
used to do, and then filter the outputs in `buildPathsWithResults` to
only get the ones we care about.
But fix also has its own side effect in that the `DerivedPath` in the
`BuildResult` in `DerivationGoal` cannot be trusted; it is merely the
*first* `DerivedPath` for which this goal was originally created.
To remedy this, I made `BuildResult` be like it was before, and instead
made `KeyedBuildResult` be a subclass wit the path. Only
`buildPathsWithResults` returns `KeyedBuildResult`s, everything else
just becomes like it was before, where the "key" is unambiguous from
context.
I think separating the "primary key" field(s) from the other fields is
good practical in general anyways. (I would like to do the same thing
for `ValidPathInfo`.) Among other things, it allows constructions like
`std::map<Key, ThingWithKey>` where doesn't contain duplicate keys and
just precludes the possibility of those duplicate keys being out of
sync.
We might leverage the above someday to overload `buildPathsWithResults`
to take a *set* of return a *map* per the above.
-----
Unfortunately, we need to avoid C++20 strictness on designated
initializers.
(BTW
https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2021/p2287r1.html
this offers some new syntax for this use-case. Hopefully this will be
adopted and we can eventually use it.)
No having that yet, maybe it would be better to not make
`KeyedBuildResult` a subclass to just avoid this.

More progress on issue #5729
The method trivially generalizes to be store-implementation-agnostic, in
fact.
However, we force it to continue to be unimplemented with `RemoteStore`
and `LegacySSHStore` because the implementation we'd get via the
generalization is probably not the one users expect. This keeps our
hands untied to do it right going forward.
For more about the tension between the scheduler logic being
store-type-agnostic and remote stores doing their own scheduling, see
issues #5025 and #5056.
More progress on issue #5729.
Instead of having it by the default method in `Store` itself, have it be
the implementation in `DummyStore` and `LegacySSHStore`. Then just the

Combined with my other recent PRs, this finally makes `Store` have no
`unsupported` calls!
* Finish converting existing comments for internal API docs
99% of this was just reformatting existing comments. Only two exceptions:
- Expanded upon `BuildResult::status` compat note
- Split up file-level `symbol-table.hh` doc comments to get
per-definition docs
Also fixed a few whitespace goofs, turning leading tabs to spaces and
removing trailing spaces.
Picking up from #8133
* Fix two things from comments
* Use triple-backtick not indent for `dumpPath`
* Convert GNU-style `\`..'` quotes to markdown style in API docs
This will render correctly.
This function returns true or false depending on whether the Nix client
is trusted or not. Mostly relevant when speaking to a remote store with
a daemon.
We include this information in `nix ping store` and `nix doctor`

The code is not local-store-specific, so we should share it with all
stores. More uniform behavior is better, and a less store-specific
functionality is more maintainable.
This fixes a FIXME added in f73d911628 by @edolstra himself.
