d439dceb3b optionally return string_view from coerceToString
we'll retain the old coerceToString interface that returns a string, but callers
that don't need the returned value to outlive the Value it came from can save
copies by using the new interface instead. for values that weren't stringy we'll
pass a new buffer argument that'll be used for storage and shouldn't be
inspected.

34e3bd10e3 avoid copies of parser input data
when given a string yacc will copy the entire input to a newly allocated
location so that it can add a second terminating NUL byte. since the
parser is a very internal thing to EvalState we can ensure that having
two terminating NUL bytes is always possible without copying, and have
the parser itself merely check that the expected NULs are present.

00c993f48b add zipAttrsWith primop
nixpkgs can save a good bit of eval memory with this primop. zipAttrsWith is
used quite a bit around nixpkgs (eg in the form of recursiveUpdate), but the
most costly application for this primop is in the module system. it improves
the implementation of zipAttrsWith from nixpkgs by not checking an attribute
multiple times if it occurs more than once in the input list, allocates less
values and set elements, and just avoids many a temporary object in general.

nixpkgs has a more generic version of this operation, zipAttrsWithNames, but
this version is only used once so isn't suitable for being the base of a new
primop. if it were to be used more we should add a second primop instead.

90d8178009
Don't move the arguments of the primOp
Moving arguments of the primOp into the registration structure makes it
impossible to initialize a second EvalState with the correct primOp
registration. It will end up registering all those "RegisterPrimOp"'s
with an arity of zero on all but the 2nd instance of the EvalState.

Not moving the memory will add a tiny bit of memory overhead during the
eval since we need a copy of all the argument lists of all the primOp's.
The overhead shouldn't be too bad as it is static (based on the amonut
of registered operations) and only occurs once during the interpreter
startup.

af99941279 Make experimental-features a proper type
Rather than having them plain strings scattered through the whole

This means that
- Nix can now `warn` when an unkwown experimental feature is passed
  (making it much nicer to spot typos and spot deprecated features)
- It’s now easy to remove a feature altogether (once the feature isn’t
  experimental anymore or is dropped) by just removing the field for the
  enum and letting the compiler point us to all the now invalid usages
  of it.

cae41eebff libexpr: remove matchAttrs boolean from ExprLambda
The boolean is only used to determine if the formals are set to a
non-null pointer in all our cases. We can get rid of that allocation and
instead just compare the pointer value with NULL. Saving up to
sizeof(bool) + platform specific alignment per ExprLambda instace.
Probably not a lot of memory but perhaps a few kilobyte with nixpkgs?

This also gets rid of a potential issue with dereferencing formals based on
the value of the boolean that didn't have to be aligned with the formals
pointer but was in all our cases.

242f9bf3dc std::visit by reference
I had started the trend of doing `std::visit` by value (because a type
error once mislead me into thinking that was the only form that
existed). While the optomizer in principle should be able to deal with
extra coppying or extra indirection once the lambdas inlined, sticking
with by reference is the conventional default. I hope this might even
improve performance.

libexpr: throw a more helpful eval-error if a builtin is not available due to a missing feature-flag
I found it somewhat confusing to have an error like

    error: attribute 'getFlake' missing

if the required experimental-feature (`flakes`) is not enabled. Instead,
I'd expect Nix to throw an error just like it's the case when using e.g. `nix
flake` without `flakes` being enabled.

With this change, the error looks like this:

    $ nix-instantiate -E 'builtins.getFlake "nixpkgs"'
    error: Cannot call 'builtins.getFlake' because experimental Nix feature 'flakes' is disabled. You can enable it via '--extra-experimental-features flakes'.

           at «string»:1:1:

                1| builtins.getFlake "nixpkgs"
                 | ^

I didn't use `settings.requireExperimentalFeature` here on purpose
because this doesn't contain a position. Also, it doesn't seem as if we
need to catch the error and check for the missing feature here since
this already happens at evaluation time.

e5596113f7 Disallow reading flake.lock
With --no-write-lock-file, it's possible that flake.lock is out of
sync with the actual inputs used by the evaluation. So doing fromJSON
(readFile ./flake.lock) will give wrong results.

Fixes #4639.

primops/storePath: add trace to pure mode error
As described in #4745 it's otherwise fairly hard to understand where
this is coming from. Say you have an expression which uses e.g.
`types.package`:

``` nix
{ outputs = { self, nixpkgs }: {
    packages.x86_64-linux.hello = let
      foo = nixpkgs.lib.evalModules {
        modules = [
          {
            options.foo.bar = with nixpkgs.lib; mkOption { type = types.package; };
          }
          {
            foo.bar = ./.;
          }
        ];
      };
    in builtins.trace foo.config.foo.bar.outPath nixpkgs.legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.hello;
    defaultPackage.x86_64-linux = self.packages.x86_64-linux.hello;
  };
}
```

Then you'll get an error trace like this:

```

libexpr: misc improvements for proper error position
When working on some more complex Nix code, there are sometimes rather
unhelpful or misleading error messages, especially if coerce-errors are
thrown.

This patch is a first steps towards improving that. I'm happy to file
more changes after that, but I'd like to gather some feedback first.

To summarize, this patch does the following things:

* Attrsets (a.k.a. `Bindings` in `libexpr`) now have a `Pos`. This is
  helpful e.g. to identify which attribute-set in `listToAttrs` is
  invalid.

* The `Value`-struct has a new method named `determinePos` which tries
  to guess the position of a value and falls back to a default if that's
  not possible.

  This can be used to provide better messages if a coercion fails.

* The new `determinePos`-API is used by `builtins.concatMap` now. With
  that change, Nix shows the exact position in the error where a wrong
  value was returned by the lambda.

  To make sure it's still obvious that `concatMap` is the problem,
  another stack-frame was added.

* The changes described above can be added to every other `primop`, but
  first I'd like to get some feedback about the overall approach.

primops/derivation: use position of currently evaluated attribute
* The position of the `name`-attribute appears in the trace.
* If e.g. `meta` has no `outPath`-attribute, a `cannot coerce set to
  string` error will be thrown where `pos` points to `name =` which is
  highly misleading.

255d145ba7 Use BuildableReq for buildPaths and ensurePath
This avoids an ambiguity where the `StorePathWithOutputs { drvPath, {}
}` could mean "build `brvPath`" or "substitute `drvPath`" depending on
context.

It also brings the internals closer in line to the new CLI, by
generalizing the `Buildable` type is used there and makes that
distinction already.

In doing so, relegate `StorePathWithOutputs` to being a type just for
backwards compatibility (CLI and RPC).

8d4268d190 Improve error formatting
Changes:

* The divider lines are gone. These were in practice a bit confusing,
  in particular with --show-trace or --keep-going, since then there
  were multiple lines, suggesting a start/end which wasn't the case.

* Instead, multi-line error messages are now indented to align with
  the prefix (e.g. "error: ").

* The 'description' field is gone since we weren't really using it.

* 'hint' is renamed to 'msg' since it really wasn't a hint.

* The error is now printed *before* the location info.

* The 'name' field is no longer printed since most of the time it
  wasn't very useful since it was just the name of the exception (like
  EvalError). Ideally in the future this would be a unique, easily
  googleable error ID (like rustc).

* "trace:" is now just "…". This assumes error contexts start with
  something like "while doing X".

bab1cda0e6 Use the hash modulo in the derivation outputs
Rather than storing the derivation outputs as `drvPath!outputName` internally,
store them as `drvHashModulo!outputName` (or `outputHash!outputName` for
fixed-output derivations).

This makes the storage slightly more opaque, but enables an earlier
cutoff in cases where a fixed-output dependency changes (but keeps the
same output hash) − same as what we already do for input-addressed
derivations.
