added in the previous commit.

This increases test coverage, and gets the worker protocol ready to be
used by Hydra.
Why don't we just try to use the store interface in Hydra? Well, the
problem is that the store interface works on connection pools, with each
opreation getting potentially a different connection, but the way temp
roots work requires that we keep one logical "transaction" (temp root
session) using the same connection.
The longer-term solution probably is making connections themselves
implement the store interface, but that is something that builds on
this, so I feel OK that this is not churn in the wrong direction.
Fixes#9584
Do this instead of an unchecked cast
I redid this to use the serialisation framework (including a unit test),
but I am keeping the reference to credit Jade for spotting the issue.

This way we can commit the same amount of stack size (64 MB) without a conditional.
Includes nix, libnixexpr-tests, libnixfetchers-tests, libnixstore-tests, libnixutil-tests.
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/10555 added a check requiring
that output parameters always have an uninitialized Value as argument.
Unfortunately the output parameter of the primop callback received
a thunk instead.
See the comment for implementation considerations.
This was accidentally removed in
e989c83b44. I restored it and also did a
few other cleanups:
- Make a static method for namespacing purposes
- Put the test files in the data dir with the other test data
- Avoid mutating globals in the machine config tests
This will be used by Hydra.
1. Hydra currently queries for multiple path infos at once, so let us
make a connection item for that.
2. The minimum of the two versions should always be used, see #9584.
(The issue remains open because the daemon protocol needs to be
likewise updated.)
The JSON format no longer uses the legacy ATerm `r:` prefixing nonsese,
but separate fields.
Progress on #9866

builtins.strictDerivation returns an attribute set with drvPath and
output paths. For some reason, current implementation forbids drv
instead of drvPath.
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.
After the removal of the InputAccessor::fetchToStore() method, the
only remaining functionality in InputAccessor was `fingerprint` and
`getLastModified()`, and there is no reason to keep those in a
separate class.
Add a method to check if a value has been initialized. This helps avoid
segfaults when calling `type()`.
Useful in the context of the new C API.
Closes#10524
At this point many features are stripped out, but this works:
- Can run libnix{util,store,expr} unit tests
- Can run some Nix commands

Casting a function pointer to `void*` is undefined behavior in the C
spec, since there are platforms with different sizes for these two kinds
of pointers. A safe alternative might be `void (*callback)()`
It's a little weird we don't check the return status for these, but
changing that would introduce risk so I did not.

This introduces new utility functions to get elements from JSON — in an ergonomic way and with nice error messages if the expected type does not match.

Thunks are now overwritten by a helper function
`Value::finishValue(newType, payload)` (where `payload` is the
original anonymous union inside `Value`). This helps to ensure we
never update a value elsewhere, since that would be incompatible with
parallel evaluation (i.e. after a value has transitioned from being a
thunk to being a non-thunk, it should be immutable).
There were two places where this happened: `Value::mkString()` and
`ExprAttrs::eval()`.
This PR also adds a bunch of accessor functions for value contents,
like `Value::integer()` to access the integer field in the union.
Previously, `state.mkList()` would set the type of the value to tList
and allocate the list vector, but it would not initialize the values
in the list. This has two problems:
* If an exception occurs, the list is left in an undefined state.
* More importantly, for multithreaded evaluation, if a value
transitions from thunk to non-thunk, it should be final (i.e. other
threads should be able to access the value safely).
To address this, there now is a `ListBuilder` class (analogous to
`BindingsBuilder`) to build the list vector prior to the call to
`Value::mkList()`. Typical usage:
auto list = state.buildList(size);
for (auto & v : list)
v = ... set value ...;
vRes.mkList(list);
we now keep not a table of all positions, but a table of all origins and
their sizes. position indices are now direct pointers into the virtual
concatenation of all parsed contents. this slightly reduces memory usage
and time spent in the parser, at the cost of not being able to report
positions if the total input size exceeds 4GiB. this limit is not unique
to nix though, rustc and clang also limit their input to 4GiB (although
at least clang refuses to process inputs that are larger, we will not).
this new 4GiB limit probably will not cause any problems for quite a
while, all of nixpkgs together is less than 100MiB in size and already
needs over 700MiB of memory and multiple seconds just to parse. 4GiB
worth of input will easily take multiple minutes and over 30GiB of
memory without even evaluating anything. if problems *do* arise we can
probably recover the old table-based system by adding some tracking to
Pos::Origin (or increasing the size of PosIdx outright), but for time
being this looks like more complexity than it's worth.
since we now need to read the entire input again to determine the
line/column of a position we'll make unsafeGetAttrPos slightly lazy:
mostly the set it returns is only used to determine the file of origin
of an attribute, not its exact location. the thunks do not add
measurable runtime overhead.
notably this change is necessary to allow changing the parser since
apparently nothing supports nix's very idiosyncratic line ending choice
of "anything goes", making it very hard to calculate line/column
positions in the parser (while byte offsets are very easy).
When reviewing old PRs, I found that #9997 adds some code to ensure one
particular assert is always present. But, removing asserts isn't
something we do in our own release builds either in the flake here or in
nixpkgs, and is plainly a bad idea that increases support burden,
especially if other distros make bad choices of build flags in their Nix
packaging.
For context, the assert macro in the C standard is defined to do nothing
if NDEBUG is set.
There is no way in our build system to set -DNDEBUG without manually
adding it to CFLAGS, so this is simply a configuration we do not use.
Let's ban it at compile time.
I put this preprocessor directive in src/libutil.cc because it is not
obvious where else to put it, and it seems like the most logical file
since you are not getting a usable nix without it.
