Add --exclude flag to nix search
If a package's attribute path, description or name contains matches for any of the
regexes specified via `-e` or `--exclude` that package is excluded from
the final output.

1ddabe1a01 nix: Respect meta.outputsToInstall, and use all outputs by default
'nix profile install' will now install all outputs listed in the
package's meta.outputsToInstall attribute, or all outputs if that
attribute doesn't exist. This makes it behave consistently with
nix-env. Fixes #6385.

Furthermore, for consistency, all other 'nix' commands do this as
well. E.g. 'nix build' will build and symlink the outputs in
meta.outputsToInstall, defaulting to all outputs. Previously, it only
built/symlinked the first output. Note that this means that selecting
a specific output using attrpath selection (e.g. 'nix build
nixpkgs#libxml2.dev') no longer works. A subsequent PR will add a way
to specify the desired outputs explicitly.

474695975d EvalCache: Revert to using symbols in getAttr() 2022-04-26 14:01:42 +02:00

a385e51a08 rename SymbolIdx -> Symbol, Symbol -> SymbolStr
after #6218 `Symbol` no longer confers a uniqueness invariant on the
string it wraps, it is now possible to create multiple symbols that
compare equal but whose string contents have different addresses. this
guarantee is now only provided by `SymbolIdx`, leaving `Symbol` only as
a string wrapper that knows about the intricacies of how symbols need to
be formatted for output.

this change renames `SymbolIdx` to `Symbol` to restore the previous
semantics of `Symbol` to that name. we also keep the wrapper type and
rename it to `SymbolStr` instead of returning plain strings from lookups
into the symbol table because symbols are formatted for output in many
places. theoretically we do not need `SymbolStr`, only a function that
formats a string for output as a symbol, but having to wrap every symbol
that appears in a message into eg `formatSymbol()` is error-prone and
inconvient.

8775be3393 store Symbols in a table as well, like positions
this slightly increases the amount of memory used for any given symbol, but this
increase is more than made up for if the symbol is referenced more than once in
the EvalState that holds it. on average every symbol should be referenced at
least twice (once to introduce a binding, once to use it), so we expect no
increase in memory on average.

symbol tables are limited to 2³² entries like position tables, and similar
arguments apply to why overflow is not likely: 2³² symbols would require as many
string instances (at 24 bytes each) and map entries (at 24 bytes or more each,
assuming that the map holds on average at most one item per bucket as the docs
say). a full symbol table would require at least 192GB of memory just for
symbols, which is well out of reach. (an ofborg eval of nixpks today creates
less than a million symbols!)

f05e1f6fbb Move hiliteMatches into a separate header
This is mostly so that we don't #include <regex> everywhere (which
adds quite a bit of compilation time).

d89840b103 Make InstallableFlake::toValue() and toDerivation() behave consistently
In particular, this means that 'nix eval` (which uses toValue()) no
longer auto-calls functions or functors (because
AttrCursor::findAlongAttrPath() doesn't).

Fixes #6152.

Also use ref<> in a few places, and don't return attrpaths from
getCursor() because cursors already have a getAttrPath() method.

e38cd5becb Always enter first level of attrset in nix search
This makes nix search always go through the first level of an
attribute set, even if it's not a top level attribute. For instance,
you can now list all GHC compilers with:

$ nix search nixpkgs#haskell.compiler
...

This is similar to how nix-env works when you pass in -A.

810b2c6a48 nix flake init: Add a '--template' flag
The initial contents of the flake is specified by the
'templates.<name>' or 'defaultTemplate' output of another flake. E.g.

  outputs = { self }: {

    templates = {

      nixos-container = {
        path = ./nixos-container;
        description = "An example of a NixOS container";
      };

    };

  };

allows

  $ nix flake init -t templates#nixos-container

Also add a command 'nix flake new', which is identical to 'nix flake
init' except that it initializes a specified directory rather than the
current directory.

search.cc: improve UX for nix search
As proposed in #1634 the `nix search` command could use some
improvements. Initially 0413aeb35d added
some basic sorting behavior using `std::map`, a next step would be an
improvement of the output.

This patch includes the following changes:

* Use `$PAGER` for outputs with `RunPager` from `shared.hh`:
  The same behavior is defined for `nix-env --query`, furthermore it
  makes searching huge results way easier.

* Simplified result blocks:
  The new output is heavily inspired by the output from `nox`, the first
  line shows the attribute path and the derivaiton name
  (`attribute path (derivation name)`) and the description in the second
  line.

b712d4674b Allow multiple search experssions in nix search
The common use case is to search for packages containing multiple words
like a "git" "frontend". Having only one expressions makes this simple regular
use case very complicated. Instead, search accepts multiple regular epressions
which all need to match.

nix search git 'gui|frontend'

returns a list of all git uis for example

This is important since this is given as an example.
Other patterns containing "empty search string" will still
be handled differently on different platforms ("asdf|")

nix search: Add a cache
The package list is now cached in
~/.cache/nix/package-search.json. This gives a substantial speedup to
"nix search" queries. For example (on an SSD):

First run: (no package search cache, cold page cache)

  $ time nix search blender
  Attribute name: nixpkgs.blender
  Package name: blender
  Version: 2.78c
  Description: 3D Creation/Animation/Publishing System

  real    0m6.516s

Second run: (package search cache populated)

  $ time nix search blender
  Attribute name: nixpkgs.blender
  Package name: blender
  Version: 2.78c
  Description: 3D Creation/Animation/Publishing System
