For frameworks it's important that structures are as lazy as possible
to prevent infinite recursions, performance issues and errors that
aren't related to the thing to evaluate. As a consequence, they have
to emit more attributes than strictly (sic) necessary.
However, these attributes with empty values are not useful to the user
so we omit them.
The references set seems to have been unused since `LegacySSHStore`
references were first created in
caa5793b4a.
The method decls never were upstream, and accidentally added by me in
062533f7cd (probably due to `git rerere`).
Sorry!
This reduces the diff from #3746.
No other getDefaultFlakeAttrPaths implementation has this trailing dot,
and the dot can show up in error messages like:
error: flake '...' does not provide attribute 'packages.x86_64-linux.', ...
- Clarify doc comments, Installables::getCursors returns non-empty
vector
- Use vector::at in Installable::getCursor instead of checking for empty
vector and throwing an exception with error message.
Handle the case where none of getActualAttrPaths() actually exists,
in which case instead of returning an empty vector.
This fixes the case where the user misspells the attribute name in nix
search. Instead of getting no search results, now it shows an error with
suggestions.
Also remove InstallableFlake::getCursor() override since it's now
equivalent to the base class version.
Avoid needless work and throwing away invariants.
These conversions date back to when `StorePath` was in Rust and there
were issues with it missing utility methods.
Previously, getDefaultNixPath was called too early: at initialisation
time, before CLI and config have been processed, when `restrictEval` and
`pureEval` both have their default value `false`. Call it when
initialising the EvalState instead, and use `setDefault`.
clangStdenv compiles with a single warning:
```
warning: destructor called on non-final 'nix::PosAdapter' that has virtual functions but non-virtual destructor [-Wdelete-non-abstract-non-virtual-dtor]
```
This fixes the warning by making the destructor of PosAdapter virtual,
deffering to the correct destructor from the concrete child classes.
This has no impact in the end, as none of these classes have specific
destructors.
Technicaly, it may be faster not to have this indirection, but as per
the warning, there is only one place where we have to delete abstract
PosAdapter values.
Not worth bikesheding I guess.
Allows checking directory entry type of a single file/directory.
This was added to optimize the use of `builtins.readDir` on some
filesystems and operating systems which cannot detect this information
using POSIX's `readdir`.
Previously `builtins.readDir` would eagerly use system calls to lookup
these filetypes using other interfaces; this change makes these
operations lazy in the attribute values for each file with application
of `builtins.readFileType`.
We had some local variables left over from the older (more
complicated) implementation of this function. They should all be unused,
but one wasn't by mistake.
Delete them all, and replace the one that was still in use as intended.
