Before the change `nix` was stripping warning flags
reported by `gcc-14` too eagerly:
$ nix build -f. texinfo4
error: builder for '/nix/store/i9948l91s3df44ip5jlpp6imbrcs646x-texinfo-4.13a.drv' failed with exit code 2;
last 25 log lines:
> 1495 | info_tag (mbi_iterator_t iter, int handle, size_t *plen)
> | ~~~~~~~~^~~~
> window.c:1887:39: error: passing argument 4 of 'printed_representation' from incompatible pointer type []
> 1887 | &replen);
> | ^~~~~~~
> | |
> | int *
After the change the compiler flag remains:
$ ~/patched.nix build -f. texinfo4
error: builder for '/nix/store/i9948l91s3df44ip5jlpp6imbrcs646x-texinfo-4.13a.drv' failed with exit code 2;
last 25 log lines:
> 1495 | info_tag (mbi_iterator_t iter, int handle, size_t *plen)
> | ~~~~~~~~^~~~
> window.c:1887:39: error: passing argument 4 of 'printed_representation' from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
> 1887 | &replen);
> | ^~~~~~~
> | |
> | int *
Note the difference in flag rendering around the warning.
https://gist.github.com/egmontkob/eb114294efbcd5adb1944c9f3cb5feda has a
good sumamry of why it happens. Befomre the change `nix` was handling
just one form or URL separator:
$ printf '\e]8;;http://example.com\e\\This is a link\e]8;;\e\\\n'
Now it also handled another for (used by gcc-14`):
printf '\e]8;;http://example.com\aThis is a link\e]8;;\a\n'
While at it fixed accumulation of trailing escape `\e\\` symbol.

For example, instead of doing
#include "nix/store-config.hh"
#include "nix/derived-path.hh"
Now do
#include "nix/store/config.hh"
#include "nix/store/derived-path.hh"
This was originally planned in the issue, and also recent requested by
Eelco.
Most of the change is purely mechanical. There is just one small
additional issue. See how, in the example above, we took this
opportunity to also turn `<comp>-config.hh` into `<comp>/config.hh`.
Well, there was already a `nix/util/config.{cc,hh}`. Even though there
is not a public configuration header for libutil (which also would be
called `nix/util/config.{cc,hh}`) that's still confusing, To avoid any
such confusion, we renamed that to `nix/util/configuration.{cc,hh}`.
Finally, note that the libflake headers already did this, so we didn't
need to do anything to them. We wouldn't want to mistakenly get
`nix/flake/flake/flake.hh`!
Progress on #7876
(cherry picked from commit cc24766fa6)
The short answer for why we need to do this is so we can consistently do
`#include "nix/..."`. Without this change, there are ways to still make
that work, but they are hacky, and they have downsides such as making it
harder to make sure headers from the wrong Nix library (e..g.
`libnixexpr` headers in `libnixutil`) aren't being used.
The C API alraedy used `nix_api_*`, so its headers are *not* put in
subdirectories accordingly.
Progress on #7876
We resisted doing this for a while because it would be annoying to not
have the header source file pairs close by / easy to change file
path/name from one to the other. But I am ameliorating that with
symlinks in the next commit.

Looks like some cruft has been left over from previous refactorings.
This removes dead variables, which should not have side effects in their
constructors. In cases where the variable initialization has a purpose
[[maybe_unused]] is inserted to silence compiler warnings.
At this point many features are stripped out, but this works:
- Can run libnix{util,store,expr} unit tests
- Can run some Nix commands

All OS and IO operations should be moved out, leaving only some misc
portable pure functions.
This is useful to avoid copious CPP when doing things like Windows and
Emscripten ports.
Newly exposed functions to break cycles:
- `restoreSignals`
- `updateWindowSize`
