This refactors `nix develop` internals a bit to use the `json` type
more. The assertion now operates in the in-memory json instead of
re-parsing it. While this is technically a weaker guarantee, we
should be able to rely on the library to get this right. It's its
most essential purpose.
The underlying issue is that debugger code path was
calling PosTable::operator[] in each eval method.
This has become incredibly expensive since 5d9fdab3de.
While we are it it, I've reworked the code to
not use std::shared_ptr where it really isn't necessary.
As I've documented in previous commits, this is actually
more a workaround for recursive header dependencies now
and is only necessary in `error.hh` code.
Some ad-hoc benchmarking:
After this commit:
```
Benchmark 1: nix eval nixpkgs#hello --impure --ignore-try --no-eval-cache --debugger
Time (mean ± σ): 784.2 ms ± 7.1 ms [User: 561.4 ms, System: 147.7 ms]
Range (min … max): 773.5 ms … 792.6 ms 10 runs
```
On master 3604c7c51:
```
Benchmark 1: nix eval nixpkgs#hello --impure --ignore-try --no-eval-cache --debugger
Time (mean ± σ): 22.914 s ± 0.178 s [User: 18.524 s, System: 4.151 s]
Range (min … max): 22.738 s … 23.290 s 10 runs
```
All of this code doesn't actually depend on anything from
libexpr. Because Pos is so tigtly coupled with Error, it
makes sense to have in the same library.
The simplification here is due to a long-standing bug, but it is not
worth fixing the bug at this time. Instead we've finally written up an
issue for the bug, and referenced the issue number in the code.
In the local building case, there is many things which can through
`BuildError`, but in the hook case there is just this one. We can
therefore simplify the code by "cinching" down the logic just to the
spot the error is thrown.
There is other code outside `libstore/build` which also uses
`BuildError`, but I believe those cases are mistakes. The point of
`BuildError` is the narrow technical use-cases of "errors which should
not be fatal with `--keep-going`". Using it outside the
building/scheduling code doesn't really make sense in that regard. It
seems likely that those usages were instead merely because "oh, this
error has something to do with building, so I guess `BuildError` is
better than `Error`".
It is quite likely that I myself used `BuildError` incorrectly as
described above :).
The variables are only set by CGroup mechanisms in `killSandbox` in the
local build. In the build hook case, these variables will not be set, so
there is nothing to do.
We can move this method from `LocalStore` to `Store` --- even if we only
want the actual builder to sign things in many cases, there is no reason
to try to enforce this policy by spurious moving the method to a
subclass.
Now, we might technically sign class, but CA derivations is
experimental, and @Ericson2314 is going to revisit all this stuff with
issue #11896 anyways.
- `chrootParentDir` can be a local variable instead of a class variable.
- `getChildStatus` can be inlined. Again, we have the `assert(!hook);`
in the local building case, which makes for a simpler thing inlined.
Thanks to the previous commit, we can inline all these small callbacks.
In the build-hook case, they were empty, and now they disappear
entirely.
While `LocalDerivationGoal` can be used in the hook case (we use it
based on whether we have a local store, not based on whether we are
using the build hook, a decision which comes later), the previous
commit's inline moved the code into a spot where we know we are cleaning
up after local building, *not* after running the build hook. This allows
for much more simplification.
The basic idea is that while we have duplicated this function, we now
have one call-site in the local build case, and one call site in the
build hook case. This unlocks big opportunities to specialize each copy,
since they really shouldn't be doing the same things. By the time we are
are done, there should not be much duplication left.
See #12628 for further info.
This is supposed to firstly improve the docs as they are, and secondly
hint at how the core conceptual information ought to be moved to the
store derivation section of the manual.

This variable was once used to communicate already acquired store path
locks between Nix and the build hook, but this hasn't been the case
since 9bcb4d2dd9. So let's get rid of
it.
It was first introduced in 19e0ce2c03
In Nix we only register the crash handler in main instead of initNix,
because library user may want to use their own crash handler.

1. Fix confusing wording that might imply unnecessary double-hashing.
2. Add references to specifics of base-32 encoding.
3. Fix incorrect description that sha256 hash of `fingerprint` is
truncated. "Truncated" is actual wording used in Nix theses, but it has
unusual meaning, that is better conveyed by word "compressed", which is
used by the reference C++ implementation.
4. Clarify details of base16 encoding.
Doing this makes catching non-obvious bugs easier. GHA CI workload is
already a concern and there isn't much benefit in running the tests with
and without sanitizers at the same time, so UBSAN is enabled for default
checks.
This change doesn't affect production builds in any way, but is rather a
step in the direction of improving automated testing during development.
Relates to #10969.
This fixes a few of the property tests, now that the property tests
are actually generating arbitrary data - some of that data now
requiring experimental features to function properly.
Here we're switching to combinators instead of dereference operator.
It turns out the dereference operator was being executed upon test
setup, meaning that we were only using a only single value for each of
the executions of the property tests! Really not good.
And on Windows, we instead get:
operator* is not allowed in this context
ff6af6fc68/src/gen/detail/GenerationHandler.cpp (L16C31-L16C71)
Now a few of the property tests fail, because we're generating cases
which haven't been exercised before.
