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
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.
It's not very clear what the ownership model is here, but one thing
is certain: `.up` can't be destroyed before the StaticEnv that refers
to it is.
Changing a non-owning pointer to taking shared ownership of the parent
`StaticEnv` prevents the `.up` from being freed.
I'm not a huge fan of the inverted ownership, where child `StaticEnv`
takes a refcount of the parent, but this seems like the least intrusive
way to fix the use-after-free.
This shouldn't cause any shared_ptr cycles to appear (hopefully).
This is a big step documenting the store layer on its own, separately from the evaluator (and `builtins.derivation`).

The primitive `readFileType p` has a list of acceptable types, and so does `readDir path`
This edit makes the formatting of the list consistent between themselves, and other parts of the documentation.
This gets rid of unnecessary copies in range-based-for loops and
local variables, when they are used solely as `const &`.
Also added a fixme comment about a suspicious move out of const,
which might not be intended.
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.
In these trivial cases the final vector size (or lower bound on the size) is known,
so we can avoid some vector reallocations. This is not very important, but is just
good practice and general hygiene.
