libstdc++'s std::stable_sort and new builtins.sort implementation
special-case ranges with length less than or equal to 16 and delegate
to insertionsort.
Having a larger e2e test would allow catching sort stability issues
at functional level as well.
This prevents C++ level undefined behavior from affecting
the evaluator. Stdlib implementation details should not affect
eval, regardless of the build platform. Even erroneous usage
of `builtins.sort` should not make it possible to crash the
evaluator or produce results that depend on the host platform.
Unlike std::sort and std::stable_sort, this implementation
does not lead to out-of-bounds memory reads or other undefined
behavior when the predicate is not strict weak ordering.
This makes it possible to use this function in libexpr for
builtins.sort, where an incorrectly implemented comparator
in the user nix code currently can crash and burn the evaluator
by invoking C++ UB.
This overload isn't actually necessary anywhere and
doesn't make much sense. The pointers to `Value`s are
themselves const, but the `Value`s are mutable.
A non-const member function implies that the object itself
can be modified but this doesn't make much sense considering
the return type: `Value * const * `, which is a pointer
to a constant array of pointers to mutable values.
This adds a meson.format file that mostly mirrors the projects
meson style and a pre-commit hook to enforce this style.
Some low-diff files are formatted.
Seen in 4390954027:
nix-functional-tests> grep: repl_output: No such file or directory
nix-functional-tests> +(repl.sh:174) cat repl_output
This is because there is a small possibility that the `nix repl` child
process hasn't created `repl_output` yet. So make sure it exists.
Invoking `:ll` will start a pager with all variables which have just
been loaded by `:lf`, `:l`, or by a flake provided to `nix repl` as an
argument.

When we run `nix repl nixpkgs` we get "Added 6 variables". This is not
useful as it doesn't tell us which variables the flake has exported to
our global repl scope.
This patch prints the name of each variable that was just loaded. We
currently cap printing to 20 variables in order to avoid excessive
prints.
