Naming class member variables the same as constructor arguments is a very
slippery slope because of how member variable names get resolved. Compiler
is not very helpful here and we need static analysis to forbid this kind of
stuff.
The following example illustrates the cause quite well:
```cpp
struct B {
B(int) {}
};
struct A {
A(int b): b([&](){
return b;
static_assert(std::is_same_v<decltype(b), int>);
}()) {
static_assert(std::is_same_v<decltype(b), int>);
}
void member() {
static_assert(std::is_same_v<decltype(b), B>);
}
B b;
};
int main() {
A(1).member();
}
```
From N4861 6.5.1 Unqualified name lookup:
> In all the cases listed in [basic.lookup.unqual], the scopes are searched
> for a declaration in the order listed in each of the respective categories;
> name lookup ends as soon as a declaration is found for the name.
> If no declaration is found, the program is ill-formed.
In the affected code there was a use-after-move for all accesses in the constructor
body, but this UB wasn't triggered.
These types of errors are trivial to catch via clang-tidy's [clang-analyzer-cplusplus.Move].
Before:
nix-env % ./src/nix/nix eval --impure --expr 'let f = builtins.readDir "/nix/store/hs3yxdq9knimwdm51gvbs4dvncz46f9d-hello-2.12.1/foo"; in f' --show-trace
error: filesystem error: directory iterator cannot open directory: No such file or directory [/nix/store/hs3yxdq9knimwdm51gvbs4dvncz46f9d-hello-2.12.1/foo]
After:

We're not replacing `Path` in exposed definitions in many cases, but
just adding alternatives. This will allow us to "top down" change `Path`
to `std::fileysystem::path`, and then we can remove the `Path`-using
utilities which will become unused.
Also add some test files which we forgot to include in the libutil unit
tests `meson.build`.

Sometimes we read a directory with children we cannot stat. It's a pitty
we even try to stat at all (wasteful) in the `DT_UNKNOWN` case, but at
least this should get rid of the failure.
This makes for shorter and more portable code.
The only tricky part is catching exceptions: I just searched for near by
`catch (Error &)` or `catch (SysError &)` and adjusted them to `catch
(std::filesystem::filesystem_error &)` according to my human judgement.
Good for windows portability; will help @siddhantk232 with his GSOC
project.
Now that SourcePath uses a SourceAccessor instead of an InputAccessor,
we can use it in function signatures instead of passing a
SourceAccessor and CanonPath separately.
At this point many features are stripped out, but this works:
- Can run libnix{util,store,expr} unit tests
- Can run some Nix commands

This function is nice for more than `PosixSourceAccessor`. We can make a
few things simpler with it.
Note that the error logic slightly changes in some of the call sites, in
that we also count `ENOTDIR` and not just `ENOENT` as not having the
file, but that should be fine.
As discussed in the last Nix team meeting (2024-02-95), this method
doesn't belong because `CanonPath` is a virtual/ideal absolute path
format, not used in file systems beyond the native OS format for which a
"current working directory" is defined.
Progress towards #9205
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`
