Closes#460
I managed to trigger the issue by having the following inputs (shortened):
authentik-nix.url = "github:nix-community/authentik-nix";
authentik-nix.inputs.poetry2nix.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
When evaluating this using
nix-eval-jobs --flake .#hydraJobs
I got the following error:
error: cannot update unlocked flake input 'authentik-nix/poetry2nix' in pure mode
The issue we have here is that `authentik-nix/poetry2nix` was written
into the `overrideMap` which caused Nix to assume it's a new input and
tried to refetch it (#460) or errored out in pure mode
(nix-eval-jobs / Hydra).
The testcase unfortunately only involves checking for the output log
and makes sure that something *is* logged on the first fetch so that
the test doesn't rot when the logging changes since I didn't
manage to trigger the error above with the reproducer from #460. In
fact, I only managed to trigger the `cannot update unlocked flake input`
error in this context with `nix-eval-jobs`.

The original attempt at this introduced a regression; this commit
reverts the revert and fixes the regression.
This reverts commit 3e151d4d77.
Fix to the regression:
flakeref: fix handling of `?dir=` param for flakes in subdirs
As reported in #419[1], accessing a flake in a subdir of a Git
repository fails with the previous commit[2] applied with the error
error: unsupported Git input attribute 'dir'
The problem is that the `dir`-param is inserted into the parsed URL if a
flake is fetched from the subdir of a Git repository. However, for the
fetching part this isn't even needed. The fix is to just pass `subdir`
as second argument to `FlakeRef` (which needs a `basedir` that can be
empty) and leave the parsedURL as-is.
Added a regression test to make sure we don't run into this again.

This also bans various sneaking of negative numbers from the language
into unsuspecting builtins as was exposed while auditing the
consequences of changing the Nix language integer type to a newtype.
It's unlikely that this change comprehensively ensures correctness when
passing integers out of the Nix language and we should probably add a
checked-narrowing function or something similar, but that's out of scope
for the immediate change.
During the development of this I found a few fun facts about the
language:
- You could overflow integers by converting from unsigned JSON values.
- You could overflow unsigned integers by converting negative numbers
into them when going into Nix config, into fetchTree, and into flake
inputs.
The flake inputs and Nix config cannot actually be tested properly
since they both ban thunks, however, we put in checks anyway because
it's possible these could somehow be used to do such shenanigans some
other way.
Note that Lix has banned Nix language integer overflows since the very
first public beta, but threw a SIGILL about them because we run with
-fsanitize=signed-overflow -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error in
production builds. Since the Nix language uses signed integers, overflow
was simply undefined behaviour, and since we defined that to trap, it
did.
Trapping on it was a bad UX, but we didn't even entirely notice
that we had done this at all until it was reported as a bug a couple of
months later (which is, to be fair, that flag working as intended), and
it's got enough production time that, aside from code that is IMHO buggy
(and which is, in any case, not in nixpkgs) such as
https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/445, we don't think
anyone doing anything reasonable actually depends on wrapping overflow.
Even for weird use cases such as doing funny bit crimes, it doesn't make
sense IMO to have wrapping behaviour, since two's complement arithmetic
overflow behaviour is so *aggressively* not what you want for *any* kind
of mathematics/algorithms. The Nix language exists for package
management, a domain where bit crimes are already only dubiously in
scope to begin with, and it makes a lot more sense for that domain for
the integers to never lose precision, either by throwing errors if they
would, or by being arbitrary-precision.
This change will be ported to CppNix as well, to maintain language
consistency.

The `allow-flake-configuration` option allows the user to control whether to
accept configuration options supplied by flakes. Unfortunately, setting this
to false really meant "ask each time" (with an option to remember the choice
for each specific option encountered). Let no mean no, and introduce (and
default to) a separate value for the "ask each time" behaviour.

We previously allowed you to map any flake URL to any other flake URL,
including shorthand flakerefs, indirect flake URLs like `flake:nixpkgs`,
direct flake URLs like `github:NixOS/nixpkgs`, or local paths.
But flake registry entries mapping from direct flake URLs often come
from swapping the 'from' and 'to' arguments by accident, and even when
created intentionally, they may not actually work correctly.
This patch rejects those URLs (and fully-qualified flake: URLs), making
it harder to swap the arguments by accident.
Fixes#181.

This reverts commit 35eec921af.
Reason for revert: Regressed nix-eval-jobs, and it appears to be this change is buggy/missing a case. It just needs another pass.
Code causing the problem in n-e-j, when invoked with `nix-eval-jobs --flake '.#hydraJobs'`:

```
Inspecting the program behaviour reveals that `dir` was in fact set in the URL going into the fetcher. This is in turn because unlike in the case changed in this commit, it was not erased before handing it to libfetchers, which is probably just a mistake.

The original idea was to fix lix#174, but for a user friendly solution,
I figured that we'd need more consistency:
* Invalid query params will cause an error, just like invalid
attributes. This has the following two consequences:
* The `?dir=`-param from flakes will be removed before the URL to be
fetched is passed to libfetchers.
* The tarball fetcher doesn't allow URLs with custom query params
anymore. I think this was questionable anyways given that an
arbitrary set of query params was silently removed from the URL you
wanted to fetch. The correct way is to use an attribute-set
with a key `url` that contains the tarball URL to fetch.
* Same for the git & mercurial fetchers: in that case it doesn't even
matter though: both fetchers added unused query params to the URL
that's passed from the input scheme to the fetcher (`url2` in the code).
It turns out that this was never used since the query parameters were
erased again in `getActualUrl`.
* Validation happens for both attributes and URLs. Previously, a lot of
fetchers validated e.g. refs/revs only when specified in a URL and
the validity of attribute names only in `inputFromAttrs`.
Now, all the validation is done in `inputFromAttrs` and `inputFromURL`
constructs attributes that will be passed to `inputFromAttrs`.
* Accept all attributes as URL query parameters. That also includes
lesser used ones such as `narHash`.
And "output" attributes like `lastModified`: these could be declared
already when declaring inputs as attribute rather than URL. Now the
behavior is at least consistent.
Personally, I think we should differentiate in the future between
"fetched input" (basically the attr-set that ends up in the lock-file)
and "unfetched input" earlier: both inputFrom{Attrs,URL} entrypoints
are probably OK for unfetched inputs, but for locked/fetched inputs
a custom entrypoint should be used. Then, the current entrypoints
wouldn't have to allow these attributes anymore.

This breaks downstreams linking to us on purpose to make sure that if
someone is linking to Lix they're doing it on purpose and crucially not
mixing up Nix and Lix versions in compatibility code.
We still need to fix the internal includes to follow the same schema so
we can drop the single-level include system entirely. However, this
requires a little more effort.
This adds pkg-config for libfetchers and config.h.
Migration path:
expr.hh -> lix/libexpr/expr.hh
nix/config.h -> lix/config.h
To apply this migration automatically, remove all `<nix/>` from
includes, so: `#include <nix/expr.hh>` -> `#include <expr.hh>`. Then,
the correct paths will be resolved from the tangled mess, and the
clang-tidy automated fix will work.
Then run the following for out of tree projects:
```

run-clang-tidy -checks='-*,lix-fixincludes' -load=$lix_root/clang-tidy/build/liblix-clang-tidy.so -p build/ -fix src

This reverts commit a8b3d777fb.
This undoes the revert of PR#6621, which allows nested `follows`, i.e.
{
inputs = {
foo.url = "github:bar/foo";
foo.inputs.bar.inputs.nixpkgs = "nixpkgs";
};
}
does the expected thing now. This is useful to avoid the 1000 instances
of nixpkgs problem without having each flake in the dependency tree to
expose all of its transitive dependencies for modification.
This was in fact part of Nix before and the C++ changes applied w/o
conflicts. However, it got reverted then because people didn't want to
merge lazy-trees against it which was supposed to be merged soon back in
October 2022.

for example:
nix-repl> :doc builtins.parseFlakeRef

Parse a flake reference, and return its exploded form.
For example: nix builtins.parseFlakeRef
"github:NixOS/nixpkgs/23.05?dir=lib" evaluates to: nix { dir =
"lib"; owner = "NixOS"; ref = "23.05"; repo = "nixpkgs"; type =

we now keep not a table of all positions, but a table of all origins and
their sizes. position indices are now direct pointers into the virtual
concatenation of all parsed contents. this slightly reduces memory usage
and time spent in the parser, at the cost of not being able to report
positions if the total input size exceeds 4GiB. this limit is not unique
to nix though, rustc and clang also limit their input to 4GiB (although
at least clang refuses to process inputs that are larger, we will not).
this new 4GiB limit probably will not cause any problems for quite a
while, all of nixpkgs together is less than 100MiB in size and already
needs over 700MiB of memory and multiple seconds just to parse. 4GiB
worth of input will easily take multiple minutes and over 30GiB of
memory without even evaluating anything. if problems *do* arise we can
probably recover the old table-based system by adding some tracking to
Pos::Origin (or increasing the size of PosIdx outright), but for time
being this looks like more complexity than it's worth.
since we now need to read the entire input again to determine the
line/column of a position we'll make unsafeGetAttrPos slightly lazy:
mostly the set it returns is only used to determine the file of origin
of an attribute, not its exact location. the thunks do not add
measurable runtime overhead.
notably this change is necessary to allow changing the parser since
apparently nothing supports nix's very idiosyncratic line ending choice
of "anything goes", making it very hard to calculate line/column
positions in the parser (while byte offsets are very easy).

While preparing PRs like #9753, I've had to change error messages in
dozens of code paths. It would be nice if instead of
EvalError("expected 'boolean' but found '%1%'", showType(v))
we could write
TypeError(v, "boolean")
or similar. Then, changing the error message could be a mechanical
refactor with the compiler pointing out places the constructor needs to
be changed, rather than the error-prone process of grepping through the
codebase. Structured errors would also help prevent the "same" error
from having multiple slightly different messages, and could be a first
step towards error codes / an error index.
This PR reworks the exception infrastructure in `libexpr` to
support exception types with different constructor signatures than
`BaseError`. Actually refactoring the exceptions to use structured data
will come in a future PR (this one is big enough already, as it has to
touch every exception in `libexpr`).
The core design is in `eval-error.hh`. Generally, errors like this:
state.error("'%s' is not a string", getAttrPathStr())
.debugThrow<TypeError>()
are transformed like this:
state.error<TypeError>("'%s' is not a string", getAttrPathStr())
.debugThrow()
The type annotation has moved from `ErrorBuilder::debugThrow` to
`EvalState::error`.

Types converted:

- `OutputsSpec`
- `ExtendedOutputsSpec`
- `DerivationOutput`
- `DerivationType`
Existing ones mostly conforming the pattern cleaned up:
- `ContentAddressMethod`
- `ContentAddressWithReferences`
The `DerivationGoal::derivationType` field had a bogus initialization,
now caught, so I made it `std::optional`. I think #8829 can make it
non-optional again because it will ensure we always have the derivation
when we construct a `DerivationGoal`.
See that issue (#7479) for details on the general goal.
`git grep 'Raw::Raw'` indicates the two types I didn't yet convert
`DerivedPath` and `BuiltPath` (and their `Single` variants) . This is
because @roberth and I (can't find issue right now...) plan on reworking
them somewhat, so I didn't want to churn them more just yet.

Special-casing the file name is rather ugly, so we shouldn't do
that. So now any {file,http,https} URL is handled by
TarballInputScheme, except for non-flake inputs (i.e. inputs that have
the attribute `flake = false`).
Over the last year or so I've run into several use cases where I need to
parse and/or serialize URLs for use by `builtins.fetchTree` or
`builtins.getFlake`, largely in order to produce _lockfile-like_ files
for lang2nix frameworks or tools which use `nix` internally to drive
builds.
I've gone through the painstaking process of emulating
`nix::FlakeRef::fromAttrs` and `nix::parseFlakeRef` several times with
mixed success; but these are difficult to create and even harder to
maintain if I hope to stay aligned with changes to the real
parser/serializer.
I understand why adding new `builtins` isn't something we want to do
flagrantly. I'm recommending this addition simply because I keep
encountering use cases where I need to parse/serialize these URIs in
`nix` expressions, and I want a reliable solution.

Motivation
`PathSet` is not correct because string contexts have other forms
(`Built` and `DrvDeep`) that are not rendered as plain store paths.
Instead of wrongly using `PathSet`, or "stringly typed" using
`StringSet`, use `std::std<StringContextElem>`.
-----
In support of this change, `NixStringContext` is now defined as
`std::std<StringContextElem>` not `std:vector<StringContextElem>`. The
old definition was just used by a `getContext` method which was only
used by the eval cache. It can be deleted altogether since the types are
now unified and the preexisting `copyContext` function already suffices.
Summarizing the previous paragraph:
Old:
- `value/context.hh`: `NixStringContext = std::vector<StringContextElem>`
- `value.hh`: `NixStringContext Value::getContext(...)`
- `value.hh`: `copyContext(...)`
New:
- `value/context.hh`: `NixStringContext = std::set<StringContextElem>`
- `value.hh`: `copyContext(...)`
----
The string representation of string context elements no longer contains
the store dir. The diff of `src/libexpr/tests/value/context.cc` should
make clear what the new representation is, so we recommend reviewing
that file first. This was done for two reasons:
Less API churn:
`Value::mkString` and friends did not take a `Store` before. But if
`NixStringContextElem::{parse, to_string}` *do* take a store (as they
did before), then we cannot have the `Value` functions use them (in
order to work with the fully-structured `NixStringContext`) without
adding that argument.
That would have been a lot of churn of threading the store, and this
diff is already large enough, so the easier and less invasive thing to
do was simply make the element `parse` and `to_string` functions not
take the `Store` reference, and the easiest way to do that was to simply
drop the store dir.
Space usage:
Dropping the `/nix/store/` (or similar) from the internal representation
will safe space in the heap of the Nix programming being interpreted. If
the heap contains many strings with non-trivial contexts, the saving
could add up to something significant.
----
The eval cache version is bumped.
The eval cache serialization uses `NixStringContextElem::{parse,
to_string}`, and since those functions are changed per the above, that
means the on-disk representation is also changed.
This is simply done by changing the name of the used for the eval cache
from `eval-cache-v4` to eval-cache-v5`.
----
To avoid some duplication `EvalCache::mkPathString` is added to abstract
over the simple case of turning a store path to a string with just that
string in the context.
Context
This PR picks up where #7543 left off. That one introduced the fully
structured `NixStringContextElem` data type, but kept `PathSet context`
as an awkward middle ground between internal `char[][]` interpreter heap
string contexts and `NixStringContext` fully parsed string contexts.
The infelicity of `PathSet context` was specifically called out during
Nix team group review, but it was agreeing that fixing it could be left
as future work. This is that future work.
A possible follow-up step would be to get rid of the `char[][]`
evaluator heap representation, too, but it is not yet clear how to do
that. To use `NixStringContextElem` there we would need to get the STL
containers to GC pointers in the GC build, and I am not sure how to do
that.
----
PR #7543 effectively is writing the inverse of a `mkPathString`,
`mkOutputString`, and one more such function for the `DrvDeep` case. I
would like that PR to have property tests ensuring it is actually the
inverse as expected.
This PR sets things up nicely so that reworking that PR to be in that
more elegant and better tested way is possible.

* Finish converting existing comments for internal API docs
99% of this was just reformatting existing comments. Only two exceptions:
- Expanded upon `BuildResult::status` compat note
- Split up file-level `symbol-table.hh` doc comments to get

Also fixed a few whitespace goofs, turning leading tabs to spaces and
removing trailing spaces.
Picking up from #8133
* Fix two things from comments
* Use triple-backtick not indent for `dumpPath`
* Convert GNU-style `\`..'` quotes to markdown style in API docs
This will render correctly.
This introduces the SourcePath type from lazy-trees as an abstraction
for accessing files from inputs that may not be materialized in the
real filesystem (e.g. Git repositories). Currently, however, it's just
a wrapper around CanonPath, so it shouldn't change any behaviour. (On
lazy-trees, SourcePath is a <InputAccessor, CanonPath> tuple.)
