Previously the memory would occasionally be collected during eval since
the GC doesn't consider the member variable as alive / doesn't scan the

By using the traceable_allocator<T> allocator provided by Boehm GC we
can ensure the memory isn't collected. It should be properly freed when

This reverts parts of the CLs splitting the backing implementation for
Bindings and moves back to only the BTreeMap-backed implementation.
Our evaluation has indicated that the Vector-backed implementation
does not match the performance of the plain array used upstream, and
in my view the complexity introduced by it is not worth the relatively
small (single-digit percentage) performance increase with a
pivot-point close to the number of attributes yielded by
stdenv.mkDerivation.
Going forward we will trial implementations of attribute sets backed
by HAMTs, and investigate other mechanisms of speeding up the language.
Some changes from the previous CLs are retained, for example the
removal of insert_or_assign and the passing of capacity.

To pave the way for the thing we want to do eventually which is use a
linear-time array for bindings (aka attribute sets) that are statically
known to be small enough to get a performance benefit from doing so,
make the Bindings class abstract, and define a BTreeBindings class that
inherits from it and is (currently always) returned from the static
initializer. The idea is that we'll have an ArrayBindings class as well
later that we can dispatch to conditionally based on an optional
"capacity" parameter or something like that.
There was some difficulty here in getting the iterator to work - the
approach we settled on ended up making a concrete BindingsIterator class
which will wrap a std::variant of either a btree iterator or something
else later, but right now just wraps a btree iterator.

nix:AttrName was one of the few classes that relied on the default
constructor of nix::Symbol (which I am trying to remove in a separate
change).
The class essentially represents the name of an attribute in a set,
which is either just a string expression or a dynamically evaluated
expression (e.g. string interpolation).
Previously it would be constructed by only setting one of the fields
and defaulting the other, now it is an explicit std::variant.
Note that there are several code paths where not all eventualities are
handled and this code is bug-for-bug compatible with those, except
that unknown conditions (which should never work) are now throwing
instead of silently doing ... something.
The language tests pass with this change, and the depot derivations
that I tested with evaluated successfully.

I suspect I found the issue: The Nix Command structs are stored on the
heap (using ref<T>, a wrapper around std::shared_ptr<T>), which means
that any pointers that the NixRepl struct contains are eligible to be
reaped by the GC. This includes, but is not limited to, the Env
pointer, which seems to cause most of the random segfaults, or random
other values in the environment, which seems to be what @arianvp

setup.
However over time it became clear that Meson is not quite mature
enough for projects like Nix that have occasionally peculiar
configuration constraints.
Some issues encountered with Meson (some of these are due to the Meson
setup in Nix):
* Difficulty with generating correct compile_commands.json for
external tools like clangd
* Difficulty linking to libc++ when using clang
* Ugly shell invocations for certain parts of the build system (I want
these to be gone!!!)
This CMake setup mimics the Meson configuration, but there are some
differences (some temporary):
* headers are now included separately for each library (see a previous
commit that changes includes appropriately)
* autoheaders-style configuration is currently hardcoded. Before
blindly copying this I want to evaluate how much of it actually exists
for portability concerns that I don't have (such as support for OS
X).
* Nix is built with libc++ by default.
* [libstore] SQL schema is now inlined via a generated header, not an
included string literal
Abseil is still built as part of this build, rather than an external
dependency, because it chokes on differently configured compiler
invocations.
Note that because of the move to libc++ an unwanted behaviour is
introduced: glog log messages no longer have a body. I have yet to
debug what is going on there.
Previously all includes were anchored in one global mess of header
files. This moves the includes into filesystem "namespaces" (if you
will) for each sub-package of Nix.
Note: This commit does not introduce the relevant build system changes.
This function was a custom (and inefficient in the case of
single-character delimiters) string splitter which was used all over
the codebase. Abseil provides an appropriate replacement function.
Replaces these functions with corresponding functions from Abseil,
namely absl::StripAsciiWhitespace and absl::SimpleAtoi.
In the course of doing this some minor things I encountered along the
way were also refactored.
This also changes the signatures of the various custom readFile
functions to use absl::string_view types.
It is considered bad form to use things from includes in headers, as
these directives propagate to everywhere else and can make it
confusing.
types.hh (which is includes almost literally everywhere) had some of
these directives, which this commit removes.
Suppose I have a path /nix/store/[hash]-[name]/a/a/a/a/a/[...]/a,
long enough that everything after "/nix/store/" is longer than 4096
(MAX_PATH) bytes.
Nix will happily allow such a path to be inserted into the store,
because it doesn't look at all the nested structure. It just cares
about the /nix/store/[hash]-[name] part. But, when the path is deleted,
we encounter a problem. Nix will move the path to /nix/store/trash, but
then when it's trying to recursively delete the trash directory, it will
at some point try to unlink
/nix/store/trash/[hash]-[name]/a/a/a/a/a/[...]/a. This will fail,
because the path is too long. After this has failed, any store deletion
operation will never work again, because Nix needs to delete the trash
directory before recreating it to move new things to it. (I assume this
is because otherwise a path being deleted could already exist in the
trash, and then moving it would fail.)
This means that if I can trick somebody into just fetching a tarball
containing a path of the right length, they won't be able to delete
store paths or garbage collect ever again, until the offending path is
manually removed from /nix/store/trash. (And even fixing this manually
is quite difficult if you don't understand the issue, because the
absolute path that Nix says it failed to remove is also too long for
rm(1).)
This patch fixes the issue by making Nix's recursive delete operation
use unlinkat(2). This function takes a relative path and a directory
file descriptor. We ensure that the relative path is always just the
name of the directory entry, and therefore its length will never exceed
255 bytes. This means that it will never even come close to AX_PATH,
and Nix will therefore be able to handle removing arbitrarily deep
directory hierachies.
Since the directory file descriptor is used for recursion after being
used in readDirectory, I made a variant of readDirectory that takes an
already open directory stream, to avoid the directory being opened
multiple times. As we have seen from this issue, the less we have to
interact with paths, the better, and so it's good to reuse file
descriptors where possible.
I left _deletePath as succeeding even if the parent directory doesn't
exist, even though that feels wrong to me, because without that early
return, the linux-sandbox test failed.
