C++ Nix resolves home relative paths at [parse] time. This is not an
option for us, since it prevents being able to separate the compilation
and execution phase later (e.g. precompiled nix expressions). However, a
practical consequence of this is that paths expressions are always
literals (strict) and never thunks.

When comparing to C++ Nix, we notice that the thunking of default
expressions in function formals corresponds to their normal thunking,
e.g. literals are not thunked. This means that we can just invoke
compile() without much of a care and trust that it will sort it out
correctly.
If function formals blow up as a result of this, it likely indicates
that the expression is treated incorrectly by compile(), not
compile_param_pattern().

Unary operator applications are thunked which can easily be observed by
nix-instantiate --eval -E '[ (!true) (-1) ]'
Unfortunately, there are few simple expressions where this makes a
difference in the end result. Thus it only cropped up when using nixpkgs
for cross compilation: Here we would compile the expression
!(stdenv.cc.isGNU or false)
to assemble python3Minimal's passthru attribute set (at least this seems
to be the most likely explanation from the backtraces I've studied).
This means that an unthunked
<stdenv.cc.isGNU or false>
OpForce
OpInvert
would be performed in order to assemble this attribute set, causing
stdenv.cc to be evaluated too early, causing an infinite recursion.
Resolves b/273.
It seems that having a test suite that doesn't use --strict and relies
on thunks rendered as <CODE> would be beneficial for catching such
issues. I've not been able to find a test case with --strict that
demonstrates the problem fixed in this CL.

mapAttrs, map and genList call Nix functions provided by the caller and
store the result of applying them in a Nix data structure that does not
force all of its contents when forced itself. This means that when such
a builtin application is forced, the Nix function calls performed by the
builtin should not be forced: They may be forced later, but it is also
possible that they will never be forced, e.g. in
builtins.length (builtins.map (builtins.add 2) [ 1 2 3 ])
it is not necessary to compute a single application of builtins.add.
Since request_call_with immediately performs the function call
requested, Tvix would compute function applications unnecessarily before
this change. Because this was not followed by a request_force, the
impact of this was relatively low in Nix code (most functions return a
new thunk after being applied), but it was enough to cause a lot of
bogus builtins.trace applications when evaluating anything from
`lib.modules`. The newly added test includes many cases where Tvix
previously incorrectly applied a builtin, breaking a working expression.
To fix this we add a new helper to construct a Thunk performing a
function application at runtime from a function and argument given as
`Value`s. This mimics the compiler's compile_apply(), but does itself
not require a compiler, since the necessary Lambda can be constructed
independently.
I also looked into other builtins that call a Nix function to verify
that they don't exhibit such a problem:
- Many builtins immediately use the resulting value in a way that makes
it necessary to compute all the function calls they do as soon as
the outer builtin application is forced:
* all
* any
* filter
* groupBy
* partition
- concatMap needs to (shallowly) force the returned list for
concatenation.
- foldl' is strict in the application of `op` (I added a comment that
makes this explicit).
- genericClosure needs to (shallowly) force the resulting list and some
keys of the attribute sets inside.
Resolves b/272.

This feature allows the compiler to detect situations where the
created thunk is useless and can be merged into the parent chunk
instead.
The only case where the compiler does this initially is when
statically optimising a select expression.
For example, previously the expression `builtins.length` compiled into
two thunks:
1. An "inner" thunk which contained an `OpConstant` that had the
optimised `length` builtin in it.
2. An "outer" thunk which contained an `OpConstant` to access the
inner thunk, and the trailing OpForce of the top-level program.
With this change, the inner thunk is skipped completely and the outer
chunk directly contains the `length` builtin access.
This can be applied in several situations, some easier than others,
and we will add them in as we go along.

Given Rust's current lack of support for tail calls, we cannot avoid
using `async` for builtins. This is the only way to avoid
overflowing the cpu stack when we have arbitrarily deep
builtin/interpreted/builtin/interpreted/... "sandwiches"
There are only five `async fn` functions which are not builtins
(some come in multiple "flavors"):
- add_values
- resolve_with
- force, final_deep_force
- nix_eq, nix_cmp_eq
- coerce_to_string
These can be written iteratively rather than recursively (and in
fact nix_eq used to be written that way!). I volunteer to rewrite
them. If written iteratively they would no longer need to be
`async`.
There are two motivations for limiting our reliance on `async` to
only the situation (builtins) where we have no other choice:
1. Performance.
We don't really have any good measurement of the performance hit
that the Box<dyn Future>s impose on us. Right now all of our
large (nixpkgs-eval) tests are swamped by the cost of other
things (e.g. fork()ing `nix-store`) so we can't really measure
it. Builtins tend to be expensive operations anyways
(regexp-matching, sorting, etc) that are likely to already cost
more than the `async` overhead.
2. Preserving the ability to switch to `musttail` calls.
Clang/LLVM recently got `musttail` (mandatory-elimination tail
calls). Rust has refused to add this mainly because WASM doesn't
support, but WASM `tail_call` has been implemented and was
recently moved to phase 4 (standardization). It is very likely
that Rust will get tail calls sometime in the next year; if it
does, we won't need async anymore. In the meantime, I'd like to
avoid adding any further reliance on `async` in places where it
wouldn't be straightforward to replace it with a tail call.

Warning: This is probably the biggest refactor in tvix-eval history,
so far.
This replaces all instances of trampolines and recursion during
evaluation of the VM loop with generators. A generator is an
asynchronous function that can be suspended to yield a message (in our
case, vm::generators::GeneratorRequest) and receive a
response (vm::generators::GeneratorResponsee).
The `genawaiter` crate provides an interpreter for generators that can
drive their execution and lets us move control flow between the VM and
suspended generators.
To do this, massive changes have occured basically everywhere in the
code. On a high-level:
1. The VM is now organised around a frame stack. A frame is either a
call frame (execution of Tvix bytecode) or a generator frame (a
running or suspended generator).
The VM has an outer loop that pops a frame off the frame stack, and
then enters an inner loop either driving the execution of the
bytecode or the execution of a generator.
Both types of frames have several branches that can result in the
frame re-enqueuing itself, and enqueuing some other work (in the
form of a different frame) on top of itself. The VM will eventually
resume the frame when everything "above" it has been suspended.
In this way, the VM's new frame stack takes over much of the work
that was previously achieved by recursion.
2. All methods previously taking a VM have been refactored into async
functions that instead emit/receive generator messages for
communication with the VM.
Notably, this includes *all* builtins.
This has had some other effects:
- Some test have been removed or commented out, either because they
tested code that was mostly already dead (nix_eq) or because they
now require generator scaffolding which we do not have in place for
tests (yet).
- Because generator functions are technically async (though no async
IO is involved), we lose the ability to use much of the Rust
standard library e.g. in builtins. This has led to many algorithms
being unrolled into iterative versions instead of iterator
combinations, and things like sorting had to be implemented from scratch.
- Many call sites that previously saw a `Result<..., ErrorKind>`
bubble up now only see the result value, as the error handling is
encapsulated within the generator loop.
This reduces number of places inside of builtin implementations
where error context can be attached to calls that can fail.
Currently what we gain in this tradeoff is significantly more
detailed span information (which we still need to bubble up, this
commit does not change the error display).
We'll need to do some analysis later of how useful the errors turn
out to be and potentially introduce some methods for attaching
context to a generator frame again.
This change is very difficult to do in stages, as it is very much an
"all or nothing" change that affects huge parts of the codebase. I've
tried to isolate changes that can be isolated into the parent CLs of
this one, but this change is still quite difficult to wrap one's mind
and I'm available to discuss it and explain things to any reviewer.
Fixes: b/238, b/237, b/251 and potentially others.

In order to implement an asynchronous builtins.sort (required for
moving builtins to generators), we need an `async` sorting algorithm
as our comparators involve invoking a Nix function.
This commit implements a fairly simple, optimised bubble sort as the
sorting algorithm used in our `async fn sort_by`.
There don't seem to be any crates providing async versions of things
like this, and they might actually be pretty hard to implement
generically due to some constraints about how `async` works.
Note that this algorithm is less efficient than the hybrid
"timsort/mergesort/insert sort" used in the Rust standard library. I
tried to write a merge sort implementation, but ran into isuses with
the sort becoming unstable because our comparators can not yield
equality. This is the simplest implementation which I know to be
correct.
Note that as of this commit this is *not* covered by the Tvix test
suite, but it will be as soon as the rest of the generator code lands.

This fixes a very complicated bug (b/246). Evaluation
progresses *much* further after this, leading to several less
complicated bugs likely being uncovered by this
What was the problem?
=====================
Previously, when evaluating a thunk, we had a code path that looked
like this:
match *thunk {
ThunkRepr::Evaluated(Value::Thunk(ref inner_thunk)) => {
let inner_repr = inner_thunk.0.borrow().clone();
drop(thunk);
self.0.replace(inner_repr);
}
/* ... */
}
This code path created a copy of the inner `ThunkRepr` of a nested
thunk, and moved that copy into the `ThunkRepr` of the parent.
The effect of this was that the original `ThunkRepr` (unforced!) lived
on in the original thunk, without the memoization of the subsequent
forcing applying to it.
This had the result that Tvix would repeatedly evaluate these thunks
without ever memoizing them, if they occured repeatedly as shared
inner thunks. Most notably, this would *always* occur when
builtins.import was used.
What's the solution?
====================
I have completely rewritten `Thunk::force_trampoline_self` to make all
flows that can occur in it explicit. I have also removed the outer
loop inside of that function, and resorted to more use of trampolining
instead.
The function is now well-commented and it should be possible to read
it from top-to-bottom and get a general sense of what is going on,
though the trampolining itself (which is implemented in the VM) needs
to be at least partially understood for this.
What's the new problem(s)?
==========================
One new (known) problem is that we have to construct `Error` instances
in all error types here, but we do not have spans available in some
thunk-related situations. Due to b/238 we cannot ask the VM for an
arbitrary span from the callsite leading to the force. This means that
there are now code paths where, under certain conditions, causing an
evaluation error during thunk forcing will panic.
To fix this we will need to investigate and fix b/238, and/or add a
span tracking mechanism to thunks themselves.
What other impacts does this have?
==================================
With this commit, eval of nixpkgs mostly succeeds (things like stdenv
evaluate to the same hashes for us and C++ Nix, meaning we now
construct identical derivations without eval breaking).
Due to this we progress much further into nixpkgs, which lets us
uncover more additional bugs. For example, after this commit we can
quickly see that cl/7949 introduces some kind of behavioural issue and
should not be merged as-is (this was not apparent before).
Additionally, tvix-eval is now seemingly very fast. When doing
performance analysis of a nixpkgs eval, we now mostly see the code
path for shelling out to C++ Nix to add things to the store in there.
We still need those code paths, so we can not (yet) do a performance
analysis beyond that.

Apparently our naive implementation of float formatting, which simply
used {:.5}, and trimmed trailing "0" strings not sufficient.
It wrongly trimmed numbers with zeroes but no decimal point, like
`10000` got trimmed to `1`.
Nix uses `std::to_string` on the double, which according to
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/string/basic_string/to_string
is equivalent to `std::sprintf(buf, "%f", value)`.
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/io/c/fprintf mentions this is treated
like this:
> Precision specifies the exact number of digits to appear after
> the decimal point character. The default precision is 6. In the
> alternative implementation decimal point character is written even if
> no digits follow it. For infinity and not-a-number conversion style
> see notes.
This doesn't seem to be the case though, and Nix uses scientific
notation in some cases.
There's a whole bunch of strategies to determine which is a more compact
notation, and which notation should be used for a given number.
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/24556 provides some pointers

[lexical-core](https://github.com/Alexhuszagh/rust-lexical) crate
though, which provides a way to format floats with various strategies
and formats.
Change our implementation of `TotalDisplay` for the `Value::Float` case
to use that. We still need to do some post-processing, because Nix
always adds the sign in scientific notation (and there's no way to
configure lexical-core to do that), and lexical-core in some cases keeps
the trailing zeros.
Even with all that in place, there as a difference in `eval-okay-
fromjson.nix` (from tvix-tests), which I couldn't get to work. I updated
the fixture to a less problematic number.
With this, the testsuite passes again, and does for the upcoming CL
introducing builtins.fromTOML, and enabling the nix testsuite bits for
it, too.

The codebase contains a lot of complexity and odd roundabout
handling for shadowing globals. I'm pretty sure none of this is
necessary, and all of it disappears if you simply make the globals
part of the ordinary identifier resolution chain, with their own
scope up above the root scope. Then the ordinary shadowing routines
do the right thing, and no special cases or new terminology are
required.
This commit does that.
Note by tazjin: This commit was originally abandoned when Adam decided
not to take away reviewer bandwidth for this at the time (eval was
still in a much earlier stage). As we've recently done some
significant refactoring of globals initialisation this came up again,
and it seems we can easily cover the use-cases of the poison tracking
in other ways now, so I've rebased, updated and resurrected the CL.

With this implementation, the thunk at `builtins.builtins` actually

This is kind of ugly, and it's something users shouldn't use, but
bubbling a warning out of this is difficult at the moment due to a

Previously the construction of globals (a compiler-only concept) and
builtins (a (now) user-facing API) was intermingled between multiple
different modules, and kind of difficult to understand.
The complexity of this had grown in large part due to the
implementation of `builtins.import`, which required the notorious
"knot-tying" trick using Rc::new_cyclic (see cl/7097) for constructing
the set of globals.
As part of the new `Evaluation` API users should have the ability to
bring their own builtins, and control explicitly whether or not impure
builtins are available (regardless of whether they're compiled in or
not).
To streamline the construction and allow the new API features to work,
this commit restructures things by making these changes:
1. The `tvix_eval::builtins` module is now only responsible for
exporting sets of builtins. It no longer has any knowledge of
whether or not certain sets (e.g. only pure, or pure+impure) are
enabled, and it has no control over which builtins are globally
available (this is now handled in the compiler).
2. The compiler module is now responsible for both constructing the
final attribute set of builtins from the set of builtins supplied
by a user, as well as for populating its globals (that is
identifiers which are available at the top-level scope).
3. The `Evaluation` API now carries a `builtins` field which is
populated with the pure builtins by default, and can be extended by
users.
4. The `import` feature has been moved into the compiler, as a
special case. In general, builtins no longer have the ability to
reference the "fix point" of the globals set.
This should not change any functionality, and in fact preserves minor
differences between Tvix/Nix that we already had (such as
`builtins.builtins` not existing).

Returns the store directory through EvalIO::store_dir.
Note that this is _optional_ in Tvix, as an evaluation can occur in a
context where there simply is no store directory. In those contexts,
`builtins.storeDir` returns `null` in Tvix.
This would only happen in contexts like Tvixbolt (or completely
unrelated use-cases) in practice.

This trait is going to be used to abstract filesystem interactions in
Tvix.
For now, it only contains a `read_to_string` method that closely
mirrors `std::fs::read_to_string`.
As a first step, to see how this works in practice, we will thread
through only this function to the various relevant parts.
Two implementations are provided in tvix-eval itself: A dummy
implementation (which just returns ErrorKind::NotImplemented for all
operations), and a std implementation which delegates to `std`
functions.

This type carries the information required for calculating a
span (i.e. the chunk and offset), instead of the span itself. The span
is then only calculated in cases where it is required (when throwing
errors).
This reduces the eval time for
`builtins.length (builtins.attrNames (import <nixpkgs> {}))` by *one
third*!
The data structure in chunks that carries span information reduces
in-memory size by trading off the speed of retrieving span
information. This is because the span information is only actually
required when throwing errors (or emitting warnings).
However, somewhere along the way we grew a dependency on carrying span
information in thunks (for correctly reporting error chains). Hitting
the code paths for span retrieval was expensive, and carrying the
spans in a different way would still be less cache-efficient. This
change is the best tradeoff I could come up with.

Instead of finding locals by doing 2x O(n) walks over the compiler's
locals list, use a secondary name-based index for resolving locals by
name.
Previously, almost 60% (!!) of eval time on some expressions over
nixpkgs was spent in `Local::has_name`. This function doesn't even
exist anymore now, and eval speed about doubles as a result.
Note that this doesn't exactly make the locals code easier to read,
but I'm also not sure what we can simplify in there in general.
This fixes b/227.

The tvix-eval project is independent from any *uses* of the evaluator,
such as the tvix-repl.
This functionality has been split out into a separate "tvix-cli"
crate. Note that this doesn't have to mean that this CLI crate is the
"final" CLI crate for tvix, the point of this is not "getting the CLI
structure right" but rather "getting the evaluator structure right".
This reshuffling is part of restructuring the way that functionality
like store communication is injected into language evaluation.
Note that at this commit the new CLI crate is not at feature-parity.

A step towards something more like how I imagine the future public API
for tvix-eval. Please note that this is definitely not the final
version yet, but it's better than the previous API that either exposed
a side-effecting blackbox, or a very low-level "interface".
The basic idea is that an evaluation of some Nix code is requested by
a caller with various parameters, but not all callers are interested
in all of these parameters.
There are also some bits of information that are returned from an
evaluation that are not necessarily relevant to all callers.
To support this somewhat ergonomically, the API is built around an
`Evaluation` struct that is configured by the caller with the various
parameters and then "executed".

Introduces granular dependency builds using crate2nix, bootstrapped
off the generated configuration from the newly introduced
workspace (see cl/7533).
This commit checks in the generated Cargo.nix file which can be
regenerated with a parameterless invocation of `crate2nix generate` in
`//tvix`. I tried generating this in IFD, but it turned out to be
harder than what seemed worthwhile for now.
In this setup, the various build targets for Rust projects end up
being attributes of the imported `Cargo.nix` file at the `tvix.crates`
attribute. These still lack configuration, however, which has been
fixed in the various `default.nix` files of individual projects.
Note that we (temporarily) lose the ability to build tvix-eval's
benchmarks in CI. I haven't figured out what magic incantation summons
them from the void again ...
The `eval-okay-readDir` tests from both test suites have been disabled
because they fail for unknown reasons when run in this new derivation.
Somebody will have to debug it!

This relates to the (abandoned) cl/7256.
Introduces a Cargo workspace at //tvix that is primarily intended to
be used as a workaround for the annoying Nix+Rust tooling while having
a consistent set of dependencies.
This is driven in part by a desire to adopt crate2nix and get more
granular Nix builds for Tvix's Rust projects, and in part by a need to
split //tvix/eval into something providing the CLI (REPL etc.), and a
library providing eval, without significantly altering the structure
of build targets.
To accomplish this the workspace has been designed to allow projects
to remain independent build targets. I want to avoid lumping all the
projects together - something like //tvix/eval should always be
independent of other parts of tvix.
A helper function in //tvix/default.nix lets downstream naersk
projects construct a sparse root for the project which combines the
workspace's `Cargo.lock` with the project's own `Cargo.toml`.
Note that cargo commands in the workspace itself require the build
dependencies of _all_ projects to be present, which is currently a bit
annoying to accomplish.
This introduces some breakage:
1. It breaks usage of rust-analyser without being in a shell with the
dependencies of *all* Tvix projects, as it is not capable of
respecting only the subset of dependencies for a part of the
workspace.
2. It is no longer possible to run tests using `cargo test`, as the
test generation crate we use does not work with workspaces:
https://github.com/frehberg/test-generator/issues/6
This still works in the Nix build as we construct a Cargo project
that looks like it's not in a workspace there. Until somebody fixes
that crate / writes a new macro / does something else with the test
suite, the way to run the tests is through the Nix build.
Long-term we'll probably want to get rid of cargo completely, it's
just a big wart and most tooling works without it if correctly
configured, but we don't have time for that now.
