Same as cl/921, it seems that the trick to making this work is indeed
overriding the C++ standard used in the dependency.

This didn't work previously ... but now it does. I think setting the
standard explicitly is what did the trick, but it's slightly unclear
to me why.
Either way this means that Abseil is no longer constantly getting
recompiled when building Nix, which is nice.

This reverts commit 368e8d1edd.
Reason for revert: Didn't mean to submit, and the phase is currently failing (which breaks the otherwise-functional derivation)

Add an installCheckPhase that runs the appropriate substituteAll on
common.sh and runs the lang.sh tests with the build artifacts in the
PATH.

This includes absl, which we install into the output, and boost and the boehm GC,
which are moved to propagated deps.

Completes the switch from Meson to CMake for the core build system in
Nix.
Meson was added originally because someone else had already done the
work for integrating it in Nix and it was an upgrade from the previous
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.
This wrapper derivation (which assumes that the depot is available at
~/depot) can be used to actually get clangd working with
//third_party/nix.
In my setup I can launch this with M-x eglot, followed by
env
CLANGD_FLAGS='--compile-commands-dir=/home/tazjin/projects/nix-build'
nix-shell -A third_party.nix --run 'nix-clangd' /home/tazjin/depot
Meson is unable to use CMake in Nix to determine the internal
structure of the Abseil libraries.
This commit adds an explicit list of most of the Abseil targets that
are relevant (so far) and bundles them into a list that is linked
together.
cmake automatically runs a configure hook which breaks the build,
since this isn't actually a cmake project. This hook is now disabled.
Additionally Abseil's sources are linked to an absolute derivation
path when the build launches, as opposed to the relative path used for
development builds.
This last change set was generated by a full clang-tidy run (including
compilation):
clang-tidy -p ~/projects/nix-build/ \
-checks=-*,readability-braces-around-statements -fix src/*/*.cc
Actually running clang-tidy requires some massaging to make it play
nice with Nix + meson, I'll be adding a wrapper or something for that soon.
