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.
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.
This applies the modernization fixes listed here:
https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/list.html
The 'modernize-use-trailing-return-type' fix was excluded due to my
personal preference (more specifically, I think the 'auto' keyword is
misleading in that position).
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.
These were not caught by the previous clang-tidy invocation, but were
instead sorted out using amber[0] as such:
ambr --regex 'for (\(.+\))\s([a-z].*;)' 'for $1 { $2 }'

These were not caught by the previous clang-tidy invocation, but were

ambr --regex 'if (\(.+\))\s([a-z].*;)' 'if $1 { $2 }'

This change was generated with:
fd -e cc -e hh | xargs -I{} clang-tidy {} -p ~/projects/nix-build/ \
--checks='-*,readability-braces-around-statements' --fix \
-fix-errors
Some manual fixes were applied because some convoluted unbraced
statements couldn't be untangled by clang-tidy.
This commit still includes invalid files, but I decided to clean them
up in a subsequent commit so that it becomes more obvious where
clang-tidy failed. Maybe this will allow for a bug-report to
clang-tidy.
Removes the activity transfer that was previously nulled out from the
daemon protocol completely.
This might actually break Nix completely, I haven't tried yet, but
that's fine because this will be replaced with gRPC.
