This does break the API of being able to import any lib file and get
its libs, however I'm not sure people did this.
I made this while exploring being able to swap out docFn with a stub
in #2305, to avoid functor performance problems. I don't know if that
is going to move forward (or if it is a problem or not,) but after
doing all this work figured I'd put it up anyway :)
Two notable advantages to this approach:
1. when a lib inherits another lib's functions, it doesn't
automatically get put in to the scope of lib
2. when a lib implements a new obscure functions, it doesn't
automatically get put in to the scope of lib
Using the test script (later in this commit) I got the following diff
on the API:
+ diff master fixed-lib
11764a11765,11766
> .types.defaultFunctor
> .types.defaultTypeMerge
11774a11777,11778
> .types.isOptionType
> .types.isType
11781a11786
> .types.mkOptionType
11788a11794
> .types.setType
11795a11802
> .types.types
This means that this commit _adds_ to the API, however I can't find a
way to fix these last remaining discrepancies. At least none are
_removed_.
Test script (run with nix-repl in the PATH):
#!/bin/sh
set -eux
repl() {
suff=${1:-}
echo "(import ./lib)$suff" \
| nix-repl 2>&1
}
attrs_to_check() {
repl "${1:-}" \
| tr ';' $'\n' \
| grep "\.\.\." \
| cut -d' ' -f2 \
| sed -e "s/^/${1:-}./" \
| sort
}
summ() {
repl "${1:-}" \
| tr ' ' $'\n' \
| sort \
| uniq
}
deep_summ() {
suff="${1:-}"
depth="${2:-4}"
depth=$((depth - 1))
summ "$suff"
for attr in $(attrs_to_check "$suff" | grep -v "types.types"); do
if [ $depth -eq 0 ]; then
summ "$attr" | sed -e "s/^/$attr./"
else
deep_summ "$attr" "$depth" | sed -e "s/^/$attr./"
fi
done
}
(
cd nixpkgs
#git add .
#git commit -m "Auto-commit, sorry" || true
git checkout fixed-lib
deep_summ > ../fixed-lib
git checkout master
deep_summ > ../master
)
if diff master fixed-lib; then
echo "SHALLOW MATCH!"
fi
(
cd nixpkgs
git checkout fixed-lib
repl .types
)
The backslash wasn't properly escaped, and "\." is apparently equal to
".". So it's accidentally filtering out these valid file names (in
Nixpkgs):
trace: excluding clfswm
trace: excluding larswm
trace: excluding mkpasswd
While at it, turn the file filter stricter to what it was before
e2589b3ca2. That is, the file name must
start with a dot: '.swp', '.foo.swo' are filtered but 'bar.swf' is not.
This version should have more conventional regexes that work across many
platforms and regex engines. This is an issue because up until Nix 1.11,
Nix called out to the libc regex matcher, which behaved differently on
Darwin and Linux. And in Nix 1.12, we're moving to std::regex which will
also behave differently here.
And yes, I do actually evaluate make-disk-image.nix on Darwin ;)
Fixes error: cannot coerce a partially applied built-in function to a string, at lib/sources.nix:59:32
I don't understand how this used to work, but doesn't work anymore?
lib.splitString was blowing up the stack in instances where the
.git/packed-refs file was too large. We now use a regexp over the
whole file instead.
Closes #16570
