This adds pkg-config to a two or three packages that don't use it,
but we shouldn't let that bother us. It's like our personal stdenv.
This caused nlohmann/json.hpp to leak into a lot of compilation units,
which is slow (when not using precompiled headers).
Cuts build time from 46m24s to 42m5s (real time with -j24: 2m42s to
2m24s).
A test added recently checks that when trying to deserialize a NAR with
two files that Unicode-normalize to the same result either succeeds on
Linux, or fails with an "already exists" error on Darwin. However,
failing with an "already exists" error can in fact also happen on Linux,
when using ZFS with the proper utf8 and Unicode normalization options
set.
This commit fixes the issue by not assuming the behavior from the
current system, but just by blindly checking that either one of the two
aforementioned possibilities happen, whether on Darwin or on Linux.
Additionally, we check that the Unicode normalization behaviour of
nix-store is the same as the host file system.
This leads to confusion about what the command does.

As a prelude to making "or" work like a normal variable, emit a warning
any time the "fn or" production is used in a context that will change
how it is parsed when that production is refactored.
In detail: in the future, OR_KW will be moved to expr_simple, and the
cursed ExprCall production that is currently part of the expr_select
nonterminal will be generated "normally" in expr_app instead. Any
productions that accept an expr_select will be affected, except for the
expr_app nonterminal itself (because, while expr_app has a production
accepting a bare expr_select, its other production will continue to
accept "fn or" expressions). So all we need to do is emit an appropriate
warning when an expr_simple representing a cursed ExprCall is accepted
in one of those productions without first going through expr_app.
As the warning message describes, users can suppress the warning by
wrapping their problematic "fn or" expressions in parentheses. For
example, "f g or" can be made future-proof by rewriting it as
"f (g or)"; similarly "[ x y or ]" can be rewritten as "[ x (y or) ]",
etc. The parentheses preserve the current grouping behavior, as in the
future "f g or" will be parsed as "(f g) or", just like
"f g anything-else" is grouped. (Mechanically, this suppresses the
warning because the problem ExprCalls go through the
"expr_app : expr_select" production, which resets the cursed status on
the ExprCall.)
Because of an objc quirk[1], calling curl_global_init for the first time
after fork() will always result in a crash.
Up until now the solution has been to set
OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY for every nix process to ignore
that error.
This is less than ideal because we were setting it in package.nix,
which meant that running nix tests locally would fail because
that variable was not set.
Instead of working around that error we address it at the core -
by calling curl_global_init inside initLibStore, which should mean
curl will already have been initialized by the time we try to do so in
a forked process.

Note: in general, we rely on the OS to tell us if a name is invalid or
if two names normalize in the same way. But for security, we do want
to make sure that we catch '.', '..', slashes and NUL characters. (NUL
characters aren't really a security issue, but since they would be
truncated when we pass them to the OS, it would be canonicity problem.)
Relative path flakes ("subflakes") are basically fundamentally
broken, since they produce lock file entries like
"locked": {
"lastModified": 1,
"narHash": "sha256-/2tW9SKjQbRLzfcJs5SHijli6l3+iPr1235zylGynK8=",
"path": "./flakeC",
"type": "path"
},
that don't specify what "./flakeC" is relative to. They *sometimes*
worked by accident because the `narHash` field allowed
`fetchToStore()` to get the store path of the subflake *if* it
happened to exist in the local store or in a substituter.
Subflakes are properly fixed in #10089 (which adds a "parent" field to
the lock file). Rather than come up with some crazy hack to make them
work in the interim, let's just disable the only test that depends on
the broken behaviour for now.
When `nix fmt` is called without an argument, Nix appends the "." argument before calling the formatter. The comment in the code is:
> Format the current flake out of the box
This also happens when formatting sub-folders.
This means that the formatter is now unable to distinguish, as an interface, whether the "." argument is coming from the flake or the user's intent to format the current folder. This decision should be up to the formatter.
Treefmt, for example, will automatically look up the project's root and format all the files. This is the desired behaviour. But because the "." argument is passed, it cannot function as expected.

$ nix flake metadata --store /tmp/nix nixpkgs

On macOS, `mkdir("x/')` behaves differently than `mkdir("x")` if `x` is
a dangling symlink (the formed succeed while the latter fails). So make
sure we always strip the trailing slash.

We're not replacing `Path` in exposed definitions in many cases, but
just adding alternatives. This will allow us to "top down" change `Path`
to `std::fileysystem::path`, and then we can remove the `Path`-using
utilities which will become unused.
Also add some test files which we forgot to include in the libutil unit
tests `meson.build`.

`make check` was reverted too soon. The hacking guide wasn't brought

meson for everything.

Since we have a componentized build, we've solved the duplication.
In the new situation, building both with and without unit tests
isn't any slow than just a build with unit tests, so there's no
point in using the unit-tested build anymore.
By using the otherwise untested build, we reduce the minimum build
time towards the NixOS test, at no cost.
If you want to run all tests, build all attributes.
Setting it to /bin/sh will make it more predictable when users have
their favorite shell in SHELL, which might not behave as expected.
For instance, a bad rc file could send something to stdout before
our LocalCommand gets to write "started".
This may help https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/11010
This ensures just `nix build`-ing the flake doesn't forget to run all
tests. One can still specifiy specific attributes to just build one
thing.

Now that we can run all tests with Meson, we want developers making code
changes to use it.
(Only the manual needs to be built with the build system, and that will
change shortly.)
This reverts commit b0bc2a97bf.
This ended up motivating a good deal of other infra improvements in
order to get Windows right:
- `OsString` to complement `std::filesystem::path`
- env var code for working with the underlying `OsString`s
- Rename `PATHNG_LITERAL` to `OS_STR`
- `NativePathTrait` renamed to `OsPathTrait`, given a character template
parameter until #9205 is complete.
Split `tests.cc` matching split of `util.{cc,hh}` last year.

The test split matches PR #8920, so the utility files and tests files
are once again to 1-1. The string changes continues what was started in
PR #11093.
* docs: unify documentation on search paths
- put all the information on search path semantics into `builtins.findFile`
- put all the information on determining the value of `builtins.nixPath` into the
`nix-path` setting
maybe `builtins.nixPath` is a better place for this, but those bits
can still be moved around now that it's all next to each other.
- link to the syntax page for lookup paths from all places that are
concerned with it
- add or clarify examples
- add a test verifying a claim from documentation
This also bans various sneaking of negative numbers from the language
into unsuspecting builtins as was exposed while auditing the
consequences of changing the Nix language integer type to a newtype.
It's unlikely that this change comprehensively ensures correctness when
passing integers out of the Nix language and we should probably add a
checked-narrowing function or something similar, but that's out of scope
for the immediate change.
During the development of this I found a few fun facts about the
language:
- You could overflow integers by converting from unsigned JSON values.
- You could overflow unsigned integers by converting negative numbers
into them when going into Nix config, into fetchTree, and into flake
inputs.
The flake inputs and Nix config cannot actually be tested properly
since they both ban thunks, however, we put in checks anyway because
it's possible these could somehow be used to do such shenanigans some
other way.
Note that Lix has banned Nix language integer overflows since the very
first public beta, but threw a SIGILL about them because we run with
-fsanitize=signed-overflow -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error in
production builds. Since the Nix language uses signed integers, overflow
was simply undefined behaviour, and since we defined that to trap, it
did.
Trapping on it was a bad UX, but we didn't even entirely notice
that we had done this at all until it was reported as a bug a couple of
months later (which is, to be fair, that flag working as intended), and
it's got enough production time that, aside from code that is IMHO buggy
(and which is, in any case, not in nixpkgs) such as
https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/445, we don't think
anyone doing anything reasonable actually depends on wrapping overflow.
Even for weird use cases such as doing funny bit crimes, it doesn't make
sense IMO to have wrapping behaviour, since two's complement arithmetic
overflow behaviour is so *aggressively* not what you want for *any* kind
of mathematics/algorithms. The Nix language exists for package
management, a domain where bit crimes are already only dubiously in
scope to begin with, and it makes a lot more sense for that domain for
the integers to never lose precision, either by throwing errors if they
would, or by being arbitrary-precision.

Few filesystem-related tests rely on PATH_MAX for buffers, and PATH_MAX
is optional in POSIX (and not available on the Hurd). To make them build
and pass, provide a fallback definition of PATH_MAX in case not
available.
Ideally speaking, the tests ought to not unconditionally rely on
PATH_MAX, do alternative strategies (e.g. dynamically allocate buffers,
expand them as needed, etc); OTOH this is test code, so it would be more
work that what it would be worth, so IMHO the define fallback is good
enough.
