`m` must always be an attrset at this point. It is basically always
evaluated. This will make it throw when any of the attrs is accessed,
rather than just `config`. We assume that this will improve the error
message in more scenarios.
This reverts commit PR #167947.
Flakes aren't standardised and the `lib` namespace shouldn't be
polluted with utilities that serve only experimental uses.
For other platforms like Intel and ARM, we can do
e.g. lib.platforms.aarch64 to get only the 64-bit ARM platorms, but
until now there were no equivalents for RISC-V.
Closes#168327
The issue reported there can be demonstrated with the following
expression:
→ nix-instantiate --eval -E "with import ./. {}; pkgs.lib.options.showDefs [ { file = \"foo\"; value = pkgs.rust.packages.stable.buildRustPackages; } ]"
error: attempt to call something which is not a function but a string
at /home/ma27/Projects/nixpkgs/lib/trivial.nix:442:35:
441| isFunction = f: builtins.isFunction f ||
442| (f ? __functor && isFunction (f.__functor f));

Basically, if a `__functor` is in an attribute-set at depth-limit,
`__functor` will be set to `"<unevaluated>"`. This however breaks
`lib.isFunction` which checks for a `__functor` by invoking `__functor`
with `f` itself.
The same issue - "magic" attributes being shadowed by `withRecursion` -
also applies to others such as
`__pretty`/`__functionArgs`/`__toString`.
Since these attributes have a low-risk of causing a stack overflow
(because these are flat attr-sets or even functions), ignoring them in
`withRecursion` seems like a valid solution.
Documents the _module.args option, motivated by many usages in Flakes,
especially with the deprecation of extraArgs
(78ada83361)
The documentation rendering for this option had to be handled a bit
specially, since it's not declared in nixos/modules like all the other
NixOS options.

MIPS has a large space of {architecture,abi,endianness}; this commit
adds all of them to lib/systems/platforms.nix so we can be done with
it.
Currently lib/systems/inspect.nix has a single "isMips" predicate,
which is a bit ambiguous now that we will have both mips32 and mips64
support, with the latter having two ABIs. Let's add four new
predicates (isMips32, isMips64, isMips64n32, and isMips64n64) and
treat the now-ambiguous isMips as deprecated in favor of the
more-specific predicates. These predicates are used mainly for
enabling/disabling target-specific workarounds, and it is extremely
rare that a platform-specific workaround is needed, and both mips32
and mips64 need exactly the same workaround.
The separate predicates (isMips64n32 and isMips64n64) for ABI
distinctions are, unfortunately, useful. Boost's user-scheduled
threading (used by nix) does does not currently supports mips64n32,
which is a very desirable ABI on routers since they rarely have
more than 2**32 bytes of DRAM.
... where a bare submodule is an option that has a type like
`submoduleWith x`, as opposed to `attrsOf (submoduleWith x)`.
This makes migration unnecessary when introducing a freeform type
in an existing option tree.
Closes#146882
This ensures that the module file locations are propagated to the
freeform type, which makes it so that submodules in freeform types now
have their declaration location shown in the manual, fixing
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/132085.
In addition, this also newly allows freeformTypes to be declared
multiple times and all declarations being merged together according to
normal option merging.
This also removes some awkwardness regarding the type of `freeformType`
This type correctly merges multiple option types together while also
annotating them with file information. In a future commit this will be
used for `_module.freeformType`
`builtins.currentSystem` is not available in pure eval. For this
particular test, we don't really care since it's all about generating
.drv files.
