`pipe` is a useful operator for creating pipelines of functions.
It works around the usual problem of e.g. string operations becoming
deeply nested functions.
In principle, there are four different ways this function could be
written:
pipe val [ f1 .. fn ]
pipe val [ fn .. f1 ]
compose [ f1 .. fn ] val
compose [ fn .. f1 ] val
The third and fourth form mirror composition of functions, they would
be the same as e.g. `(f1 << f2 << f3 .. << fn) val`.
However, it is not clear which direction the list should have (as one
can see in the second form, which is the most absurd.
In order not to confuse users, we decide for the most “intuitive”
form, which mirrors the way unix pipes work (thus the name `pipe`).
The flow of data goes from left to right.

Remove the "version" parameter in order to make it more widely
available.
Starts making some kernel configuration helpers available.
The intent is to be able to better build and check the linux kernel
configuration.
We don't want to ignore config that can mess up machines. In general
this should always fail evaluation, as you think you are changing
behaviour and don't, which can easily create run-time errors we can
catch early.
Previously mkRemovedOptionModule would only show the replacement
instructions when the removed option was *defined*. With this change, it
also does so when an option is *used*.
This is essential for options that are only intended to be used such as
`security.acme.directory`, whose replacement instructions would never
trigger without this change because almost everybody only uses the
option and isn't defining it.
This makes the function available without having to evaluate the
Nixpkgs fix-point, making it available in a more natural way for
code that deals with multiple Nixpkgs invocations.
Its definition is coupled to Nix rather than Nixpkgs, so it will
feel right at home in lib.
This allows querying function arguments of things like fetchFromGitHub:
nix-repl> lib.functionArgs pkgs.fetchFromGitHub
{ fetchSubmodules = true; githubBase = true; ... }
This change is API-compatible and hash-compatible with the previous
version.
At first I considered to write a rename function too, but adding
it name to cleanSourceWith was a no-brainer for ease of use. It
turns out that a rename function isn't any more useful than
cleanSourceWith.
To avoid having to write the identity predicate when renaming,
the filter is now optional.
builtins.path is supported since Nix 2.0 which is required by nixpkgs
This allows `apply` functions to return a valid value if they completely
ignore their argument, which is the case for the option renaming
functions like `mkAliasOptionModule`. Therefore this solves issue #63693
`sourceByRegex src regexes` should include a source file if one of the
regular expressions `regexes` matches the path of that file relative
to `src`.
However to compute this relative path `sourceByRegex` uses:
```
relPath = lib.removePrefix (toString src + "/") (toString path);
```
Note that `toString path` evaluates to an absolute file somewhere
under `src` and not under `/nix/store`.
The problem is that this doesn't work if `src` is a `cleanSourceWith`
invocation as well because `toString src` will then evaluate to
`src.outPath` which will evaluate to `builtins.filterSource ...` which
evaluates to a path in `/nix/store` which is not a prefix of `path`.
The solution is to replace `src` with `origSrc` where
```
origSrc = if isFiltered then src.origSrc else src;
isFiltered = src ? _isLibCleanSourceWith;
```
Test this by executing the following from the nixpkgs repo:
```
(cat << 'EOI'
let
pkgs = import ./. {};
in pkgs.runCommand "test-sourceByRegex" {
test_sourceByRegex =
let
src1 = pkgs.lib.sourceByRegex ./. [ "^test-sourceByRegex.nix$" ];
src2 = pkgs.lib.sourceByRegex src1 [ "^test-sourceByRegex.nix$" ];
in src2 + "/test-sourceByRegex.nix";
} ''
cp $test_sourceByRegex $out
''
EOI
) > test-sourceByRegex.nix
nix-build test-sourceByRegex.nix
```
The main purpose is to bring attention to `flip map`, which improves
code readablity. It is useful when ad-hoc anonymous function
grows two or more lines in `map` application:
```
map (lcfg:
let port = lcfg.port;
portStr = if port != defaultPort then ":${toString port}" else "";
scheme = if cfg.enableSSL then "https" else "http";
in "${scheme}://cfg.hostName${portStr}"
) (getListen cfg);
```
Compare this to `foreach`-style:
```
foreach (getListen cfg) (lcfg:
let port = lcfg.port;
portStr = if port != defaultPort then ":${toString port}" else "";
scheme = if cfg.enableSSL then "https" else "http";
in "${scheme}://cfg.hostName${portStr}"
);
```
This is similar to Haskell's `for` (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.12.0.0/docs/Data-Traversable.html#v:for)
This reverts commit ce2f74df2c.
Doubles are treated as -darwin here, to provide some consistency.
There is some ambiguity between “x86_64-darwin” and “i686-darwin”
which could refer to binaries linked between iOS simulator or real
macOS binaries. useiOSPrebuilt can be used to determine which to use,
however.
The error can be reproduced like:
```
$ nix-instantiate ./nixos -A system --arg configuration '
{ fileSystems."/".device = "nodev";
boot.loader.grub.devices = [ "nodev" ];
containers.t.config.imports = [ <nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualisation/amazon-image.nix> ];
}'
```
Previously error was:
```
error: The unique option `containers.t.networking.hostName' is defined multiple times, in `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualisation/amazon-image.nix' and `module at /home/danbst/dev/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualisation/containers.nix:470'.
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
```
Now it is:
```
error: The unique option `containers.t.networking.hostName' is defined multiple times, in:
- /nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualisation/amazon-image.nix
- module at /home/danbst/dev/nixpkgs/nixos/modules/virtualisation/containers.nix:470.
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
```

This makes things a little bit more convenient. Just pass in like:
$ nix-build ’<nixpkgs>’ -A hello --argstr localSystem x86_64-linux --argstr crossSystem aarch64-linux
Adds pkgsCross.wasm32 and pkgsCross.wasm64. Use it to build Nixpkgs
with a WebAssembly toolchain.
stdenv/cross: use static overlay on isWasm
isWasm doesn’t make sense dynamically linked.
It is useful to make these dynamic and not bake them into gcc. This
means we don’t have to rebuild gcc to change these values. Instead, we
will pass cflags to gcc based on platform values. This was already
done hackily for android gcc (which is multi-target), but not for our
own gccs which are single target.
To accomplish this, we need to add a few things:
- add ‘arch’ to cpu
- add NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE_BEFORE flag (goes before args)
- set -march everywhere
- set mcpu, mfpu, mmode, and mtune based on targetPlatform.gcc flags
cc-wrapper: only set -march when it is in the cpu type
Some architectures don’t have a good mapping of -march. For instance
POWER architecture doesn’t support the -march flag at all!
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/RS_002f6000-and-PowerPC-Options.html#RS_002f6000-and-PowerPC-Options
This makes us less reliant on the systems/examples.nix. You should be
able to cross compile with just your triple:
$ nix build --arg crossSystem '{ config = "armv6l-unknown-linux-gnueabi"; }' stdenv
ppc64le and ppc64 are different targets in the configure script. We
can’t use the same one.
TODO: canonicalize similar ones based on qemu’s configure script.
New android ndk (18) now uses clang. We were going through the wrapper
that are provided. This lead to surprising errors when building.
Ideally we could use the llvm linker as well, but this leads to errors
as many packages don’t support the llvm linker.
The explicit remove helped to uncover some hidden uses of `optionSet`
in NixOps. However it makes life harder for end-users of NixOps - it will
be impossible to deploy 19.03 systems with old NixOps, but there is no
new release of NixOps with `optionSet` fixes.
Also, "deprecation" process isn't well defined. Even that `optionSet` was
declared "deprecated" for many years, it was never announced. Hence, I
leave "deprecation" announce. Then, 3 releases after announce,
we can announce removal of this feature.
This type has to be removed, not `throw`-ed in runtime, because it makes
some perfectly fine code to fail. For example:
```
$ nix-instantiate --eval -E '(import <nixpkgs/lib>).types' --strict
trace: `types.list` is deprecated; use `types.listOf` instead
error: types.optionSet is deprecated; use types.submodule instead
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)
```
Comments on conflicts:
- llvm: d6f401e1 vs. 469ecc70 - docs for 6 and 7 say the default is
to build all targets, so we should be fine
- some pypi hashes: they were equivalent, just base16 vs. base32
This should make the composability of kernel configurations more straigthforward.
- now distinguish freeform options from tristate ones
- will look for a structured config in kernelPatches too
one can now access the structuredConfig from a kernel via linux_test.configfile.structuredConfig
in order to reinject it into another kernel, no need to rewrite the config from scratch
The following merge strategies are used in case of conflict:
-- freeform items must be equal or they conflict (mergeEqualOption)
-- for tristate (y/m/n) entries, I use the mergeAnswer strategy which takes the best available value, "best" being defined by the user (by default "y" > "m" > "n", e.g. if one entry is both marked "y" and "n", "y" wins)
-- if one item is both marked optional/mandatory, mandatory wins (mergeFalseByDefault)
This commit changes the `mkAliasOptionModule` function to make sure that
the priority for the aliased option is propagated to the non-aliased
option.
This also affects the `mkRenamedOptionModule` function in a similar
fashion.
This also removes the `mkAliasOptionModuleWithPriority` function, since
its functionality is now subsumed by `mkAliasOptionModule`.
This change was recommended by @nbp:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/53397#discussion_r245487432
Fake hashes can be used as placeholders for all the places, where
Nix expression requires a hash, but we don't yet have one.
This should be more convenient than following:
- echo|sha256sum, copy into clipboard, go to editor, paste into previously
edited place
- search nixpkgs for a random package, copy it's hash to cliboard, go to
editor, paste into previously edited place
Nix can add support for these fake hashes. In that case printed error should contain
only 1 hash, so no more problem "which of two hashes from error should I use?"
Idea by irc:Synthetica
* add generic x86_32 support
- Add support for i386-i586.
- Add `isx86_32` predicate that can replace most uses of `isi686`.
- `isi686` is reinterpreted to mean "exactly i686 arch, and not say i585 or i386".
- This branch was used to build working i586 kernel running on i586 hardware.
* revert `isi[345]86`, remove dead code
- Remove changes to dead code in `doubles.nix` and `for-meta.nix`.
- Remove `isi[345]86` predicates since other cpu families don't have specific model predicates.
* remove i386-linux since linux not supported on that cpu
This commit adds a function `mkAliasOptionModuleWithPriority`. This
function will make an alias to an existing option and copy over the
priority.
This functionality is needed for PRs like #53041. In that case
`nixos-generate-config` added an option to `hardware-configuration.nix`
with `mkDefault`. That option was then changed and an alias created for
the old name.
The end user should be able to set the non-alias option in their
`configuration.nix` and have everything work correctly. Without this
function, the priority for the option won't be copied over correctly
and the end-user will get a message saying they have the same option
set to two different values.

Suppose I have a Gemfile like this:
source "https://rubygems.org"
gem "actioncable"
gem "websocket-driver", group: :test
The gemset.nix generated by Bundix 2.4.1 will set ActionCable's groups
to [ "default" ], and websocket-driver's to [ "test" ]. This means that
the generated bundlerEnv wouldn't include websocket-driver unless the
test group was included, even though it's required by the default group.
This is arguably a bug in Bundix (websocket-driver's groups should
probably be [ "default" "test" ] or just [ "default" ]), but there's no
reason bundlerEnv should omit dependencies even given such an input --
it won't necessarily come from Bundix, and it would be good for
bundlerEnv to do the right thing.
To fix this, filterGemset is now a recursive function, that adds
dependencies of gems in the group to the filtered gemset until it
stabilises on the gems that match the required groups, and all of their
recursive dependencies.
eabihf is an abi that can be used with ARM architectures that support
the “hard float”. It should probably only be used with ARM32 when you
are absolutely sure your binaries will run on ARM systems with a FPU.
Also, add an example "armhf-embedded" to match the preexisting
arm-embedded system. qmk_firmware needs hard float in a few places, so
add them here to get that to work.
Fixes#51184
You can use stdenv.hostPlatform.emulator to get an executable that
runs cross-built binaries. This could be any emulator. For instance,
we use QEMU to emulate Linux targets and Wine to emulate Windows
targets. To work with qemu, we need to support custom targets.
I’ve reworked the cross tests in pkgs/test/cross to use this
functionality.
Also, I’ve used talloc to cross-execute with the emulator. There
appears to be a cross-execute for all waf builds. In the future, it
would be nice to set this for all waf builds.
Adds stdenv.hostPlatform.qemuArch attrbute to get the qemuArch for
each platform.

- respect libc’s incdir and libdir
- make non-unix systems single threaded
- set LIMITS_H_TEST to false for avr
- misc updates to support new libc’s
- use multilib with avr
For threads we want to use:
- posix on unix systems
- win32 on windows
- single on everything else
For avr:
- add library directories for avrlibc
- to disable relro and bind
- avr5 should have precedence over avr3 - otherwise gcc uses the wrong one
Documents functions in `lib.options` for docs generation with nixdoc.
The formatting change in the `mkOption` arguments is due to the way
`nixdoc` parses documentation comments on pattern arguments. It's not
ideal, but it works.
Documents functions in `lib.debug` for docs generation with nixdoc.
Note that type signatures and clearer descriptions are still missing
on some of these functions, but this is good enough for a first run.
Updates documentation comments with extra information for nixdoc[1]
compatibility.
Some documentation strings have additionally been reworded for
clarity.
"Faux types" are added where applicable, but some functions do things
that are not trivially representable in the type notation used so they
were ignored for this purpose.

This reverts commit 10addad603, reversing
changes made to 7786575c6c.
NixOS scripts should be kept in the NixOS source tree, not in
pkgs. Moving them around is just confusing and creates unnecessary
code/history churn.
The previous description "string" is misleading in the full options
manual pages; they are actually concatenated strings, with a specific
character.
The empty string version ("types.string") has been special-cased to
provide a better message.
