Keep splitting libcmd headers & files #7748

Ericson2314 · 2023-02-04T04:06:46Z

Motivation

More splitting things up for tidiness and/or NixOS/rfcs#134 sake.

Each commit can be understood in isolation:

Split out `InstallableFlake` and `InstallableAttrPath`

Picking up where #7744 left off.

Slight cleanup of `InstallablesCommand::load`

See comments below, just removing dead code and deduplicate branches.

Split out `CmdRepl` and `editorFor`

The REPL itself and the nix repl CLI are conceptually different things, and thus deserve to be in different files.

I also think libcmd should have the infrastructure for making the commands, but not the commands themselves. CmdRepl, previously there, not back inside the Nix binary with the other commands, would be one of those "commands themselves".

An existing "obvious home" for editorFor didn't pop into my mind, so I just gave it its own header and file.

Context

Depends on #7744, see the PR's context for additional information.

Oh oops sorry this snuck in here. Clang build temp files like this, which I noticed when I started developing with clang, and so I added this line while working. They are deleted by Clang after the build is complete, but if you run git status while a build is in progress (say in another terminal), they clutter the output.

I had meant to PR this separately; let me know if I still should.

Since _installables is empty, this is the same as return _installables; below.

This layer violation is no longer needed after moving these things around.

The issue was the #include "repl.md", which was left behind in src/nix not moved to src/libcmd. It could of been moved over, but this PR solves it by moving (the CmdRepl part of) repl.cc back.

Discussed on the Nix team meeting:

@tomberek: lots of changes, would be comfortable with having more eyes on it

refactoring is just like transformation into a different coordinate frame where the desired user-facing change is small
@edolstra: move of the REPL into the header is questionable. the problem is, C++ being what it is, it leaks half of the implementation into the interface
- (some discussion about how to wire up the REPL)
- otherwise looks good
@edolstra: add an abstract REPL class to keep the header small

The REPL itself and the `nix repl` CLI are conceptually different things, and thus deserve to be in different files.

I know how to fix the first, I guess I will try to do a binfmt misc qemu GDB for the second.

Ericson2314 · 2023-02-21T14:55:50Z

The aarch64-linux failure is not due to this but instead #6538
