Todo List

Member nix::AddCompletions::setType (Type type)=0

it should not be possible to change the type after it has been set.

Member nix::Args::parent

this would probably be better in the CommandClass. getRoot() could be an abstract method that peels off at most one layer before recuring.

Member nix::BuildResult::errorMsg

This should be an entire ErrorInfo object, not just a string, for richer information.

Member nix::Constant::type

we should use an enum for this.

Member nix::ExtraPathInfoValue::Value::extendedOutputsSpec

merge with DerivedPath's 'outputs' field?

Struct nix::GcStore

actually this is not so good because stores are views. Some views have only a no-op temp roots even though others to the same store allow triggering GC. For instance one can't add a root over ssh, but that doesn't prevent someone from gc-ing that store accesed via SSH locally).

Member nix::Generation::path

Use StorePath instead of Path?

Member nix::HttpBinaryCacheStore::isTrustedClient () override

try to expose our HTTP authentication status.

Member nix::Installable::getStorePath ()

should we move this to InstallableDerivedPath? It is only supposed to work there anyways. Can always downcast.

Member nix::LocalDerivationGoal::makeFallbackPath (OutputNameView outputName)

Add option to randomize, so we can audit whether our rewrites caught everything

Struct nix::NARParseVisitor

Fix this API, it sucks. A visitor for NAR parsing that performs filesystem (or virtual-filesystem) actions to restore a NAR.

Member nix::Nothing

currently unused, but could be revived if we can evaluate derivations in-memory.

Member nix::operator<< (Sink &sink, ServeProto::Command op)

Switch to using ServeProto::Serialize instead probably. But this was not done at this time so there would be less churn.

Member nix::operator<< (std::ostream &s, ServeProto::Command op)

Perhaps render known opcodes more nicely.

Member nix::operator<< (Sink &sink, WorkerProto::Op op)

Switch to using WorkerProto::Serialise instead probably. But this was not done at this time so there would be less churn.

Member nix::operator<< (std::ostream &s, WorkerProto::Op op)

Perhaps render known opcodes more nicely.

Class nix::RemoteStore

RemoteStore is a misnomer - should be something like DaemonStore.

Member nix::SearchPath::Path::s

Maybe change this to std::variant<SourcePath, URL>.

Member nix::SearchPath::Prefix::s

Should we normalize this when constructing a SearchPath::Prefix?

Member nix::ServeProto::Version

Convert to struct with separate major vs minor fields.

Member nix::Store::addToStoreFromDump (AsyncInputStream &dump, std::string_view name, FileIngestionMethod method=FileIngestionMethod::Recursive, HashType hashAlgo=HashType::SHA256, RepairFlag repair=NoRepair, const StorePathSet &references=StorePathSet())

remove?

Member nix::Store::parseStorePathSet (const PathSet &paths) const

remove

Member nix::Store::unsupported (const std::string &op)

Using this should be a last resort. It is better to make the method "virtual pure" and/or move it to a subclass.

Member nix::ThreadPool::work_t

use std::packaged_task?

Member nix::UnkeyedValidPathInfo::narHash

document this

Member nix::WorkerProto::Version

Convert to struct with separate major vs minor fields.
