 just1602 | I gave it a shot and bump nixpkgs to 25.05 for the lix 2.92 branch: https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/4120 | 04:02:45 |
| just1602 | I hope it's gonna help until we get renovate to do all the heavy lifting for us :D | 04:03:33 |
 Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | So on 2.93.3 when I do nix flake metadata path:%00 it starts gobbling up all RAM. | 10:06:35 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | For context, I was doing URL cleanups in CppNix and added validation code for this sort of thing. That seems to be fucked everywhere. Percent encoded NUL bytes are a menace | 10:08:24 |
 helle (just a stray cat girl) | nul bytes in general are a menace, ouch | 10:09:16 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | I wonder what lix is doing here to gobble up gigabytes of ram in seconds | 10:09:39 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Nix just crashes with a stack overflow | 10:09:54 |
| helle (just a stray cat girl) | I have my suspicions | 10:10:01 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Coroutine stack frames it seems | 10:11:12 |
| helle (just a stray cat girl) | either stack or indefinitely growing the output array due to a lack of correct termination of the decode | 10:11:43 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Hm yeah seems to be growing a std::string in list called from dumpSingle | 10:19:00 |

| piegames | Oh wait that's an URL encoding | 13:31:01 |

Oh wait that's an URL encoding tomayto, tomahto | 13:34:30 |
| piegames | Dunno, it's just that I forgot Nix uses URLs for Flakes here, so I was bracing for yet another ad-hoc escaping mechanism (the ones within the language are not well designed) | 13:39:02 |
 aloisw | There are also other places where shitty URL parsers that don't handle percent-encoding properly are used, for example the remote builders. | 15:22:44 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | In lix maybe, don't imagine this code was touched much since 2.18 | 16:10:24 |
| aloisw | Are you saying this is fixed in nix? | 16:48:32 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | Not entirely, but it's starting to look less scuffed now. Final beast to defeat is the invalid %2F decoding into /, which completely changes the meaning of flake references. | 16:54:37 |
| Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium) | That stuff should round-trip, but doesn't | 16:55:27 |
 tea | https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/13708 has pretty neat performance gains, not sure about the tradeoffs involved. | 17:58:43 |
