nixos/modules: Add declarationPositions
What it does: line and column level *declaration* position information: $ nix repl . nix-repl> :p nixosConfigurations.micro.options.environment.systemPackages.declarationPositions [ { column = 7; file = "/nix/store/24aj3k7fgqv3ly7qkbf98qvphasrw9nb-source/nixos/modules/config/system-path.nix"; line = 63; } ] Use cases: - ctags over NixOS options, as will be presented at NixCon 2023 ;) - improving the documentation pages to go to the exact line of the declarations. Related work: - NixOS/nixpkgs#65024 This one does it for all *definitions* rather than declarations, and it was not followed through with due to performance worries. - NixOS/nixpkgs#208173 The basis for this change. This change is just a rebase of that one. I split it out to add the capability before adding users of it, in order to simplify review. However, the ctags script in there is a sample user of this feature. Benchmarks: conducted by evaluating my own reasonably complex NixOS configuration with the command: `hyperfine -S none -w 1 -- "nix eval .#nixosConfigurations.snowflake.config.system.build.toplevel.outPath"` ``` Benchmark 1: nix eval .#nixosConfigurations.snowflake.config.system.build.toplevel.outPath Time (mean ± σ): 8.971 s ± 0.254 s [User: 5.872 s, System: 1.388 s] Range (min … max): 8.574 s … 9.327 s 10 runs Benchmark 1: nix eval .#nixosConfigurations.snowflake.config.system.build.toplevel.outPath Time (mean ± σ): 8.766 s ± 0.160 s [User: 5.873 s, System: 1.346 s] Range (min … max): 8.496 s … 9.033 s 10 runs ``` Summary of results: it seems to be in the noise, this does not cause any visible regression in times.
