Ludo reported this error:
unexpected Nix daemon error: boost::too_few_args: format-string refered to more arguments than were passed
coming from this line:
printMsg(lvlError, run.program + ": " + string(err, 0, p));
The problem here is that the string ends up implicitly converted to a
Boost format() object, so % characters are treated specially. I
always assumed (wrongly) that strings are converted to a format object
that outputs the string as-is.
Since this assumption appears in several places that may be hard to
grep for, I've added some C++ type hackery to ensures that the right
thing happens. So you don't have to worry about % in statements like
printMsg(lvlError, "foo: " + s);
or
throw Error("foo: " + s);
"config.h" must be included first, because otherwise the compiler
might not see the right value of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. We've had this
before; see 705868a8a9. In this case,
GCC would compute a different address for ‘settings.useSubstitutes’ in
misc.cc because of the off_t in ‘settings’.

because it defines _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. Without this, on
OpenSolaris the system headers define it to be 32, and then
the 32-bit stat() ends up being called with a 64-bit "struct
stat", or vice versa.
This also ensures that we get 64-bit file sizes everywhere.

need any info on substitutable paths, we just call the substituters
(such as download-using-manifests.pl) directly. This means that
it's no longer necessary for nix-pull to register substitutes or for
nix-channel to clear them, which makes those operations much faster
(NIX-95). Also, we don't have to worry about keeping nix-pull
manifests (in /nix/var/nix/manifests) and the database in sync with
each other.
The downside is that there is some overhead in calling an external
program to get the substitutes info. For instance, "nix-env -qas"
takes a bit longer.
Abolishing the substitutes table also makes the logic in
local-store.cc simpler, as we don't need to store info for invalid
paths. On the downside, you cannot do things like "nix-store -qR"
on a substitutable but invalid path (but nobody did that anyway).
