説明

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Symlinks in nixpkgs lib.fileset are causing issues: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/393845 and this function would help resolve it.

Proposed solution

Add a a builtins.canonicalPath with the same behavior as the realpath command, as suggested by @infinisil .

Alternative solutions

Additional context

Possibly somewhat related: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/2109 (but this feature request would only expose a new nix function, not change anything else inside the nixcpp code itself.
