538b7caab0 * Don't allocate a big initial GC address space on machines with 
little RAM.  Even if the memory isn't actually used, it can cause
  problems with the overcommit heuristics in the kernel.  So use a VM
  space of 25% of RAM, up to 384 MB.

5a6b039802 * Don't call GC_expand_hp unless we're actually using the garbage 
collector.

f1462c208b Use $BDW_GC_LIBS instead of a custom variable. 2011-02-09 21:23:13 +00:00

9db190eb31 * builtins.substring: if "start" is beyond the end of the string, 
return the empty string.

812fae424e * DrvInfo contains pointers to expressions, so DrvInfos should be 
traced by the garbage collector.  Otherwise "nix-env -u" can crash
  randomly.

0c4828ea05 * new(UseGC) is inexplicably slower than GC_MALLOC, so prefer the 
latter.

43535499f3 * When allocating an attribute set, reserve enough space for all 
elements.  This prevents the vector from having to resize itself.

e0b7fb8f27 * Keep attribute sets in sorted order to speed up attribute lookups. 
* Simplify the representation of attributes in the AST.
* Change the behaviour of listToAttrs() in case of duplicate names.

Eelco Dolstra
2dc6d50941 * Don't create thunks for variable lookups (if possible). This 
significantly reduces the number of values allocated (e.g. from 8.7m
  to 4.9m for the Bittorrent test).
 2010-10-24 14:20:02 +00:00

0b305c534f * Store attribute sets as a vector instead of a map (i.e. a red-black 
tree).  This saves a lot of memory.  The vector should be sorted so
  that names can be looked up using binary search, but this is not the
  case yet.  (Surprisingly, looking up attributes using linear search
  doesn't have a big impact on performance.)

  Memory consumption for

    $ nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos/tests -A bittorrent.test --readonly-mode

  on x86_64-linux with GC enabled is now 185 MiB (compared to 946
  MiB on the trunk).

b2ba62170c * Optimise string constants by putting them in the symbol table. 2010-10-23 21:11:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
8ac06726b9 * Make Value smaller by not storing redundant PrimOp info. 
* Clear pointers in Values after overwriting them to make sure that no
  objects are kept alive unnecessarily.

3f66cfb96b * Remove allocValues(). 2010-10-23 18:18:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
4dee289550 * In environments, store pointers to values rather than values. This 
improves GC effectiveness a bit more (because a live value doesn't
  keep other values in the environment plus the parent environments
  alive), and removes the need for copy nodes.
 2010-10-22 15:51:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
41c45a9b31 * Store Value nodes outside of attribute sets. I.e., Attr now stores 
a pointer to a Value, rather than the Value directly.  This improves
  the effectiveness of garbage collection a lot: if the Value is
  stored inside the set directly, then any live pointer to the Value
  causes all other attributes in the set to be live as well.

64c3325b0b * Make building against the Boehm GC a configure option. 2010-10-22 13:39:15 +00:00

76feaf016a * Keep some more stats. 2010-10-20 15:48:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
e879a0371b * Use the Boehm garbage collector to reclaim unused memory in the Nix 
expression evaluator.
 2010-10-20 11:38:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
705868a8a9 * Make sure that config.h is included before the system headers, 
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.

* Remove the redundant call to stat() in parseExprFromFile().
  The file cannot be a symlink because that's the exit condition
  of the loop before.

95f4f2cf61 * If std::tr1::unordered_set is unavailable, use std::set. 2010-10-04 16:16:19 +00:00

4aa9245083 * Hack needed for GCC 4.3.2 on OpenSolaris. 2010-10-04 10:51:16 +00:00

df50916e46 * Oops - "null" was displayed as "true". 2010-08-27 12:10:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
6d6200f37a * Optimisation in the // operator: if one of the sets is empty, return 
the other set.
 2010-08-02 16:31:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
7af6a2fd71 * intersectAttrs: optimise for the case where the second set is larger 
than the first set.  (That's usually the case with callPackage.)
 2010-08-02 11:54:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
f16fe2af8d * builtins.toXML: propagate the string context. This is a regression 
from the old ATerm-based evaluator.

93cd5a4a13 * The << operator on values should be const. 2010-05-18 10:36:37 +00:00

b2235d81d1 * Restore the __overrides feature that was lost somewhere in the 
fast-eval branch.

bd25ac2260 * Print attributes in sorted order. 2010-05-12 12:15:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
81a4b4e49b * Implemented tryEval, the last missing primop in the fast-eval 
branch.  Also added a test for tryEval.

e2d5e40f4f * Keep track of the source positions of attributes. 2010-05-07 12:11:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
84ce7ac76f * Store attribute positions in the AST and report duplicate attribute 
errors with position info.
* For all positions, use the position of the first character of the
  first token, rather than the last character of the first token plus
  one.

Eelco Dolstra
0bc468f195 * Simplify the implementation of `with'. This gives a 7% speedup in 
evaluating the NixOS system configuration.
 2010-04-22 15:08:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
ebade9ff8b * Check for duplicate attribute names / function arguments. `make 
check' now succeeds :-)
* An attribute set such as `{ foo = { enable = true; };
  foo.port = 23; }' now parses.  It was previously rejected, but I'm
  too lazy to implement the check.  (The only reason to reject it is
  that the reverse, `{ foo.port = 23; foo = { enable = true; }; }', is
  rejected, which is kind of ugly.)
 2010-04-22 11:02:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
2d7636529f * String equality tests should take the context into account. All the 
evaluation test cases now succeed.

0777448ca6 * Fixed builtins.genericClosure. 2010-04-21 15:57:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
fe2d869e04 * Store user environment manifests as a Nix expression in 
$out/manifest.nix rather than as an ATerm.

  (Hm, I thought I committed this two days ago...)
