while checking the contents, since this operation can take a very
long time to finish. Also, fill in missing narSize fields in the DB
while doing this.
even with a very long busy timeout, because SQLITE_BUSY is also
returned to resolve deadlocks. This should get rid of random
"database is locked" errors. This is kind of hard to test though.
* Fix a horrible bug in deleteFromStore(): deletePathWrapped() should
be called after committing the transaction, not before, because the
commit might not succeed.
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).
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.
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.
race with other processes that add new referrers to a path,
resulting in the garbage collector crashing with "foreign key
constraint failed". (Nix/4)
* Make --gc --print-dead etc. interruptible.
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.
exception handler, otherwise throw an exception. We need to ignore
write errors in exception handlers to ensure that cleanup code runs
to completion if the other side of stderr has been closed
unexpectedly.
* If a path has disappeared, check its referrers first, and don't try
to invalidate paths that have valid referrers. Otherwise we get a
foreign key constraint violation.
* Read the whole Nix store directory instead of statting each valid
path, which is slower.
* Acquire the global GC lock.
hook script proper, and the stdout/stderr of the builder. Only the
latter should be saved in /nix/var/log/nix/drvs.
* Allow the verbosity to be set through an option.
* Added a flag --quiet to lower the verbosity level.
it requires a certain feature on the build machine, e.g.
requiredSystemFeatures = [ "kvm" ];
We need this in Hydra to make sure that builds that require KVM
support are forwarded to machines that have KVM support. Probably
this should also be enforced for local builds.
