adce01a8d0 * When NIX_SHOW_STATS=1, show the amount of stack space consumed by
the Nix expression evaluator.

451dbf687f * nix-env now maintains meta info (from the `meta' derivation
attribute) about installed packages in user environments.  Thus, an
  operation like `nix-env -q --description' shows useful information
  not only on available packages but also on installed packages.

* nix-env now passes the entire manifest as an argument to the Nix
  expression of the user environment builder (not just a list of
  paths), so that in particular the user environment builder has
  access to the meta attributes.
  
* New operation `--set-flag' in nix-env to change meta info of
  installed packages.  This will be useful to pass per-package
  policies to the user environment builder (e.g., how to resolve
  collision or whether to disable a package (NIX-80)) or upgrade
  policies in nix-env (e.g., that a package should be "masked", that
  is, left untouched by upgrade actions).  Example:

  $ nix-env --set-flag enabled false ghc-6.4

b618fa6eb6 * computeStorePathForText: take the references into account when
computing the store path (NIX-77).  This is an important security
  property in multi-user Nix stores.

  Note that this changes the store paths of derivations (since the
  derivation aterms are added using addTextToStore), but not most
  outputs (unless they use builtins.toFile).

7349bd0176 New primitives:
* `sub' to subtract two numbers.
* `stringLength' to get the length of a string.
* `substring' to get a substring of a string.  These should be enough
  to allow most string operations to be expressed.

7dedbd896a * filterSource: pass strings to the predicate function instead of
paths.  Paths can have unexpected semantics.

71ceb1c161 * Handle multiple indirect symlinks when loading a Nix expression. 2007-01-15 14:50:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
e4b0666f8e * builtins.filterSource: pass the type of the file ("regular",
"directory", "symlink") as the second argument to the filter
  predicate.

f23dcdd603 * Canonicalise ASTs in `nix-instantiate --eval': remove position
info, sort attribute sets.

05879db628 * Memoize strict evaluation. 2007-01-13 15:41:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
5011588459 * printTermAsXML: treat derivations specially; emit an element
<derivation outPath=... drvPath=...> attrs </derivation>.  Only emit
  the attributes of any specific derivation only.  This prevents
  exponententially large XML output due to the absense of sharing.

792878af91 * Make printing an expression as XML interruptible. 2007-01-13 14:48:41 +00:00

1073b1780a * Remove debug message. 2006-12-13 14:29:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
a3e6415ba8 * New primop builtins.filterSource, which can be used to filter files
from a source directory.  All files for which a predicate function
  returns true are copied to the store.  Typical example is to leave
  out the .svn directory:

    stdenv.mkDerivation {
      ...
      src = builtins.filterSource
        (path: baseNameOf (toString path) != ".svn")
        ./source-dir;
      # as opposed to
      #   src = ./source-dir;
    }

  This is important because the .svn directory influences the hash in
  a rather unpredictable and variable way.

1a7e88bbd9 * New built-in function `builtins.attrNames' that returns the
names of the attributes in an attribute set.

9c9cdb06d0 * Remove SwitchToOriginalUser, we're not going to need it anymore. 2006-12-02 14:34:14 +00:00

fcd9900d74 * Replace read-only calls to addTextToStore. 2006-12-01 21:00:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
a824d58b56 * Merge addToStore and addToStoreFixed.
* addToStore now adds unconditionally, it doesn't use readOnlyMode.
  Read-only operation is up to the caller (who can call
  computeStorePathForPath).

6ecb840fd1 * Put building in the store API. 2006-11-30 18:02:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
e2ef5e07fd * Refactoring. There is now an abstract interface class StoreAPI
containing functions that operate on the Nix store.  One
  implementation is LocalStore, which operates on the Nix store
  directly.  The next step, to enable secure multi-user Nix, is to
  create a different implementation RemoteStore that talks to a
  privileged daemon process that uses LocalStore to perform the actual
  operations.

be1961c9f8 * toPath: should be the identity on paths. 2006-10-17 11:07:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
cba913c521 * dirOf: return a path if the argument is a path. 2006-10-17 11:05:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
cf705eaf78 * toString: don't copy paths. So toString can be used to pass
non-store paths to a builder.
2006-10-17 10:58:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
7de5fe2fc2 * Do the path check on the normal form. 2006-10-17 10:57:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
d7efd76394 * Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, string
concatenation and string coercion.  This was a big mess (see
  e.g. NIX-67).  Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they
  don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected.  The
  semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def).
  toString() and coerceToString() have been merged.

  Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a
  concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the
  formalisation of the meaning of a path).  So

    "foo " + ./bla

  evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo
  /path/to/current-dir/bla".  This prevents accidental impurities, and
  is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g.,
  `"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation.  (Here `bla' would be
  replaced by the output path of `bla'.)
2006-10-16 15:55:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
7d4567f2cc * Removed URIs from the evaluator (NIX-66). They are now just another
kind of notation for strings.
2006-10-11 21:59:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
0c4c5c2020 * Quick hack to fix NIX-67: evaluation result differing if the Nix
expression resides in the store.
2006-10-10 21:23:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
bd0c40e1e9 * import': unwrap the context. Necessary to make import (x + y)'
work, where x is a store path.
2006-10-10 15:07:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
5fd44654db * toXML: propagate the context to allow derivations to be used in the
argument.
2006-10-03 15:38:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
d20c3011a0 * toFile: added an additional argument to specify the store path
suffix, e.g., `builtins.toFile "builder.sh" "..."'.
* toFile: handle references to other files correctly.
2006-10-03 14:55:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
ac19b333b3 * Finally, a real "let" syntax: `let x = ...; ... z = ...; in ...'. 2006-10-02 15:52:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
7581cfdee4 * Hack for Bison 2.3 compatability. 2006-10-02 14:43:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
e347033f71 * The result of a concatenation with a derivation on the left-hand
side should be a path, I guess.
* Handle paths that are in the store but not direct children of the
  store directory.
* Ugh, hack to prevent double context wrapping.
2006-09-24 21:39:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
0e705391db * Primop `toPath' to convert a string to a path.
* Primop `pathExists' to check for path existence.
2006-09-24 18:23:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
e47e0c2dbe * Builtin function `getEnv' for getting environment variables. 2006-09-24 17:48:41 +00:00

df8873e14a * lessThan primitive for integer comparison. 2006-09-24 15:21:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
2ab4bc44c7 * Builtin function `add' to add integers.
* Put common test functions in tests/lang/lib.nix.
2006-09-22 15:29:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
d315210612 * Added a builtin function `isList' to test whether a value is a list.
With this primitive, a list-flattening function can be implemented
  (NIX-55, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-flatten.nix).
2006-09-22 14:55:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
c02a44183f * Builtin functions head' and tail' to return the head and tail of
list.  Useful for lots of things, such as implementing a fold
  function (see NIX-30, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-list.nix).
2006-09-22 14:46:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
8a1ab709a4 * New builtin functions builtins.{hasAttr, getAttr} to check for
attribute existence and to return an attribute from an attribute
  set, respectively.  Example: `hasAttr "foo" {foo = 1;}'.  They
  differ from the `?' and `.' operators in that the attribute name is
  an arbitrary expression.  (NIX-61)

marshalling code.
2006-09-04 21:36:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
75068e7d75 * Use a proper namespace.
* Optimise header file usage a bit.
* Compile the parser as C++.
2006-09-04 21:06:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
aab8812732 * Store the Nix libraries in ${libdir}/nix instead of ${libdir}. 2006-09-04 15:12:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
7974aae81c * New primop: builtins.toFile, which writes a string into the store
and returns its path.  This can be used to (for instance) write
  builders inside a Nix expression, e.g.,

  stdenv.mkDerivation {
    builder = "
      source $stdenv/setup
      ...
    ";
    ...
  }
2006-09-01 12:07:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
de90fdf908 * Allow "$" in strings as long as they are not followed by "{". (Too
bad flex doesn't have lexical restrictions, the current solution
  isn't quite right...)
2006-09-01 12:04:06 +00:00

f93f7b75be * Okay, that's a bit harder than expected. 2006-08-30 13:10:04 +00:00

3151bdea55 * Uninitialised variable. 2006-08-30 12:00:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
547b119f25 * Support singleton values and nested lists again in `args', but print
a warning.
2006-08-29 15:40:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
2132d9ddeb * Fix the ~ operator. 2006-08-29 15:29:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
1ec9f55741 * In toString, deal with nested lists properly (i.e., flatten them). 2006-08-28 21:47:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
1fca76870b * Removed processBinding, instead we now apply toString to all
derivation attributes to flatten them into strings.  This is
  possible since string can nowadays be wrapped in contexts that
  describe the derivations/sources referenced by the evaluation of the
  string.
2006-08-28 13:31:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
8a6080eb14 * Refactoring. 2006-08-26 16:48:01 +00:00

4b66cebe7b * Remove those storePath attribute sets, we don't need 'em. 2006-08-25 17:09:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
215ec2ddc6 * New primop __toXML (or builtins.toXML) to convert an expression to
an XML representation stored in a string.  This should be useful to
  pass structured information to builders.
2006-08-24 14:34:29 +00:00

Eelco Dolstra
9638f3f393 * Pass the autoArgs to findAlongAttrPath so that "nix-instantiate
foo.nix -A attr --arg name value" will work if (name, value) is
  needed in the evaluation leading up to "attr".
2006-08-23 16:20:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
b19cebc513 * Quotes. 2006-08-23 15:46:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
38f18aa6d4 * New primop: abort "error message". 2006-08-23 15:46:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
4a053bfdfd * A new primop `builtins', which returns an attribute set containing
all the primops.  This allows Nix expressions to test for new
  primops and take appropriate action if they're not available.  For
  instance, rather than calling a primop `foo' directly, they could
  say `if builtins ? foo then builtins.foo ... else ...'.
2006-08-23 14:39:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
2670642733 * Handle carriage returns. Fixes NIX-53. 2006-08-16 10:28:44 +00:00

1854f84e83 * Fix a few warnings. 2006-08-04 17:07:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
4661282fde * `nix-instantiate ... --arg NAME VALUE': allow arguments to be passed
to functions from the command line.
* nix-build: started removing backticks.
2006-07-28 16:03:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
c11839d7b2 * `nix-instantiate --print-args': print out the valid values for
functions arguments that have a domain.
2006-07-28 14:01:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
ca2238cf81 * Refactoring: get the selection path stuff out of getDerivations()
and put it into a separate function findAlongAttrPath().
2006-07-26 15:05:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
2317d8f671 * `nix-instantiate --print-args' prints out the arguments of a
top-level function.
2006-07-25 21:21:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
0e6dc72a7a * Applied rbroek's patch from the branch at
https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/repos/trace/buildfarm-control/trunk/ext/nix/,
  with some modifications.  This allows `nix-env -qa' to show the
  attribute path that can be used to unambiguously install a package
  using `nix-env -i -A'.  Example:

    $ nix-env -f top-level/all-packages.nix -qaA subversion xorg-server
    subversionWithJava  subversion-1.2.3
    subversion          subversion-1.3.2
    subversion14        subversion-1.4.0pre-rc1
    xorg.xorgserver     xorg-server-1.1.0
2006-07-25 16:40:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
7a3a5d1608 * When there is a domain check, we have to evaluate the argument.
Can't be lazy!
2006-07-24 16:49:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
f4c5531d92 * New language feature: domain checks, which check whether a function
argument has a valid value, i.e., is in a certain domain.  E.g.,

    { foo : [true false]
    , bar : ["a" "b" "c"]
    }: ...

  This previously could be done using assertions, but domain checks
  will allow the buildfarm to automatically extract the configuration
  space from functions.
2006-07-24 16:35:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
57751fdb55 * Refactoring to support domain checks. 2006-07-24 15:16:03 +00:00

Eelco Dolstra
b5988004d6 * Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41). 2006-05-12 11:47:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
9d72bf8835 * 64-bit compatibility fixes (for problems revealed by building on an Athlon
64 running 64-bit SUSE).  A patched ATerm library is required to run Nix
  succesfully.
2006-05-11 02:19:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
5cabd47394 * Allow function argument default values to refer to other arguments
of the function.  Implements NIX-45.
2006-05-08 12:52:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
310e605995 * Show evaluation stats when NIX_SHOW_STATS=1. 2006-05-08 10:00:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
0832956089 * Use the new ATermMap. 2006-05-04 12:21:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
d300b4383d * Optimise null-ary term builders. Also declare all term builder
functions as pure, which might improve performance a bit.
2006-05-02 21:58:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
68174bdc7d * Use a linked list of substitutions. This reduces the amount of
copying.
2006-05-02 21:39:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
c791e94aee * Removed a bunch of ATreverses. 2006-05-02 17:51:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
b52e711910 * Huge reduction in memory use (2/3 or so on large nix-env -qas
operations): share ATermMaps between DrvInfos.
2006-05-02 17:12:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
11ae2d1e7a * Memory reduction: replaced expensive calls to ATmakeApplList by
ATmakeApplArray, and got rid of ATreverse in substitute().
2006-05-02 14:07:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
dc719e6ba5 * Some preliminaries towards NIX-45. 2006-05-02 13:39:55 +00:00

922697c8b2 * Big speedup (factor > 2.5) in all nix-env operations that do actual
instantiation, e.g. "nix-env -i" and "nix-env -qas" (but not
  "nix-env -qa").  It turns out that many redundant calls to
  addToStore(path) were made, which reads and hashes the entire path.
  For instance, the bash bootstrap binary in Nixpkgs would be read and
  hashed many times.  As a result nix-env would spend around 92% of
  its time in the function sha256_block (according to callgrind).
  Some simple memoization fixes this.

6dca5c9099 * When obtaining derivations from Nix expressions, ignore all
expressions that cause an assertion failure (like `assert system ==
  "i686-linux"').  This allows all-packages.nix in Nixpkgs to be used
  on all platforms, even if some Nix expressions don't work on all
  platforms.

  Not sure if this is a good idea; it's a bit hacky.  In particular,
  due to laziness some derivations might appear in `nix-env -qa' but
  disappear in `nix-env -qas' or `nix-env -i'.

  path to A; e.g., relativise /a/b/c a/b/x/y => "../x/y".
2005-08-14 14:00:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
08c53923db * A primitive operation `dependencyClosure' to do automatic dependency
determination (e.g., finding the header files dependencies of a C
  file) in Nix low-level builds automatically.

  For instance, in the function `compileC' in make/lib/default.nix, we
  find the header file dependencies of C file `main' as follows:

    localIncludes =
      dependencyClosure {
        scanner = file:
          import (findIncludes {
            inherit file;
          });
        startSet = [main];
      };

  The function works by "growing" the set of dependencies, starting
  with the set `startSet', and calling the function `scanner' for each
  file to get its dependencies (which should yield a list of strings
  representing relative paths).  For instance, when `scanner' is
  called on a file `foo.c' that includes the line

    #include "../bar/fnord.h"

  then `scanner' should yield ["../bar/fnord.h"].  This list of
  dependencies is absolutised relative to the including file and added
  to the set of dependencies.  The process continues until no more
  dependencies are found (hence its a closure).

  `dependencyClosure' yields a list that contains in alternation a
  dependency, and its relative path to the directory of the start
  file, e.g.,

    [ /bla/bla/foo.c
      "foo.c"
      /bla/bar/fnord.h
      "../bar/fnord.h"
    ]

  These relative paths are necessary for the builder that compiles
  foo.c to reconstruct the relative directory structure expected by
  foo.c.

  The advantage of `dependencyClosure' over the old approach (using
  the impure `__currentTime') is that it's completely pure, and more
  efficient because it only rescans for dependencies (i.e., by
  building the derivations yielded by `scanner') if sources have
  actually changed.  The old approach rescanned every time.

77557a6f06 Commit 3000!
* Make the `derivation' primitive much more lazy.  The expression
  `derivation attrs' now evaluates to (essentially)

    attrs // {
      type = "derivation";
      outPath = derivation! attrs;
      drvPath = derivation! attrs;
    }

  where `derivation!' is a primop that does the actual derivation
  instantiation (i.e., it does what `derivation' used to do).  The
  advantage is that it allows commands such as `nix-env -qa' and
  `nix-env -i' to be much faster since they no longer need to
  instantiate all derivations, just the `name' attribute.  (However,
  `nix-env' doesn't yet take advantage of this since it still always
  evaluates the `outPath' and `drvPath' attributes).

  Also, this allows derivations to cyclically reference each other,
  for example,

    webServer = derivation {
      ...
      hostName = "svn.cs.uu.nl";
      services = [svnService];
    };

    svnService = derivation {
      ...
      hostName = webServer.hostName;
    };

  Previously, this would yield a black hole (infinite recursion).

863dcff6c5 * Started removing closure store expressions, i.e., the explicit
representation of closures as ATerms in the Nix store.  Instead, the
  file system pointer graph is now stored in the Nix database.  This
  has many advantages:

  - It greatly simplifies the implementation (we can drop the notion
    of `successors', and so on).

  - It makes registering roots for the garbage collector much easier.
    Instead of specifying the closure expression as a root, you can
    simply specify the store path that must be retained as a root.
    This could not be done previously, since there was no way to find
    the closure store expression containing a given store path.
    
  - Better traceability: it is now possible to query what paths are
    referenced by a path, and what paths refer to a path.

f3dc231250 * Removed the `id' attribute hack.
* Formalise the notion of fixed-output derivations, i.e., derivations
  for which a cryptographic hash of the output is known in advance.
  Changes to such derivations should not propagate upwards through the
  dependency graph.  Previously this was done by specifying the hash
  component of the output path through the `id' attribute, but this is
  insecure since you can lie about it (i.e., you can specify any hash
  and then produce a completely different output).  Now the
  responsibility for checking the output is moved from the builder to
  Nix itself.

  A fixed-output derivation can be created by specifying the
  `outputHash' and `outputHashAlgo' attributes, the latter taking
  values `md5', `sha1', and `sha256', and the former specifying the
  actual hash in hexadecimal or in base-32 (auto-detected by looking
  at the length of the attribute value).  MD5 is included for
  compatibility but should be considered deprecated.

* Removed the `drvPath' pseudo-attribute in derivation results.  It's
  no longer necessary.

* Cleaned up the support for multiple output paths in derivation store
  expressions.  Each output now has a unique identifier (e.g., `out',
  `devel', `docs').  Previously there was no way to tell output paths
  apart at the store expression level.

* `nix-hash' now has a flag `--base32' to specify that the hash should
  be printed in base-32 notation.

* `fetchurl' accepts parameters `sha256' and `sha1' in addition to
  `md5'.

* `nix-prefetch-url' now prints out a SHA-1 hash in base-32.  (TODO: a
  flag to specify the hash.)

Eelco Dolstra
d58a11e019 * Shorten SHA-256 hashes used in store path name generation to 160
bits, then encode them in a radix-32 representation (using digits
  and letters except e, o, u, and t).  This produces store paths like
  /nix/store/4i0zb0z7f88mwghjirkz702a71dcfivn-aterm-2.3.1.  The nice
  thing about this is that the hash part of the file name is still 32
  characters, as before with MD5.

  (Of course, shortening SHA-256 to 160 bits makes it no better than
  SHA-160 in theory, but hopefully it's a bit more resistant to
  attacks; it's certainly a lot slower.)

Eelco Dolstra
9530cc3170 * Start move towards SHA-256 hashes instead of MD5.
* Start cleaning up unique store path generation (they weren't always

  not part of the hash, therefore changes to the suffix would cause
  multiple store objects with the same hash).

The expression `with E1; E2' evaluates to E2 with all bindings in

  evaluates to 123.  That is, the attribute set E1 is in scope in E2.

  This is particularly useful when importing files containing lots
  definitions.  E.g., instead of

    let {
      inherit (import ./foo.nix) a b c d e f;

      body = ... a ... f ...;
    }

  we can now say

47f87072ad * A very dirty hack to make setuid installations a bit nicer to use.
Previously there was the problem that all files read by nix-env
  etc. should be reachable and readable by the Nix user.  So for
  instance building a Nix expression in your home directory meant that
  the home directory should have at least g+x or o+x permission so
  that the Nix user could reach the Nix expression.  Now we just
  switch back to the original user just prior to reading sources and
  the like.  The places where this happens are somewhat arbitrary,
  however.  Any scope that has a live SwitchToOriginalUser object in
  it is executed as the original user.

* Back out r1385.  setreuid() sets the saved uid to the new
  real/effective uid, which prevents us from switching back to the
  original uid.  setresuid() doesn't have this problem (although the
  manpage has a bug: specifying -1 for the saved uid doesn't leave it
  unchanged; an explicit value must be specified).

59b94ee18a * When something goes wrong in the evaluation of a Nix expression,
print a nice backtrace of the stack, rather than vomiting a gigantic
  (and useless) aterm on the screen.  Example:

    error: while evaluating file `.../pkgs/system/test.nix':
    while evaluating attribute `subversion' at `.../pkgs/system/all-packages-generic.nix', line 533:
    while evaluating function at `.../pkgs/applications/version-management/subversion/default.nix', line 1:
    assertion failed at `.../pkgs/applications/version-management/subversion/default.nix', line 13

  Since the Nix expression language is lazy, the trace may be
  misleading.  The purpose is to provide a hint as to the location of

c4ac2a164a * The recent change in nixpkgs of calling `stdenv.mkDerivation'
instead of `derivation' triggered a huge slowdown in the Nix
  expression evaluator.  Total execution time of `nix-env -qa' went up
  by a factor of 60 or so.

  This scalability problem was caused by expressions such as

    (x: y: ... x ...) a b

  where `a' is a large term (say, the one in
  `all-packages-generic.nix').  Then the first beta-reduction would
  produce

    (y: ... a ...) b

  by substituting `a' for `x'.  The second beta-reduction would then
  substitute `b' for `y' into the body `... a ...', which is a large
  term due to `a', and thus causes a large traversal to be performed
  by substitute() in the second reduction.  This is however entirely
  redundant, since `a' cannot contain free variables (since we never
  substitute below a weak head normal form).

  The solution is to wrap substituted terms into a `Closed'
  constructor, i.e.,

    subst(subs, Var(x)) = Closed(e) iff subs[x] = e

  have substitution not descent into closed terms,

    subst(subs, Closed(x)) = Closed(x)

  and otherwise ignore them for evaluation,

    eval(Closed(x)) = eval(x).

* Fix a typo that caused incorrect substitutions to be performed in
  simple lambdas, e.g., `(x: x: x) a' would reduce to `(x: a)'.

ac4d39f9db * Added an operator `?' to test for attribute existence, e.g.,
`attrs ? x' yields true iff `attrs' has an attribute named `x'.
2004-03-28 21:15:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
f958bcdf1f * Added an operator `~' to select paths within a derivation. E.g.,
{stdenv, bash}: derivation {
      builder = bash ~ /bin/sh;
      args = ["-e" "-x" ./builder.sh];
      ...
    }

  Here the attribute `builder' will evaluate to, e.g.,
  `/nix/store/1234abcd...-bash-2.0.1/bin/sh'.

db3e644c1c * Added plain lambdas, e.g., `let { id = x: x; const = x: y: x; }'.
`bla:' is now no longer parsed as a URL.

* Re-enabled support for the `args' attribute in derivations to
  specify command line arguments to the builder, e.g.,

    ...
    builder = /usr/bin/python;
    args = ["-c" ./builder.py];
    ...

d445da7a7b * Extended the `inherit' syntax to optionally select attributes from
other attribute sets, rather than the current scope.  E.g.,
  
    {inherit (pkgs) gcc binutils;}

  is equivalent to

    {gcc = pkgs.gcc; binutils = pkgs.binutils;}

  I am not so happy about the syntax.

9d25466b34 * An attribute set update operator (//). E.g.,

Eelco Dolstra
1c9c0a5a46 * Added syntactic sugar to the construction of attribute sets to
`inherit' variables from the surrounding lexical scope.

  E.g.,

    {stdenv, libfoo}: derivation {
      builder = ./bla;
      inherit stdenv libfoo;
      xyzzy = 1;
    }

  is equivalent to

    {stdenv, libfoo}: derivation {
      builder = ./bla;
      stdenv = stdenv;
      libfoo = libfoo;
      xyzzy = 1;
    }

  Note that for mutually recursive attribute set definitions (`rec
  {...}'), this also works, that is, `rec {inherit x;}' is equivalent
  to `let {fresh = x; body = rec {x = fresh;};}', *not*
  `rec {x = x}'.

c5baaafae6 * Replaced the SDF parser by a substantially faster Bison/Flex
parser (roughly 80x faster).

  The absolutely latest version of Bison (1.875c) is required for
  reentrant GLR support, as well as a recent version of Flex (say,
  2.5.31).  Note that most Unix distributions ship with the
  prehistoric Flex 2.5.4, which doesn't support reentrancy.

447089a5f6 * Catch SIGINT to terminate cleanly when the user tries to interrupt
Nix.  This is to prevent Berkeley DB from becoming wedged.

  Unfortunately it is not possible to throw C++ exceptions from a
  signal handler.  In fact, you can't do much of anything except
  change variables of type `volatile sig_atomic_t'.  So we set an
  interrupt flag in the signal handler and check it at various
  strategic locations in the code (by calling checkInterrupt()).
  Since this is unlikely to cover all cases (e.g., (semi-)infinite
  loops), sometimes SIGTERM may now be required to kill Nix.

4a373a3e9a * Implemented Eelco V.'s `nix-env -I' command to specify the default
path of the Nix expression to be used with the import, upgrade, and
  query commands.  For instance,

  $ nix-env -I ~/nixpkgs/pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix

  $ nix-env --query --available   [aka -qa]
  sylpheed-0.9.7
  bison-1.875
  pango-1.2.5
  subversion-0.35.1
  ...

  $ nix-env -i sylpheed

  $ nix-env -u subversion

  There can be only one default at a time.

* If the path to a Nix expression is a symlink, follow the symlink
  prior to resolving relative path references in the expression.
