86cbd93ec1 * nix-env --switch-generation / --list-generations /
--delete-generations: lock the profile to prevent (extremely
  unlikely) race conditions.

5c38c863bd * Fix a huge gaping hole in nix-env w.r.t. the garbage collector.
Nix-env failed to call addPermRoot(), which is necessary to safely
  add a new root.  So if nix-env started after and finished before the
  garbage collector, the user environment (plus all other new stuff)
  it built might be garbage collected, leading to a dangling symlink
  chain in ~/.nix-profile...

* Be more explicit if we block on the GC lock ("waiting for the big
  garbage collector lock...").

* Don't loop trying to create a new generation.  It's not necessary
  anymore since profiles are locked nowadays.

bafc1690fc * Move setuid stuff to libutil.
* Install libexpr header files.

e5a6c09b12 * Install header files in /nix/include/nix. 2006-09-04 22:41:36 +00:00

4be5443882 * Remove unnecessary inclusions of aterm2.h. 2006-09-04 22:08:40 +00:00

2382a729e0 * Don't need extern "C". 2006-09-04 21:50:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
e3ce954582 * Compile the lexer as C++ code. Remove all the redundant C/C++
marshalling code.

Eelco Dolstra
75068e7d75 * Use a proper namespace.
* Optimise header file usage a bit.
* Compile the parser as C++.

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...)

c25f688e23 * Doh! Doh! Doh! 2006-08-31 15:38:43 +00:00

354d58b3d7 * Better error checking. 2006-08-31 11:40:39 +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.

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.

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
3e8dccf6ab * Escape newlines in XML attributes to prevent them from being
normalised away.
2006-08-24 15:02:39 +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.

da25d80152 * Strict evaluation and XML printing of lists. 2006-08-24 14:03:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
943ab38a0d * Refactoring: move strictEval to libexpr. 2006-08-24 13:39:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
f41297fdce * Allow --arg in nix-env as well, example:
$ nix-env -qa --system-filter \* --arg system '"powerpc-darwin"'

  to override the system from the default value (__currentSystem in
  all-packages.nix).
2006-08-23 16:33:21 +00:00

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".

b19cebc513 * Quotes. 2006-08-23 15:46:27 +00:00

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 ...'.

24e234a2fa * Print attributes in sorted order, rather than the arbitrary order
produced by ATermMap.  Necessary for testing.
* `--strict' should also work on stdin.
2006-08-17 08:53:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
22ba63df16 * More XML output. `--strict' to strictly evaluate attribute sets and
so on.
* Removed `--print-args', it's subsumed by `--eval-only --xml'.
2006-08-16 21:59:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
18e4ac0fc6 * `nix-instantiate --{eval|parse}-only --xml': print an XML
representation instead of an ATerm.
* Indent XML output.

2670642733 * Handle carriage returns. Fixes NIX-53. 2006-08-16 10:28:44 +00:00
Martin Bravenboer
3e5b68068b On cygwin, disable the check that the output is not group or world
writable. File permissions on Cygwin are rather complex, and in this
case this check introduced a problem with build jobs invoke from
outside of Cygwin (MSYS). It seemed almost impossible to fix the
permissions of the directory, so for now this safety check is disabled
on Cygwin.

4250b641d8 * `nix-store --gc --print-dead': print the total size of the store
objects that would be freed.

92f7dfa5b7 * Don't assume that paths returned by the runtime root finder are
valid.

d19b6521fc * New configuration setting `build-max-jobs' which sets the default
for the `-j' flag (i.e., the maximum number of jobs to execute in
  parallel).  Useful on multi-processor machines.
