d1f6c0cbe3 * Replacing ValidPath rows doesn't work because it causes a constraint
violation of the Refs table.  So don't do that.

07ca66cf24 * Applied a patch from David Brown to prevent `nix-store --optimise'
from failing on rename() on BtrFS.

a443c7573b * Hack to allow derivations to disable chroot builds by setting the
attribute "__noChroot = true" (requested by Rob).

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.

a0e3b84fac * Revert r15436. This was a workaround for a bug in btrfs which seems
to have been fixed now.

Eelco Dolstra
6199f9b93e * Added a command `nix-store --clear-failed-paths <PATHS>' to clear
the "failed" status of the given store paths.  The special value `*'
  clears all failed paths.
2010-04-26 12:56:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
2398af13c5 * Add an command `nix-store --query-failed-paths' to list the cached
failed paths (when using the `build-cache-failure' option).

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.
2010-04-22 09:54:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
6bbfe95e30 * Don't use an ostringstream in unparseDerivation(), because it's
slow.  A `nix-env -qa --drv-path \*' on Nixpkgs was spending 40% of
  its time in unparseDerivation() because of this (now 11%).

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...)

Eelco Dolstra
efc7a579e8 * Don't use the ATerm library for parsing/printing .drv files. 2010-04-19 13:46:58 +00:00

Eelco Dolstra
497e4ad126 * Remove some redundant tests. 2010-04-16 13:51:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
02c1dac909 * In an nested with' where the inner with is a variable (with ...;
with someVar; ...'), the contents of the variable would be
  clobbered.  (The attributes in the outer `with' were added to the
  variable.)
2010-04-16 13:44:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
04c4bd3624 * Store lists as lists of pointers to values rather than as lists of
values.  This improves sharing and gives another speed up.
  Evaluation of the NixOS system attribute is now almost 7 times
  faster than the old evaluator.
2010-04-15 00:37:36 +00:00

Eelco Dolstra
110d155778 * Implemented withs. 2010-04-14 15:01:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
9985230c00 * After parsing, compute level/displacement pairs for each variable
use site, allowing environments to be stores as vectors of values
  rather than maps.  This should speed up evaluation and reduce the
  number of allocations.
2010-04-14 14:42:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
816dd3f061 * Remove more obsolete code. 2010-04-14 12:49:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
011b5da0f4 * Get nix-env to compile again. 2010-04-14 09:39:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
85d13c8f93 * Change the semantics of "with" so that inner "withs" take
precedence, i.e. `with {x=1;}; with {x=2;}; x' evaluates to 2'.
  This has a simpler implementation and seems more natural.  There
  doesn't seem to be any code in Nixpkgs or NixOS that relies on the
  old behaviour.
2010-04-14 08:37:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
816f9c0f6f * Use std::tr1::unordered_set instead of std::set for the symbol
table.  This gives a 10% speed increase on `nix-instantiate
  /etc/nixos/nixos -A system --readonly-mode'.
2010-04-13 14:34:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
7d47498b5e * Evaluate lets directly (i.e. without desugaring to `rec { attrs...;
<let-body> = e; }.<let-body>).  This prevents the unnecessary
  allocation of an attribute set.
2010-04-13 13:42:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
ac1e8f40d4 * Use a symbol table to represent identifiers and attribute names
efficiently.  The symbol table ensures that there is only one copy
  of each symbol, thus allowing symbols to be compared efficiently
  using a pointer equality test.
2010-04-13 12:25:42 +00:00

finished yet.

aac5fcfbb5 Re-add drvPath' and outPath' attributes to <derivation> XML nodes.
This fixes a regression introduced in r20882 ("Add source location
information to the XML output.").

* src/libexpr/expr-to-xml.cc (nix::printTermAsXML): Dereference the
  attribute RHS from "drvPath" and "outPath".

b7b3dd55f9 * Remove a lot of dead code. 2010-04-08 11:41:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
7e048eddf5 * Fix blackholing. If evaluation fails due to an assertion failure,
then the blackhole has to be removed to ensure that repeated
  evaluation of the same value gives an assertion failure again rather
  than an "infinite recursion" error.
2010-04-08 11:25:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
af2a372bb0 * Update autoCallFunction() and findAlongAttrPath(). 2010-04-07 15:47:06 +00:00

9a64454faa * expr-to-xml -> value-to-xml. 2010-04-07 13:59:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
fc92244ba8 * Implemented the primops necessary for generating the NixOS manual. 2010-04-07 13:55:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
a353aef0b1 * In eval(), don't use the target value `v' as a temporary.
Overwriting `v' breaks when the expression evaluation to an
  assertion failure or throw.
2010-04-06 14:15:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
a5ece7d016 * Removed the `~' operator. 2010-04-01 16:59:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
c172274e17 * Quick hack to make coerceToString work more or less correctly on
nested lists.  `nix-instantiate' can now evaluate the NixOS system
  derivation attribute correctly (in 2.1s on my laptop vs. 6.2s for
  the trunk).
2010-04-01 14:35:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
7b851915bf * Improve sharing. 2010-04-01 12:04:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
95cc417d76 * Functions are incomparable. 2010-04-01 10:55:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
71f026292b * Make `derivation' lazy again for performance. It also turns out
that there are some places in Nixpkgs (php_configurable /
  composableDerivation, it seems) that call `derivation' with
  incorrect arguments (namely, the `name' attribute missing) but get
  away with it because of laziness.
2010-04-01 09:55:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
dc31305b38 * Fixed the trace primop and path comparison.
* Removed exprToString and stringToExpr because there is no ATerm
  representation to work on anymore (and exposing the internals of the
  evaluator like this is not a good idea anyway).
2010-03-31 20:09:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
979f163615 * Handle string contexts. `nix-instantiate' can now correctly compute
the `firefoxWrapper' attribute in Nixpkgs, and it's about 3 times
  faster than the trunk :-)
2010-03-31 19:52:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
d8cd3115d8 * Get nix-env to compile. 2010-03-31 19:12:08 +00:00

expressions.

Eelco Dolstra
3d94be61ea * Implemented derivations. 2010-03-31 15:38:03 +00:00
Ludovic Courtès
09381cccff Make source location info in the XML output optional.
* src/libexpr/expr-to-xml.cc (nix::showAttrs): Add `location'
  parameter.  Provide location XML attributes when it's true.  Update
  callers.
  (nix::printTermAsXML): Likewise.

* src/libexpr/expr-to-xml.hh (nix::printTermAsXML): Update prototype;
  have `location' default to `false'.

* src/nix-instantiate/nix-instantiate.cc (printResult, processExpr): Add
  `location' parameter; update callers.
  (run): Add support for `--no-location'.

* src/nix-instantiate/help.txt: Update accordingly.

* tests/lang.sh: Invoke `nix-instantiate' with `--no-location' for the
  XML tests.

* tests/lang/eval-okay-toxml.exp, tests/lang/eval-okay-to-xml.nix: New
  files.
2010-03-31 12:38:31 +00:00

Ludovic Courtès
471419d1fa Add source location information to the XML output.
* src/libexpr/expr-to-xml.cc (nix::showAttrs): Dereference the attribute
  RHS.  Add "path", "line", and "column" XML attributes to the node when
  source location information is available.
  (nix::printTermAsXML): Likewise for functions.
2010-03-31 08:29:05 +00:00

cad8726b2c * Implemented the ==' and !=' operators. These now use a deep

Eelco Dolstra
25eedf085d * Quick and dirty implementation of with'. with e1; e2' is
basically desugared to `let <with> = e1; e2', and `lookupVar' looks

  specified name.

Eelco Dolstra
8a10360c91 * Simplify @-patterns: only {attrs}@name' or name@{attrs}' are now
allowed.  So `name1@name2', `{attrs1}@{attrs2}' and so on are now no
  longer legal.  This is no big loss because they were not useful
  anyway.

  This also changes the output of builtins.toXML for @-patterns
  slightly.

Eelco Dolstra
a053d2d8e5 * Add the deriver to the ValidPaths table. In principle we could now

Eelco Dolstra
dbddac0fe9 * Assign an integer id to every row in the ValidPaths table in order
to make the Refs table more space-efficient.  For instance, this
  reduces the size of the database on my laptop from 93 MiB to 18
  MiB.  (It was 72 MiB with the old schema on an ext3 disk with a 1
  KiB block size.)

Eelco Dolstra
4e17be7981 * Revert r19797, and use a simpler solution: just don't monitor build
hooks for silence.  It's unnecessary because the remote nix-store
  command is already monitoring the real build.
2010-02-03 21:38:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
f859a8d3c3 * While waiting for a lock, print a sign of life every 5 minutes.
This prevents remote builders from being killed by the
  `max-silent-time' inactivity monitor while they are waiting for a
  long garbage collection to finish.  This happens fairly often in the
  Hydra build farm.
2010-02-03 21:22:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
4bbbe25802 * Remove most Cygwin-specific code. Cygwin 1.7 implements advisory
POSIX locks, and simulates Unix-style file deletion semantics
  sufficiently.  Note that this means that Nix won't work on Cygwin
  1.5 anymore.

fdcaf37361 * Made `nix-store -qR --include-outputs' much faster if there are

2010-01-25 16:04:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
f0c0277970 * On startup, set the default SIGCHLD handler. This is so that Nix

Eelco Dolstra
ef92a14bfe * Include config.h before the C library headers, because it defines
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64.  Without it, functions like stat() fail on
  large file sizes.  This happened with a Nix store on squashfs:

  $ nix-store --dump /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds > /dev/null
  error: getting attributes of path `/tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds': Value too large for defined data type

  $ stat /tmp/mnt/46wzqnk4cbdwh1dclhrpqnnz1icak6n7-local-net-cmds

  Size: 0               Blocks: 36028797018963968 IO Block: 1024   regular empty file

  (This is a bug in squashfs or mksquashfs, but it shouldn't cause Nix
  to fail.)

Eelco Dolstra
f9e766db98 * Randomise the order in which we delete entries to make the collector
less biased towards deleting paths that come alphabetically first

Eelco Dolstra
ae6bf87273 * `nix-store --gc --print-roots': also print the path of the actual
root symlink, not just its target.  E.g.:

  /nix/var/nix/profiles/system-99-link -> /nix/store/76kwf88657nq7wgk1hx3l1z5q91zb9wd-system
2009-11-23 17:23:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
c364d5d1e3 * Made the garbage collector a lot faster. It no longer computes the
complete set of live and dead paths before starting the actual
  deletion, but determines liveness on demand.  I.e. for any path in
  the store, it first tries to delete all the referrers, and then the
  path itself.  This means that the collector can start deleting paths
  almost immediately.
2009-11-23 16:34:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
8824d60fe5 * Remove the --use-atime / --max-atime garbage collector flags. Many
(Linux) machines no longer maintain the atime because it's too
  expensive, and on the machines where --use-atime is useful (like the
  buildfarm), reading the atimes on the entire Nix store takes way too
  much time to make it practical.
2009-11-20 17:12:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
327a232c85 * Remove support for old (before Nix 0.12pre12020) databases. 2009-11-06 01:15:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
8520542071 * When building in a chroot, make a copy of a file if hard-linking
fails.  This is likely to happen after a `nix-store --optimise',

deb342fb08 * builtins.trace: in the common case that the value is a string, then

0dbd4638e0 * Two primops: builtins.intersectAttrs and builtins.functionArgs.
intersectAttrs returns the (right-biased) intersection between two
  attribute sets, e.g. every attribute from the second set that also
  exists in the first.  functionArgs returns the set of attributes
  expected by a function.

  The main goal of these is to allow the elimination of most of
  all-packages.nix.  Most package instantiations in all-packages.nix
  have this form:

    foo = import ./foo.nix {
      inherit a b c;
    };

  With intersectAttrs and functionArgs, this can be written as:

    foo = callPackage (import ./foo.nix) { };

  where

   callPackage = f: args:
     f ((builtins.intersectAttrs (builtins.functionArgs f) pkgs) // args);

  I.e., foo.nix is called with all attributes from "pkgs" that it
  actually needs (e.g., pkgs.a, pkgs.b and pkgs.c).  (callPackage can
  do any other generic package-level stuff we might want, such as
  applying makeOverridable.)  Of course, the automatically supplied
  arguments can be overriden if needed, e.g.

    foo = callPackage (import ./foo.nix) {
      c = c_version_2;
    };

  but for the vast majority of packages, this won't be needed.

  The advantages are to reduce the amount of typing needed to add a
  dependency (from three sites to two), and to reduce the number of
  trivial commits to all-packages.nix.  For the former, there have
  been two previous attempts:

    - Use "args: with args;" in the package's function definition.
      This however obscures the actual expected arguments of a
      function, which is very bad.

    - Use "{ arg1, arg2, ... }:" in the package's function definition
      (i.e. use the ellipis "..." to allow arbitrary additional
      arguments), and then call the function with all of "pkgs" as an
      argument.  But this inhibits error detection if you call it with
      an misspelled (or obsolete) argument.

749dd97a54 * Support integers and lists of strings in meta fields. This is
useful for fields like meta.maintainers, meta.priority (which can be

Eelco Dolstra
f2c3fc5191 * Don't show trace information by default (`--show-trace' to enable).
NixOS evaluation errors in particular look intimidating and
  generally aren't very useful.  Ideally the builtins.throw messages
  should be self-contained.
2009-06-30 13:28:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
14bc3ce3d6 * Canonicalise timestamps in the Nix store to 1 (1970-01-01 00:00:01
UTC) rather than 0 (00:00:00).  1 is a better choice because some
  programs use 0 as a special value.  For instance, the Template
  Toolkit uses a timestamp of 0 to denote the non-existence of a file,
  so it barfs on files in the Nix store (see
  template-toolkit-nix-store.patch in Nixpkgs).  Similarly, Maya 2008
  fails to load script directories with a timestamp of 0 and can't be
  patched because it's closed source.

  This will also shut up those "implausibly old time stamp" GNU tar
  warnings.
2009-06-13 16:30:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
a64bbe049e * Change the scoping of "inherit (e) ..." in recs so that the
attributes of the rec are in scope of `e'.  This is useful in
  expressions such as

    rec {
      lib = import ./lib;
      inherit (lib) concatStrings;
    }

  It does change the semantics of expressions such as

    let x = {y = 1;}; in rec { x = {y = 2;}; inherit (x) y; }.y

  This now returns 2 instead of 1.  However, no code in Nixpkgs or
  NixOS seems to rely on the old behaviour.

d407d572fd * Some syntactic sugar for attribute sets: allow {x.y.z = ...;} as a
shorthand for {x = {y = {z = ...;};};}.  This is especially useful
  for NixOS configuration files, e.g.

    {
      services = {
        sshd = {
          enable = true;
          port = 2022;
        };
      };
    }

  can now be written as

    {
      services.sshd.enable = true;
      services.sshd.port = 2022;
    }

  However, it is currently not permitted to write
  
    {
      services.sshd = {enable = true;};
      services.sshd.port = 2022;
    }

  as this is considered a duplicate definition of `services.sshd'.

Eelco Dolstra
c34e6d71bc * Disallow equality tests between attribute sets. This was always
broken, but now the evaluator checks for it to prevent Nix
  expressions from relying on undefined behaviour.  Equality tests are
  implemented using a shallow pointer equality test between ATerms.
  However, because attribute sets are lazy and contain position
  information, this can give false positives.  For instance,
  previously

    let y = {x = 1;}; in y == y

  evaluated to true, while the equivalent expression

    {x = 1;} == {x = 1;}

  evaluated to false.  So disallow these tests for now.  (Eventually
  we may want to implement deep equality tests for attribute sets,
  like lib.eqStrict.)
  
* Idem: disallow comparisons between functions.

* Implemented deep comparisons of lists.  This had the same problem as
  attribute sets - the elements in the list weren't evaluated.  For
  instance,

    ["xy"] == [("x" + "y")]

  evaluated to false.  Now it works properly.

cacff1be88 * No longer block while waiting for a lock on a store path. Instead
poll for it (i.e. if we can't acquire the lock, then let the main
  select() loop wait for at most a few seconds and then try again).
  This improves parallelism: if two nix-store processes are both
  trying to build a path at the same time, the second one shouldn't
  block; it should first see if it can build other goals.  Also, it
  prevents the deadlocks that have been occuring in Hydra lately,
  where a process waits for a lock held by another process that's
  waiting for a lock held by the first.

  The downside is that polling isn't really elegant, but POSIX doesn't
  provide a way to wait for locks in a select() loop.  The only
  solution would be to spawn a thread for each lock to do a blocking
  fcntl() and then signal the main thread, but that would require
  pthreads.

2897286487 * Unify exportReferencesGraph and exportBuildReferencesGraph, and make

  might fail, for example).  This is ensured at instantiation time by

824b154ce8 * Release output locks as soon as possible, not when the destructor of
the DerivationGoal runs.  Otherwise, if a goal is a top-level goal,
  then the lock won't be released until nix-store finishes.  With
  --keep-going and lots of top-level goals, it's possible to run out
  of file descriptors (this happened sometimes in the build farm for
  Nixpkgs).  Also, for failed derivation, it won't be possible to
  build it again  until the lock is released.
  
* Idem for locks on build users: these weren't released in a timely
  manner for failed top-level derivation goals.  So if there were more
  than (say) 10 such failed builds, you would get an error about
  having run out of build users.

  creating a fake Nix store and creating bind-mounts or hard-links in
  the fake store for all paths in the closure.  After the build, the
  build output is moved from the fake store to the real store.  TODO:
  the chroot has to be on the same filesystem as the Nix store for
  this to work, but this isn't enforced yet.  (I.e. it only works

64519cfd65 * Unify the treatment of sources copied to the store, and recursive
SHA-256 outputs of fixed-output derivations.  I.e. they now produce
  the same store path:

  $ nix-store --add x
  /nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x

  $ nix-store --add-fixed --recursive sha256 x
  /nix/store/j2fq9qxvvxgqymvpszhs773ncci45xsj-x

  the latter being the same as the path that a derivation

    derivation {
      name = "x";
      outputHashAlgo = "sha256";
      outputHashMode = "recursive";
      outputHash = "...";
      ...
    };

  produces.

  This does change the output path for such fixed-output derivations.
  Fortunately they are quite rare.  The most common use is fetchsvn
  calls with SHA-256 hashes.  (There are a handful of those is
  Nixpkgs, mostly unstable development packages.)

7ab68961e4 * Garbage collector: added an option `--use-atime' to delete paths in
order of ascending last access time.  This is useful in conjunction
  with --max-freed or --max-links to prefer deleting non-recently used
  garbage, which is good (especially in the build farm) since garbage
  may become live again.

  The code could easily be modified to accept other criteria for
  ordering garbage by changing the comparison operator used by the
  priority queue in collectGarbage().

7933cdc6dc * When writing the user environment manifest, filter out non-string
attributes from the meta attribute.  Not doing so caused nix-env to
  barf on the "psi" package, which has a meta.function attribute,
  the textual serialisation of which causes a gigantic string to be
  produced --- so big that it causes nix-env to run out of memory.

  Note however that "meta" really only should contain strings.  
  meta.function should be passthru.function.

7718b19389 * Explicitly set PWD to prevent problems with chroot builds. In
particular, dietlibc cannot figure out the cwd because the inode of
  the current directory doesn't appear in .. (because getdents returns
  the inode of the mount point).

99dc3e613a * Require that __overrides is defined as a non-recursive attribute
(which means it can only be defined via "inherit"), otherwise we get
  scoping bugs, since __overrides can't be recursive (or at least, it
  would be hard).

d06be428f6 * Disable chroot builds for fixed-output derivations so that we don't
need /etc in the chroot (in particular, /etc/resolv.conf for
  fetchurl).  Not having /etc/resolv.conf in the chroot is a good
  thing, since we don't want normal derivations to download files.

b7ff182b6e Fixing an obvious typo in override code. I do not know whether it works correctly after the change, but at least it ca nbe compiled now. 2008-08-14 22:01:43 +00:00

ca07f3e370 * Another experimental feature: a way to truly override attributes in
a rec.  This will be very useful to allow end-user customisation of
  all-packages.nix, for instance globally overriding GCC or some other
  dependency.  The // operator doesn't cut it: you could replace the
  "gcc" attribute, but all other attributes would continue to
  reference the original value due to the substitution semantics of
  rec.

  The syntax is a bit hacky but this is to allow backwards
  compatibility.

9279174dde * Added an experimental feature suggested by Andres: ellipses ("...")
in attribute set pattern matches.  This allows defining a function
  that takes *at least* the listed attributes, while ignoring
  additional attributes.  For instance,

    {stdenv, fetchurl, fuse, ...}:
    
    stdenv.mkDerivation {
      ...
    };
    
  defines a function that requires an attribute set that contains the 
  specified attributes but ignores others.  The main advantage is that
  we can then write in all-packages.nix

    aefs = import ../bla/aefs pkgs;

  instead of

    aefs = import ../bla/aefs {
      inherit stdenv fetchurl fuse;
    };

  This saves a lot of typing (not to mention not having to update
  all-packages.nix with purely mechanical changes).  It saves as much
  typing as the "args: with args;" style, but has the advantage that
  the function arguments are properly declared (not implicit in what
  the body of the "with" uses).

1b962fc720 * @-patterns as in Haskell. For instance, in a function definition
f = args @ {x, y, z}: ...;

  `args' refers to the argument as a whole, which is further
  pattern-matched against the attribute set pattern {x, y, z}.

Eelco Dolstra
efe4b690ae * Refactoring: combine functions that take an attribute set and
functions that take a single argument (plain lambdas) into one AST
  node (Function) that contains a Pattern node describing the
  arguments.  Current patterns are single lazy arguments (VarPat) and
  matching against an attribute set (AttrsPat).

  This refactoring allows other kinds of patterns to be added easily,
  such as Haskell-style @-patterns, or list pattern matching.

339c142009 * Use optimistic profile locking for nix-env operations like `-i' and
`-u'.  Instead of acquiring an exclusive lock on the profile for the
  entire duration of the operation, we just perform the operation
  optimistically (without an exclusive lock), and check at the end
  whether the profile changed while we were busy (i.e., the symlink
  target changed).  If so, the operation is restarted.  Restarting is
  generally cheap, since the build results are still in the Nix store.
  Most of the time, only the user environment has to be rebuilt.
