This should also fix:
nix-instantiate: ./../boost/shared_ptr.hpp:254: T* boost::shared_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T = nix::StoreAPI]: Assertion `px != 0' failed.
which was caused by hashDerivationModulo() calling the ‘store’
object (during store upgrades) before openStore() assigned it.
brackets, e.g.
import <nixpkgs/pkgs/lib>
are resolved by looking them up relative to the elements listed in
the search path. This allows us to get rid of hacks like
import "${builtins.getEnv "NIXPKGS_ALL"}/pkgs/lib"
The search path can be specified through the ‘-I’ command-line flag
and through the colon-separated ‘NIX_PATH’ environment variable,
e.g.,
$ nix-build -I /etc/nixos ...
If a file is not found in the search path, an error message is
lazily thrown.
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.
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.
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.
* 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.
