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. |
