Eelco Dolstra bbe97dff8b Make the Store API more type-safe
Most functions now take a StorePath argument rather than a Path (which
is just an alias for std::string). The StorePath constructor ensures
that the path is syntactically correct (i.e. it looks like
<store-dir>/<base32-hash>-<name>). Similarly, functions like
buildPaths() now take a StorePathWithOutputs, rather than abusing Path
by adding a '!<outputs>' suffix.

Note that the StorePath type is implemented in Rust. This involves
some hackery to allow Rust values to be used directly in C++, via a
helper type whose destructor calls the Rust type's drop()
function. The main issue is the dynamic nature of C++ move semantics:
after we have moved a Rust value, we should not call the drop function
on the original value. So when we move a value, we set the original
value to bitwise zero, and the destructor only calls drop() if the
value is not bitwise zero. This should be sufficient for most types.

Also lots of minor cleanups to the C++ API to make it more modern
(e.g. using std::optional and std::string_view in some places).

nix-shell: Use bashInteractive from <nixpkgs>
This adds about 0.1s to nix-shell runtime in the case where
bashInteractive already exists.

getDerivations(): Filter out packages with bad derivation names
In particular, this disallows attribute names containing dots or
starting with dots. Hydra already disallowed these. This affects the
following packages in Nixpkgs master:

  2048-in-terminal
  2bwm
  389-ds-base
  90secondportraits
  lispPackages.3bmd
  lispPackages.hu.dwim.asdf
  lispPackages.hu.dwim.def

Closes #1342.

Eelco Dolstra 41633f9f73 Improved logging abstraction
This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't
useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the
"pretty" log type.

Eelco Dolstra b83801f8b3 Optimize small lists
The value pointers of lists with 1 or 2 elements are now stored in the

or (in XML mode)

  <item attrPath="openssl" name="openssl-1.0.0i" system="x86_64-linux">
    <output name="bin" path="/nix/store/gq2mvh0wb9l90djvsagln3aqywqmr6vl-openssl-1.0.0i-bin" />

Eelco Dolstra 70f75be199 getDerivation(): Don't always quietly ignore assertion failure
Ignoring assertion failures makes some sense for nix-env -qa, but not
for nix-instantiate/nix-build or hydra-eval-jobs.

Eelco Dolstra f491ae97d4 * Inline some functions and get rid of the indirection through
EvalState::eval().  This gives a 12% speedup on ‘nix-instantiate
  /etc/nixos/nixos/ -A system --readonly-mode’ (from 1.01s to 0.89s).
2012-02-04 13:50:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e0b7fb8f27 * Keep attribute sets in sorted order to speed up attribute lookups.
* Simplify the representation of attributes in the AST.
* Change the behaviour of listToAttrs() in case of duplicate names.
2010-10-24 19:52:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0b305c534f * Store attribute sets as a vector instead of a map (i.e. a red-black
tree).  This saves a lot of memory.  The vector should be sorted so
  that names can be looked up using binary search, but this is not the
  case yet.  (Surprisingly, looking up attributes using linear search
  doesn't have a big impact on performance.)

  Memory consumption for

    $ nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos/tests -A bittorrent.test --readonly-mode

  on x86_64-linux with GC enabled is now 185 MiB (compared to 946
  MiB on the trunk).
2010-10-24 00:41:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 41c45a9b31 * Store Value nodes outside of attribute sets. I.e., Attr now stores
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.
2010-10-22 14:47:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e2d5e40f4f * Keep track of the source positions of attributes. 2010-05-07 12:11:05 +00:00
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...)
2010-04-21 15:08:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 55b5ddd3ca * Added parsing of manifests in ATerm format. 2010-04-19 12:10:04 +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 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
Eelco Dolstra 4d6ad5be17 * Don't use ATerms for the abstract syntax trees anymore. Not
finished yet.

Eelco Dolstra 31428c3a06 * Started integrating the new evaluator. 2010-03-29 14:37:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 749dd97a54 * Support integers and lists of strings in meta fields. This is
useful for fields like meta.maintainers, meta.priority (which can be
  a proper integer now) and even meta.license (if there are multiple
  licenses).
