* Allow empty argument lists in function definitions (e.g., `{}:
...
bla'). Also allow trailing commas (`{x, y,}: ...') as a unintented
consequence. Hopefully the reduce/reduce conflict won't cause any
problems.

New primitives:
...
* `sub' to subtract two numbers.
* `stringLength' to get the length of a string.
* `substring' to get a substring of a string. These should be enough
to allow most string operations to be expressed.

names of the attributes in an attribute set.

kind of notation for strings.

* Added a builtin function `isList' to test whether a value is a list.
...
With this primitive, a list-flattening function can be implemented
(NIX-55, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-flatten.nix).

* Builtin functions head' and
tail' to return the head and tail of
...
list. Useful for lots of things, such as implementing a fold
function (see NIX-30, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-list.nix).
2006-09-22 14:46:36 +00:00

* New builtin functions builtins.{hasAttr, getAttr} to check for
...
attribute existence and to return an attribute from an attribute
set, respectively. Example: `hasAttr "foo" {foo = 1;}'. They
differ from the `?' and `.' operators in that the attribute name is
an arbitrary expression. (NIX-61)

* 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...)

evaluate its arguments.

* 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.

* New primop: abort "error message".

* 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 ...'.

* New language feature: domain checks, which check whether a function
...
argument has a valid value, i.e., is in a certain domain. E.g.,
{ foo : [true false]
, bar : ["a" "b" "c"]
}: ...
This previously could be done using assertions, but domain checks
will allow the buildfarm to automatically extract the configuration
space from functions.

* String interpolation. Expressions like
...
"--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib"
can now be written as
"--with-freetype2-library=${freetype}/lib"
An arbitrary expression can be enclosed within ${...}, not just
identifiers.
* Escaping in string literals: \n, \r, \t interpreted as in C, any
other character following \ is interpreted as-is.
* Newlines are now allowed in string literals.
2006-05-01 14:01:47 +00:00

* Added a primop `removeAttrs' to remove attributes from a set, e.g.,
...
`removeAttrs attrs ["x", "y"]' returns the set `attrs' with the
attributes named `x' and `y' removed. It is not an error for the
named attributes to be missing from the input set.
