Eelco Dolstra 9898746ef3 * nix-env: a tool to manage user environments.
* Replace all directory reading code by a generic readDirectory()
  function.
2003-11-19 17:27:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fd7ac09f10 * Refactoring (step 2). 2003-11-19 12:03:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ac68840e79 * Refactoring: put the Nix expression evaluator in its own library so
that it can be used by multiple programs.
2003-11-19 11:35:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2be8b5917a * Use `sdftable -s' to get warnings about the grammar.
* Several bug fixes in the grammar.
* Allow one-line comments (#... and //...) to end in EOF.
2003-11-19 10:04:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dfc9c64ead * "Fix expression" -> "Nix expression".
* More refactoring.
2003-11-18 12:06:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b1117ef29d * nix -> nix-store, fix -> nix-instantiate. 2003-11-18 11:38:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ce92d1bf14 * "Nix expression" -> "store expression".
* More refactoring.
2003-11-18 11:22:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9f0f020929 * libnix -> libstore. 2003-11-18 10:55:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8798fae304 * Source tree refactoring. 2003-11-18 10:47:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 45610ae675 * An forward non-random access input iterator class for ATermLists. 2003-11-16 18:31:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3e5a019a07 * Some utility functions for working with ATerms. 2003-11-16 17:46:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 06ae269c7c * Do not filter when parsing. This is much faster.
* Add some rejections and lexical restrictions to the grammar to make
  this work.
2003-11-10 11:00:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 15801c88fa * Turned the msg() and debug() functions into macros, since they
turned out to be a huge performance bottleneck (the text to printed
  would always be evaluated, even when it was above the verbosity
  level).  This reduces fix-ng execution time by over 50%.

  gprof(1) is very useful. :-)
2003-11-09 10:35:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 90e26d392c * Allow null in derivation bindings. 2003-11-06 15:24:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cfaea07444 * `null' is a nullary primop. 2003-11-06 14:41:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 569e7940f8 * Allow `+' in path names. 2003-11-06 14:41:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fa18f1f184 * Assertions.
* Logical operators (!, &&, ||, ->).
2003-11-05 16:27:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e17e95a828 * Print a shared textual ATerm if the term if very large. Due to
substitutions, Fix terms are very large when printed as trees (in 
  memory, they are quite compact due to sharing).
2003-11-05 16:20:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 80bb477cc4 * Default function arguments. 2003-11-05 15:34:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0690c1c9c0 * Work around problems with the ATerm library.
The ATerm library doesn't search the heap for pointers to ATerms
  when garbage collecting.  As a result, C++ containers such as
  `map<ATerm, ATerm>' will cause pointer to be hidden from the garbage
  collector, causing crashes.  Instead, we now use ATermTables.
2003-11-03 20:30:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ff31324278 * Ignore options passed to the aterm library. 2003-11-03 18:21:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e2655aa332 * Shorter list syntax ([a b c] instead of [a, b, c]). 2003-11-03 11:59:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ad0976f8d5 * Grammar changes. Attributes in attribute sets are now delimited with
semicolons instead of comma's.  Final semicolon in the set is optional.
2003-11-03 10:21:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 40986312bb * Boolean constants. 2003-11-02 17:36:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra adf9a45469 * Primops: baseNameOf, toString. 2003-11-02 16:31:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c8268ca991 * Fast builds. 2003-11-01 23:29:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7de1b2a698 * Print the exit code of the builder. 2003-11-01 21:11:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1610444671 * Conditions, string equality. 2003-11-01 19:15:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1b4184ccbb * Let syntax. 2003-11-01 19:10:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a2a9bacd82 * Filter the substitution list when descending into a recursive
attribute set.
2003-11-01 19:10:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9210d4d530 * Working evaluator.
* Mutually recursive attribute sets.
* Print evaluator efficiency statistics.
2003-10-31 17:09:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f1c1a3c97f * Allow empty attribute (argument) sets. 2003-10-31 12:21:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7db08cc924 * Use SGparseString() instead of SGparseFile() because the latter is
buggy.  It fails to clear an internal variable (SG_textIndex)
  between invocations, so it can be called only once during a program
  execution.
2003-10-31 11:22:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 403cb9327f * Factor out evaluation into a separate file. 2003-10-30 16:48:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9f8f39aa3c * Clean up the imploded parse tree. Quotes around strings are
removed, paths are absolutised relative to the path containing the
  expression we just parsed, and integer literals are converted to
  actual integers.
2003-10-30 16:18:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e537844f4e * Bottomup rewrite function. 2003-10-30 16:11:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 442b09ea33 * Don't use a search path. 2003-10-30 16:10:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 933b3f677d * Attribute selection operator. 2003-10-30 16:10:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b95a3dc45b * Basic grammar and parser for the Fix language. We use libsglr and
friends to do the parsing.  The parse table is embedded in the Fix
  executable using bin2c, which converts an arbitrary file into a C
  character array.
2003-10-29 16:05:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4d728f6a36 * Forked new version of Fix. 2003-10-29 15:05:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 92eea8fc4e * Fix a race condition in addTextToStore(). 2003-10-23 10:51:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c4e7d324b8 * Use writeFull(). 2003-10-22 13:29:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9d95aafe8c * Ad hoc per-package logging. When Nix performs a derivation, it now
writes stdout/stderr of the builder to ${prefix}/var/log/nix/x,
  where x is the file name of the derivation expression, e.g.,

    /nix/var/log/nix/54256391624be04fcb426048ae3ea0a4-d-pan-0.14.2.nix

  Note that consecutive builds of the same expression overwrite,
  rather than append to, existing log files.
2003-10-22 11:04:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 143427f90b * Dead code removal. 2003-10-22 10:53:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4a8948b7a6 * Some wrapper classes to ensure that file descriptors / directory
handles are closed when they go out of scope.
2003-10-22 10:48:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c62433751d * Finished refactoring the tree. 2003-10-20 10:05:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 53e376d836 * Refactored the source tree. 2003-10-20 09:20:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0791282b2f * Substitutes and nix-pull now work again.
* Fixed a segfault caused by the buffering of stderr.
* Fix now allows the specification of the full output path.  This
  should be used with great care, since it by-passes the normal hash
  generation.
* Incremented the version number to 0.4 (prerelease).
2003-10-16 16:29:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c78bf11524 * Enable buffering of stderr in C++. 2003-10-16 11:55:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f7c7aad135 * Upgraded to Berkeley DB 4.1.25 and do not synchronously flush the
log on commit.  This means that there is a small change that some
  transactions may be rolled back in case of a system crash, but this
  should not be a problem (it merely might cause some expression
  realisations to be rolled back), and it vastly improves performance.

* Upgraded to ATerm 2.0.5 (which also includes Armijn's 64-bit
  patches).
2003-10-16 08:52:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 181aa3dc41 * Don't sort the result of `--query --list'. 2003-10-16 08:06:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ebff82222c * Refactoring: move all database manipulation into store.cc.
* Removed `--query --generators'.
2003-10-15 12:42:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c190f051ac * Automatically recover the database in case of a crash. 2003-10-14 15:33:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1d61e473c8 * New query `nix --query --predecessors' to print the predecessors of
a Nix expression.
2003-10-10 15:25:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0abe185688 * `nix --verify': check and repair reverse mapping for successors. 2003-10-10 15:14:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d3d5e77810 * Reverse mappings for the successor and substitute mappings. 2003-10-10 14:46:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1eb4da156c * Performance improvement: don't register already registered terms,
thus greatly reducing the number of db transactions.
2003-10-10 13:22:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6baa2c4420 * Get rid of identifiers since they are redundant now. This greatly
simplifies stuff.

* The format of Nix expressions and the database schema changed
  because of this, so it's best to delete old Nix installations.
2003-10-08 15:06:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b9f4942bd2 * string -> Path. 2003-10-07 14:37:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5d4171f7fb * Synchronise terminology with the ICSE paper (e.g., slice -> closure,
fstate -> Nix expression).
* Fix src/test.cc.
2003-10-07 12:27:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e78f753aa8 * Include the right files in a distribution. 2003-10-02 12:22:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4193d62e08 * Nix now respects $TMPDIR for the creation of temporary build directories.
* Retry creation of a temporary directory (with a different name) in the 
  case of EEXIST.
2003-10-02 11:55:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1c7d6bf5fc * Removed references to char_traits so that boost/format also works on
GCC 2.95.
2003-09-11 10:23:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d930a9bc5a * Added some missing #includes. 2003-09-11 08:31:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 803a924b77 * Make nicer dot graphs. Also show the inner structure of slices. 2003-09-03 14:49:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c0bbed0959 * Factored out dot graph generation into a separate file. 2003-09-03 11:20:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0d2bc68681 * Do not show the output of the builder unless the verbosity is at
least at debug level (-vvv).  The output is still appended to the 
  build log in /nix/var/log/nix.
2003-08-29 13:12:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b018517314 * Do not try to remove write permission from symlinks, since chmod()
follows symlinks.  (Note that the permissions on symlinks are
  ignored anyway.)
2003-08-28 10:51:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 31be53cd0a * Fix the atrocious (exponential? factorial?) time complexity in
`nix --query --requisites'.
2003-08-25 14:56:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a88144215c * Remove write permission from output paths after they have been built.
* Point $HOME to a non-existing path when building to prevent certain tools (such as 
  wget) from falling back on /etc/passwd to locate the home directory (which we 
  don't want them to look at since it's not declared as an input).
2003-08-22 20:12:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 956801fcc2 * Use maps and sets in the FState data type. This ensures normalisation of
slices and derivations w.r.t. order of paths, slice elements, etc.
2003-08-20 14:11:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 624c48260f * Change the abstract syntax of slices. It used to be that ids were used as
keys to reference slice elements, e.g.,

    Slice(["1ef7..."], [("/nix/store/1ef7...-foo", "1ef7", ["8c99..."]), ...])

  This was wrong, since ids represent contents, not locations.  Therefore we
  now have:

    Slice(["/nix/store/1ef7..."], [("/nix/store/1ef7...-foo", "1ef7", ["/nix/store/8c99-..."]), ...])

* Fix a bug in the computation of slice closures that could cause slice
  elements to be duplicated.
2003-08-20 12:39:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ed0db2e0d8 * Fixed a serious bug in the computation of slices. Sometimes the slices
would not be properly closed under the path reference relation.
2003-08-20 11:30:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1472cc4825 * Pipe /dev/null into stdin. 2003-08-19 13:07:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2de8504791 * Delete the temporary directories of failed builds by default, and an
option `--keep-failed' to override this behaviour.
2003-08-19 09:04:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 31e4aa6439 * Allow lists in package bindings, e.g.,
("srcs", [Relative("foo/bar.c"), Relative("foo/baz.h")])

  The result is an environment variable that contains the path names of the
  inputs separated by spaces (so this is not safe for values containing
  spaces).
2003-08-18 16:32:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ebbb6ce578 * Most shells initialise PATH to some default (/bin:/usr/bin:...)
when PATH is not set.  We don't want this, so fill it in with
  some dummy value.
2003-08-18 14:54:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 96c7b98bf0 * Argument support in Fix. Arguments can be passed through the
builder using the `args' binding:

  ("args", ["bla", True, IncludeFix("aterm/aterm.fix")])

  Note that packages can also be declared as inputs by specifying them
  in the argument list.
2003-08-15 13:01:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 555347744d * Derivation expressions now can specify arguments to be passed to the
builder.  Note that this unfortunately causes all Fix-computed
  hashes to change.
2003-08-15 12:32:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 163db7367f * Fix can now read expressions from stdin (by saying `fix -'). 2003-08-15 09:21:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dc0ef2ca98 * Detect infinite loops using blackholing. 2003-08-14 12:37:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5cde23f869 * Function() takes a list of formals. 2003-08-14 09:49:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0a2de7f543 * Lam -> Function. Doh! 2003-08-14 09:29:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c602930e08 * deletePath(): some operating systems (e.g., Mac OS X) don't like it
when we delete entries from a directory while we are reading it.
  So read the directory into memory, then delete its contents.
2003-08-08 14:55:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 236eb59293 * Allow locks on paths to be acquired recursively (that is, if the
process is already holding a lock on a path, it may acquire the lock
  again without blocking or failing).  (This might be dangerous, not
  sure).  Necessary for fast builds to work.
2003-08-06 09:34:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 720f06e3b0 * A flag `--flat' to just compute the MD5 checksum of the contents of
a regular file.  I.e., `nix-hash --flat' is equivalent to the
  coreutils `md5sum' command (which doesn't exist on all systems).
2003-08-06 09:06:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 37483672d4 * App -> Call.
* Allow booleans in package environment bindings (True maps to "1",
  False maps to "").
2003-08-06 09:05:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d34b4d4f28 * Conditionals. 2003-08-05 13:05:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4ce652640b * Cache result of fstatePaths(). TODO: do this in fstore.cc. 2003-08-05 12:29:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 17f05dba77 * Allow the top-level expression to be a list of expressions that
normalise to Nix expression.
2003-08-05 11:13:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d6b6b2d3a8 * Delete obstructed paths prior to building. 2003-08-05 09:47:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d2e963f7a3 * Path locking in addToStore() and expandPath(). 2003-08-04 07:09:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c95b4ad290 * In normaliseFState(), wrap registration of the output paths and the
normal form in a single transaction to ensure that if we crash,
  either everything is registered or nothing is.  This is for
  recoverability: unregistered paths in the store can be deleted
  arbitrarily, while registered paths can only be deleted by running
  the garbage collector.
2003-08-01 15:41:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d99d04e644 * Defensive programming against POSIX locking idiocy.
* Simplified realiseSlice().
2003-08-01 15:06:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 545145cd58 * normaliseFState() now locks all output paths prior to building, thus
ensuring that simultaneous invocations of Nix don't clobber
  each other's  builds.

* Fixed a bug in `make install'.
2003-08-01 14:11:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9df93f30bd * Don't use substitutes in addToStore(). 2003-08-01 09:01:51 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 06434072e7 * Put the database verifier in a transaction. 2003-07-31 19:49:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 06d3d7355d * Enclose most operations that update the database in transactions.
* Open all database tables (Db objects) at initialisation time, not
  every time they are used.  This is necessary because tables have to
  outlive all transactions that refer to them.
2003-07-31 16:05:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 177a7782ae * Use a more reasonable log file size (256 KB instead of 10 MB).
* Checkpoint on exit.
2003-07-31 14:28:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4a013962bd * Started using Berkeley DB environments. This is necessary for
transaction support (but we don't actually use transactions yet).
2003-07-31 13:47:13 +00:00
