Eelco Dolstra ac4d39f9db * Added an operator `?' to test for attribute existence, e.g., 
`attrs ? x' yields true iff `attrs' has an attribute named `x'.
 2004-03-28 21:15:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f958bcdf1f * Added an operator `~' to select paths within a derivation. E.g., 
{stdenv, bash}: derivation {
      builder = bash ~ /bin/sh;
      args = ["-e" "-x" ./builder.sh];
      ...
    }

  Here the attribute `builder' will evaluate to, e.g.,
  `/nix/store/1234abcd...-bash-2.0.1/bin/sh'.

Eelco Dolstra db3e644c1c * Added plain lambdas, e.g., `let { id = x: x; const = x: y: x; }'. 
`bla:' is now no longer parsed as a URL.

* Re-enabled support for the `args' attribute in derivations to
  specify command line arguments to the builder, e.g.,

    ...
    builder = /usr/bin/python;
    args = ["-c" ./builder.py];
    ...

Eelco Dolstra 79bb0008ec * `null' is a normal form. 2004-03-19 14:45:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dbf547645d * Resolve an ambiguity between ifs and attribute selection, e.g., `if 
b then x else y.z'.

Eelco Dolstra 0dfdafdf6d * Allow linking against an external Berkeley DB / ATerm library. 2004-02-16 16:37:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fbc48a469c * Inherited attributes in recursive attribute sets are in scope of the 
non-inherited attributes.
 2004-02-16 09:18:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d445da7a7b * Extended the `inherit' syntax to optionally select attributes from 
other attribute sets, rather than the current scope.  E.g.,
  
    {inherit (pkgs) gcc binutils;}

  is equivalent to

    {gcc = pkgs.gcc; binutils = pkgs.binutils;}

  I am not so happy about the syntax.

Eelco Dolstra 9d25466b34 * An attribute set update operator (//). E.g., 
{x=1; y=2; z=3;} // {y=4;}  =>  {x=1; y=4; z=3;}
 2004-02-04 16:49:51 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9b44480612 * Use a map to lookup primops. 
* Various performance improvements in the evaluator.
* Do not link against unused (and missing!) libraries (-lsglr, etc.).

Eelco Dolstra c4f7ae4aa5 * Verify that all variables in a Nix expression are defined. 2004-02-03 14:45:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1c9c0a5a46 * Added syntactic sugar to the construction of attribute sets to 
`inherit' variables from the surrounding lexical scope.

  E.g.,

    {stdenv, libfoo}: derivation {
      builder = ./bla;
      inherit stdenv libfoo;
      xyzzy = 1;
    }

  is equivalent to

    {stdenv, libfoo}: derivation {
      builder = ./bla;
      stdenv = stdenv;
      libfoo = libfoo;
      xyzzy = 1;
    }

  Note that for mutually recursive attribute set definitions (`rec
  {...}'), this also works, that is, `rec {inherit x;}' is equivalent
  to `let {fresh = x; body = rec {x = fresh;};}', *not*
  `rec {x = x}'.

Eelco Dolstra 47c003cb59 * Doh! 2004-01-30 17:14:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 619f20775d * Parser numbers again. 
* Include missing files in distributions.
 2004-01-30 17:06:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c625718513 * Detect flex and bison; updated the manual. 2004-01-30 16:32:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c5baaafae6 * Replaced the SDF parser by a substantially faster Bison/Flex 
parser (roughly 80x faster).

  The absolutely latest version of Bison (1.875c) is required for
  reentrant GLR support, as well as a recent version of Flex (say,
  2.5.31).  Note that most Unix distributions ship with the
  prehistoric Flex 2.5.4, which doesn't support reentrancy.

Eelco Dolstra abd1878b26 * Optimised the SDF grammar. 2004-01-29 14:24:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1109ea0680 * Fixed a subtle uninitialised variable bug in ATermMaps copied from 
ATermMaps.  Found thanks to Valgrind!
 2004-01-21 14:49:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 447089a5f6 * Catch SIGINT to terminate cleanly when the user tries to interrupt 
Nix.  This is to prevent Berkeley DB from becoming wedged.

  Unfortunately it is not possible to throw C++ exceptions from a
  signal handler.  In fact, you can't do much of anything except
  change variables of type `volatile sig_atomic_t'.  So we set an
  interrupt flag in the signal handler and check it at various
  strategic locations in the code (by calling checkInterrupt()).
  Since this is unlikely to cover all cases (e.g., (semi-)infinite
  loops), sometimes SIGTERM may now be required to kill Nix.

Eelco Dolstra 08719c6c97 * Obsolete. 2004-01-15 20:13:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4a373a3e9a * Implemented Eelco V.'s `nix-env -I' command to specify the default 
path of the Nix expression to be used with the import, upgrade, and
  query commands.  For instance,

  $ nix-env -I ~/nixpkgs/pkgs/system/i686-linux.nix

  $ nix-env --query --available   [aka -qa]
  sylpheed-0.9.7
  bison-1.875
  pango-1.2.5
  subversion-0.35.1
  ...

  $ nix-env -i sylpheed

  $ nix-env -u subversion

  There can be only one default at a time.

* If the path to a Nix expression is a symlink, follow the symlink
  prior to resolving relative path references in the expression.

 2003-11-22 18:45:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 06208d1d86 * Uninstallation. 2003-11-21 14:23:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9898746ef3 * nix-env: a tool to manage user environments.

  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.
