Eelco Dolstra fbedf6056e * Merge release notes. 2005-09-22 12:23:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 607a2f01e6 * Remove other uses of IPC::Open2. 2005-09-21 17:14:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 95304172a5 * Don't use IPC::Open2, it has a subtle race bug on Mac OS X 10.4. If
the parent runs before the child, it closes some pipe file
  descriptors which causes the child to fail due to a bad file
  descriptor.  So we just use the normal open() function instead.
  
  This fixes NIX-14 (intermittent nix-pull failures).

Eelco Dolstra e1a6fb7870 * `dependencyClosure' now allows a search path, e.g.,
dependencyClosure { ... searchPath = [ ../foo ../bar ]; ... }

* Primop `dirOf' to return the directory part of a path (e.g., dirOf
  /a/b/c == /a/b).

* Primop `relativise' (according to Webster that's a real word!) that
  given paths A and B returns a string representing path B relative
  path to A; e.g., relativise /a/b/c a/b/x/y => "../x/y".

Eelco Dolstra 08c53923db * A primitive operation `dependencyClosure' to do automatic dependency
determination (e.g., finding the header files dependencies of a C
  file) in Nix low-level builds automatically.

  For instance, in the function `compileC' in make/lib/default.nix, we
  find the header file dependencies of C file `main' as follows:

    localIncludes =
      dependencyClosure {
        scanner = file:
          import (findIncludes {
            inherit file;
          });
        startSet = [main];
      };

  The function works by "growing" the set of dependencies, starting
  with the set `startSet', and calling the function `scanner' for each
  file to get its dependencies (which should yield a list of strings
  representing relative paths).  For instance, when `scanner' is
  called on a file `foo.c' that includes the line

    #include "../bar/fnord.h"

  then `scanner' should yield ["../bar/fnord.h"].  This list of
  dependencies is absolutised relative to the including file and added
  to the set of dependencies.  The process continues until no more
  dependencies are found (hence its a closure).

  `dependencyClosure' yields a list that contains in alternation a
  dependency, and its relative path to the directory of the start
  file, e.g.,

    [ /bla/bla/foo.c
      "foo.c"
      /bla/bar/fnord.h
      "../bar/fnord.h"
    ]

  These relative paths are necessary for the builder that compiles
  foo.c to reconstruct the relative directory structure expected by
  foo.c.

  The advantage of `dependencyClosure' over the old approach (using
  the impure `__currentTime') is that it's completely pure, and more
  efficient because it only rescans for dependencies (i.e., by
  building the derivations yielded by `scanner') if sources have
  actually changed.  The old approach rescanned every time.

Eelco Dolstra 0f827cc607 * Prevent repeated wrapping of closed terms
(closed(closed(closed(...)))) since this reduces performance by
  producing bigger terms and killing caching (which incidentally also
