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.

Eelco Dolstra d39d3c6264 * Implemented inherit. 2010-04-14 23:25:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 110d155778 * Implemented withs. 2010-04-14 15:01:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9985230c00 * After parsing, compute level/displacement pairs for each variable
use site, allowing environments to be stores as vectors of values
  rather than maps.  This should speed up evaluation and reduce the
  number of allocations.

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.

Eelco Dolstra 10e8b1fd15 * Finished the ATerm-less parser. 2010-04-12 23:33:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d4f0b0fc6c * Indented strings. 2010-04-12 22:03:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a60317f20f * More missing constructs. 2010-04-12 21:21:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4d6ad5be17 * Don't use ATerms for the abstract syntax trees anymore. Not
finished yet.

Eelco Dolstra 13c2adc897 * Implemented `rec { inherit ...; }'. 2010-03-31 11:05:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 47df476daa * More operators / primops. 2010-03-30 18:05:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c3aa615a5f * More primops. 2010-03-30 14:39:27 +00:00

Eelco Dolstra d96cdcea6b 2010-03-28 16:57:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3d2b835f30 * Implemented multi-argument primops. 2010-03-28 16:37:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 45d822f29c * Primops (not yet finished). 2010-03-26 15:45:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cad8726b2c * Implemented the ==' and !=' operators. These now use a deep
equality test, so they also work for (finite) attribute sets and
  lists.

Eelco Dolstra 8da118e4d0 * Measure stack usage. 2010-03-25 16:35:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c2ba4313fb * Implemented lists. 2010-03-25 15:38:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 25eedf085d * Quick and dirty implementation of with'. with e1; e2' is
basically desugared to `let <with> = e1; e2', and `lookupVar' looks
  in each <with> in the environment chain for an attribute with the
  specified name.

Eelco Dolstra 3c9f8fc9b6 * Don't convert variable names to strings. 2010-03-25 13:10:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f450384ded * Implement blackholing. 2010-03-25 12:51:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ef8bd919fc * Implement `...' and default function arguments. 2010-03-25 12:45:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8a10360c91 * Simplify @-patterns: only {attrs}@name' or name@{attrs}' are now
allowed.  So `name1@name2', `{attrs1}@{attrs2}' and so on are now no
  longer legal.  This is no big loss because they were not useful
  anyway.

  This also changes the output of builtins.toXML for @-patterns
  slightly.

Eelco Dolstra 7482349fe8 * Implemented attribute set pattern matches. 2010-03-24 23:40:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0fd3648d34 * Store values in environments. 2010-03-24 12:41:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b70bd8fe56 * Reduce the number of value allocations in eval() by moving
responsibility for allocation of the result to the caller.
2010-03-24 12:11:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d31c59eb17 * Plain lambdas. 2010-03-24 11:06:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0910ae9568 * Start of an evaluator that uses call-by-need (with thunk updating)
instead of (memoised) call-by-name.
