d5d4dcd4c9 * Allow attribute names to be strings. Based on the 
allow-arbitrary-strinsg-in-names patch by Marc Weber.

0a623a10c7 * Allow a default value in attribute selection by writing 
x.y.z or default

  (as originally proposed in
  https://mail.cs.uu.nl/pipermail/nix-dev/2009-September/002989.html).

  For instance, an expression like

    stdenv.lib.attrByPath ["features" "ckSched"] false args

  can now be written as

    args.features.ckSched or false

2b9e29b1c8 * Change the right-hand side of the ‘.’ operator from an attribute to 
an attribute path.  This is a refactoring to support default values.

5637037802 * In the ‘?’ operator, allow attribute paths. For instance, you can 
write ‘attrs ? a.b’ to test whether ‘attrs’ has an attribute ‘a’
  containing an attribute ‘b’.  This is more convenient than ‘attrs ?
  a && attrs.a ? b’.

  Slight change in the semantics: it's no longer an error if the
  left-hand side of ‘?’ is not an attribute set.  In that case it just
  returns false.  So, ‘null ? foo’ no longer throws an error.

8c69dac8a1 * Handle error messages from the Nix worker containing the `%' 
character.  (Nix/216)

4ba6afaf48 * nix-env -ub' (--prebuilt-only') didn't really work because it 
checked too soon whether substitutes are available.  That is, it did
  so for every available package, rather than those matching installed
  packages.  This was very slow and subject to assertion failures.  So
  do the check much later.  Idem for `nix-env -qab' and `nix-env -ib'.

538b7caab0 * Don't allocate a big initial GC address space on machines with 
little RAM.  Even if the memory isn't actually used, it can cause
  problems with the overcommit heuristics in the kernel.  So use a VM
  space of 25% of RAM, up to 384 MB.

5a6b039802 * Don't call GC_expand_hp unless we're actually using the garbage 
collector.

aeae0beba4 * Clang compatibility fix. Clang actually checks template definitions 
when they are defined

9db190eb31 * builtins.substring: if "start" is beyond the end of the string, 
return the empty string.

c931a7aec5 * Do a short sleep after SQLITE_BUSY. 2010-12-17 17:23:15 +00:00

b1eb252172 * Propagate the "100" exit status for failed builds through the Nix 
daemon.
 2010-12-17 11:28:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
3dd02580e3 * I forgot to catch SQLiteBusy in registerValidPaths(). So 
registerValidPaths() now handles busy errors and registerValidPath()
  is simply a wrapper around it.

d787285af9 * nix-instantiate: return exit status 100 to denote a permanent build 
failure.  The build hook can use this to distinguish between
  transient and permanent failures on the remote side.

5833243c92 * Create /nix/var/nix/db if it's missing. 2010-12-13 13:42:34 +00:00

100becf8d1 * createDirs(path): if path already exists, make sure it's a 
directory.
* Provide a C++ wrapper around lstat().

e4720b1a79 * Ignore the result of sqlite3_reset(). 2010-12-08 18:19:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
8062d3af30 * `nix-store --verify --check-contents': don't hold the global GC lock 
while checking the contents, since this operation can take a very
  long time to finish.  Also, fill in missing narSize fields in the DB
  while doing this.

de79d23f76 * Retry a transaction if SQLite returns SQLITE_BUSY. This can happen 
even with a very long busy timeout, because SQLITE_BUSY is also
  returned to resolve deadlocks.  This should get rid of random
  "database is locked" errors.  This is kind of hard to test though.
* Fix a horrible bug in deleteFromStore(): deletePathWrapped() should
  be called after committing the transaction, not before, because the
  commit might not succeed.

77f7a6d591 * Quick hack around one of the pathological cases in bsdiff 
(namely, when there is a long region of 0s).  On one 86 MiB
  case, this cut patch generation time from 44m to 2m.

Eelco Dolstra
812fae424e * DrvInfo contains pointers to expressions, so DrvInfos should be 
traced by the garbage collector.  Otherwise "nix-env -u" can crash
  randomly.

bdf089f463 * Before a build, show the disk space that the downloaded store paths 
will approximately require.

e60c962fb8 * Add an operation `nix-store -q --size'. 2010-11-17 12:40:52 +00:00

1db6259076 * Implement RemoteStore::queryPathInfo(). 2010-11-17 12:08:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
a3883cbd28 * Store the size of a store path in the database (to be precise, the 
size of the NAR serialisation of the path, i.e., `nix-store --dump
  PATH').  This is useful for Hydra.

26def5392f * Document Boehm GC support. 2010-10-29 14:44:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
14fbf85380 * Set libgc's initial heap size to 384 MiB to prevent garbage 
collection in most cases (and therefore its performance overhead).

0c4828ea05 * new(UseGC) is inexplicably slower than GC_MALLOC, so prefer the 
latter.

e11e6fb1c6 * Handle out of memory condition. 2010-10-28 12:29:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
43535499f3 * When allocating an attribute set, reserve enough space for all 
elements.  This prevents the vector from having to resize itself.
 2010-10-24 20:09:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
e0b7fb8f27 * Keep attribute sets in sorted order to speed up attribute lookups. 
* Simplify the representation of attributes in the AST.
* Change the behaviour of listToAttrs() in case of duplicate names.
 2010-10-24 19:52:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
2dc6d50941 * Don't create thunks for variable lookups (if possible). This 
significantly reduces the number of values allocated (e.g. from 8.7m
  to 4.9m for the Bittorrent test).
 2010-10-24 14:20:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
0b305c534f * Store attribute sets as a vector instead of a map (i.e. a red-black 
tree).  This saves a lot of memory.  The vector should be sorted so
  that names can be looked up using binary search, but this is not the
  case yet.  (Surprisingly, looking up attributes using linear search
  doesn't have a big impact on performance.)

  Memory consumption for

    $ nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos/tests -A bittorrent.test --readonly-mode

  on x86_64-linux with GC enabled is now 185 MiB (compared to 946
  MiB on the trunk).

8ac06726b9 * Make Value smaller by not storing redundant PrimOp info. 
* Clear pointers in Values after overwriting them to make sure that no
  objects are kept alive unnecessarily.

3f66cfb96b * Remove allocValues(). 2010-10-23 18:18:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
4dee289550 * In environments, store pointers to values rather than values. This 
improves GC effectiveness a bit more (because a live value doesn't
  keep other values in the environment plus the parent environments
  alive), and removes the need for copy nodes.
 2010-10-22 15:51:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
41c45a9b31 * Store Value nodes outside of attribute sets. I.e., Attr now stores 
a pointer to a Value, rather than the Value directly.  This improves
  the effectiveness of garbage collection a lot: if the Value is
  stored inside the set directly, then any live pointer to the Value
  causes all other attributes in the set to be live as well.

expression evaluator.

Eelco Dolstra
64fd29855a * Wrap deleteFromStore() in a transaction. Otherwise there might be a 
race with other processes that add new referrers to a path,
  resulting in the garbage collector crashing with "foreign key
  constraint failed".  (Nix/4)
* Make --gc --print-dead etc. interruptible.
