d315210612 * Added a builtin function `isList' to test whether a value is a list. 
With this primitive, a list-flattening function can be implemented
  (NIX-55, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-flatten.nix).

c02a44183f * Builtin functions head' and tail' to return the head and tail of 
list.  Useful for lots of things, such as implementing a fold
  function (see NIX-30, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-list.nix).

8a1ab709a4 * New builtin functions builtins.{hasAttr, getAttr} to check for 
attribute existence and to return an attribute from an attribute
  set, respectively.  Example: `hasAttr "foo" {foo = 1;}'.  They
  differ from the `?' and `.' operators in that the attribute name is
  an arbitrary expression.  (NIX-61)

de90fdf908 * Allow "$" in strings as long as they are not followed by "{". (Too 
bad flex doesn't have lexical restrictions, the current solution
  isn't quite right...)

f93f7b75be * Okay, that's a bit harder than expected. 2006-08-30 13:10:04 +00:00

dce1afdc67 * TDD: == should do a deep equality test, i.e., it should strictly 
evaluate its arguments.

215ec2ddc6 * New primop __toXML (or builtins.toXML) to convert an expression to 
an XML representation stored in a string.  This should be useful to
  pass structured information to builders.

38f18aa6d4 * New primop: abort "error message". 2006-08-23 15:46:00 +00:00

4a053bfdfd * A new primop `builtins', which returns an attribute set containing 
all the primops.  This allows Nix expressions to test for new
  primops and take appropriate action if they're not available.  For
  instance, rather than calling a primop `foo' directly, they could
  say `if builtins ? foo then builtins.foo ... else ...'.

bfe19b3c37 * A test for NIX-53. 2006-08-16 10:23:02 +00:00

f4c5531d92 * New language feature: domain checks, which check whether a function 
argument has a valid value, i.e., is in a certain domain.  E.g.,

    { foo : [true false]
    , bar : ["a" "b" "c"]
    }: ...

  This previously could be done using assertions, but domain checks
  will allow the buildfarm to automatically extract the configuration
  space from functions.

2b4b0658fa * This expression has an undefined variable which isn't detected, so 
evaluation fails:

    error: impossible: undefined variable `gcc'

5cabd47394 * Allow function argument default values to refer to other arguments 
of the function.  Implements NIX-45.

0064599a27 * String interpolation. Expressions like 
"--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib"

  can now be written as

    "--with-freetype2-library=${freetype}/lib"

  An arbitrary expression can be enclosed within ${...}, not just
  identifiers.

* Escaping in string literals: \n, \r, \t interpreted as in C, any
  other character following \ is interpreted as-is.
  
* Newlines are now allowed in string literals.

6cecad2be0 * Allow string concatenations involving derivations, e.g., 
configureFlags = "--with-freetype2-library="
      + freetype + "/lib";

991a130b1e * Added a list concatenation operator: 
[1 2 3] ++ [4 5 6] => [1 2 3 4 5 6]
 2005-07-25 15:05:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
040140dd1c * Added a primop `removeAttrs' to remove attributes from a set, e.g., 
`removeAttrs attrs ["x", "y"]' returns the set `attrs' with the
  attributes named `x' and `y' removed.  It is not an error for the
  named attributes to be missing from the input set.

ed09821859 * Use atdiff' instead of cmp' for checking test output. 
* Don't use local file names in tests since they will produce
  different parse trees depending on the current directory.

3277c9432a * Bug fix in parsing of /* ... */ comments; due to longest match 
regexp there could be only one such comment per file.

463e2817c5 * Remove ancient Fix tests.
