Eelco Dolstra 1073b1780a * Remove debug message. 2006-12-13 14:29:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a3e6415ba8 * New primop builtins.filterSource, which can be used to filter files 
from a source directory.  All files for which a predicate function
  returns true are copied to the store.  Typical example is to leave
  out the .svn directory:

    stdenv.mkDerivation {
      ...
      src = builtins.filterSource
        (path: baseNameOf (toString path) != ".svn")
        ./source-dir;
      # as opposed to
      #   src = ./source-dir;
    }

  This is important because the .svn directory influences the hash in
  a rather unpredictable and variable way.
 2006-12-12 23:05:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1a7e88bbd9 * New built-in function `builtins.attrNames' that returns the 
names of the attributes in an attribute set.
 2006-12-12 16:14:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9c9cdb06d0 * Remove SwitchToOriginalUser, we're not going to need it anymore. 2006-12-02 14:34:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fcd9900d74 * Replace read-only calls to addTextToStore. 2006-12-01 21:00:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a824d58b56 * Merge addToStore and addToStoreFixed. 
* addToStore now adds unconditionally, it doesn't use readOnlyMode.
  Read-only operation is up to the caller (who can call
  computeStorePathForPath).
 2006-12-01 20:51:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6ecb840fd1 * Put building in the store API. 2006-11-30 18:02:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e2ef5e07fd * Refactoring. There is now an abstract interface class StoreAPI 
containing functions that operate on the Nix store.  One
  implementation is LocalStore, which operates on the Nix store
  directly.  The next step, to enable secure multi-user Nix, is to
  create a different implementation RemoteStore that talks to a
  privileged daemon process that uses LocalStore to perform the actual
  operations.
 2006-11-30 17:43:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7e85a2af5f * Fix importing of derivation outputs. 2006-11-03 16:17:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dd300fb48d * Some better error messages. 2006-10-23 16:45:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 17f4883bfe * Better message. 2006-10-19 17:43:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9bd93f7606 * toFile: maintain the references. 2006-10-19 17:39:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra daa8f85fcd * Backwards compatibility hack for user environments made by Nix <= 0.10. 2006-10-17 14:13:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 24737f279e * Backwards compatibility with old user environment manifests. 2006-10-17 14:01:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4bd5cdb90b * Print out the offending path. 2006-10-17 14:01:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 58ff6939f4 * An awful backwards compatibility hack. 2006-10-17 12:58:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3059df0f1e * baseNameOf: paths don't have to be absolute. 2006-10-17 12:34:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra be1961c9f8 * toPath: should be the identity on paths. 2006-10-17 11:07:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cba913c521 * dirOf: return a path if the argument is a path. 2006-10-17 11:05:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cf705eaf78 * toString: don't copy paths. So toString can be used to pass 
non-store paths to a builder.
 2006-10-17 10:58:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7de5fe2fc2 * Do the path check on the normal form. 2006-10-17 10:57:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d7efd76394 * Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, string 
concatenation and string coercion.  This was a big mess (see
  e.g. NIX-67).  Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they
  don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected.  The
  semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def).
  toString() and coerceToString() have been merged.

  Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a
  concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the
  formalisation of the meaning of a path).  So

    "foo " + ./bla

  evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo
  /path/to/current-dir/bla".  This prevents accidental impurities, and
  is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g.,
  `"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation.  (Here `bla' would be
  replaced by the output path of `bla'.)
 2006-10-16 15:55:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7d4567f2cc * Removed URIs from the evaluator (NIX-66). They are now just another 
kind of notation for strings.
 2006-10-11 21:59:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0c4c5c2020 * Quick hack to fix NIX-67: evaluation result differing if the Nix 
expression resides in the store.
 2006-10-10 21:23:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bd0c40e1e9 * import': unwrap the context. Necessary to make import (x + y)' 
work, where x is a store path.
 2006-10-10 15:07:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5fd44654db * toXML: propagate the context to allow derivations to be used in the 
argument.
 2006-10-03 15:38:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d20c3011a0 * toFile: added an additional argument to specify the store path 
suffix, e.g., `builtins.toFile "builder.sh" "..."'.
* toFile: handle references to other files correctly.
 2006-10-03 14:55:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ac19b333b3 * Finally, a real "let" syntax: `let x = ...; ... z = ...; in ...'. 2006-10-02 15:52:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7581cfdee4 * Hack for Bison 2.3 compatability. 2006-10-02 14:43:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e347033f71 * The result of a concatenation with a derivation on the left-hand 
side should be a path, I guess.
* Handle paths that are in the store but not direct children of the
  store directory.
* Ugh, hack to prevent double context wrapping.
 2006-09-24 21:39:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0e705391db * Primop `toPath' to convert a string to a path. 
* Primop `pathExists' to check for path existence.
 2006-09-24 18:23:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e47e0c2dbe * Builtin function `getEnv' for getting environment variables. 2006-09-24 17:48:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra df8873e14a * lessThan primitive for integer comparison. 2006-09-24 15:21:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2ab4bc44c7 * Builtin function `add' to add integers. 
* Put common test functions in tests/lang/lib.nix.
 2006-09-22 15:29:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 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).
 2006-09-22 14:55:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 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).
 2006-09-22 14:46:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 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)
 2006-09-22 14:31:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4e91d8621f * Fix comment. 2006-09-21 18:52:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1bdc152931 * Shut up a warning. 2006-09-20 16:36:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0623359fbc * Print a better error message for wrong hashes (NIX-49). 2006-09-20 16:15:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 01d169f817 * Support `++'. 
* More follow restrictions on layout.
 2006-09-11 13:05:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fc195519b5 * Sone missing #includes. 2006-09-05 08:54:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bafc1690fc * Move setuid stuff to libutil. 
* Install libexpr header files.
 2006-09-04 22:55:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e5a6c09b12 * Install header files in /nix/include/nix. 2006-09-04 22:41:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4be5443882 * Remove unnecessary inclusions of aterm2.h. 2006-09-04 22:08:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e3ce954582 * Compile the lexer as C++ code. Remove all the redundant C/C++ 
marshalling code.
 2006-09-04 21:36:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 75068e7d75 * Use a proper namespace. 
* Optimise header file usage a bit.
* Compile the parser as C++.
 2006-09-04 21:06:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra aab8812732 * Store the Nix libraries in ${libdir}/nix instead of ${libdir}. 2006-09-04 15:12:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7974aae81c * New primop: builtins.toFile, which writes a string into the store 
and returns its path.  This can be used to (for instance) write
  builders inside a Nix expression, e.g.,

  stdenv.mkDerivation {
    builder = "
      source $stdenv/setup
      ...
    ";
    ...
  }
 2006-09-01 12:07:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra de90fdf908 * Allow "$" 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...)
 2006-09-01 12:04:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f93f7b75be * Okay, that's a bit harder than expected. 2006-08-30 13:10:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3151bdea55 * Uninitialised variable. 2006-08-30 12:00:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 547b119f25 * Support singleton values and nested lists again in `args', but print 
a warning.
 2006-08-29 15:40:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2132d9ddeb * Fix the ~ operator. 2006-08-29 15:29:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1ec9f55741 * In toString, deal with nested lists properly (i.e., flatten them). 2006-08-28 21:47:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1fca76870b * Removed processBinding, instead we now apply toString to all 
derivation attributes to flatten them into strings.  This is
  possible since string can nowadays be wrapped in contexts that
  describe the derivations/sources referenced by the evaluation of the
  string.
 2006-08-28 13:31:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8a6080eb14 * Refactoring. 2006-08-26 16:48:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4b66cebe7b * Remove those storePath attribute sets, we don't need 'em. 2006-08-25 17:09:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 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.
 2006-08-24 14:34:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f793caf936 * Refactoring. 2006-08-24 14:16:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra da25d80152 * Strict evaluation and XML printing of lists. 2006-08-24 14:03:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 943ab38a0d * Refactoring: move strictEval to libexpr. 2006-08-24 13:39:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9638f3f393 * Pass the autoArgs to findAlongAttrPath so that "nix-instantiate 
foo.nix -A attr --arg name value" will work if (name, value) is
  needed in the evaluation leading up to "attr".
 2006-08-23 16:20:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b19cebc513 * Quotes. 2006-08-23 15:46:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 38f18aa6d4 * New primop: abort "error message". 2006-08-23 15:46:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 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 ...'.
 2006-08-23 14:39:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2670642733 * Handle carriage returns. Fixes NIX-53. 2006-08-16 10:28:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a18d02e0b0 * Print a warning that the subpath operator (~) is deprecated. 2006-08-09 15:08:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1854f84e83 * Fix a few warnings. 2006-08-04 17:07:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4661282fde * `nix-instantiate ... --arg NAME VALUE': allow arguments to be passed 
to functions from the command line.
* nix-build: started removing backticks.
 2006-07-28 16:03:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c11839d7b2 * `nix-instantiate --print-args': print out the valid values for 
functions arguments that have a domain.
 2006-07-28 14:01:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ca2238cf81 * Refactoring: get the selection path stuff out of getDerivations() 
and put it into a separate function findAlongAttrPath().
 2006-07-26 15:05:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2317d8f671 * `nix-instantiate --print-args' prints out the arguments of a 
top-level function.
 2006-07-25 21:21:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0e6dc72a7a * Applied rbroek's patch from the branch at 
https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/repos/trace/buildfarm-control/trunk/ext/nix/,
  with some modifications.  This allows `nix-env -qa' to show the
  attribute path that can be used to unambiguously install a package
  using `nix-env -i -A'.  Example:

    $ nix-env -f top-level/all-packages.nix -qaA subversion xorg-server
    subversionWithJava  subversion-1.2.3
    subversion          subversion-1.3.2
    subversion14        subversion-1.4.0pre-rc1
    xorg.xorgserver     xorg-server-1.1.0
 2006-07-25 16:40:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7a3a5d1608 * When there is a domain check, we have to evaluate the argument. 
Can't be lazy!
 2006-07-24 16:49:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 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.
 2006-07-24 16:35:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 57751fdb55 * Refactoring to support domain checks. 2006-07-24 15:16:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4f3725b167 * Better error messages (especially wrt types). 2006-07-19 15:36:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e10b830251 * Doh! Of couse we cannot memoize across scopes. 2006-07-11 10:29:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b1c63dc362 * Don't use badTerm, it gives awful error messages. 2006-05-30 11:31:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b5988004d6 * Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41). 2006-05-12 11:47:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9d72bf8835 * 64-bit compatibility fixes (for problems revealed by building on an Athlon 
64 running 64-bit SUSE).  A patched ATerm library is required to run Nix
  succesfully.
 2006-05-11 02:19:43 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5cabd47394 * Allow function argument default values to refer to other arguments 
of the function.  Implements NIX-45.
 2006-05-08 12:52:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 310e605995 * Show evaluation stats when NIX_SHOW_STATS=1. 2006-05-08 10:00:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0832956089 * Use the new ATermMap. 2006-05-04 12:21:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d300b4383d * Optimise null-ary term builders. Also declare all term builder 
functions as pure, which might improve performance a bit.
 2006-05-02 21:58:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 68174bdc7d * Use a linked list of substitutions. This reduces the amount of 
copying.
 2006-05-02 21:39:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c791e94aee * Removed a bunch of ATreverses. 2006-05-02 17:51:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b52e711910 * Huge reduction in memory use (2/3 or so on large nix-env -qas 
operations): share ATermMaps between DrvInfos.
 2006-05-02 17:12:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 11ae2d1e7a * Memory reduction: replaced expensive calls to ATmakeApplList by 
ATmakeApplArray, and got rid of ATreverse in substitute().
 2006-05-02 14:07:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra dc719e6ba5 * Some preliminaries towards NIX-45. 2006-05-02 13:39:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7276e194ee * Disallow unescaped $ in string literals. 2006-05-01 15:29:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 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.
 2006-05-01 14:01:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6cecad2be0 * Allow string concatenations involving derivations, e.g., 
configureFlags = "--with-freetype2-library="
      + freetype + "/lib";
 2006-05-01 09:56:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ef2d4a2da9 * Print a more useful stack trace when an error occurs deep in the 
derivation dependency graph.
 2006-03-24 14:02:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b69e469328 * In `nix-env', look for derivations inside attribute sets that have 
the `recurseForDerivations' attribute set to `true'.
 2006-03-23 16:43:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 49ce8b57dd * Hm. 2006-03-23 16:37:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 37d1b1cafd * `nix-env -qa --description' shows human-readable descriptions of 
packages (provided that they have a `meta.description' attribute).
  E.g.,

  $ ./src/nix-env/nix-env -qa --description gcc
  gcc-4.0.2   GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for sparc-linux)
  gcc-4.0.2   GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for mips-linux)
  gcc-4.0.2   GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for arm-linux)
  gcc-4.0.2   GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x
 2006-03-10 16:20:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2b3b6c9b34 * In theory, this should reduce the number of ATermMap 
re-allocations.
 2006-03-10 16:14:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b90c00e63f * Regression: semantics of the result of getDerivation() changed. 2006-03-09 15:10:01 +00:00
