precedence, i.e. `with {x=1;}; with {x=2;}; x' evaluates to 2'.
This has a simpler implementation and seems more natural. There
doesn't seem to be any code in Nixpkgs or NixOS that relies on the
old behaviour.
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.
This fixes a regression introduced in r20882 ("Add source location
information to the XML output.").
* src/libexpr/expr-to-xml.cc (nix::printTermAsXML): Dereference the
attribute RHS from "drvPath" and "outPath".
then the blackhole has to be removed to ensure that repeated
evaluation of the same value gives an assertion failure again rather
than an "infinite recursion" error.
that there are some places in Nixpkgs (php_configurable /
composableDerivation, it seems) that call `derivation' with
incorrect arguments (namely, the `name' attribute missing) but get
away with it because of laziness.
* Removed exprToString and stringToExpr because there is no ATerm
representation to work on anymore (and exposing the internals of the
evaluator like this is not a good idea anyway).
* src/libexpr/expr-to-xml.cc (nix::showAttrs): Add `location'
parameter. Provide location XML attributes when it's true. Update
callers.
(nix::printTermAsXML): Likewise.
* src/libexpr/expr-to-xml.hh (nix::printTermAsXML): Update prototype;
have `location' default to `false'.
* src/nix-instantiate/nix-instantiate.cc (printResult, processExpr): Add
`location' parameter; update callers.
(run): Add support for `--no-location'.
* src/nix-instantiate/help.txt: Update accordingly.
* tests/lang.sh: Invoke `nix-instantiate' with `--no-location' for the
XML tests.
* tests/lang/eval-okay-toxml.exp, tests/lang/eval-okay-to-xml.nix: New
files.
* src/libexpr/expr-to-xml.cc (nix::showAttrs): Dereference the attribute
RHS. Add "path", "line", and "column" XML attributes to the node when
source location information is available.
(nix::printTermAsXML): Likewise for functions.
