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)

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.
