Tuomas Tynkkynen 77e9e1ed91 libexpr: Fix prim_replaceStrings() to work on an empty source string
Otherwise, running e.g.

nix-instantiate --eval -E --strict 'builtins.replaceStrings [""] ["X"] "abc"'

would just hang in an infinite loop.

Found by afl-fuzz.

First attempt of this was reverted in e2d71bd186 because it caused
another infinite loop, which is fixed now and a test added.

Revert "libexpr: Fix prim_replaceStrings() to work on an empty source string"
This reverts commit 4ea9707591.

It causes an infinite loop in Nixpkgs evaluation,
e.g. "nix-instantiate -A hello" hung.

PR #1886.

builtins.path test: Don't rely on shlevy's XDG_RUNTIME_DIR 2018-02-07 10:26:53 -05:00
Shea Levy 69d82e5c58
Add path primop.
builtins.path allows specifying the name of a path (which makes paths
with store-illegal names now addable), allows adding paths with flat
instead of recursive hashes, allows specifying a filter (so is a
generalization of filterSource), and allows specifying an expected
hash (enabling safe path adding in pure mode).

Nicolas B. Pierron b8867a0239 Add builtins.string function.
The function 'builtins.split' takes a POSIX extended regular expression
and an arbitrary string. It returns a list of non-matching substring
interleaved by lists of matched groups of the regular expression.

```nix
with builtins;
assert split "(a)b" "abc"      == [ "" [ "a" ] "c" ];
assert split "([ac])" "abc"    == [ "" [ "a" ] "b" [ "c" ] "" ];
assert split "(a)|(c)" "abc"   == [ "" [ "a" null ] "b" [ null "c" ] "" ];
assert split "([[:upper:]]+)" "  FOO   "
                               == [ "  " [ "FOO" ] "   " ];

Eelco Dolstra 26d92017d3 Add builtin function "partition"
The implementation of "partition" in Nixpkgs is O(n^2) (because of the
use of ++), and for some reason was causing stack overflows in
multi-threaded evaluation (not sure why).

This reduces "nix-env -qa --drv-path" runtime by 0.197s and memory
usage by 298 MiB (in non-Boehm mode).

Eelco Dolstra 976df480c9 Add a primop for regular expression pattern matching
The function ‘builtins.match’ takes a POSIX extended regular
expression and an arbitrary string. It returns ‘null’ if the string
does not match the regular expression. Otherwise, it returns a list
containing substring matches corresponding to parenthesis groups in
the regex. The regex must match the entire string (i.e. there is an
implied "^<pat>$" around the regex).  For example:

  match "foo" "foobar" => null
  match "foo" "foo" => []
  match "f(o+)(.*)" "foooobar" => ["oooo" "bar"]
  match "(.*/)?([^/]*)" "/dir/file.nix" => ["/dir/" "file.nix"]
  match "(.*/)?([^/]*)" "file.nix" => [null "file.nix"]

The following example finds all regular files with extension .nix or
.patch underneath the current directory:

  let

    findFiles = pat: dir: concatLists (mapAttrsToList (name: type:
      if type == "directory" then
        findFiles pat (dir + "/" + name)
      else if type == "regular" && match pat name != null then
        [(dir + "/" + name)]
      else []) (readDir dir));

  in findFiles ".*\\.(nix|patch)" (toString ./.)

Shea Levy 997defa166 Add functors (callable attribute sets).
With this, attribute sets with a `__functor` attribute can be applied
just like normal functions. This can be used to attach arbitrary
metadata to a function without callers needing to treat it specially.

Eelco Dolstra 62a6eeb1f3 Make the Nix search path declarative
Nix search path lookups like <nixpkgs> are now desugared to ‘findFile
nixPath <nixpkgs>’, where ‘findFile’ is a new primop. Thus you can
override the search path simply by saying

  let
    nixPath = [ { prefix = "nixpkgs"; path = "/my-nixpkgs"; } ];
  in ... <nixpkgs> ...

In conjunction with ‘scopedImport’ (commit
c273c15cb1), the Nix search path can be
propagated across imports, e.g.

  let

    overrides = {
      nixPath = [ ... ] ++ builtins.nixPath;
      import = fn: scopedImport overrides fn;
      scopedImport = attrs: fn: scopedImport (overrides // attrs) fn;
      builtins = builtins // overrides;
    };

  in scopedImport overrides ./nixos

Eelco Dolstra a8edf185a9 Add constant ‘nixPath’
It contains the Nix expression search path as a list of { prefix, path
} sets, e.g.

  [ { path = "/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos"; prefix = ""; }
    { path = "/etc/nixos/configuration.nix"; prefix = "nixos-config"; }
    { path = "/home/eelco/Dev/nix/inst/share/nix/corepkgs"; prefix = "nix"; }
  ]

Eelco Dolstra c273c15cb1 Add primop ‘scopedImport’
‘scopedImport’ works like ‘import’, except that it takes a set of
attributes to be added to the lexical scope of the expression,
essentially extending or overriding the builtin variables.  For
instance, the expression

  scopedImport { x = 1; } ./foo.nix

where foo.nix contains ‘x’, will evaluate to 1.

This has a few applications:

* It allows getting rid of function argument specifications in package
  expressions. For instance, a package expression like:

    { stdenv, fetchurl, libfoo }:

    stdenv.mkDerivation { ... buildInputs = [ libfoo ]; }

  can now we written as just

    stdenv.mkDerivation { ... buildInputs = [ libfoo ]; }

  and imported in all-packages.nix as:

    bar = scopedImport pkgs ./bar.nix;

  So whereas we once had dependencies listed in three places
  (buildInputs, the function, and the call site), they now only need
  to appear in one place.

* It allows overriding builtin functions. For instance, to trace all
  calls to ‘map’:

  let
    overrides = {
      map = f: xs: builtins.trace "map called!" (map f xs);

      # Ensure that our override gets propagated by calls to
      # import/scopedImport.
      import = fn: scopedImport overrides fn;

      scopedImport = attrs: fn: scopedImport (overrides // attrs) fn;

      # Also update ‘builtins’.
      builtins = builtins // overrides;
    };
  in scopedImport overrides ./bla.nix

* Similarly, it allows extending the set of builtin functions. For
  instance, during Nixpkgs/NixOS evaluation, the Nixpkgs library
  functions could be added to the default scope.

There is a downside: calls to scopedImport are not memoized, unlike
import. So importing a file multiple times leads to multiple parsings
/ evaluations. It would be possible to construct the AST only once,
but that would require careful handling of variables/environments.
