Eelco Dolstra b83801f8b3 Optimize small lists
The value pointers of lists with 1 or 2 elements are now stored in the
list value itself. In particular, this makes the "concatMap (x: if
cond then [(f x)] else [])" idiom cheaper.

Eelco Dolstra 14be783676 Add primops all and any
These are used thousands of times during NixOS evaluation, so it's
useful to speed them up.

Eelco Dolstra 0a2bee307b Make <nix/fetchurl.nix> a builtin builder
This ensures that 1) the derivation doesn't change when Nix changes;
2) the derivation closure doesn't contain Nix and its dependencies; 3)
we don't have to rely on ugly chroot hacks.

Nicolas B. Pierron db21cfa688 Move attribute set data structures into their own header file.
This modification moves Attr and Bindings structures into their own header
file which is dedicated to the attribute set representation. The goal of to
isolate pieces of code which are related to the attribute set
representation. Thus future modifications of the attribute set
representation will only have to modify these files, and not every other
file across the evaluator.

Eelco Dolstra 920f5fd4dd Fix import-from-derivation in restricted eval mode
This relaxes restricted mode to allow access to anything in the
store. In the future, it would be better to allow access to only paths
that have been constructed in the current evaluation (so a hard-coded
/nix/store/blabla in a Nix expression would still be
rejected). However, note that reading /nix/store itself is still
rejected, so you can't use this so get access to things you don't know
about.

Eelco Dolstra 6519f06f39 nix-env/nix-instantiate/nix-build: Support URIs
For instance, you can install Firefox from a specific Nixpkgs revision
like this:

  $ nix-env -f 63def04891.tar.gz -iA firefox

Or build a package from the latest nixpkgs-unstable channel:

  $ nix-build https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz -A hello
2015-05-06 14:54:31 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra 9451ef3731 Allow URLs in the Nix search path
E.g. to install "hello" from the latest Nixpkgs:

  $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A hello -I nixpkgs=https://nixos.org/channels/nixpkgs-unstable/nixexprs.tar.xz

Or to install a specific version of NixOS:

  $ nixos-rebuild switch -I nixpkgs=63def04891.tar.gz

2015-04-09 11:42:04 +02:00
Eelco Dolstra 000b5a000f Add fetchTarball builtin
This function downloads and unpacks the given URL at evaluation
time. This is primarily intended to make it easier to deal with Nix
expressions that have external dependencies. For instance, to fetch
Nixpkgs 14.12:

  with import (fetchTarball https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels/archive/nixos-14.12.tar.gz) {};

Or to fetch a specific revision:

  with import (fetchTarball 2766a4b44e.tar.gz) {};

This patch also adds a ‘fetchurl’ builtin that downloads but doesn't
unpack its argument. Not sure if it's useful though.

This doesn't work anymore if the "strict" chroot mode is

that its closure is present in the chroot.

Eelco Dolstra 15d2d3c34e Add restricted evaluation mode
If ‘--option restrict-eval true’ is given, the evaluator will throw an

people doing ‘builtins.readFile ~/.ssh/id_dsa’ or stuff like that.

Shea Levy 320659b0cd Allow external code using libnixexpr to add types
Code that links to libnixexpr (e.g. plugins loaded with importNative, or
nix-exec) may want to provide custom value types and operations on
values of those types. For example, nix-exec is currently using sets
where a custom IO value type would be more appropriate. This commit
provides a generic hook for such types in the form of tExternal and the
ExternalBase virtual class, which contains all functions necessary for
libnixexpr's type-polymorphic functions (e.g. `showType`) to be
implemented.

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 ./.)

Eelco Dolstra 6bb4c0b712 mkList: Scrub better
Clearing v.app.right was not enough, because the length field of a
list only takes 32 bits, so the most significant 32 bits of v.app.left
(a.k.a. v.thunk.env) would remain. This could cause Boehm GC to
interpret it as a valid pointer.

This change reduces maximum RSS for evaluating the ‘tested’ job in
nixos/release-small.nix from 1.33 GiB to 0.80 GiB, and runtime by
about 8%.

Shea Levy 5cd022d6c0 Add importNative primop
This can be used to import a dynamic shared object and return an
arbitrary value, including new primops. This can be used both to test
new primops without having to recompile nix every time, and to build
specialized primops that probably don't belong upstream (e.g. a function
that calls out to gpg to decrypt a nixops secret as-needed).

The imported function should initialize the Value & as needed. A single
import can define multiple values by creating an attrset or list, of
course.

An example initialization function might look like:

extern "C" void initialize(nix::EvalState & state, nix::Value & v)
{
    v.type = nix::tPrimOp;
    v.primOp = NEW nix::PrimOp(myFun, 1, state.symbols.create("myFun"));
}

Then `builtins.importNative ./example.so "initialize"` will evaluate to
the primop defined in the myFun function.

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"; }
  ]
2014-05-26 14:55:47 +02:00
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.

Shea Levy 6f3a51809a Fold dynamic binds handling into addAttr
Since addAttr has to iterate through the AttrPath we pass it, it makes
more sense to just iterate through the AttrNames in addAttr instead. As
an added bonus, this allows attrsets where two dynamic attribute paths
have the same static leading part (see added test case for an example
that failed previously).

Shea Levy 18fefacf7d Dynamic attrs
This adds new syntax for attribute names:

* attrs."${name}" => getAttr name attrs
* attrs ? "${name}" => isAttrs attrs && hasAttr attrs name
* attrs."${name}" or def => if attrs ? "${name}" then attrs."${name}" else def
* { "${name}" = value; } => listToAttrs [{ inherit name value; }]

Of course, it's a bit more complicated than that. The attribute chains
can be arbitrarily long and contain combinations of static and dynamic
parts (e.g. attrs."${foo}".bar."${baz}" or qux), which is relatively
straightforward for the getAttrs/hasAttrs cases but is more complex for
the listToAttrs case due to rules about duplicate attribute definitions.

For attribute sets with dynamic attribute names, duplicate static
attributes are detected at parse time while duplicate dynamic attributes
are detected when the attribute set is forced. So, for example, { a =
null; a.b = null; "${"c"}" = true; } will be a parse-time error, while
{ a = {}; "${"a"}".b = null; c = true; } will be an eval-time error
(technically that case could theoretically be detected at parse time,
but the general case would require full evaluation). Moreover, duplicate
dynamic attributes are not allowed even in cases where they would be
with static attributes ({ a.b.d = true; a.b.c = false; } is legal, but {
a."${"b"}".d = true; a."${"b"}".c = false; } is not). This restriction
might be relaxed in the future in cases where the static variant would
not be an error, but it is not obvious that that is desirable.

Finally, recursive attribute sets with dynamic attributes have the
static attributes in scope but not the dynamic ones. So rec { a = true;
"${"b"}" = a; } is equivalent to { a = true; b = true; } but rec {
"${"a"}" = true; b = a; } would be an error or use a from the
surrounding scope if it exists.

Note that the getAttr, getAttr or default, and hasAttr are all
implemented purely in the parser as syntactic sugar, while attribute
sets with dynamic attribute names required changes to the AST to be
implemented cleanly.

This is an alternative solution to and closes #167

Shea Levy 136f2f7046 Add the ExprBuiltin Expr type to the AST
Certain desugaring schemes may require the parser to use some builtin
function to do some of the work (e.g. currently `throw` is used to
lazily cause an error if a `<>`-style path is not in the search path)
Unfortunately, these names are not reserved keywords, so an expression
that uses such a syntactic sugar will not see the expected behavior
(see tests/lang/eval-okay-redefine-builtin.nix for an example).

This adds the ExprBuiltin AST type, which when evaluated uses the value
from the rootmost variable scope (which of course is initialized
internally and can't shadow any of the builtins).

Eelco Dolstra ef4f5ba85e Work on Values instead of Exprs
This prevents some duplicate evaluation in nix-env and
nix-instantiate.

Also, when traversing ~/.nix-defexpr, only read regular files with the
extension .nix.  Previously it was reading files like
.../channels/binary-caches/<name>.  The only reason this didn't cause
problems is pure luck (namely, <name> shadows an actual Nix
expression, the binary-caches files happen to be syntactically valid
Nix expressions, and we iterate over the directory contents in just
the right order).

Eelco Dolstra 6f809194d7 Get rid of the parse tree cache
Since we already cache files in normal form (fileEvalCache), caching
parse trees is redundant.

Note that getting rid of this cache doesn't actually save much memory
at the moment, because parse trees are currently not freed / GC'ed.

Shea Levy afc6c1bad6 Simplify inherited attribute handling
This reduces the difference between inherited and non-inherited
attribute handling to the choice of which env to use (in recs and lets)
by setting the AttrDef::e to a new ExprVar in the parser rather than
carrying a separate AttrDef::v VarRef member.

As an added bonus, this allows inherited attributes that inherit from a
with to delay forcing evaluation of the with's attributes.

Shea Levy 20866a7031 Delay evaulation of with attrs until a variable lookup needs them
Evaluation of attribute sets is strict in the attribute names, which
means immediate evaluation of `with` attribute sets rules out some
potentially interesting use cases (e.g. where the attribute names of one
set depend in some way on another but we want to bring those names into
scope for some values in the second set).

The major example of this is overridable self-referential package sets
(e.g. all-packages.nix). With immediate `with` evaluation, the only
options for such sets are to either make them non-recursive and
explicitly use the name of the overridden set in non-overridden one
every time you want to reference another package, or make the set
recursive and use the `__overrides` hack. As shown in the test case that
comes with this commit, though, delayed `with` evaluation allows a nicer
third alternative.

Eelco Dolstra 5f18cd2e84 Make "${./path} ..." evaluate to a string, not a path
Wacky string coercion semantics caused expressions like

  exec = "${./my-script} params...";

to evaluate to a path (‘/path/my-script params’), because
anti-quotations are desuged to string concatenation:

  exec = ./my-script + " params...";

By constrast, adding a space at the start would yield a string as
expected:

  exec = " ${./my-script} params...";

Now the first example also evaluates to a string.

Eelco Dolstra 95c74eae26 Allow dashes in identifiers
In Nixpkgs, the attribute in all-packages.nix corresponding to a
package is usually equal to the package name.  However, this doesn't
work if the package contains a dash, which is fairly common.  The
convention is to replace the dash with an underscore (e.g. "dbus-lib"
becomes "dbus_glib"), but that's annoying.  So now dashes are valid in
variable / attribute names, allowing you to write:

  dbus-glib = callPackage ../development/libraries/dbus-glib { };

and

  buildInputs = [ dbus-glib ];

Since we don't have a negation or subtraction operation in Nix, this
is unambiguous.
