Eelco Dolstra 4c755c3b3f Merge branch 'issue-3505' of https://github.com/kamadorueda/nix 2022-02-04 00:33:13 +01:00
pennae d439dceb3b optionally return string_view from coerceToString
we'll retain the old coerceToString interface that returns a string, but callers
that don't need the returned value to outlive the Value it came from can save
copies by using the new interface instead. for values that weren't stringy we'll
pass a new buffer argument that'll be used for storage and shouldn't be
inspected.

forceValue: make pos mandatory
- Make passing the position to `forceValue` mandatory,
  this way we remember people that the position is
  important for better error messages
- Add pos to all `forceValue` calls

toJSON: report error position for fancier output
Given flake:

```nix
{ description = "nix json error provenance";
  inputs = {};
  outputs = { self }: {
    jsonFunction = _: "function";
    json = builtins.toJSON (_: "function");
  };
}

```
- Before:

```console
❯ nix eval --json .#jsonFunction
error: cannot convert a function to JSON
```

- After:

```console
❯ nix eval --json .#jsonFunction
error: cannot convert a function to JSON

            5|     json = builtins.toJSON (_: "function");

Eelco Dolstra df552a2645 nix eval: Add option to write a directory
This is useful for generating the nix manpages, but it may have other
applications (like generating configuration files without a Nix store).

Eelco Dolstra 85c8be6286 Remove static variable name clashes
This was useful for an experiment with building Nix as a single
compilation unit. It's not very useful otherwise but also doesn't
hurt...

Eelco Dolstra ca8caaec5e nix: Add --expr flag
This replaces the '(...)' installable syntax, which is not very
discoverable. The downside is that you can't have multiple expressions
or mix expressions and other installables.

nix eval: Add a --raw flag
Similar to "jq -r", this prints the evaluation result (which must be a
string value) unquoted.

Add "nix eval" command
This replaces "nix-instantiate --eval". The result is evaluated
strictly since this seems more useful.
