Eelco Dolstra bbfdd64741 * Allow primops with more that 1 arguments. 2004-08-04 10:59:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 59b94ee18a * When something goes wrong in the evaluation of a Nix expression, 
print a nice backtrace of the stack, rather than vomiting a gigantic
  (and useless) aterm on the screen.  Example:

    error: while evaluating file `.../pkgs/system/test.nix':
    while evaluating attribute `subversion' at `.../pkgs/system/all-packages-generic.nix', line 533:
    while evaluating function at `.../pkgs/applications/version-management/subversion/default.nix', line 1:
    assertion failed at `.../pkgs/applications/version-management/subversion/default.nix', line 13

  Since the Nix expression language is lazy, the trace may be
  misleading.  The purpose is to provide a hint as to the location of
  the problem.

Eelco Dolstra a520b1cbc3 * Print a more useful error message in case of an invalid derivation 
binding.
 2004-04-02 10:49:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f958bcdf1f * Added an operator `~' to select paths within a derivation. E.g., 
{stdenv, bash}: derivation {
      builder = bash ~ /bin/sh;
      args = ["-e" "-x" ./builder.sh];
      ...
    }

  Here the attribute `builder' will evaluate to, e.g.,
  `/nix/store/1234abcd...-bash-2.0.1/bin/sh'.

Eelco Dolstra db3e644c1c * Added plain lambdas, e.g., `let { id = x: x; const = x: y: x; }'. 
`bla:' is now no longer parsed as a URL.

* Re-enabled support for the `args' attribute in derivations to
  specify command line arguments to the builder, e.g.,

    ...
    builder = /usr/bin/python;
    args = ["-c" ./builder.py];
    ...

Eelco Dolstra 9b44480612 * Use a map to lookup primops. 
* Various performance improvements in the evaluator.
* Do not link against unused (and missing!) libraries (-lsglr, etc.).

Eelco Dolstra 1c9c0a5a46 * Added syntactic sugar to the construction of attribute sets to 
`inherit' variables from the surrounding lexical scope.

  E.g.,

    {stdenv, libfoo}: derivation {
      builder = ./bla;
      inherit stdenv libfoo;
      xyzzy = 1;
    }

  is equivalent to

    {stdenv, libfoo}: derivation {
      builder = ./bla;
      stdenv = stdenv;
      libfoo = libfoo;
      xyzzy = 1;
    }

  Note that for mutually recursive attribute set definitions (`rec
  {...}'), this also works, that is, `rec {inherit x;}' is equivalent
  to `let {fresh = x; body = rec {x = fresh;};}', *not*
  `rec {x = x}'.

Eelco Dolstra 6e8c19714a * Allow integer bindings in derivations. 2003-11-25 12:05:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 06208d1d86 * Uninstallation. 2003-11-21 14:23:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ac68840e79 * Refactoring: put the Nix expression evaluator in its own library so 
that it can be used by multiple programs.
