Eelco Dolstra 0a623a10c7 * Allow a default value in attribute selection by writing
x.y.z or default

  (as originally proposed in
  https://mail.cs.uu.nl/pipermail/nix-dev/2009-September/002989.html).

  For instance, an expression like

    stdenv.lib.attrByPath ["features" "ckSched"] false args

  can now be written as

    args.features.ckSched or false

Eelco Dolstra 2b9e29b1c8 * Change the right-hand side of the ‘.’ operator from an attribute to
an attribute path.  This is a refactoring to support default values.
2011-07-06 12:28:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5637037802 * In the ‘?’ operator, allow attribute paths. For instance, you can
write ‘attrs ? a.b’ to test whether ‘attrs’ has an attribute ‘a’
  containing an attribute ‘b’.  This is more convenient than ‘attrs ?
  a && attrs.a ? b’.

  Slight change in the semantics: it's no longer an error if the
  left-hand side of ‘?’ is not an attribute set.  In that case it just
  returns false.  So, ‘null ? foo’ no longer throws an error.

Ludovic Courtès 5c9e9f732d Add support for the build-timeout' and --timeout' options. 2011-06-30 15:19:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8c69dac8a1 * Handle error messages from the Nix worker containing the `%'
character.  (Nix/216)
2011-04-19 10:44:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4ba6afaf48 * nix-env -ub' (--prebuilt-only') didn't really work because it
checked too soon whether substitutes are available.  That is, it did
  so for every available package, rather than those matching installed
  packages.  This was very slow and subject to assertion failures.  So
  do the check much later.  Idem for `nix-env -qab' and `nix-env -ib'.
2011-04-11 16:27:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 538b7caab0 * Don't allocate a big initial GC address space on machines with
little RAM.  Even if the memory isn't actually used, it can cause
  problems with the overcommit heuristics in the kernel.  So use a VM
  space of 25% of RAM, up to 384 MB.
2011-02-10 14:31:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5a6b039802 * Don't call GC_expand_hp unless we're actually using the garbage
collector.
2011-02-09 22:59:50 +00:00
Ludovic Courtès f1462c208b Use $BDW_GC_LIBS instead of a custom variable. 2011-02-09 21:23:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 543988572e * Sync with the trunk. 2011-02-09 12:25:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra aeae0beba4 * Clang compatibility fix. Clang actually checks template definitions
when they are defined
2011-02-05 16:29:10 +00:00
Ludovic Courtès 3854fc9b42 Remove useless <config.h> inclusion from public header. 2011-01-14 13:55:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9db190eb31 * builtins.substring: if "start" is beyond the end of the string,
return the empty string.
2011-01-14 12:47:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c931a7aec5 * Do a short sleep after SQLITE_BUSY. 2010-12-17 17:23:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b1eb252172 * Propagate the "100" exit status for failed builds through the Nix
daemon.
2010-12-17 11:28:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3dd02580e3 * I forgot to catch SQLiteBusy in registerValidPaths(). So
registerValidPaths() now handles busy errors and registerValidPath()
  is simply a wrapper around it.
2010-12-14 13:25:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d787285af9 * nix-instantiate: return exit status 100 to denote a permanent build
failure.  The build hook can use this to distinguish between
  transient and permanent failures on the remote side.
2010-12-13 16:53:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5833243c92 * Create /nix/var/nix/db if it's missing. 2010-12-13 13:42:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 100becf8d1 * createDirs(path): if path already exists, make sure it's a
directory.
* Provide a C++ wrapper around lstat().
2010-12-13 13:32:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d7ca6f44eb * Update some comments. 2010-12-13 13:19:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e4720b1a79 * Ignore the result of sqlite3_reset(). 2010-12-08 18:19:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8062d3af30 * `nix-store --verify --check-contents': don't hold the global GC lock
while checking the contents, since this operation can take a very
  long time to finish.  Also, fill in missing narSize fields in the DB
  while doing this.
2010-12-06 15:29:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra de79d23f76 * Retry a transaction if SQLite returns SQLITE_BUSY. This can happen
even with a very long busy timeout, because SQLITE_BUSY is also
  returned to resolve deadlocks.  This should get rid of random
  "database is locked" errors.  This is kind of hard to test though.
* Fix a horrible bug in deleteFromStore(): deletePathWrapped() should
  be called after committing the transaction, not before, because the
  commit might not succeed.
2010-12-05 18:23:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 77f7a6d591 * Quick hack around one of the pathological cases in bsdiff
(namely, when there is a long region of 0s).  On one 86 MiB
  case, this cut patch generation time from 44m to 2m.
2010-11-29 17:07:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 703e5a2ce2 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-11-25 14:09:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 812fae424e * DrvInfo contains pointers to expressions, so DrvInfos should be
traced by the garbage collector.  Otherwise "nix-env -u" can crash
  randomly.
2010-11-25 13:47:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bdf089f463 * Before a build, show the disk space that the downloaded store paths
will approximately require.
2010-11-17 14:31:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e60c962fb8 * Add an operation `nix-store -q --size'. 2010-11-17 12:40:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1db6259076 * Implement RemoteStore::queryPathInfo(). 2010-11-17 12:08:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a3883cbd28 * Store the size of a store path in the database (to be precise, the
size of the NAR serialisation of the path, i.e., `nix-store --dump
  PATH').  This is useful for Hydra.
2010-11-16 17:11:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fb9368b5a0 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-11-16 12:49:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 26def5392f * Document Boehm GC support. 2010-10-29 14:44:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 14fbf85380 * Set libgc's initial heap size to 384 MiB to prevent garbage
collection in most cases (and therefore its performance overhead).
2010-10-29 13:11:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0c4828ea05 * new(UseGC) is inexplicably slower than GC_MALLOC, so prefer the
latter.
2010-10-28 12:50:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e11e6fb1c6 * Handle out of memory condition. 2010-10-28 12:29:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 43535499f3 * When allocating an attribute set, reserve enough space for all
elements.  This prevents the vector from having to resize itself.
2010-10-24 20:09:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e0b7fb8f27 * Keep attribute sets in sorted order to speed up attribute lookups.
* Simplify the representation of attributes in the AST.
* Change the behaviour of listToAttrs() in case of duplicate names.
2010-10-24 19:52:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2dc6d50941 * Don't create thunks for variable lookups (if possible). This
significantly reduces the number of values allocated (e.g. from 8.7m
  to 4.9m for the Bittorrent test).
2010-10-24 14:20:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0b305c534f * Store attribute sets as a vector instead of a map (i.e. a red-black
tree).  This saves a lot of memory.  The vector should be sorted so
  that names can be looked up using binary search, but this is not the
  case yet.  (Surprisingly, looking up attributes using linear search
  doesn't have a big impact on performance.)

  Memory consumption for

    $ nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos/tests -A bittorrent.test --readonly-mode

  on x86_64-linux with GC enabled is now 185 MiB (compared to 946
  MiB on the trunk).
2010-10-24 00:41:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a247d20604 * Fix compiling without Boehm.
* Fix the stats.
2010-10-23 22:58:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b2ba62170c * Optimise string constants by putting them in the symbol table. 2010-10-23 21:11:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8ac06726b9 * Make Value smaller by not storing redundant PrimOp info.
* Clear pointers in Values after overwriting them to make sure that no
  objects are kept alive unnecessarily.
2010-10-23 20:07:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3f66cfb96b * Remove allocValues(). 2010-10-23 18:18:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4dee289550 * In environments, store pointers to values rather than values. This
improves GC effectiveness a bit more (because a live value doesn't
  keep other values in the environment plus the parent environments
  alive), and removes the need for copy nodes.
2010-10-22 15:51:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 41c45a9b31 * Store Value nodes outside of attribute sets. I.e., Attr now stores
a pointer to a Value, rather than the Value directly.  This improves
  the effectiveness of garbage collection a lot: if the Value is
  stored inside the set directly, then any live pointer to the Value
  causes all other attributes in the set to be live as well.
2010-10-22 14:47:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 64c3325b0b * Make building against the Boehm GC a configure option. 2010-10-22 13:39:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 76feaf016a * Keep some more stats. 2010-10-20 15:48:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e879a0371b * Use the Boehm garbage collector to reclaim unused memory in the Nix
expression evaluator.
2010-10-20 11:38:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 64fd29855a * Wrap deleteFromStore() in a transaction. Otherwise there might be a
race with other processes that add new referrers to a path,
  resulting in the garbage collector crashing with "foreign key
  constraint failed".  (Nix/4)
* Make --gc --print-dead etc. interruptible.
2010-10-14 15:55:51 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 705868a8a9 * Make sure that config.h is included before the system headers,
because it defines _FILE_OFFSET_BITS.  Without this, on 
  OpenSolaris the system headers define it to be 32, and then 
  the 32-bit stat() ends up being called with a 64-bit "struct 
  stat", or vice versa.

  This also ensures that we get 64-bit file sizes everywhere.

* Remove the redundant call to stat() in parseExprFromFile().
  The file cannot be a symlink because that's the exit condition
  of the loop before.
2010-10-04 17:55:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 95f4f2cf61 * If std::tr1::unordered_set is unavailable, use std::set. 2010-10-04 16:16:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 71dfe4b90b * Sync with the trunk. 2010-10-04 11:44:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 450837bcc8 * In printMsg(), ignore failing writes to stderr if we're in an
exception handler, otherwise throw an exception.  We need to ignore
  write errors in exception handlers to ensure that cleanup code runs
  to completion if the other side of stderr has been closed
  unexpectedly.
2010-10-04 11:23:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4aa9245083 * Hack needed for GCC 4.3.2 on OpenSolaris. 2010-10-04 10:51:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 923736df38 * Doh. Remove debug message. 2010-09-14 12:47:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e4907411c2 * Only do "pragma journal_mode = ..." if the current journal mode
differs from the desired mode.  There is an open SQLite ticket
  `Executing "PRAGMA journal_mode" may delete journal file while it is
  in use.'
2010-09-01 11:36:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bf0dde9597 * Always print hook output on stderr, even if --no-build-output is
set.
* In the build hook, print a trace message to allow Hydra to pick up
  the name of the remote machine used for the build.
2010-08-31 12:36:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e2e168f7c2 `nix-store --verify' improvements:
* If a path has disappeared, check its referrers first, and don't try
  to invalidate paths that have valid referrers.  Otherwise we get a
  foreign key constraint violation.
* Read the whole Nix store directory instead of statting each valid
  path, which is slower.
* Acquire the global GC lock.
2010-08-31 11:47:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 80e722278c * When using the build hook, distinguish between the stderr of the
hook script proper, and the stdout/stderr of the builder.  Only the
  latter should be saved in /nix/var/log/nix/drvs.
* Allow the verbosity to be set through an option.
* Added a flag --quiet to lower the verbosity level.
2010-08-30 14:53:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 20acd43c25 * Disable the GC reachability check for now (when creating new roots),
as it's hopelessly inefficient.
2010-08-30 14:11:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 766f708418 * Experimental feature: allow a derivation to tell the build hook that
it requires a certain feature on the build machine, e.g.

    requiredSystemFeatures = [ "kvm" ];

  We need this in Hydra to make sure that builds that require KVM
  support are forwarded to machines that have KVM support.  Probably
  this should also be enforced for local builds.
2010-08-27 13:18:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra df50916e46 * Oops - "null" was displayed as "true". 2010-08-27 12:10:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e437b08250 * Made the build hook mechanism more efficient. Rather than starting
the hook every time we want to ask whether we can run a remote build
  (which can be very often), we now reuse a hook process for answering
  those queries until it accepts a build.  So if there are N
  derivations to be built, at most N hooks will be started.
2010-08-25 20:44:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 034f608e00 * Don't complain if the stored hash of a path is zero (unknown). 2010-08-24 14:25:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f58f51f380 * Handle the unlikely case where a derivation has no dependencies at
all.
2010-08-24 11:45:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 955d11aae7 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-08-24 09:56:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6846ed8b44 * Make --cores work when building through the Nix daemon. 2010-08-12 09:21:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 587dc8aa00 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-08-04 17:48:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fd9c77dfc7 * Use SQLite 3.7.0's write-ahead logging (WAL mode). This is a lot
faster than the old mode when fsyncs are enabled, because it only
  performs an fsync() when doing a checkpoint, rather than at every
  commit.  Some timings for doing a "nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos
  -A system" after modifying the stdenv setup script:

    42.5s - SQLite 3.6.23 with truncate mode and fsync
     3.4s - SQLite 3.6.23 with truncate mode and no fsync
    32.1s - SQLite 3.7.0 with truncate mode and fsync
    16.8s - SQLite 3.7.0 with WAL mode and fsync, auto-checkpoint
            every 1000 pages
     8.3s - SQLite 3.7.0 with WAL mode and fsync, auto-checkpoint
            every 8192 pages
     1.7s - SQLite 3.7.0 with WAL mode and no fsync

  The default is now to use WAL mode with fsyncs.  Because WAL doesn't
  work on remote filesystems such as NFS (as it uses shared memory),
  truncate mode can be re-enabled by setting the "use-sqlite-wal"
  option to false.
2010-08-04 17:35:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 750be19ae8 * Remove "auto" and "guess" as synonyms for 0 in the handling of
build-cores and --cores.  They're superfluous and just complicate
  the parsing.
2010-08-04 12:23:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7f893b7a43 * Allow derivations to hint that they should not be built remotely
using the build hook mechanism, by setting the derivation attribute
  "preferLocalBuild" to true.  This has a few use cases:

  - The user environment builder.  Since it just creates a bunch of
    symlinks without much computation, there is no reason to do it
    remotely.  In fact, doing it remotely requires the entire closure
    of the user environment to be copied to the remote machine, which
    is extremely wasteful.

  - `fetchurl'.  Performing the download on a remote machine and then
    copying it to the local machine involves twice as much network
    traffic as performing the download locally, and doesn't save any
    CPU cycles on the local machine.
2010-08-04 12:13:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 315d8fbd75 * Set the default system filter to "*". This ensures that (for
instance) "nix-env -i wine" works on x86_64-linux, even though Wine
  is built on i686-linux.  In the event that there are multiple
  matching derivations, prefer those built for the current system.
2010-08-04 09:32:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6d6200f37a * Optimisation in the // operator: if one of the sets is empty, return
the other set.
2010-08-02 16:31:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7af6a2fd71 * intersectAttrs: optimise for the case where the second set is larger
than the first set.  (That's usually the case with callPackage.)
2010-08-02 11:54:44 +00:00
Peter Simons 7e043d28a6 src/bsdiff-4.3/Makefile.am: include the 'compat-include' directory in distribution tarballs 2010-07-15 14:35:20 +00:00
Peter Simons af09fe12dd Fix build of bsdiff-4.3 on machines that don't have <err.h>, such as Solaris. 2010-06-24 17:51:31 +00:00
Peter Simons bcec46057c src/libutil/util.cc: include <limit.h> to ensure that PATH_MAX is defined 2010-06-24 17:51:13 +00:00
Peter Simons a17071fef1 Include <cstring> to ensure that strcpy(), strlen(), and memset() are declared.
An "using namespace std" was added locally in those functions that refer to
names from <cstring>. That is not pretty, but it's a very portable solution,
because strcpy() and friends will be found in both the 'std' and in the global
namespace.
2010-06-24 17:51:04 +00:00
Peter Simons 8b7f8b56f1 Added support for passing an (impure) NIX_BUILD_CORES variable to build expressions.
This patch adds the configuration file variable "build-cores" and the
command line argument "--cores". These settings specify the number of
CPU cores to utilize for parallel building within a job, i.e. by passing
an appropriate "-j" flag to GNU Make. The default value is 1, which
means that parallel building is *disabled*. If the number of build cores
is specified as 0 (synonymously: "guess" or "auto"), then the actual
value is supposed to be auto-detected by builders at run-time, i.e by
calling the nproc(1) utility from coreutils.

The environment variable $NIX_BUILD_CORES is available to builders, but
the contents of that variable does *not* influence the hash that goes
into the $out store path, i.e. the number of build cores to be utilized
can be changed at will without requiring any re-builds.
2010-06-23 14:34:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3e5e0faf9c * Okay, putting a lock on the temporary directory used by importPath()
doesn't work because the garbage collector doesn't actually look at
  locks.  So r22253 was stupid.  Use addTempRoot() instead.  Also,
  locking the temporary directory in exportPath() was silly because it
  isn't even in the store.
2010-06-21 11:08:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bf87cc44b4 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-06-21 07:55:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b57189174f * In importPath() and exportPath(), lock the temporary directory to
prevent it from being deleted by the garbage collector.
2010-06-14 08:34:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f16fe2af8d * builtins.toXML: propagate the string context. This is a regression
from the old ATerm-based evaluator.
2010-06-10 10:29:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d1f6c0cbe3 * Replacing ValidPath rows doesn't work because it causes a constraint
violation of the Refs table.  So don't do that.
2010-06-08 13:38:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 07ca66cf24 * Applied a patch from David Brown to prevent `nix-store --optimise'
from failing on rename() on BtrFS.
2010-06-04 13:56:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1ab67cf437 2010-06-02 09:43:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 89865da76d * Turn build errors during evaluation into EvalErrors. 2010-06-01 11:19:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a443c7573b * Hack to allow derivations to disable chroot builds by setting the
attribute "__noChroot = true" (requested by Rob).
2010-06-01 10:01:14 +00:00
Ludovic Courtès 8bcdd36f10 Add XML output to `nix-store'.

fast-eval branch.
2010-05-15 08:10:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra aa45027818 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-05-12 22:13:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bd25ac2260 * Print attributes in sorted order. 2010-05-12 12:15:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 81a4b4e49b * Implemented tryEval, the last missing primop in the fast-eval
branch.  Also added a test for tryEval.

Eelco Dolstra 1a8eb6e3ec 2010-05-07 15:26:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 83dfa89870 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-05-07 14:46:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 01e58adce0 * Store position info for inherited attributes. 2010-05-07 12:43:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 83d7b89660 * Updated addErrorContext. 2010-05-07 12:33:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e2d5e40f4f * Keep track of the source positions of attributes. 2010-05-07 12:11:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 84ce7ac76f * Store attribute positions in the AST and report duplicate attribute
errors with position info.
* For all positions, use the position of the first character of the
  first token, rather than the last character of the first token plus
  one.
2010-05-06 16:46:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a0e3b84fac * Revert r15436. This was a workaround for a bug in btrfs which seems
to have been fixed now.
2010-05-04 12:42:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f92c9a0ac5 * Allow unprivileged users to do `nix-store --clear-failed-paths' and
`nix-store --query-failed-paths'.
2010-05-04 10:45:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c82782f9a5 2010-04-27 09:05:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ef337f7089 2010-04-26 12:58:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6199f9b93e * Added a command `nix-store --clear-failed-paths <PATHS>' to clear
the "failed" status of the given store paths.  The special value `*'
  clears all failed paths.
2010-04-26 12:56:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2398af13c5 * Add an command `nix-store --query-failed-paths' to list the cached
failed paths (when using the `build-cache-failure' option).
2010-04-26 12:43:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2be6118f4c * Don't need the test program anymore. 2010-04-23 09:09:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0bc468f195 * Simplify the implementation of `with'. This gives a 7% speedup in
evaluating the NixOS system configuration.
2010-04-22 15:08:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ebade9ff8b * Check for duplicate attribute names / function arguments. `make
check' now succeeds :-)
* An attribute set such as `{ foo = { enable = true; };
  foo.port = 23; }' now parses.  It was previously rejected, but I'm
  too lazy to implement the check.  (The only reason to reject it is
  that the reverse, `{ foo.port = 23; foo = { enable = true; }; }', is
  rejected, which is kind of ugly.)
2010-04-22 11:02:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2d7636529f * String equality tests should take the context into account. All the
evaluation test cases now succeed.
2010-04-22 09:54:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6bbfe95e30 * Don't use an ostringstream in unparseDerivation(), because it's
slow.  A `nix-env -qa --drv-path \*' on Nixpkgs was spending 40% of
  its time in unparseDerivation() because of this (now 11%).
2010-04-21 19:25:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6f0f16497a * Fix the interpretation of ''\<character> in indented strings. 2010-04-21 16:18:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0777448ca6 * Fixed builtins.genericClosure. 2010-04-21 15:57:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fe2d869e04 * Store user environment manifests as a Nix expression in
$out/manifest.nix rather than as an ATerm.

  (Hm, I thought I committed this two days ago...)
2010-04-21 15:08:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d66ea83a76 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-04-20 09:20:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra f3b8833a48 * Drop the dependency on the ATerm library. 2010-04-19 14:51:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra efc7a579e8 * Don't use the ATerm library for parsing/printing .drv files. 2010-04-19 13:46:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 55b5ddd3ca * Added parsing of manifests in ATerm format. 2010-04-19 12:10:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b7ff69eb7c * Refactoring: move the user environment stuff into its own module. 2010-04-19 10:47:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5c31995bb8 * Updated some more primops. 2010-04-16 15:13:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8bb0210fea * _combineChannels shouldn't be an integer. 2010-04-16 14:07:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8ca4a001cb * Improve sharing a bit. 2010-04-16 14:03:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 497e4ad126 * Remove some redundant tests. 2010-04-16 13:51:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 02c1dac909 * In an nested with' where the inner with is a variable (with ...;
with someVar; ...'), the contents of the variable would be
  clobbered.  (The attributes in the outer `with' were added to the
  variable.)
2010-04-16 13:44:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 04c4bd3624 * Store lists as lists of pointers to values rather than as lists of
values.  This improves sharing and gives another speed up.
  Evaluation of the NixOS system attribute is now almost 7 times
  faster than the old evaluator.
2010-04-15 00:37:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e41b5828db * Better stats. 2010-04-14 23:48:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d39d3c6264 * Implemented inherit. 2010-04-14 23:25:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 267dc693d2 * Fix builtins. 2010-04-14 22:59:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 81de12bc8f * Refactoring: move variable uses to a separate class. 2010-04-14 15:14:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 110d155778 * Implemented withs. 2010-04-14 15:01:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9985230c00 * After parsing, compute level/displacement pairs for each variable
use site, allowing environments to be stores as vectors of values
  rather than maps.  This should speed up evaluation and reduce the
  number of allocations.
2010-04-14 14:42:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 816dd3f061 * Remove more obsolete code. 2010-04-14 12:49:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 011b5da0f4 * Get nix-env to compile again. 2010-04-14 09:39:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 85d13c8f93 * Change the semantics of "with" so that inner "withs" take
precedence, i.e. `with {x=1;}; with {x=2;}; x' evaluates to 2'.
  This has a simpler implementation and seems more natural.  There
  doesn't seem to be any code in Nixpkgs or NixOS that relies on the
  old behaviour.
2010-04-14 08:37:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 816f9c0f6f * Use std::tr1::unordered_set instead of std::set for the symbol
table.  This gives a 10% speed increase on `nix-instantiate
  /etc/nixos/nixos -A system --readonly-mode'.
2010-04-13 14:34:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7d47498b5e * Evaluate lets directly (i.e. without desugaring to `rec { attrs...;
<let-body> = e; }.<let-body>).  This prevents the unnecessary
  allocation of an attribute set.
2010-04-13 13:42:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ac1e8f40d4 * Use a symbol table to represent identifiers and attribute names
efficiently.  The symbol table ensures that there is only one copy
  of each symbol, thus allowing symbols to be compared efficiently
  using a pointer equality test.
2010-04-13 12:25:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 10e8b1fd15 * Finished the ATerm-less parser. 2010-04-12 23:33:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0d272fca79 * Remove some obsolete functions. 2010-04-12 23:31:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d4f0b0fc6c * Indented strings. 2010-04-12 22:03:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a60317f20f * More missing constructs. 2010-04-12 21:21:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4d6ad5be17 * Don't use ATerms for the abstract syntax trees anymore. Not
finished yet.
2010-04-12 18:30:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ed711f73bc * Don't use ATerms to represent integers in the lexer. 2010-04-12 10:38:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra db90b88e65 * Hack to support builderDefs expressions. 2010-04-12 09:50:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4e49002576 * Doh. 2010-04-12 09:45:00 +00:00
