Eelco Dolstra 5bc41d78ff Rename "attribute sets" to "sets"
We don't have any other kind of sets so calling them attribute sets is
unnecessarily verbose.

Eelco Dolstra 05d02f798f Add a typeOf primop
We already have some primops for determining the type of a value, such
as isString, but they're incomplete: for instance, there is no isPath.
Rather than adding more isBla functions, the generic typeOf function
returns a string representing the type of the argument (e.g. "int").

Eelco Dolstra fe95650487 Memoize evalFile() lookups under both the original and resolved name
Previously we only used the resolved name, causing repeated resolution

Eelco Dolstra 792fd51f41 Fold two stack trace messages in derivations
Combined with the previous changes, stack traces involving derivations
are now much less verbose, since something like

  while evaluating the builtin function `getAttr':
  while evaluating the builtin function `derivationStrict':
  while instantiating the derivation named `gtk+-2.24.20' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/gtk+/2.x.nix:11:3':
  while evaluating the derivation attribute `propagatedNativeBuildInputs' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/stdenv/generic/default.nix:78:17':
  while evaluating the attribute `outPath' at `/nix/store/212ngf4ph63mp6p1np2bapkfikpakfv7-nix-1.6/share/nix/corepkgs/derivation.nix:18:9':
  ...

now reads

  while evaluating the attribute `propagatedNativeBuildInputs' of the derivation `gtk+-2.24.20' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/gtk+/2.x.nix:11:3':

are redundant, because Nix already shows that it's evaluating a derivation:

  while instantiating the derivation named `firefox-24.0' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/applications/networking/browsers/firefox/default.nix:131:5':

Eelco Dolstra d6a7aa8f48 Revert the behaviour of antiquoted paths to pre-Nix 1.6
Commit 159e621d1a accidentally changed
the behaviour of antiquoted paths, e.g.

  "${/foo}/bar"

used to evaluate to "/nix/store/<hash>-foo/bar" (where /foo gets
copied to the store), but in Nix 1.6 it evaluates to "/foo/bar".  This
is inconsistent, since

  " ${/foo}/bar"

evaluates to " /nix/store/<hash>-foo/bar".  So revert to the old
behaviour.

Eelco Dolstra b1e3b1a4ac Treat undefined variable errors consistently
Previously, a undefined variable inside a "with" caused an EvalError
(which can be caught), while outside, it caused a ParseError (which
cannot be caught).  Now both cause an UndefinedVarError (which cannot
be caught).

Eelco Dolstra 6b47de580f Show the exact position of undefined variables
In particular, undefined variable errors in a "with" previously didn't
show *any* position information, so this should help a lot in those
cases.

Eelco Dolstra c945f015de Fix segfault in nix-repl / hydra-eval-jobs
If a "with" attribute set fails to evaluate, we have to make sure its
Env record remains unchanged.  Otherwise, repeated evaluation gives a
segfault:

  nix-repl> :a with 0; { a = x; b = x; }
  Added 2 variables.

  nix-repl> a
  error: value is an integer while an attribute set was expected

  nix-repl> b
  Segmentation fault

Eelco Dolstra 07a08bddf0 nix-env: Load files in ~/.nix-defexpr on demand

parsed/evaluated at all.

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.

Eelco Dolstra 0a470fc345 Make Env smaller
Commit 20866a7031 added a ‘withAttrs’
field to Env, which is annoying because it makes every Env structure
bigger and we allocate millions of them.  E.g. NixOS evaluation took
18 MiB more.  So this commit squeezes ‘withAttrs’ into values[0].
Probably should use a union...

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.
