Eelco Dolstra 7e8961f720 * Added SHA-1 support. nix-hash' now has an option --type sha1' to 
select SHA-1 hashing.
 2005-01-13 17:39:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 73992371a3 * Refactoring to support SHA-1. 2005-01-13 15:44:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra cb7ccb528b * string2ATerm -> overloaded toATerm. 2004-11-03 18:12:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a69534fc21 * Drop ATmake / ATMatcher also in handling store expressions. 2004-10-29 11:22:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5fe9222b36 * Don't use ATmake / ATmatch anymore, nor the ATMatcher class. 
Instead we generate data bindings (build and match functions) for
  the constructors specified in `constructors.def'.  In particular
  this removes the conversions between AFuns and strings, and Nix
  expression evaluation now seems 3 to 4 times faster.

Eelco Dolstra eb8284ddaa * Evaluate argument to `import'. 2004-10-26 17:10:09 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9fa07b376d * String/path concatenation operator (`+'). 2004-10-26 17:01:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 37d7abd694 * New language feature: with expressions. 
The expression `with E1; E2' evaluates to E2 with all bindings in
  the attribute set E1 substituted.  E.g.,

    with {x = 123;}; x

  evaluates to 123.  That is, the attribute set E1 is in scope in E2.

  This is particularly useful when importing files containing lots
  definitions.  E.g., instead of

    let {
      inherit (import ./foo.nix) a b c d e f;

      body = ... a ... f ...;
    }

  we can now say

    with import ./foo.nix;

    ... a ... f ...

  I.e., we don't have to say what variables should be brought into scope.

Eelco Dolstra f4d44a0026 * Allow certain operations to succeed even if we don't have write 
permission to the Nix store or database.  E.g., `nix-env -qa' will
  work, but `nix-env -qas' won't (the latter needs DB access).  The
  option `--readonly-mode' forces this mode; otherwise, it's only
  activated when the database cannot be opened.

Eelco Dolstra 9994c1dd9f * Validate derivation names. In particular don't allow spaces. 
* Drop support for the outPath attribute in derivations.
 2004-08-24 11:46:05 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d8989b1fb4 * Every real language has a `map' function. 2004-08-04 11:27:53 +00:00
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.
 2004-04-05 22:27:41 +00:00
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'.
 2004-03-28 20:58:28 +00:00
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];
    ...
 2004-03-28 20:34:22 +00:00
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.).
 2004-02-04 16:03:29 +00:00
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.
