Eelco Dolstra c11839d7b2 * `nix-instantiate --print-args': print out the valid values for
functions arguments that have a domain.
2006-07-28 14:01:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 57751fdb55 * Refactoring to support domain checks. 2006-07-24 15:16:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4f3725b167 * Better error messages (especially wrt types). 2006-07-19 15:36:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0832956089 * Use the new ATermMap. 2006-05-04 12:21:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 68174bdc7d * Use a linked list of substitutions. This reduces the amount of
copying.

Eelco Dolstra fa72ae1e9c * GCC 4.1 compatibility. 2006-03-06 14:40:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 426593162e * ATermMap needs an assignment operator, otherwise we are screwed. 2005-05-08 10:28:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c9c58dba55 * Primop `__currentSystem' to return the current platform identifier. 2005-04-10 17:38:19 +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 9fa07b376d * String/path concatenation operator (`+'). 2004-10-26 17:01:35 +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.

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 c4f7ae4aa5 * Verify that all variables in a Nix expression are defined. 2004-02-03 14:45:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra ac68840e79 * Refactoring: put the Nix expression evaluator in its own library so
that it can be used by multiple programs.
