Eelco Dolstra	5011588459	* printTermAsXML: treat derivations specially; emit an element ... <derivation outPath=... drvPath=...> attrs </derivation>. Only emit the attributes of any specific derivation only. This prevents exponententially large XML output due to the absense of sharing.	2007-01-13 15:11:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	792878af91	* Make printing an expression as XML interruptible.	2007-01-13 14:48:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	11158028be	* Cleanup.	2007-01-13 14:21:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	d7efd76394	* Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, string ... concatenation and string coercion. This was a big mess (see e.g. NIX-67). Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected. The semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def). toString() and coerceToString() have been merged. Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the formalisation of the meaning of a path). So "foo " + ./bla evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo /path/to/current-dir/bla". This prevents accidental impurities, and is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g., `"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation. (Here `bla' would be replaced by the output path of `bla'.)	2006-10-16 15:55:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	7d4567f2cc	* Removed URIs from the evaluator (NIX-66). They are now just another ... kind of notation for strings.	2006-10-11 21:59:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	5fd44654db	* toXML: propagate the context to allow derivations to be used in the ... argument.	2006-10-03 15:38:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	75068e7d75	* Use a proper namespace. ... * Optimise header file usage a bit. * Compile the parser as C++.	2006-09-04 21:06:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra	f793caf936	* Refactoring.	2006-08-24 14:16:55 +00:00
