Eelco Dolstra 93227ff65c * Eliminate all uses of the global variable ‘store’ from libstore.
This should also fix:

    nix-instantiate: ./../boost/shared_ptr.hpp:254: T* boost::shared_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T = nix::StoreAPI]: Assertion `px != 0' failed.

  which was caused by hashDerivationModulo() calling the ‘store’
  object (during store upgrades) before openStore() assigned it.

Eelco Dolstra 1ecc97b6bd * Add a Nix expression search path feature. Paths between angle
brackets, e.g.

    import <nixpkgs/pkgs/lib>

  are resolved by looking them up relative to the elements listed in
  the search path.  This allows us to get rid of hacks like

    import "${builtins.getEnv "NIXPKGS_ALL"}/pkgs/lib"

  The search path can be specified through the ‘-I’ command-line flag
  and through the colon-separated ‘NIX_PATH’ environment variable,
  e.g.,

    $ nix-build -I /etc/nixos ...

  If a file is not found in the search path, an error message is
  lazily thrown.

Eelco Dolstra 54945a2950 * Refactoring: move parseExprFromFile() and parseExprFromString() into
the EvalState class.
2011-08-06 13:02:55 +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'.

Eelco Dolstra fb9368b5a0 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-11-16 12:49:47 +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 3f66cfb96b * Remove allocValues(). 2010-10-23 18:18:07 +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.

Eelco Dolstra 64c3325b0b * Make building against the Boehm GC a configure option. 2010-10-22 13:39:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e879a0371b * Use the Boehm garbage collector to reclaim unused memory in the Nix
expression evaluator.

Eelco Dolstra 71dfe4b90b * Sync with the trunk. 2010-10-04 11:44:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 923736df38 * Doh. Remove debug message. 2010-09-14 12:47:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 587dc8aa00 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-08-04 17:48:29 +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.

Eelco Dolstra 7343e6c8ae * Remove an accidentally committed debug statement. 2010-05-30 20:29:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra aa45027818 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-05-12 22:13:09 +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.

Eelco Dolstra c82782f9a5 2010-04-27 09:05:11 +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 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 8bb0210fea * _combineChannels shouldn't be an integer. 2010-04-16 14:07:52 +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 011b5da0f4 * Get nix-env to compile again. 2010-04-14 09:39:06 +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 af2a372bb0 * Update autoCallFunction() and findAlongAttrPath(). 2010-04-07 15:47:06 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d8cd3115d8 * Get nix-env to compile. 2010-03-31 19:12:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 594eaddd11 * When using the included sqlite/aterm libraries, build with
--enable-shared.
* In libutil/libstore/libexpr etc., link against sqlite and aterm.
* Some more header file hygiene.
2010-03-02 15:58:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fefd467539 * `helpText' is now zero-terminated. 2010-02-24 13:24:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fae0427324 * ADDITIONAL_NETWORK_LIBS -> LIBS. 2010-02-24 12:25:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fa6a4fcb11 * Add ${sqlite_lib} everywhere. Just adding it in `libstore' doesn't
work on x86_64 when sqlite is compiled statically.
2010-02-24 12:18:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 327a232c85 * Remove support for old (before Nix 0.12pre12020) databases. 2009-11-06 01:15:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 6f7d7bc1de * Give a useful error message when an evaluation error occurs while
trying to upgrade a package.
2009-10-13 09:30:17 +00:00
Sander van der Burg 53a4981fa2 Added optional parameter which adds -lnsl -lsocket to make the Nix package manager work on OpenSolaris 2009-10-08 14:50:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c6890d6b5c * Replace newlines in table output with spaces. 2009-07-02 08:52:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 749dd97a54 * Support integers and lists of strings in meta fields. This is
useful for fields like meta.maintainers, meta.priority (which can be
  a proper integer now) and even meta.license (if there are multiple
  licenses).
2009-06-30 15:53:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fa61ee70ee * Fix `--from-profile'. 2008-09-18 09:08:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 7933cdc6dc * When writing the user environment manifest, filter out non-string
attributes from the meta attribute.  Not doing so caused nix-env to
  barf on the "psi" package, which has a meta.function attribute,
  the textual serialisation of which causes a gigantic string to be
  produced --- so big that it causes nix-env to run out of memory.

  Note however that "meta" really only should contain strings.  
  meta.function should be passthru.function.
2008-09-02 09:21:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c4f1c2114b * Minor simplification. 2008-08-25 14:15:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b428adc267 * Strip off the `.nix' suffix from the attribute name for files in
~/.nix-defexpr,  otherwise the attribute cannot be selected with the
  `-A' option.  Useful if you want to stick a Nix expression directly
  in ~/.nix-defexpr.
2008-08-25 13:31:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 339c142009 * Use optimistic profile locking for nix-env operations like `-i' and
`-u'.  Instead of acquiring an exclusive lock on the profile for the
  entire duration of the operation, we just perform the operation
  optimistically (without an exclusive lock), and check at the end
  whether the profile changed while we were busy (i.e., the symlink
  target changed).  If so, the operation is restarted.  Restarting is
  generally cheap, since the build results are still in the Nix store.
  Most of the time, only the user environment has to be rebuilt.
2008-08-04 16:21:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 001b3f06ec * `nix-env --set': support --dry-run. 2008-08-04 14:58:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a1d310b6b5 * `nix-store --realise': print what paths will be built/downloaded,
just like nix-env.
* `nix-store --realise': --dry-run option.
2008-08-04 13:44:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5b1052663a * Always show what paths we're going to build/download (as in
--dry-run).  Maybe there should be an option to turn this on/off?
