2023-04-07	Finish converting existing comments for internal API docs (#8146)	John Ericson
	* Finish converting existing comments for internal API docs 99% of this was just reformatting existing comments. Only two exceptions: - Expanded upon `BuildResult::status` compat note - Split up file-level `symbol-table.hh` doc comments to get per-definition docs Also fixed a few whitespace goofs, turning leading tabs to spaces and removing trailing spaces. Picking up from #8133 * Fix two things from comments * Use triple-backtick not indent for `dumpPath` * Convert GNU-style `\`..'` quotes to markdown style in API docs This will render correctly.
2023-03-31	Ensure all headers have `#pragma once` and are in API docs	John Ericson
	`///@file` makes them show up in the internal API dos. A tiny few were missing `#pragma once`.
2022-04-21	replace most Pos objects/ptrs with indexes into a position table	pennae
	Pos objects are somewhat wasteful as they duplicate the origin file name and input type for each object. on files that produce more than one Pos when parsed this a sizeable waste of memory (one pointer per Pos). the same goes for ptr<Pos> on 64 bit machines: parsing enough source to require 8 bytes to locate a position would need at least 8GB of input and 64GB of expression memory. it's not likely that we'll hit that any time soon, so we can use a uint32_t index to locate positions instead.
2022-04-21	don't use full Pos for findPackageFilename/editorFor	pennae
	only file and line of the returned position were ever used, it wasn't actually used a position. as such we may as well use a path+int pair for only those two values and remove a use of Pos that would not work well with a position table.
2022-02-25	Remove std::string alias (for real this time)	Eelco Dolstra
	Also use std::string_view in a few more places.
2021-07-19	Rename findDerivationFilename -> findPackageFilename	Robert Hensing
	It does not operate on a derivation and does not return a derivation path. Instead it works at the language level, where a distinct term "package" is more appropriate to distinguish the parent object of `meta.position`; an attribute which doesn't even make it into the derivation.
2020-06-18	Some backports from the flakes branch	Eelco Dolstra

2020-03-24	nix edit: Support non-derivation attributes	Eelco Dolstra
	E.g. $ nix edit .#nixosConfigurations.bla now works. (cherry picked from commit d2032edb2f86e955a8a7724a27c0c3225f386500)
2020-03-24	findAlongAttrPath(): Return position	Eelco Dolstra
	(cherry picked from commit 0b013a54dc570395bed887369f8dd622b8ce337b)
2020-03-24	findAlongAttrPath(): Throw AttrPathNotFound	Eelco Dolstra
	(cherry picked from commit 6b0ca8e803710342af70e257935724c5ad84ca04)
2019-10-28	libexpr: findDerivationFilename return Pos instead of tuple	zimbatm

2019-10-23	libexpr: add findDerivationFilename	zimbatm
	extract the derivation to filename:lineno heuristic
2013-09-03	Work on Values instead of Exprs	Eelco Dolstra
	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).
2012-07-18	Use "#pragma once" to prevent repeated header file inclusion	Eelco Dolstra

2010-10-22	* Store Value nodes outside of attribute sets. I.e., Attr now stores	Eelco Dolstra
	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.
2010-10-04	* Make sure that config.h is included before the system headers,	Eelco Dolstra
	because it defines _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. Without this, on OpenSolaris the system headers define it to be 32, and then the 32-bit stat() ends up being called with a 64-bit "struct stat", or vice versa. This also ensures that we get 64-bit file sizes everywhere. * Remove the redundant call to stat() in parseExprFromFile(). The file cannot be a symlink because that's the exit condition of the loop before.
2010-04-12	* Don't use ATerms for the abstract syntax trees anymore. Not	Eelco Dolstra
	finished yet.
2010-04-07	* Update autoCallFunction() and findAlongAttrPath().	Eelco Dolstra

2006-09-04	* Use a proper namespace.	Eelco Dolstra
	* Optimise header file usage a bit. * Compile the parser as C++.
2006-08-23	* Pass the autoArgs to findAlongAttrPath so that "nix-instantiate	Eelco Dolstra
	foo.nix -A attr --arg name value" will work if (name, value) is needed in the evaluation leading up to "attr".
2006-07-26	* Refactoring: get the selection path stuff out of getDerivations()	Eelco Dolstra
	and put it into a separate function findAlongAttrPath().
