2018-03-14concatLists: Don't pass NULL pointers to memcpy.Shea Levy
This is UB, even if the size is 0. See #1976. Fixes #1976.

2018-02-11Nix stats: flatten statisticsFrederik Rietdijk
Flattens the list of statistics as suggested in https://github.com/NixOS/ofborg/issues/67. This makes it easier to work with.
2018-02-08Allow using RegisterPrimop to define constants.Shea Levy
This enables plugins to add new constants, as well as new primops.
2018-02-07Merge pull request #1816 from shlevy/add-pathEelco Dolstra
Add path primop.
2018-02-06Add path primop.Shea Levy
builtins.path allows specifying the name of a path (which makes paths with store-illegal names now addable), allows adding paths with flat instead of recursive hashes, allows specifying a filter (so is a generalization of filterSource), and allows specifying an expected hash (enabling safe path adding in pure mode).
2018-02-06checkURI(): Check file URIs against allowedPathsEelco Dolstra
This makes e.g. 'fetchGit ./.' work (assuming that ./. is an allowed path).
2018-01-19Don't use [[noreturn]]Eelco Dolstra
2018-01-16Add pure evaluation modeEelco Dolstra
In this mode, the following restrictions apply: * The builtins currentTime, currentSystem and storePath throw an error. * $NIX_PATH and -I are ignored. * fetchGit and fetchMercurial require a revision hash. * fetchurl and fetchTarball require a sha256 attribute. * No file system access is allowed outside of the paths returned by fetch{Git,Mercurial,url,Tarball}. Thus 'nix build -f ./foo.nix' is not allowed. Thus, the evaluation result is completely reproducible from the command line arguments. E.g. nix build --pure-eval '( let nix = fetchGit { url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git; rev = "9c927de4b179a6dd210dd88d34bda8af4b575680"; }; nixpkgs = fetchGit { url = https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs.git; ref = "release-17.09"; rev = "66b4de79e3841530e6d9c6baf98702aa1f7124e4"; }; in (import (nix + "/release.nix") { inherit nix nixpkgs; }).build.x86_64-linux )' The goal is to enable completely reproducible and traceable evaluation. For example, a NixOS configuration could be fully described by a single Git commit hash. 'nixos-rebuild' would do something like nix build --pure-eval '( (import (fetchGit { url = file:///my-nixos-config; rev = "..."; })).system ') where the Git repository /my-nixos-config would use further fetchGit calls or Git externals to fetch Nixpkgs and whatever other dependencies it has. Either way, the commit hash would uniquely identify the NixOS configuration and allow it to reproduced.

2017-02-22Explicitly model all settings and fail on unrecognized onesDan Peebles
Previously, the Settings class allowed other code to query for string properties, which led to a proliferation of code all over the place making up new options without any sort of central registry of valid options. This commit pulls all those options back into the central Settings class and removes the public get() methods, to discourage future abuses like that. Furthermore, because we know the full set of options ahead of time, we now fail loudly if someone enters an unrecognized option, thus preventing subtle typos. With some template fun, we could probably also dump the full set of options (with documentation, defaults, etc.) to the command line, but I'm not doing that yet here.
2017-01-26Add support for passing structured data to buildersEelco Dolstra
Previously, all derivation attributes had to be coerced into strings so that they could be passed via the environment. This is lossy (e.g. lists get flattened, necessitating configureFlags vs. configureFlagsArray, of which the latter cannot be specified as an attribute), doesn't support attribute sets at all, and has size limitations (necessitating hacks like passAsFile). This patch adds a new mode for passing attributes to builders, namely encoded as a JSON file ".attrs.json" in the current directory of the builder. This mode is activated via the special attribute __structuredAttrs = true; (The idea is that one day we can set this in stdenv.mkDerivation.) For example, stdenv.mkDerivation { __structuredAttrs = true; name = "foo"; buildInputs = [ pkgs.hello pkgs.cowsay ]; doCheck = true; hardening.format = false; } results in a ".attrs.json" file containing (sans the indentation): { "buildInputs": [], "builder": "/nix/store/ygl61ycpr2vjqrx775l1r2mw1g2rb754-bash-4.3-p48/bin/bash", "configureFlags": [ "--with-foo", "--with-bar=1 2" ], "doCheck": true, "hardening": { "format": false }, "name": "foo", "nativeBuildInputs": [ "/nix/store/10h6li26i7g6z3mdpvra09yyf10mmzdr-hello-2.10", "/nix/store/4jnvjin0r6wp6cv1hdm5jbkx3vinlcvk-cowsay-3.03" ], "propagatedBuildInputs": [], "propagatedNativeBuildInputs": [], "stdenv": "/nix/store/f3hw3p8armnzy6xhd4h8s7anfjrs15n2-stdenv", "system": "x86_64-linux" } "passAsFile" is ignored in this mode because it's not needed - large strings are included directly in the JSON representation. It is up to the builder to do something with the JSON representation. For example, in bash-based builders, lists/attrsets of string values could be mapped to bash (associative) arrays.

2016-11-26Revert "Get rid of unicode quotes (#1140)"Eelco Dolstra
This reverts commit f78126bfd6b6c8477fcdbc09b2f98772dbe9a1e7. There really is no need for such a massive change...

2016-08-29forceBool(): Show position infoEelco Dolstra
2016-08-29Add builtin function "partition"Eelco Dolstra
The implementation of "partition" in Nixpkgs is O(n^2) (because of the use of ++), and for some reason was causing stack overflows in multi-threaded evaluation (not sure why). This reduces "nix-env -qa --drv-path" runtime by 0.197s and memory usage by 298 MiB (in non-Boehm mode).
2016-08-29callFunction: Copy functors to the heapShea Levy
Normally it's impossible to take a reference to the function passed to callFunction, so some callers (e.g. ExprApp::eval) allocate that value on the stack. For functors, a reference to the functor itself may be kept, so we need to have it on the heap. Fixes #1045
2016-08-23nix build: Use Nix search pathEelco Dolstra
That is, unless --file is specified, the Nix search path is synthesized into an attribute set. Thus you can say $ nix build nixpkgs.hello assuming $NIX_PATH contains an entry of the form "nixpkgs=...". This is more verbose than $ nix build hello but is less ambiguous.
2016-06-01Make the store directory a member variable of StoreEelco Dolstra
2016-04-25Improved logging abstractionEelco Dolstra
This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the "pretty" log type.
2016-04-14Make $NIX_PATH parsing more robustEelco Dolstra
2016-04-14Make the search path lazier with non-fatal errorsEelco Dolstra
Thus, -I / $NIX_PATH entries are now downloaded only when they are needed for evaluation. An error to download an entry is a non-fatal warning (just like non-existant paths). This does change the semantics of builtins.nixPath, which now returns the original, rather than resulting path. E.g., before we had [ { path = "/nix/store/hgm3yxf1lrrwa3z14zpqaj5p9vs0qklk-nixexprs.tar.xz"; prefix = "nixpkgs"; } ... ] but now [ { path = "https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-16.03/nixexprs.tar.xz"; prefix = "nixpkgs"; } ... ] Fixes #792.

2016-02-04StoreAPI -> StoreEelco Dolstra
Calling a class an API is a bit redundant...
2016-02-04Eliminate the "store" global variableEelco Dolstra
Also, move a few free-standing functions into StoreAPI and Derivation. Also, introduce a non-nullable smart pointer, ref<T>, which is just a wrapper around std::shared_ptr ensuring that the pointer is never null. (For reference-counted values, this is better than passing a "T&", because the latter doesn't maintain the refcount. Usually, the caller will have a shared_ptr keeping the value alive, but that's not always the case, e.g., when passing a reference to a std::thread via std::bind.)
2016-01-05Use __toString when coercing sets to strings.Shea Levy
For example, "${{ foo = "bar"; __toString = x: x.foo; }}" evaluates to "bar". With this, we can delay calling functions like mkDerivation, buildPythonPackage, etc. until we actually need a derivation, enabling overrides and other modifications to happen by simple attribute set update.

The value pointers of lists with 1 or 2 elements are now stored in the list value itself. In particular, this makes the "concatMap (x: if cond then [(f x)] else [])" idiom cheaper.
