2012-07-18Use "#pragma once" to prevent repeated header file inclusionEelco Dolstra
2010-10-24* Store attribute sets as a vector instead of a map (i.e. a red-blackEelco Dolstra
tree). This saves a lot of memory. The vector should be sorted so that names can be looked up using binary search, but this is not the case yet. (Surprisingly, looking up attributes using linear search doesn't have a big impact on performance.) Memory consumption for $ nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos/tests -A bittorrent.test --readonly-mode on x86_64-linux with GC enabled is now 185 MiB (compared to 946 MiB on the trunk).
2010-10-04* If std::tr1::unordered_set is unavailable, use std::set.Eelco Dolstra
2010-04-13* Use std::tr1::unordered_set instead of std::set for the symbolEelco Dolstra
table. This gives a 10% speed increase on `nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos -A system --readonly-mode'.
2010-04-13* Use a symbol table to represent identifiers and attribute namesEelco Dolstra
efficiently. The symbol table ensures that there is only one copy of each symbol, thus allowing symbols to be compared efficiently using a pointer equality test.
