2013-10-08	Remove some unused functions	Eelco Dolstra

2013-10-08	Merge VarRef into ExprVar	Eelco Dolstra

2013-10-07	Don't show calls to primops in stack traces	Eelco Dolstra
	Since they don't have location information, they just give you crap like: while evaluating the builtin function `getAttr': while evaluating the builtin function `derivationStrict': ...
2013-10-02	Fix segfault in nix-repl / hydra-eval-jobs	Eelco Dolstra
	If a "with" attribute set fails to evaluate, we have to make sure its Env record remains unchanged. Otherwise, repeated evaluation gives a segfault: nix-repl> :a with 0; { a = x; b = x; } Added 2 variables. nix-repl> a error: value is an integer while an attribute set was expected nix-repl> b Segmentation fault
2013-09-03	nix-env: Use wildcard match by default	Eelco Dolstra
	That is, you don't need to pass '' anymore, so nix-env -qa is equivalent to nix-env -qa ''
2013-09-03	nix-env: Load files in ~/.nix-defexpr on demand	Eelco Dolstra
	So if you do "nix-env -qa -A nixos", then other channels won't be parsed/evaluated at all.
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).
2013-09-03	Get rid of the parse tree cache	Eelco Dolstra
	Since we already cache files in normal form (fileEvalCache), caching parse trees is redundant. Note that getting rid of this cache doesn't actually save much memory at the moment, because parse trees are currently not freed / GC'ed.
2013-09-02	Add some support code for nix-repl	Eelco Dolstra

2013-09-02	Get rid of a signedness warning	Eelco Dolstra

2013-09-02	Fix whitespace	Eelco Dolstra

2013-08-26	Simplify inherited attribute handling	Shea Levy
	This reduces the difference between inherited and non-inherited attribute handling to the choice of which env to use (in recs and lets) by setting the AttrDef::e to a new ExprVar in the parser rather than carrying a separate AttrDef::v VarRef member. As an added bonus, this allows inherited attributes that inherit from a with to delay forcing evaluation of the with's attributes. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2013-08-26	Fix typos, especially those that end up in the Nix manual	Ivan Kozik

2013-08-19	Store Nix integers as longs	Eelco Dolstra
	So on 64-bit systems, integers are now 64-bit. Fixes #158.
2013-08-14	Typo	Eelco Dolstra

2013-08-06	Remove obsolete reference to ATerms	Eelco Dolstra

2013-08-02	In the profiler output, show function names (if available)	Eelco Dolstra

2013-08-02	Let the ordering operators also work on strings	Eelco Dolstra
	E.g. ‘"foo" < "bar"’ now works.
2013-08-02	Add comparison operators ‘<’, ‘<=’, ‘>’ and ‘>=’	Eelco Dolstra

2013-08-02	Add integer ‘-’, ‘*’ and ‘/’ operators	Eelco Dolstra

2013-08-02	Add a unary integer negation operator	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows saying "-1" instead of "builtins.sub 0 1".
2013-08-02	Overload the ‘+’ operator to support integer addition	Eelco Dolstra

2013-07-31	Make Env smaller	Eelco Dolstra
	Commit 20866a7031ca823055a221653b77986faa167329 added a ‘withAttrs’ field to Env, which is annoying because it makes every Env structure bigger and we allocate millions of them. E.g. NixOS evaluation took 18 MiB more. So this commit squeezes ‘withAttrs’ into values[0]. Probably should use a union...
2013-07-31	Don't use NULL	Eelco Dolstra

2013-07-31	Avoid thunks when a fromWith var can be looked up without evaluation	Shea Levy
	Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2013-07-31	Delay evaulation of `with` attrs until a variable lookup needs them	Shea Levy
	Evaluation of attribute sets is strict in the attribute names, which means immediate evaluation of `with` attribute sets rules out some potentially interesting use cases (e.g. where the attribute names of one set depend in some way on another but we want to bring those names into scope for some values in the second set). The major example of this is overridable self-referential package sets (e.g. all-packages.nix). With immediate `with` evaluation, the only options for such sets are to either make them non-recursive and explicitly use the name of the overridden set in non-overridden one every time you want to reference another package, or make the set recursive and use the `__overrides` hack. As shown in the test case that comes with this commit, though, delayed `with` evaluation allows a nicer third alternative. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2013-05-16	Show function names in error messages	Eelco Dolstra
	Functions in Nix are anonymous, but if they're assigned to a variable/attribute, we can use the variable/attribute name in error messages, e.g. while evaluating `concatMapStrings' at `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:18:25': ...
2013-05-16	Show which function argument was unexpected	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes #116.

2013-03-14	Fix building against Bison 2.6	Eelco Dolstra

2013-03-14	Make sure that thunks are restored properly if an exception occurs	Eelco Dolstra
	Fixes Hydra bug #67.
2013-03-08	Revert "Prevent config.h from being clobbered"	Eelco Dolstra
	This reverts commit 28bba8c44f484eae38e8a15dcec73cfa999156f6.
2013-03-07	Prevent config.h from being clobbered	Eelco Dolstra

2013-02-08	Make "${./path} ..." evaluate to a string, not a path	Eelco Dolstra
	Wacky string coercion semantics caused expressions like exec = "${./my-script} params..."; to evaluate to a path (‘/path/my-script params’), because anti-quotations are desuged to string concatenation: exec = ./my-script + " params..."; By constrast, adding a space at the start would yield a string as expected: exec = " ${./my-script} params..."; Now the first example also evaluates to a string.
2013-02-08	Rename "hash" to "hashString" and handle SHA-1	Eelco Dolstra

2012-12-04	Tiny optimisation in the filter primop	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-28	nix-env -q --out-path: Support multiple outputs	Eelco Dolstra
	We now print all output paths of a package, e.g. openssl-1.0.0i bin=/nix/store/gq2mvh0wb9l90djvsagln3aqywqmr6vl-openssl-1.0.0i-bin;man=/nix/store/7zwf5r5hsdarl3n86dasvb4chm2xzw9n-openssl-1.0.0i-man;/nix/store/cj7xvk7fjp9q887359j75pw3pzjfmqf1-openssl-1.0.0i or (in XML mode) <item attrPath="openssl" name="openssl-1.0.0i" system="x86_64-linux"> <output name="bin" path="/nix/store/gq2mvh0wb9l90djvsagln3aqywqmr6vl-openssl-1.0.0i-bin" /> <output name="man" path="/nix/store/7zwf5r5hsdarl3n86dasvb4chm2xzw9n-openssl-1.0.0i-man" /> <output name="out" path="/nix/store/cj7xvk7fjp9q887359j75pw3pzjfmqf1-openssl-1.0.0i" /> </item>
2012-11-27	Optionally ignore null-valued derivation attributes	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows adding attributes like attr = if stdenv.system == "bla" then something else null; without changing the resulting derivation on non-<bla> platforms. We once considered adding a special "ignore" value for this purpose, but using null seems more elegant.
2012-11-27	Add builtin constants ‘langVersion’ and ‘nixVersion’	Eelco Dolstra
	The integer constant ‘langVersion’ denotes the current language version. It gets increased every time a language feature is added/changed/removed. It's currently 1. The string constant ‘nixVersion’ contains the current Nix version, e.g. "1.2pre2980_9de6bc5".
2012-11-26	nix-instantiate: Fix read-only evaluation	Eelco Dolstra

2012-11-15	Revert "prim_toPath: Actually make the string a path"	Eelco Dolstra
	This reverts commit 2980d1fba97069805c3649c5d99d0356bce6c303. It causes a regression in NixOS evaluation: string `/nix/store/ya3s5gmj3b28170fpbjhgsk8wzymkpa1-pommed-1.39/etc/pommed.conf' cannot refer to other paths
2012-11-09	Fix a segfault when auto-calling a "a@{...}" function	Eelco Dolstra
	Since the called function can return its argument attribute set (e.g. "a"), the latter should not be allocated on the stack. Reported by Shea.
2012-10-23	prim_toPath: Actually make the string a path	Shea Levy

2012-10-04	getDerivation(): Don't always quietly ignore assertion failure	Eelco Dolstra
	Ignoring assertion failures makes some sense for nix-env -qa, but not for nix-instantiate/nix-build or hydra-eval-jobs.
2012-10-03	Add a ‘--repair’ flag to nix-instantiate	Eelco Dolstra
	This allows repairing corrupted derivations and other source files.
2012-09-27	Allow dashes in identifiers	Eelco Dolstra
	In Nixpkgs, the attribute in all-packages.nix corresponding to a package is usually equal to the package name. However, this doesn't work if the package contains a dash, which is fairly common. The convention is to replace the dash with an underscore (e.g. "dbus-lib" becomes "dbus_glib"), but that's annoying. So now dashes are valid in variable / attribute names, allowing you to write: dbus-glib = callPackage ../development/libraries/dbus-glib { }; and buildInputs = [ dbus-glib ]; Since we don't have a negation or subtraction operation in Nix, this is unambiguous.
