2006-09-22 | * Added a builtin function `isList' to test whether a value is a list. | Eelco Dolstra | |
With this primitive, a list-flattening function can be implemented (NIX-55, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-flatten.nix). | |||
2006-09-22 | * Builtin functions `head' and `tail' to return the head and tail of | Eelco Dolstra | |
list. Useful for lots of things, such as implementing a fold function (see NIX-30, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-list.nix). | |||
2006-09-22 | * New builtin functions builtins.{hasAttr, getAttr} to check for | Eelco Dolstra | |
attribute existence and to return an attribute from an attribute set, respectively. Example: `hasAttr "foo" {foo = 1;}'. They differ from the `?' and `.' operators in that the attribute name is an arbitrary expression. (NIX-61) | |||
2006-09-21 | * Fix comment. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-09-20 | * Shut up a warning. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-09-20 | * Print a better error message for wrong hashes (NIX-49). | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-09-11 | * Support `++'. | Eelco Dolstra | |
* More follow restrictions on layout. | |||
2006-09-05 | * Sone missing #includes. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-09-04 | * Move setuid stuff to libutil. | Eelco Dolstra | |
* Install libexpr header files. | |||
2006-09-04 | * Install header files in /nix/include/nix. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-09-04 | * Remove unnecessary inclusions of aterm2.h. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-09-04 | * Compile the lexer as C++ code. Remove all the redundant C/C++ | Eelco Dolstra | |
marshalling code. | |||
2006-09-04 | * Use a proper namespace. | Eelco Dolstra | |
* Optimise header file usage a bit. * Compile the parser as C++. | |||
2006-09-04 | * Store the Nix libraries in ${libdir}/nix instead of ${libdir}. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-09-01 | * New primop: builtins.toFile, which writes a string into the store | Eelco Dolstra | |
and returns its path. This can be used to (for instance) write builders inside a Nix expression, e.g., stdenv.mkDerivation { builder = " source $stdenv/setup ... "; ... } | |||
2006-09-01 | * Allow "$" in strings as long as they are not followed by "{". (Too | Eelco Dolstra | |
bad flex doesn't have lexical restrictions, the current solution isn't quite right...) | |||
2006-08-30 | * Okay, that's a bit harder than expected. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-08-30 | * Uninitialised variable. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-08-29 | * Support singleton values and nested lists again in `args', but print | Eelco Dolstra | |
a warning. | |||
2006-08-29 | * Fix the ~ operator. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-08-28 | * In toString, deal with nested lists properly (i.e., flatten them). | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-08-28 | * Removed processBinding, instead we now apply toString to all | Eelco Dolstra | |
derivation attributes to flatten them into strings. This is possible since string can nowadays be wrapped in contexts that describe the derivations/sources referenced by the evaluation of the string. | |||
2006-08-26 | * Refactoring. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-08-25 | * Remove those storePath attribute sets, we don't need 'em. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-08-24 | * New primop __toXML (or builtins.toXML) to convert an expression to | Eelco Dolstra | |
an XML representation stored in a string. This should be useful to pass structured information to builders. | |||
2006-08-24 | * Refactoring. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-08-24 | * Strict evaluation and XML printing of lists. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-08-24 | * Refactoring: move strictEval to libexpr. | Eelco Dolstra | |
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". | |||
2006-08-23 | * Quotes. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-08-23 | * New primop: abort "error message". | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-08-23 | * A new primop `builtins', which returns an attribute set containing | Eelco Dolstra | |
all the primops. This allows Nix expressions to test for new primops and take appropriate action if they're not available. For instance, rather than calling a primop `foo' directly, they could say `if builtins ? foo then builtins.foo ... else ...'. | |||
2006-08-16 | * Handle carriage returns. Fixes NIX-53. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-08-09 | * Print a warning that the subpath operator (~) is deprecated. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-08-04 | * Fix a few warnings. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-07-28 | * `nix-instantiate ... --arg NAME VALUE': allow arguments to be passed | Eelco Dolstra | |
to functions from the command line. * nix-build: started removing backticks. | |||
2006-07-28 | * `nix-instantiate --print-args': print out the valid values for | Eelco Dolstra | |
functions arguments that have a domain. | |||
2006-07-26 | * Refactoring: get the selection path stuff out of getDerivations() | Eelco Dolstra | |
and put it into a separate function findAlongAttrPath(). | |||
2006-07-25 | * `nix-instantiate --print-args' prints out the arguments of a | Eelco Dolstra | |
top-level function. | |||
2006-07-25 | * Applied rbroek's patch from the branch at | Eelco Dolstra | |
https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/repos/trace/buildfarm-control/trunk/ext/nix/, with some modifications. This allows `nix-env -qa' to show the attribute path that can be used to unambiguously install a package using `nix-env -i -A'. Example: $ nix-env -f top-level/all-packages.nix -qaA subversion xorg-server subversionWithJava subversion-1.2.3 subversion subversion-1.3.2 subversion14 subversion-1.4.0pre-rc1 xorg.xorgserver xorg-server-1.1.0 | |||
2006-07-24 | * When there is a domain check, we have to evaluate the argument. | Eelco Dolstra | |
Can't be lazy! | |||
2006-07-24 | * New language feature: domain checks, which check whether a function | Eelco Dolstra | |
argument has a valid value, i.e., is in a certain domain. E.g., { foo : [true false] , bar : ["a" "b" "c"] }: ... This previously could be done using assertions, but domain checks will allow the buildfarm to automatically extract the configuration space from functions. | |||
2006-07-24 | * Refactoring to support domain checks. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-07-19 | * Better error messages (especially wrt types). | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-07-11 | * Doh! Of couse we cannot memoize across scopes. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-05-30 | * Don't use badTerm, it gives awful error messages. | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-05-12 | * Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41). | Eelco Dolstra | |
2006-05-11 | * 64-bit compatibility fixes (for problems revealed by building on an Athlon | Eelco Dolstra | |
64 running 64-bit SUSE). A patched ATerm library is required to run Nix succesfully. | |||
2006-05-08 | * Allow function argument default values to refer to other arguments | Eelco Dolstra | |
of the function. Implements NIX-45. | |||
2006-05-08 | * Show evaluation stats when NIX_SHOW_STATS=1. | Eelco Dolstra | |
