2020-04-03nix-env: Refuse to operate on a new-style profileEelco Dolstra
This prevents users from accidentally nuking their profile via nix-env. (cherry picked from commit 021634e3e3edb327089d33ab41b743f0a40126da)
2020-03-11Move some corepkgs into the nix binaryEelco Dolstra
2019-12-10Make the Store API more type-safeEelco Dolstra
Most functions now take a StorePath argument rather than a Path (which is just an alias for std::string). The StorePath constructor ensures that the path is syntactically correct (i.e. it looks like <store-dir>/<base32-hash>-<name>). Similarly, functions like buildPaths() now take a StorePathWithOutputs, rather than abusing Path by adding a '!<outputs>' suffix. Note that the StorePath type is implemented in Rust. This involves some hackery to allow Rust values to be used directly in C++, via a helper type whose destructor calls the Rust type's drop() function. The main issue is the dynamic nature of C++ move semantics: after we have moved a Rust value, we should not call the drop function on the original value. So when we move a value, we set the original value to bitwise zero, and the destructor only calls drop() if the value is not bitwise zero. This should be sufficient for most types. Also lots of minor cleanups to the C++ API to make it more modern (e.g. using std::optional and std::string_view in some places).

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...

2016-02-04Eliminate 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.)
2015-07-23Optimize small listsEelco Dolstra
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.

2014-09-19Store Attrs inside BindingsEelco Dolstra
This prevents a double allocation per attribute set.

2014-03-11Fix passing meta attribute to buildenv.nixEelco Dolstra
Since the meta attributes were not sorted, attribute lookup could fail, leading to package priorities and active flags not working correctly. Broken since 0f24400d90daf65cf20142a662f8245008437e2c.
2014-02-18Add a flag ‘--check’ to verify build determinismEelco Dolstra
The flag ‘--check’ to ‘nix-store -r’ or ‘nix-build’ will cause Nix to redo the build of a derivation whose output paths are already valid. If the new output differs from the original output, an error is printed. This makes it easier to test if a build is deterministic. (Obviously this cannot catch all sources of non-determinism, but it catches the most common one, namely the current time.) For example: $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf ... $ nix-build '<nixpkgs>' -A patchelf --check error: derivation `/nix/store/1ipvxsdnbhl1rw6siz6x92s7sc8nwkkb-patchelf-0.6' may not be deterministic: hash mismatch in output `/nix/store/4pc1dmw5xkwmc6q3gdc9i5nbjl4dkjpp-patchelf-0.6.drv' The --check build fails if not all outputs are valid. Thus the first call to nix-build is necessary to ensure that all outputs are valid. The current outputs are left untouched: the new outputs are either put in a chroot or diverted to a different location in the store using hash rewriting.

2012-12-04nix-env: Install all outputs of a derivationEelco Dolstra
If you explicitly install a package, presumably you want all of it. So symlink all outputs in the user environment.

2012-10-04getDerivation(): Don't always quietly ignore assertion failureEelco Dolstra
Ignoring assertion failures makes some sense for nix-env -qa, but not for nix-instantiate/nix-build or hydra-eval-jobs.

2012-06-27nix-store -r: do substitutions in parallelEelco Dolstra
I.e. when multiple non-derivation arguments are passed to ‘nix-store -r’ to be substituted, do them in parallel.
2012-04-14Remove unnecessary "system" argumentEelco Dolstra
2012-01-03* Refactoring: Get rid of a few subdirectories in corepkgs/, and someEelco Dolstra
other simplifications. * Use <nix/...> to locate the corepkgs. This allows them to be overriden through $NIX_PATH. * Use bash's pipefail option in the NAR builder so that we don't need to create a temporary file.
2011-08-06* Refactoring: move parseExprFromFile() and parseExprFromString() intoEelco Dolstra
the EvalState class.
2010-10-24* When allocating an attribute set, reserve enough space for allEelco Dolstra
elements. This prevents the vector from having to resize itself.
2010-10-24* Keep attribute sets in sorted order to speed up attribute lookups.Eelco Dolstra
* Simplify the representation of attributes in the AST. * Change the behaviour of listToAttrs() in case of duplicate names.
2010-10-23* Remove allocValues().Eelco Dolstra
2010-10-22* Store Value nodes outside of attribute sets. I.e., Attr now storesEelco 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.
2010-05-30* Remove an accidentally committed debug statement.Eelco Dolstra
2010-05-07* Keep track of the source positions of attributes.Eelco Dolstra
2010-04-21* Store user environment manifests as a Nix expression inEelco Dolstra
$out/manifest.nix rather than as an ATerm. (Hm, I thought I committed this two days ago...)
