2010-10-20* Use the Boehm garbage collector to reclaim unused memory in the NixEelco Dolstra
expression evaluator.
2010-10-04* Make sure that config.h is included before the system headers,Eelco Dolstra
because it defines _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. Without this, on OpenSolaris the system headers define it to be 32, and then the 32-bit stat() ends up being called with a 64-bit "struct stat", or vice versa. This also ensures that we get 64-bit file sizes everywhere. * Remove the redundant call to stat() in parseExprFromFile(). The file cannot be a symlink because that's the exit condition of the loop before.
2010-05-12* Sync with the trunk.Eelco Dolstra
2010-05-07* Sync with the trunk.Eelco Dolstra
2010-04-20* Sync with the trunk.Eelco Dolstra
2010-04-19* Drop the dependency on the ATerm library.Eelco Dolstra
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.
2010-04-12* Indented strings.Eelco Dolstra
2010-04-12* Don't use ATerms for the abstract syntax trees anymore. NotEelco Dolstra
finished yet.
2010-04-08* Remove a lot of dead code.Eelco Dolstra
2010-04-07* Update autoCallFunction() and findAlongAttrPath().Eelco Dolstra
2010-04-07* expr-to-xml -> value-to-xml.Eelco Dolstra
2010-04-07* Implemented the primops necessary for generating the NixOS manual.Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-31* Implemented derivations.Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-31Make source location info in the XML output optional.Ludovic Courtès
* src/libexpr/expr-to-xml.cc (nix::showAttrs): Add `location' parameter. Provide location XML attributes when it's true. Update callers. (nix::printTermAsXML): Likewise. * src/libexpr/expr-to-xml.hh (nix::printTermAsXML): Update prototype; have `location' default to `false'. * src/nix-instantiate/nix-instantiate.cc (printResult, processExpr): Add `location' parameter; update callers. (run): Add support for `--no-location'. * src/nix-instantiate/help.txt: Update accordingly. * tests/lang.sh: Invoke `nix-instantiate' with `--no-location' for the XML tests. * tests/lang/eval-okay-toxml.exp, tests/lang/eval-okay-to-xml.nix: New files.
2010-03-30* More operators / primops.Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-30* More primops.Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-29* Started integrating the new evaluator.Eelco Dolstra
2010-03-02* When using the included sqlite/aterm libraries, build withEelco Dolstra
--enable-shared. * In libutil/libstore/libexpr etc., link against sqlite and aterm. * Some more header file hygiene.
2010-02-24* `helpText' is now zero-terminated.Eelco Dolstra
2010-02-24* ADDITIONAL_NETWORK_LIBS -> LIBS.Eelco Dolstra
2010-02-24* Add ${sqlite_lib} everywhere. Just adding it in `libstore' doesn'tEelco Dolstra
work on x86_64 when sqlite is compiled statically.
2009-11-06* Remove support for old (before Nix 0.12pre12020) databases.Eelco Dolstra
2009-10-08Added optional parameter which adds -lnsl -lsocket to make the Nix package ↵Sander van der Burg
manager work on OpenSolaris
2007-01-14* Option --argstr for passing string arguments easily. (NIX-75)Eelco Dolstra
2007-01-13* Allow multiple --attr / -A arguments in nix-build / nix-instantiateEelco Dolstra
(NIX-74).
2007-01-13* Canonicalise ASTs in `nix-instantiate --eval': remove positionEelco Dolstra
info, sort attribute sets.
2006-12-07* Doh!Eelco Dolstra
2006-12-07* Rename all those main.cc files.Eelco Dolstra
2006-12-05* Allow unprivileged users to run the garbage collector and to doEelco Dolstra
`nix-store --delete'. But unprivileged users are not allowed to ignore liveness. * `nix-store --delete --ignore-liveness': ignore the runtime roots as well.
2006-11-30* Put building in the store API.Eelco Dolstra
2006-11-30* Refactoring. There is now an abstract interface class StoreAPIEelco Dolstra
containing functions that operate on the Nix store. One implementation is LocalStore, which operates on the Nix store directly. The next step, to enable secure multi-user Nix, is to create a different implementation RemoteStore that talks to a privileged daemon process that uses LocalStore to perform the actual operations.
2006-10-16* Big cleanup of the semantics of paths, strings, contexts, stringEelco Dolstra
concatenation and string coercion. This was a big mess (see e.g. NIX-67). Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected. The semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def). toString() and coerceToString() have been merged. Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the formalisation of the meaning of a path). So "foo " + ./bla evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo /path/to/current-dir/bla". This prevents accidental impurities, and is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g., `"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation. (Here `bla' would be replaced by the output path of `bla'.)
2006-10-03* toXML: propagate the context to allow derivations to be used in theEelco Dolstra
argument.
2006-09-08* Remove debug message.Eelco Dolstra
2006-09-04* Use a proper namespace.Eelco Dolstra
* Optimise header file usage a bit. * Compile the parser as C++.
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-instantiateEelco Dolstra
foo.nix -A attr --arg name value" will work if (name, value) is needed in the evaluation leading up to "attr".
2006-08-17* Print attributes in sorted order, rather than the arbitrary orderEelco Dolstra
produced by ATermMap. Necessary for testing. * `--strict' should also work on stdin.
2006-08-16* More XML output. `--strict' to strictly evaluate attribute sets andEelco Dolstra
so on. * Removed `--print-args', it's subsumed by `--eval-only --xml'.
2006-08-16* `nix-instantiate --{eval|parse}-only --xml': print an XMLEelco Dolstra
representation instead of an ATerm. * Indent XML output.
2006-08-14* Put the value in an attribute.Eelco Dolstra
2006-08-03* `nix-instantiate --print-args': produce XML output so that theEelco Dolstra
result can be used more easily by scripts.
2006-07-28* `nix-instantiate ... --arg NAME VALUE': allow arguments to be passedEelco Dolstra
to functions from the command line. * nix-build: started removing backticks.
2006-07-28* `nix-instantiate --print-args': print out the valid values forEelco 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 aEelco Dolstra
top-level function.
2006-05-12* Support for srcdir != builddir (NIX-41).Eelco Dolstra
