From d407d572fdc72f4eb14cc0f37d7d61446425b663 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eelco Dolstra Date: Fri, 15 May 2009 12:35:23 +0000 Subject: * Some syntactic sugar for attribute sets: allow {x.y.z = ...;} as a shorthand for {x = {y = {z = ...;};};}. This is especially useful for NixOS configuration files, e.g. { services = { sshd = { enable = true; port = 2022; }; }; } can now be written as { services.sshd.enable = true; services.sshd.port = 2022; } However, it is currently not permitted to write { services.sshd = {enable = true;}; services.sshd.port = 2022; } as this is considered a duplicate definition of `services.sshd'. --- src/libexpr/nixexpr.cc | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'src/libexpr/nixexpr.cc') diff --git a/src/libexpr/nixexpr.cc b/src/libexpr/nixexpr.cc index d96b5be97..3675dccea 100644 --- a/src/libexpr/nixexpr.cc +++ b/src/libexpr/nixexpr.cc @@ -19,7 +19,7 @@ string showPos(ATerm pos) if (matchNoPos(pos)) return "undefined position"; if (!matchPos(pos, path, line, column)) throw badTerm("position expected", pos); - return (format("`%1%', line %2%") % aterm2String(path) % line).str(); + return (format("`%1%:%2%:%3%'") % aterm2String(path) % line % column).str(); } -- cgit v1.2.3
