2004-10-31 * Fix `File exists' errors if the `result' symlink exists but isEelco Dolstra1-5/+4
dangling.
2004-10-29 * Began adding build farm docs.Eelco Dolstra3-0/+132
2004-10-29 * Drop ATmake / ATMatcher also in handling store expressions.Eelco Dolstra19-258/+118

2004-10-27 * Bug fix in parsing of /* ... */ comments; due to longest matchEelco Dolstra4-2/+14
regexp there could be only one such comment per file.
2004-10-27 * Remove ancient Fix tests.Eelco Dolstra32-87/+145
* Add automated Nix expression language tests.
2004-10-27 * Turn on read-only mode in queries. This prevents redundant store I/O.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+2
2004-10-27 * Oops, I did it again.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+2
2004-10-27 * Add file to `make dist'.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2004-10-26 * Bug: check that term is an application.Eelco Dolstra2-1/+3
2004-10-26 * Don't use ATmake / ATmatch anymore, nor the ATMatcher class.Eelco Dolstra11-304/+410
Instead we generate data bindings (build and match functions) for the constructors specified in `constructors.def'. In particular this removes the conversions between AFuns and strings, and Nix expression evaluation now seems 3 to 4 times faster.
2004-10-26 * Evaluate argument to `import'.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+2
2004-10-26 * Doh!Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2004-10-26 * String/path concatenation operator (`+').Eelco Dolstra6-5/+43
2004-10-26 * Mode `--parse-only' to parse the input (on stdin, `-'), and printEelco Dolstra1-8/+28
out the AST as an ATerm. * Mode `--eval-only' to parse and evaluate the input, and print the resulting normal form as an ATerm. Neither of these modes require store/DB write permission.
2004-10-25 * New language feature: with expressions.Eelco Dolstra7-27/+61
The expression `with E1; E2' evaluates to E2 with all bindings in the attribute set E1 substituted. E.g., with {x = 123;}; x evaluates to 123. That is, the attribute set E1 is in scope in E2. This is particularly useful when importing files containing lots definitions. E.g., instead of let { inherit (import ./foo.nix) a b c d e f; body = ... a ... f ...; } we can now say with import ./foo.nix; ... a ... f ... I.e., we don't have to say what variables should be brought into scope.
