2013-12-20 nix-shell: Don't warn about the lack of a GC rootEelco Dolstra2-1/+6
2013-12-20 nix-shell: Set $IN_NIX_SHELL before evaluationEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
This has some hacky applications.
2013-12-20 nix-shell: Handle --option correctlyEelco Dolstra2-3/+7
Fixes #181.
2013-12-17 nix-shell --pure: Keep $TERMEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2013-12-10 Bump language version for new storePath featureShea Levy1-1/+1
This will allow e.g. channel expressions to use builtins.storePath IFF it is safe to do so without knowing if the path is valid yet. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2013-12-10 builtins.storePath: Try to substitute the path if it is not yet validShea Levy1-2/+2
Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2013-12-10 Garbage collector: Release locks on temporary root filesEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
This allows processes waiting for such locks to proceed during the trash deletion phase of the garbage collector.
2013-12-05 Print a trace message if a build fails due to the platform being unknownEelco Dolstra1-1/+4
2013-11-22 Include <cstring> for memsetEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
This should fix building on Illumos.
2013-11-19 Bump version numberEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2013-11-19 Check meta values and warn about bad onesEelco Dolstra4-26/+54
2013-11-19 Generalise meta attributesEelco Dolstra5-204/+204
2013-11-19 Shorter error messageEelco Dolstra1-2/+1
2013-11-19 Drop support for user environment manifests in ATerm formatEelco Dolstra1-112/+1
2013-11-19 nix-env -q: Add a --json flagEelco Dolstra1-8/+45
2013-11-19 Refactor JSON outputEelco Dolstra2-13/+56
2013-11-19 Add a toJSON primopEelco Dolstra10-24/+179
2013-11-18 Add a primop unsafeGetAttrPos to return the position of an attributeEelco Dolstra6-6/+44
2013-11-18 Add a symbol __curPos that expands to the current source locationEelco Dolstra7-2/+43
I.e. an attribute set { file = <string>; line = <int>; column = <int>; }.
2013-11-18 Support quoted attribute names in -AEelco Dolstra3-14/+38
This is requires if you have attribute names with dots in them. So you can now say: $ nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A 'config.systemd.units."postgresql.service".text' --eval-only Fixes #151.
2013-11-14 Remove nix-setuid-helperEelco Dolstra13-526/+50
AFAIK, nobody uses it, it's not maintained, and it has no tests.
2013-11-12 Make function calls show up in stack traces againEelco Dolstra4-26/+35
Note that adding --show-trace prevents functions calls from being tail-recursive, so an expression that evaluates without --show-trace may fail with a stack overflow if --show-trace is given.
2013-11-12 Add a test to check that tail calls run in bounded stack spaceEelco Dolstra2-0/+4
2013-11-12 Make function calls tail-recursiveEelco Dolstra4-40/+65
2013-11-12 Make ifs and asserts tail-recursiveEelco Dolstra2-4/+11
The local Value object prevented g++ from making a tail call. Not clear why. In any case, not using a temporary makes g++ do the tail call.
2013-11-12 Get rid of an intermediary on the stackEelco Dolstra2-13/+17
2013-10-28 Fix building without a garbage collectorEelco Dolstra1-5/+5
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6695350
2013-10-28 Fix a segfault in genericClosureEelco Dolstra1-16/+25
It kept temporary data in STL containers that were not scanned by Boehm GC, so Nix programs using genericClosure could randomly crash if the garbage collector kicked in at a bad time. Also make it a bit more efficient by copying points to values rather than values.
2013-10-28 Drop Cygwin and Solaris buildsEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2013-10-28 Update release notes, set version for 1.6.1 releaseEelco Dolstra2-2/+7
2013-10-28 Slightly optimize listToAttrsEelco Dolstra3-9/+10
2013-10-24 Undocument obsolete form of "let"Eelco Dolstra1-8/+2
2013-10-24 Doc fixEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
2013-10-24 Fix segfault on DarwinEelco Dolstra2-0/+2
Ever since SQLite in Nixpkgs was updated to 3.8.0.2, Nix has randomly segfaulted on Darwin: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6175515 http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6611038 It turns out that this is because the binary cache substituter somehow ends up loading two versions of SQLite: the one in Nixpkgs and the other from /usr/lib/libsqlite3.dylib. It's not exactly clear why the latter is loaded, but it appears to be because WWW::Curl indirectly loads /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation, which in turn seems to load /usr/lib/libsqlite3.dylib. This leads to a segfault when Perl exits: #0 0x00000001010375f4 in sqlite3_finalize () #1 0x000000010125806e in sqlite_st_destroy () #2 0x000000010124bc30 in XS_DBD__SQLite__st_DESTROY () #3 0x00000001001c8155 in XS_DBI_dispatch () ... #14 0x0000000100023224 in perl_destruct () #15 0x0000000100000d6a in main () ... The workaround is to explicitly load DBD::SQLite before WWW::Curl.
2013-10-24 Rename "attribute sets" to "sets"Eelco Dolstra13-160/+152
We don't have any other kind of sets so calling them attribute sets is unnecessarily verbose.
2013-10-24 Manual: Fix broken URLsEelco Dolstra2-3/+3
Fixes #172.
2013-10-24 Add rpm_fedora19i386 to the release-critical buildsEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2013-10-24 Remove unnecessary call to forceStringNoCtxEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2013-10-24 Document typeOfEelco Dolstra1-0/+13
2013-10-24 Add a test of the type primopsEelco Dolstra2-0/+24
2013-10-24 Add a typeOf primopEelco Dolstra1-3/+28
We already have some primops for determining the type of a value, such as isString, but they're incomplete: for instance, there is no isPath. Rather than adding more isBla functions, the generic typeOf function returns a string representing the type of the argument (e.g. "int").
2013-10-24 Document NIX_SHOW_STATS and NIX_COUNT_CALLSEelco Dolstra1-0/+18
2013-10-24 Don't require NIX_SHOW_STATS for NIX_COUNT_CALLSEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2013-10-23 Memoize evalFile() lookups under both the original and resolved nameEelco Dolstra1-4/+9
Previously we only used the resolved name, causing repeated resolution (e.g. /dir to /dir/default.nix).
2013-10-23 Add an aggregate jobEelco Dolstra1-4/+36
Also, build for Ubuntu 13.10 and Fedora 19.
2013-10-22 For auto roots, show the intermediate linkEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
I.e. "nix-store -q --roots" will now show (for example) /home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/result rather than /nix/var/nix/gcroots/auto/53222qsppi12s2hkap8dm2lg8xhhyk6v
2013-10-18 Don't set $PS1 in non-interactive shellsEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
Shouldn't really matter, but you never know.
2013-10-18 nix-shell: Play nicely with non-interactive shellsShea Levy1-1/+3
nix-shell with the --command flag might be used non-interactively, but if bash starts non-interactively (i.e. with stdin or stderr not a terminal), it won't source the script given in --rcfile. However, in that case it *will* source the script found in $BASH_ENV, so we can use that instead. Also, don't source ~/.bashrc in a non-interactive shell (detectable by checking the PS1 env var) Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2013-10-17 Fold two stack trace messages in derivationsEelco Dolstra2-6/+5
Combined with the previous changes, stack traces involving derivations are now much less verbose, since something like while evaluating the builtin function `getAttr': while evaluating the builtin function `derivationStrict': while instantiating the derivation named `gtk+-2.24.20' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/gtk+/2.x.nix:11:3': while evaluating the derivation attribute `propagatedNativeBuildInputs' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/stdenv/generic/default.nix:78:17': while evaluating the attribute `outPath' at `/nix/store/212ngf4ph63mp6p1np2bapkfikpakfv7-nix-1.6/share/nix/corepkgs/derivation.nix:18:9': ... now reads while evaluating the attribute `propagatedNativeBuildInputs' of the derivation `gtk+-2.24.20' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/gtk+/2.x.nix:11:3': ...
2013-10-17 Don't show <nix/derivation.nix> in stack tracesEelco Dolstra3-2/+5
Messages like while evaluating the attribute `outPath' at `/nix/store/212ngf4ph63mp6p1np2bapkfikpakfv7-nix-1.6/share/nix/corepkgs/derivation.nix:18:9': are redundant, because Nix already shows that it's evaluating a derivation: while instantiating the derivation named `firefox-24.0' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/applications/networking/browsers/firefox/default.nix:131:5': while evaluating the derivation attribute `nativeBuildInputs' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/stdenv/generic/default.nix:76:17':
