2013-11-19	Add a toJSON primop	Eelco Dolstra	10	-24/+179

2013-11-18	Add a primop unsafeGetAttrPos to return the position of an attribute	Eelco Dolstra	6	-6/+44

2013-11-18	Add a symbol __curPos that expands to the current source location	Eelco Dolstra	7	-2/+43
	I.e. an attribute set { file = <string>; line = <int>; column = <int>; }.
2013-11-18	Support quoted attribute names in -A	Eelco Dolstra	3	-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-helper	Eelco Dolstra	13	-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 again	Eelco Dolstra	4	-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 space	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+4

2013-11-12	Make function calls tail-recursive	Eelco Dolstra	4	-40/+65

2013-11-12	Make ifs and asserts tail-recursive	Eelco Dolstra	2	-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 stack	Eelco Dolstra	2	-13/+17

2013-10-28	Fix building without a garbage collector	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+5
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6695350
2013-10-28	Fix a segfault in genericClosure	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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 builds	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2013-10-28	Update release notes, set version for 1.6.1 release	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+7

2013-10-28	Slightly optimize listToAttrs	Eelco Dolstra	3	-9/+10

2013-10-24	Doc fix	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2013-10-24	Fix segfault on Darwin	Eelco Dolstra	2	-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 Dolstra	13	-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 URLs	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+3
	Fixes #172.
2013-10-24	Add rpm_fedora19i386 to the release-critical builds	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2013-10-24	Remove unnecessary call to forceStringNoCtx	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2013-10-24	Document typeOf	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+13

2013-10-24	Add a test of the type primops	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+24

2013-10-24	Add a typeOf primop	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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_CALLS	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+18

2013-10-24	Don't require NIX_SHOW_STATS for NIX_COUNT_CALLS	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2013-10-23	Memoize evalFile() lookups under both the original and resolved name	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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 job	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+36
	Also, build for Ubuntu 13.10 and Fedora 19.
2013-10-22	For auto roots, show the intermediate link	Eelco Dolstra	1	-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 shells	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	Shouldn't really matter, but you never know.
2013-10-18	nix-shell: Play nicely with non-interactive shells	Shea Levy	1	-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 derivations	Eelco Dolstra	2	-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 traces	Eelco Dolstra	3	-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':
2013-10-17	Nix 1.6.1 release notes	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+60

2013-10-17	Fix test	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2

2013-10-17	Test string semantics a bit more	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+6

2013-10-17	two typos	goblin	1	-2/+2

2013-10-17	Ensure proper type checking/coercion of "${expr}"	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+3
	Now we only rewrite "${expr}" to expr if expr is a string literal.
2013-10-17	Add a test for type correctness of antiquotes	Eelco Dolstra	3	-0/+3
	Antiquotes should evaluate to strings or paths. This is usually checked, except in the case where the antiquote makes up the entire string, as in "${expr}". This is optimised to expr, which discards the runtime type checks / coercions.
2013-10-17	Revert the behaviour of antiquoted paths to pre-Nix 1.6	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4
	Commit 159e621d1a9c4391b53f3d822109c36931934698 accidentally changed the behaviour of antiquoted paths, e.g. "${/foo}/bar" used to evaluate to "/nix/store/<hash>-foo/bar" (where /foo gets copied to the store), but in Nix 1.6 it evaluates to "/foo/bar". This is inconsistent, since " ${/foo}/bar" evaluates to " /nix/store/<hash>-foo/bar". So revert to the old behaviour.
2013-10-16	Add a regression test for correct path antiquotation behavior	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+4
	This broke in Nix 1.6.
2013-10-16	Retry all SQLite operations	Eelco Dolstra	2	-128/+169
	To deal with SQLITE_PROTOCOL, we also need to retry read-only operations.
2013-10-16	Fix a race in registerFailedPath()	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+1
	Registering the path as failed can fail if another process does the same thing after the call to hasPathFailed(). This is extremely unlikely though.
2013-10-16	Convenience macros for retrying a SQLite transaction	Eelco Dolstra	1	-46/+42

2013-10-16	Don't wrap read-only queries in a transaction	Eelco Dolstra	1	-6/+0
	There is no risk of getting an inconsistent result here: if the ID returned by queryValidPathId() is deleted from the database concurrently, subsequent queries involving that ID will simply fail (since IDs are never reused).
2013-10-16	Print a distinct warning for SQLITE_PROTOCOL	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+8

2013-10-16	Treat SQLITE_PROTOCOL as SQLITE_BUSY	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1
	In the Hydra build farm we fairly regularly get SQLITE_PROTOCOL errors (e.g., "querying path in database: locking protocol"). The docs for this error code say that it "is returned if some other process is messing with file locks and has violated the file locking protocol that SQLite uses on its rollback journal files." However, the SQLite source code reveals that this error can also occur under high load: if( cnt>5 ){ int nDelay = 1; /* Pause time in microseconds / if( cnt>100 ){ VVA_ONLY( pWal->lockError = 1; ) return SQLITE_PROTOCOL; } if( cnt>=10 ) nDelay = (cnt-9)238; /* Max delay 21ms. Total delay 996ms */ sqlite3OsSleep(pWal->pVfs, nDelay); } i.e. if certain locks cannot be not acquired, SQLite will retry a number of times before giving up and returing SQLITE_PROTOCOL. The comments say: Circumstances that cause a RETRY should only last for the briefest instances of time. No I/O or other system calls are done while the locks are held, so the locks should not be held for very long. But if we are unlucky, another process that is holding a lock might get paged out or take a page-fault that is time-consuming to resolve, during the few nanoseconds that it is holding the lock. In that case, it might take longer than normal for the lock to free. ... The total delay time before giving up is less than 1 second. On a heavily loaded machine like lucifer (the main Hydra server), which often has dozens of processes waiting for I/O, it seems to me that a page fault could easily take more than a second to resolve. So, let's treat SQLITE_PROTOCOL as SQLITE_BUSY and retry the transaction. Issue NixOS/hydra#14.
2013-10-14	nix-shell: Fix bash completion	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1
	Nixpkgs's stdenv setup script sets the "nullglob" option, but doing so breaks Bash completion on NixOS (when ‘programs.bash.enableCompletion’ is set) and on Ubuntu. So clear that flag afterwards. Of course, this may break stdenv functions in subtle ways...
2013-10-11	Adjust to the NixOS/Nixpkgs merge	Eelco Dolstra	2	-2/+2
