2013-09-03	Work on Values instead of Exprs	Eelco Dolstra	4	-50/+62
	This prevents some duplicate evaluation in nix-env and nix-instantiate. Also, when traversing ~/.nix-defexpr, only read regular files with the extension .nix. Previously it was reading files like .../channels/binary-caches/<name>. The only reason this didn't cause problems is pure luck (namely, <name> shadows an actual Nix expression, the binary-caches files happen to be syntactically valid Nix expressions, and we iterate over the directory contents in just the right order).
2013-09-03	Reformat	Eelco Dolstra	1	-33/+35

2013-09-03	Get rid of the parse tree cache	Eelco Dolstra	6	-34/+35
	Since we already cache files in normal form (fileEvalCache), caching parse trees is redundant. Note that getting rid of this cache doesn't actually save much memory at the moment, because parse trees are currently not freed / GC'ed.
2013-09-02	Add some support code for nix-repl	Eelco Dolstra	3	-12/+26

2013-09-02	Add an option to limit the log output of builders	Eelco Dolstra	4	-0/+34
	This is mostly useful for Hydra to deal with builders that get stuck in an infinite loop writing data to stdout/stderr.
2013-08-26	Simplify inherited attribute handling	Shea Levy	7	-38/+46
	This reduces the difference between inherited and non-inherited attribute handling to the choice of which env to use (in recs and lets) by setting the AttrDef::e to a new ExprVar in the parser rather than carrying a separate AttrDef::v VarRef member. As an added bonus, this allows inherited attributes that inherit from a with to delay forcing evaluation of the with's attributes. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2013-08-26	Fix nix-shell command	Ivan Kozik	1	-1/+1

2013-08-26	Fix typos, especially those that end up in the Nix manual	Ivan Kozik	18	-34/+34

2013-08-26	Fix personality switching from x86_64 to i686	Gergely Risko	1	-1/+6
	On Linux, Nix can build i686 packages even on x86_64 systems. It's not enough to recognize this situation by settings.thisSystem, we also have to consult uname(). E.g. we can be running on a i686 Debian with an amd64 kernel. In that situation settings.thisSystem is i686-linux, but we still need to change personality to i686 to make builds consistent.
2013-08-23	Manual: Don't use actual hashes of Nix dependencies	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2
	These cause an unnecessary runtime dependency :-)
2013-08-21	Fix corrupt PNG	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+0
	Libpng used to accept this, but no longer does.
2013-08-21	Hack to clean up tests/test-tmp	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+5

2013-08-19	Store Nix integers as longs	Eelco Dolstra	9	-23/+25
	So on 64-bit systems, integers are now 64-bit. Fixes #158.
2013-08-19	Turn on -Wall	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2013-08-14	Typo	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2013-08-14	corepkgs/nar.nix: Prefer local builds	Shea Levy	1	-0/+3
	nar.nix's builder depends on coreutils and nix itself being in $PATH. Unfortunately, there's no good way to ensure that these packages exist in the same place on the remote machine: The local machine may have nix installed in /usr, and the remote machine in /usr/local, but the generated nar.sh builder will refer to /usr and thus fail on the remote machine. This ensures that nar.sh is run on the same machine that instantiates it. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>

2013-08-07	Run the daemon worker on the same CPU as the client	Eelco Dolstra	9	-4/+92
	On a system with multiple CPUs, running Nix operations through the daemon is significantly slower than "direct" mode: $ NIX_REMOTE= nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system real 0m0.974s user 0m0.875s sys 0m0.088s $ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system real 0m2.118s user 0m1.463s sys 0m0.218s The main reason seems to be that the client and the worker get moved to a different CPU after every call to the worker. This patch adds a hack to lock them to the same CPU. With this, the overhead of going through the daemon is very small: $ NIX_REMOTE=daemon nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system real 0m1.074s user 0m0.809s sys 0m0.098s
2013-08-06	Set the default GCC optimisation level to -O3	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2013-08-02	In the profiler output, show function names (if available)	Eelco Dolstra	2	-8/+8

2013-08-02	Let the ordering operators also work on strings	Eelco Dolstra	3	-4/+12
	E.g. ‘"foo" < "bar"’ now works.
2013-08-02	Add comparison operators ‘<’, ‘<=’, ‘>’ and ‘>=’	Eelco Dolstra	4	-1/+31

2013-08-02	Add integer ‘-’, ‘*’ and ‘/’ operators	Eelco Dolstra	4	-2/+16

2013-08-02	Add a unary integer negation operator	Eelco Dolstra	3	-4/+11
	This allows saying "-1" instead of "builtins.sub 0 1".
2013-08-02	Overload the ‘+’ operator to support integer addition	Eelco Dolstra	3	-15/+23

2013-07-31	nix-shell: Don't disable Automake dependency tracking	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+2
	Nixpkgs' stdenv disables dependency tracking by default. That makes sense for one-time builds, but in an interactive environment we expect repeated "make" invocations to do the right thing.
2013-07-31	Test the delayed with a bit more	Eelco Dolstra	3	-5/+8

2013-07-31	Make Env smaller	Eelco Dolstra	2	-21/+23
	Commit 20866a7031ca823055a221653b77986faa167329 added a ‘withAttrs’ field to Env, which is annoying because it makes every Env structure bigger and we allocate millions of them. E.g. NixOS evaluation took 18 MiB more. So this commit squeezes ‘withAttrs’ into values[0]. Probably should use a union...
2013-07-31	Don't use NULL	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+2

2013-07-31	Delay evaulation of `with` attrs until a variable lookup needs them	Shea Levy	4	-7/+40
	Evaluation of attribute sets is strict in the attribute names, which means immediate evaluation of `with` attribute sets rules out some potentially interesting use cases (e.g. where the attribute names of one set depend in some way on another but we want to bring those names into scope for some values in the second set). The major example of this is overridable self-referential package sets (e.g. all-packages.nix). With immediate `with` evaluation, the only options for such sets are to either make them non-recursive and explicitly use the name of the overridden set in non-overridden one every time you want to reference another package, or make the set recursive and use the `__overrides` hack. As shown in the test case that comes with this commit, though, delayed `with` evaluation allows a nicer third alternative. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2013-07-30	Detect stack overflows	Eelco Dolstra	3	-1/+80
	Previously, if the Nix evaluator gets a stack overflow due to a deep or infinite recursion in the Nix expression, the user gets an unhelpful message ("Segmentation fault") that doesn't indicate that the problem is in the user's code rather than Nix itself. Now it prints: error: stack overflow (possible infinite recursion) This only works on x86_64-linux and i686-linux. Fixes #35.
2013-07-30	killUser: Don't let the child kill itself on Apple	Shea Levy	1	-0/+13
	The kill(2) in Apple's libc follows POSIX semantics, which means that kill(-1, SIGKILL) will kill the calling process too. Since nix has no way to distinguish between the process successfully killing everything and the process being killed by a rogue builder in that case, it can't safely conclude that killUser was successful. Luckily, the actual kill syscall takes a parameter that determines whether POSIX semantics are followed, so we can call that syscall directly and avoid the issue on Apple.

2013-07-23	buildenv: remove special treatment of python files	Florian Friesdorf	1	-3/+0
	buildPythonPackage does not leave easy_install.pth and site.py anymore. A python package that leaves these files is broken. An exception to this is setuptoolsSite which packages setuptools' site.py. To include it into a buildenv, this patch is even needed, not just cosmetic.
2013-07-19	Add hacking notes plus a script for running nix-shell	Eelco Dolstra	3	-0/+54

2013-07-19	nix-shell: Set $IN_NIX_SHELL	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	This allows scripts to distinguish between a real build and a Nix shell.
2013-07-19	nix-shell: Set some environment variables also set by build.cc	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+3
	Setting $NIX_STORE causes the purity checks in gcc/ld-wrapper to kick in, so that's why we unset $NIX_ENFORCE_PURITY.
2013-07-19	Rename ‘nix-build --run-env’ to ‘nix-shell’	Eelco Dolstra	7	-92/+201

2013-07-19	nix-build --run-env: Add a ‘--pure’ flag	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+43
	This causes the environment to be (almost) cleared, thus giving a shell that more closely resembled the actual Nix derivation.
2013-07-18	Revert "build-remote.pl: Enforce timeouts locally"	Eelco Dolstra	2	-3/+6
	This reverts commit 69b8f9980f39c14a59365a188b300a34d625a2cd. The timeout should be enforced remotely. Otherwise, if the garbage collector is running either locally or remotely, if will block the build or closure copying for some time. If the garbage collector takes too long, the build may time out, which is not what we want. Also, on heavily loaded systems, copying large paths to and from the remote machine can take a long time, also potentially resulting in a timeout.
