2012-02-09 Fix error messageEelco Dolstra1-3/+4
This fixes the error message error: file `' was not found in the Nix search path (add it using $NIX_PATH or -I)
2011-12-01 * Allow '<nixexpr>' syntax to be used in nix-instantiate, nix-buildEelco Dolstra1-0/+11
and nix-env, e.g., $ nix-env -f '<nixpkgs>' -i patchelf or $ nix-build '<nixos/tests>' -A login.test
2011-08-06 * Add a Nix expression search path feature. Paths between angleEelco Dolstra1-1/+11
brackets, e.g. import <nixpkgs/pkgs/lib> are resolved by looking them up relative to the elements listed in the search path. This allows us to get rid of hacks like import "${builtins.getEnv "NIXPKGS_ALL"}/pkgs/lib" The search path can be specified through the ‘-I’ command-line flag and through the colon-separated ‘NIX_PATH’ environment variable, e.g., $ nix-build -I /etc/nixos ... If a file is not found in the search path, an error message is lazily thrown.
2011-08-06 * Refactoring: move parseExprFromFile() and parseExprFromString() intoEelco Dolstra1-2/+1
the EvalState class.
2010-10-24 * Keep attribute sets in sorted order to speed up attribute lookups.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+5
* Simplify the representation of attributes in the AST. * Change the behaviour of listToAttrs() in case of duplicate names.
2010-10-22 * Store Value nodes outside of attribute sets. I.e., Attr now storesEelco Dolstra1-3/+4
a pointer to a Value, rather than the Value directly. This improves the effectiveness of garbage collection a lot: if the Value is stored inside the set directly, then any live pointer to the Value causes all other attributes in the set to be live as well.
2010-05-18 * The << operator on values should be const.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2010-05-07 * Keep track of the source positions of attributes.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2010-04-13 * Use a symbol table to represent identifiers and attribute namesEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
efficiently. The symbol table ensures that there is only one copy of each symbol, thus allowing symbols to be compared efficiently using a pointer equality test.
2010-04-12 * Don't use ATerms for the abstract syntax trees anymore. NotEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
finished yet.
2010-04-07 * Update autoCallFunction() and findAlongAttrPath().Eelco Dolstra1-6/+8
2007-01-14 * Option --argstr for passing string arguments easily. (NIX-75)Eelco Dolstra1-0/+32
