{stdenv, bash}: derivation {
builder = bash ~ /bin/sh;
args = ["-e" "-x" ./builder.sh];
...
}
Here the attribute `builder' will evaluate to, e.g.,
`/nix/store/1234abcd...-bash-2.0.1/bin/sh'.

`bla:' is now no longer parsed as a URL.
* Re-enabled support for the `args' attribute in derivations to
specify command line arguments to the builder, e.g.,
...
builder = /usr/bin/python;
args = ["-c" ./builder.py];
...

non-inherited attributes.
|
|
{x=1; y=2; z=3;} // {y=4;} => {x=1; y=4; z=3;}
|
|
* Various performance improvements in the evaluator.
* Do not link against unused (and missing!) libraries (-lsglr, etc.).

`inherit' variables from the surrounding lexical scope.
E.g.,
{stdenv, libfoo}: derivation {
builder = ./bla;
inherit stdenv libfoo;
xyzzy = 1;
}
is equivalent to
{stdenv, libfoo}: derivation {
builder = ./bla;
stdenv = stdenv;
libfoo = libfoo;
xyzzy = 1;
}
Note that for mutually recursive attribute set definitions (`rec
{...}'), this also works, that is, `rec {inherit x;}' is equivalent
to `let {fresh = x; body = rec {x = fresh;};}', *not*
`rec {x = x}'.

parser (roughly 80x faster).
The absolutely latest version of Bison (1.875c) is required for
reentrant GLR support, as well as a recent version of Flex (say,
2.5.31). Note that most Unix distributions ship with the
prehistoric Flex 2.5.4, which doesn't support reentrancy.

Nix. This is to prevent Berkeley DB from becoming wedged.
Unfortunately it is not possible to throw C++ exceptions from a
signal handler. In fact, you can't do much of anything except
change variables of type `volatile sig_atomic_t'. So we set an
interrupt flag in the signal handler and check it at various
strategic locations in the code (by calling checkInterrupt()).
Since this is unlikely to cover all cases (e.g., (semi-)infinite
loops), sometimes SIGTERM may now be required to kill Nix.

that it can be used by multiple programs.
