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.

So on 64-bit systems, integers are now 64-bit.
Fixes #158.

This allows saying "-1" instead of "builtins.sub 0 1".

Functions in Nix are anonymous, but if they're assigned to a
variable/attribute, we can use the variable/attribute name in error
messages, e.g.
while evaluating `concatMapStrings' at `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:18:25':

This reverts commit 28bba8c44f484eae38e8a15dcec73cfa999156f6.

Wacky string coercion semantics caused expressions like
exec = "${./my-script} params...";
to evaluate to a path (‘/path/my-script params’), because
anti-quotations are desuged to string concatenation:
exec = ./my-script + " params...";
By constrast, adding a space at the start would yield a string as
expected:
exec = " ${./my-script} params...";
Now the first example also evaluates to a string.

that you want to use as the directory for import such as
with (import <nixpkgs> { });
then you can say
$ nix-build -I nixpkgs=/home/eelco/src/stdenv-updates

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.

x.y.z or default
(as originally proposed in
https://mail.cs.uu.nl/pipermail/nix-dev/2009-September/002989.html).
For instance, an expression like
stdenv.lib.attrByPath ["features" "ckSched"] false args
can now be written as
args.features.ckSched or false

an attribute path. This is a refactoring to support default values.

write ‘attrs ? a.b’ to test whether ‘attrs’ has an attribute ‘a’
containing an attribute ‘b’. This is more convenient than ‘attrs ?
a && attrs.a ? b’.
Slight change in the semantics: it's no longer an error if the
left-hand side of ‘?’ is not an attribute set. In that case it just
returns false. So, ‘null ? foo’ no longer throws an error.

because it defines _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. Without this, on
OpenSolaris the system headers define it to be 32, and then
the 32-bit stat() ends up being called with a 64-bit "struct
stat", or vice versa.
This also ensures that we get 64-bit file sizes everywhere.
* Remove the redundant call to stat() in parseExprFromFile().
The file cannot be a symlink because that's the exit condition
of the loop before.

one.

check' now succeeds :-)
* An attribute set such as `{ foo = { enable = true; };
foo.port = 23; }' now parses. It was previously rejected, but I'm
too lazy to implement the check. (The only reason to reject it is
that the reverse, `{ foo.port = 23; foo = { enable = true; }; }', is
rejected, which is kind of ugly.)

use site, allowing environments to be stores as vectors of values
rather than maps. This should speed up evaluation and reduce the
number of allocations.

allowed. So `name1@name2', `{attrs1}@{attrs2}' and so on are now no
longer legal. This is no big loss because they were not useful
anyway.
This also changes the output of builtins.toXML for @-patterns
slightly.

attributes of the rec are in scope of `e'. This is useful in
expressions such as
rec {
lib = import ./lib;
inherit (lib) concatStrings;
}
It does change the semantics of expressions such as
let x = {y = 1;}; in rec { x = {y = 2;}; inherit (x) y; }.y
This now returns 2 instead of 1. However, no code in Nixpkgs or
NixOS seems to rely on the old behaviour.

shorthand for {x = {y = {z = ...;};};}. This is especially useful
for NixOS configuration files, e.g.
{
services = {
sshd = {
enable = true;
port = 2022;
};
};
}
can now be written as
{
services.sshd.enable = true;
services.sshd.port = 2022;
}
However, it is currently not permitted to write
{
services.sshd = {enable = true;};
services.sshd.port = 2022;
}
as this is considered a duplicate definition of `services.sshd'.

in attribute set pattern matches. This allows defining a function
that takes *at least* the listed attributes, while ignoring
additional attributes. For instance,
{stdenv, fetchurl, fuse, ...}:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
...
};
defines a function that requires an attribute set that contains the
specified attributes but ignores others. The main advantage is that
we can then write in all-packages.nix
aefs = import ../bla/aefs pkgs;
instead of
aefs = import ../bla/aefs {
inherit stdenv fetchurl fuse;
};
This saves a lot of typing (not to mention not having to update
all-packages.nix with purely mechanical changes). It saves as much
typing as the "args: with args;" style, but has the advantage that
the function arguments are properly declared (not implicit in what
the body of the "with" uses).
|
|
f = args @ {x, y, z}: ...;
`args' refers to the argument as a whole, which is further
pattern-matched against the attribute set pattern {x, y, z}.
