2013-08-19 Store Nix integers as longsEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
So on 64-bit systems, integers are now 64-bit. Fixes #158.
2013-08-02 Let the ordering operators also work on stringsEelco Dolstra1-3/+6
E.g. ‘"foo" < "bar"’ now works.
2013-03-08 Revert "Prevent config.h from being clobbered"Eelco Dolstra1-0/+16
This reverts commit 28bba8c44f484eae38e8a15dcec73cfa999156f6.
2013-03-07 Prevent config.h from being clobberedEelco Dolstra1-16/+0
2013-02-08 Rename "hash" to "hashString" and handle SHA-1Eelco Dolstra1-19/+9
2013-02-08 experimental/hashMarc Weber1-0/+26
adding primop function calculating hash of a string Signed-off-by: Marc Weber <marco-oweber@gmx.de>
2012-12-04 Tiny optimisation in the filter primopEelco Dolstra1-2/+9
2012-11-27 Optionally ignore null-valued derivation attributesEelco Dolstra1-10/+22
This allows adding attributes like attr = if stdenv.system == "bla" then something else null; without changing the resulting derivation on non-<bla> platforms. We once considered adding a special "ignore" value for this purpose, but using null seems more elegant.
2012-11-27 Add builtin constants ‘langVersion’ and ‘nixVersion’Eelco Dolstra1-0/+10
The integer constant ‘langVersion’ denotes the current language version. It gets increased every time a language feature is added/changed/removed. It's currently 1. The string constant ‘nixVersion’ contains the current Nix version, e.g. "1.2pre2980_9de6bc5".
2012-11-15 Revert "prim_toPath: Actually make the string a path"Eelco Dolstra1-3/+1
This reverts commit 2980d1fba97069805c3649c5d99d0356bce6c303. It causes a regression in NixOS evaluation: string `/nix/store/ya3s5gmj3b28170fpbjhgsk8wzymkpa1-pommed-1.39/etc/pommed.conf' cannot refer to other paths
2012-10-23 prim_toPath: Actually make the string a pathShea Levy1-1/+3
2012-10-03 Add a ‘--repair’ flag to nix-instantiateEelco Dolstra1-3/+3
This allows repairing corrupted derivations and other source files.

2012-08-13 Add a primop ‘elemAt’ to get an element from a listEelco Dolstra1-5/+19
2012-08-13 Add a primop ‘concatLists’Eelco Dolstra1-0/+10
This can serve as a generic efficient list builder. For instance, the function ‘catAttrs’ in Nixpkgs can be rewritten from attr: l: fold (s: l: if hasAttr attr s then [(getAttr attr s)] ++ l else l) [] l to attr: l: builtins.concatLists (map (s: if hasAttr attr s then [(getAttr attr s)] else []) l) Statistics before: time elapsed: 1.08683 size of a value: 24 environments allocated: 1384376 (35809568 bytes) list elements: 6946783 (55574264 bytes) list concatenations: 37434 values allocated: 1760440 (42250560 bytes) attribute sets allocated: 392040 right-biased unions: 186334 values copied in right-biased unions: 591137 symbols in symbol table: 18273 number of thunks: 1297673 number of thunks avoided: 1380759 number of attr lookups: 430802 number of primop calls: 628912 number of function calls: 1333544 Statistics after (including new catAttrs): time elapsed: 0.959854 size of a value: 24 environments allocated: 1010198 (26829296 bytes) list elements: 1984878 (15879024 bytes) list concatenations: 30488 values allocated: 1589760 (38154240 bytes) attribute sets allocated: 392040 right-biased unions: 186334 values copied in right-biased unions: 591137 symbols in symbol table: 18274 number of thunks: 1040925 number of thunks avoided: 1038428 number of attr lookups: 438419 number of primop calls: 474844 number of function calls: 959366
2012-08-13 Provide an efficient implementation of ‘elem’Eelco Dolstra1-2/+17
The one in Nixpkgs is O(n^2), this one is O(n). Big reduction in the number of list allocations. Statistics before (on a NixOS system config): time elapsed: 1.17982 size of a value: 24 environments allocated: 1543334 (39624560 bytes) list elements: 9612638 (76901104 bytes) list concatenations: 37434 values allocated: 1854933 (44518392 bytes) attribute sets allocated: 392040 right-biased unions: 186334 values copied in right-biased unions: 591137 symbols in symbol table: 18272 number of thunks: 1392467 number of thunks avoided: 1507311 number of attr lookups: 430801 number of primop calls: 691600 number of function calls: 1492502 Statistics after: time elapsed: 1.08683 size of a value: 24 environments allocated: 1384376 (35809568 bytes) list elements: 6946783 (55574264 bytes) list concatenations: 37434 values allocated: 1760440 (42250560 bytes) attribute sets allocated: 392040 right-biased unions: 186334 values copied in right-biased unions: 591137 symbols in symbol table: 18273 number of thunks: 1297673 number of thunks avoided: 1380759 number of attr lookups: 430802 number of primop calls: 628912 number of function calls: 1333544
2012-08-13 Add a "filter" primopEelco Dolstra1-0/+25
Evaluation of a NixOS configuration spends quite a lot of time in the "filter" function in Nixpkgs. As implemented in Nixpkgs, this is a O(n^2) operation, so it's a good candidate for providing a more efficient (i.e. primop) implementation. Using it gives a ~10% speed increase and a significant reduction in the number of evaluations. Statistics before (on a NixOS system config): time elapsed: 1.3258 size of a value: 24 environments allocated: 1980939 (50127080 bytes) list elements: 14679308 (117434464 bytes) list concatenations: 50828 values allocated: 2098938 (50374512 bytes) attribute sets allocated: 392040 right-biased unions: 186334 values copied in right-biased unions: 591137 symbols in symbol table: 18271 number of thunks: 1645752 number of thunks avoided: 1921196 number of attr lookups: 430798 number of primop calls: 838807 number of function calls: 1930107 Statistics after: time elapsed: 1.17982 size of a value: 24 environments allocated: 1543334 (39624560 bytes) list elements: 9612638 (76901104 bytes) list concatenations: 37434 values allocated: 1854933 (44518392 bytes) attribute sets allocated: 392040 right-biased unions: 186334 values copied in right-biased unions: 591137 symbols in symbol table: 18272 number of thunks: 1392467 number of thunks avoided: 1507311 number of attr lookups: 430801 number of primop calls: 691600 number of function calls: 1492502
2012-08-12 Add some basic profiling support to the evaluatorEelco Dolstra1-1/+2
Setting the environment variable NIX_COUNT_CALLS to 1 enables some basic profiling in the evaluator. It will count calls to functions and primops as well as evaluations of attributes. For example, to see where evaluation of a NixOS configuration spends its time: $ NIX_SHOW_STATS=1 NIX_COUNT_CALLS=1 ./src/nix-instantiate/nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A system --readonly-mode ... calls to 39 primops: 239532 head 233962 tail 191252 hasAttr ... calls to 1595 functions: 224157 `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix:17:19' 221767 `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix:17:14' 221767 `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/lists.nix:17:10' ... evaluations of 7088 attributes: 167377 undefined position 132459 `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/attrsets.nix:119:41' 47322 `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/attrsets.nix:13:21' ...

2012-07-25 prim_import: When importing .drvs, allocate the intermediate attrset on the ↵Shea Levy1-1/+1
heap just in case it escapes the stack frame.
2012-07-25 import: If the path is a valid .drv file, parse it and generate a derivation ↵Shea Levy1-1/+25
attrset. The generated attrset has drvPath and outPath with the right string context, type 'derivation', outputName with the right name, all with a list of outputs, and an attribute for each output. I see three uses for this (though certainly there may be more): * Using derivations generated by something besides nix-instantiate (e.g. guix) * Allowing packages provided by channels to be used in nix expressions. If a channel installed a valid deriver for each package it provides into the store, then those could be imported and used as dependencies or installed in environment.systemPackages, for example. * Enable hydra to be consistent in how it treats inputs that are outputs of another build. Right now, if an input is passed as an argument to the job, it is passed as a derivation, but if it is accessed via NIX_PATH (i.e. through the <> syntax), then it is a path that can be imported. This is problematic because the build being depended upon may have been built with non-obvious arguments passed to its jobset file. With this feature, hydra can just set the name of that input to the path to its drv file in NIX_PATH

2012-07-12 builtins.storePath: resolve symlinksEelco Dolstra1-1/+5
Needed for Charon/Hydra interaction.
2012-07-09 prim_import(): prefetch substitute info in parallel using queryMissing()Eelco Dolstra1-0/+6
2012-06-27 nix-store -r: do substitutions in parallelEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
I.e. when multiple non-derivation arguments are passed to ‘nix-store -r’ to be substituted, do them in parallel.
2012-02-04 * Inline some functions and get rid of the indirection throughEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
EvalState::eval(). This gives a 12% speedup on ‘nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos/ -A system --readonly-mode’ (from 1.01s to 0.89s).
2012-01-26 * Fix importing a derivation. This gave a segfault.Eelco Dolstra1-8/+23
2012-01-19 * Add some debug output to print the derivation name once it's known.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+4
This makes it easier to pinpoint the source of a crash.

2011-12-21 * The ‘foo.drvPath’ feature was already broken in read-only mode.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+2
Since it's rarely used and fixing it is too much work right now, just document it.

2011-09-16 Add information about which output is active to drvPath's contextShea Levy1-4/+6
This will break things that depend on being able to just strip away an equals sign, so those have to be updated next

active
2011-09-14 First attempt at the output-as-derivation semanticsShea Levy1-9/+27
For each output, this adds a corresponding attribute to the derivation that is the same as the derivation except for outPath, which is set to the path specific to that output. Additionally, an "all" attribute is added that is a list of all of the output derivations. This has to be done outside of derivationStrict as each output is itself a derivation that contains itself (and all other outputs) as an attribute. The derivation itself is equivalent to the first output in the outputs list (or "out" if that list isn't set).
2011-08-31 * Eliminate all uses of the global variable ‘store’ from libstore.Eelco Dolstra1-4/+4
This should also fix: nix-instantiate: ./../boost/shared_ptr.hpp:254: T* boost::shared_ptr<T>::operator->() const [with T = nix::StoreAPI]: Assertion `px != 0' failed. which was caused by hashDerivationModulo() calling the ‘store’ object (during store upgrades) before openStore() assigned it.

the EvalState class.
2011-07-20 * Don't allow derivations with fixed and non-fixed outputs.Eelco Dolstra1-43/+38
2011-07-20 * Fix a huuuuge security hole in the Nix daemon. It didn't check thatEelco Dolstra1-61/+3
derivations added to the store by clients have "correct" output paths (meaning that the output paths are computed by hashing the derivation according to a certain algorithm). This means that a malicious user could craft a special .drv file to build *any* desired path in the store with any desired contents (so long as the path doesn't already exist). Then the attacker just needs to wait for a victim to come along and install the compromised path. For instance, if Alice (the attacker) knows that the latest Firefox derivation in Nixpkgs produces the path /nix/store/1a5nyfd4ajxbyy97r1fslhgrv70gj8a7-firefox-5.0.1 then (provided this path doesn't already exist) she can craft a .drv file that creates that path (i.e., has it as one of its outputs), add it to the store using "nix-store --add", and build it with "nix-store -r". So the fake .drv could write a Trojan to the Firefox path. Then, if user Bob (the victim) comes along and does $ nix-env -i firefox $ firefox he executes the Trojan injected by Alice. The fix is to have the Nix daemon verify that derivation outputs are correct (in addValidPath()). This required some refactoring to move the hash computation code to libstore.
