2017-03-31 builtins.exec: Make the argument just a listShea Levy1-22/+9
2017-03-30 Add exec primop behind allow-unsafe-native-code-during-evaluation.Shea Levy1-1/+55
Execute a given program with the (optional) given arguments as the user running the evaluation, parsing stdout as an expression to be evaluated. There are many use cases for nix that would benefit from being able to run arbitrary code during evaluation, including but not limited to: * Automatic git fetching to get a sha256 from a git revision * git rev-parse HEAD * Automatic extraction of information from build specifications from other tools, particularly language-specific package managers like cabal or npm * Secrets decryption (e.g. with nixops) * Private repository fetching Ideally, we would add this functionality in a more principled way to nix, but in the mean time 'builtins.exec' can be used to get these tasks done. The primop is only available when the 'allow-unsafe-native-code-during-evaluation' nix option is true. That flag also enables the 'importNative' primop, which is strictly more powerful but less convenient (since it requires compiling a plugin against the running version of nix).

2017-01-26 Add support for passing structured data to buildersEelco Dolstra1-39/+88
Previously, all derivation attributes had to be coerced into strings so that they could be passed via the environment. This is lossy (e.g. lists get flattened, necessitating configureFlags vs. configureFlagsArray, of which the latter cannot be specified as an attribute), doesn't support attribute sets at all, and has size limitations (necessitating hacks like passAsFile). This patch adds a new mode for passing attributes to builders, namely encoded as a JSON file ".attrs.json" in the current directory of the builder. This mode is activated via the special attribute __structuredAttrs = true; (The idea is that one day we can set this in stdenv.mkDerivation.) For example, stdenv.mkDerivation { __structuredAttrs = true; name = "foo"; buildInputs = [ pkgs.hello pkgs.cowsay ]; doCheck = true; hardening.format = false; } results in a ".attrs.json" file containing (sans the indentation): { "buildInputs": [], "builder": "/nix/store/ygl61ycpr2vjqrx775l1r2mw1g2rb754-bash-4.3-p48/bin/bash", "configureFlags": [ "--with-foo", "--with-bar=1 2" ], "doCheck": true, "hardening": { "format": false }, "name": "foo", "nativeBuildInputs": [ "/nix/store/10h6li26i7g6z3mdpvra09yyf10mmzdr-hello-2.10", "/nix/store/4jnvjin0r6wp6cv1hdm5jbkx3vinlcvk-cowsay-3.03" ], "propagatedBuildInputs": [], "propagatedNativeBuildInputs": [], "stdenv": "/nix/store/f3hw3p8armnzy6xhd4h8s7anfjrs15n2-stdenv", "system": "x86_64-linux" } "passAsFile" is ignored in this mode because it's not needed - large strings are included directly in the JSON representation. It is up to the builder to do something with the JSON representation. For example, in bash-based builders, lists/attrsets of string values could be mapped to bash (associative) arrays.

This reverts commit f78126bfd6b6c8477fcdbc09b2f98772dbe9a1e7. There really is no need for such a massive change...

2016-10-26 Fix SIGFPE from integer overflow during divisionTuomas Tynkkynen1-3/+9
On some architectures (like x86_64 or i686, but not ARM for example) overflow during integer division causes a crash due to SIGFPE. Reproduces on a 64-bit system with: nix-instantiate --eval -E '(-9223372036854775807 - 1) / -1' The only way this can happen is when the smallest possible integer is divided by -1, so just special-case that.

2016-09-14 Enable HTTP/2 supportEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
The binary cache store can now use HTTP/2 to do lookups. This is much more efficient than HTTP/1.1 due to multiplexing: we can issue many requests in parallel over a single TCP connection. Thus it's no longer necessary to use a bunch of concurrent TCP connections (25 by default). For example, downloading 802 .narinfo files from https://cache.nixos.org/, using a single TCP connection, takes 11.8s with HTTP/1.1, but only 0.61s with HTTP/2. This did require a fairly substantial rewrite of the Downloader class to use the curl multi interface, because otherwise curl wouldn't be able to do multiplexing for us. As a bonus, we get connection reuse even with HTTP/1.1. All downloads are now handled by a single worker thread. Clients call Downloader::enqueueDownload() to tell the worker thread to start the download, getting a std::future to the result.
2016-08-29 forceBool(): Show position infoEelco Dolstra1-9/+10
2016-08-29 Add builtin function "partition"Eelco Dolstra1-0/+35
The implementation of "partition" in Nixpkgs is O(n^2) (because of the use of ++), and for some reason was causing stack overflows in multi-threaded evaluation (not sure why). This reduces "nix-env -qa --drv-path" runtime by 0.197s and memory usage by 298 MiB (in non-Boehm mode).
2016-08-17 Add a mechanism for derivation attributes to reference the derivation's outputsEelco Dolstra1-0/+14
For example, you can now say: configureFlags = "--prefix=${placeholder "out"} --includedir=${placeholder "dev"}"; The strings returned by the ‘placeholder’ builtin are replaced at build time by the actual store paths corresponding to the specified outputs. Previously, you had to work around the inability to self-reference by doing stuff like: preConfigure = '' configureFlags+=" --prefix $out --includedir=$dev" ''; or rely on ad-hoc variable interpolation semantics in Autoconf or Make (e.g. --prefix=\$(out)), which doesn't always work.

2016-04-25 Improved logging abstractionEelco Dolstra1-4/+4
This also gets rid of --log-type, since the nested log type isn't useful in a multi-threaded situation, and nobody cares about the "pretty" log type.
2016-04-14 Make the search path lazier with non-fatal errorsEelco Dolstra1-11/+12
Thus, -I / $NIX_PATH entries are now downloaded only when they are needed for evaluation. An error to download an entry is a non-fatal warning (just like non-existant paths). This does change the semantics of builtins.nixPath, which now returns the original, rather than resulting path. E.g., before we had [ { path = "/nix/store/hgm3yxf1lrrwa3z14zpqaj5p9vs0qklk-nixexprs.tar.xz"; prefix = "nixpkgs"; } ... ] but now [ { path = "https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-16.03/nixexprs.tar.xz"; prefix = "nixpkgs"; } ... ] Fixes #792.

2016-02-04 Eliminate the "store" global variableEelco Dolstra1-29/+28
Also, move a few free-standing functions into StoreAPI and Derivation. Also, introduce a non-nullable smart pointer, ref<T>, which is just a wrapper around std::shared_ptr ensuring that the pointer is never null. (For reference-counted values, this is better than passing a "T&", because the latter doesn't maintain the refcount. Usually, the caller will have a shared_ptr keeping the value alive, but that's not always the case, e.g., when passing a reference to a std::thread via std::bind.)

Also show types when nix cannot compare values of different types. This is also more consistent since types are already shown when comparing values of the same not comparable type.

2015-07-23 Optimize small listsEelco Dolstra1-58/+58
The value pointers of lists with 1 or 2 elements are now stored in the list value itself. In particular, this makes the "concatMap (x: if cond then [(f x)] else [])" idiom cheaper.
