	Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2014-01-14	Allow "bare" dynamic attrs	Shea Levy	2	-0/+3
	Now, in addition to a."${b}".c, you can write a.${b}.c (applicable wherever dynamic attributes are valid). Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2014-01-09	Update Makefiles	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+1

2013-12-31	Don't use any syntactic sugar for dynamic attrs	Shea Levy	4	-128/+68
	This doesn't change any functionality but moves some behavior out of the parser and into the evaluator in order to simplify the code. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2013-12-31	Fold dynamic binds handling into addAttr	Shea Levy	1	-55/+35
	Since addAttr has to iterate through the AttrPath we pass it, it makes more sense to just iterate through the AttrNames in addAttr instead. As an added bonus, this allows attrsets where two dynamic attribute paths have the same static leading part (see added test case for an example that failed previously).

2013-12-31	Dynamic attrs	Shea Levy	4	-23/+238
	This adds new syntax for attribute names: * attrs."${name}" => getAttr name attrs * attrs ? "${name}" => isAttrs attrs && hasAttr attrs name * attrs."${name}" or def => if attrs ? "${name}" then attrs."${name}" else def * { "${name}" = value; } => listToAttrs [{ inherit name value; }] Of course, it's a bit more complicated than that. The attribute chains can be arbitrarily long and contain combinations of static and dynamic parts (e.g. attrs."${foo}".bar."${baz}" or qux), which is relatively straightforward for the getAttrs/hasAttrs cases but is more complex for the listToAttrs case due to rules about duplicate attribute definitions. For attribute sets with dynamic attribute names, duplicate static attributes are detected at parse time while duplicate dynamic attributes are detected when the attribute set is forced. So, for example, { a = null; a.b = null; "${"c"}" = true; } will be a parse-time error, while { a = {}; "${"a"}".b = null; c = true; } will be an eval-time error (technically that case could theoretically be detected at parse time, but the general case would require full evaluation). Moreover, duplicate dynamic attributes are not allowed even in cases where they would be with static attributes ({ a.b.d = true; a.b.c = false; } is legal, but { a."${"b"}".d = true; a."${"b"}".c = false; } is not). This restriction might be relaxed in the future in cases where the static variant would not be an error, but it is not obvious that that is desirable. Finally, recursive attribute sets with dynamic attributes have the static attributes in scope but not the dynamic ones. So rec { a = true; "${"b"}" = a; } is equivalent to { a = true; b = true; } but rec { "${"a"}" = true; b = a; } would be an error or use a from the surrounding scope if it exists. Note that the getAttr, getAttr or default, and hasAttr are all implemented purely in the parser as syntactic sugar, while attribute sets with dynamic attribute names required changes to the AST to be implemented cleanly. This is an alternative solution to and closes #167 Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2013-12-31	Add the ExprBuiltin Expr type to the AST	Shea Levy	4	-9/+36
	Certain desugaring schemes may require the parser to use some builtin function to do some of the work (e.g. currently `throw` is used to lazily cause an error if a `<>`-style path is not in the search path) Unfortunately, these names are not reserved keywords, so an expression that uses such a syntactic sugar will not see the expected behavior (see tests/lang/eval-okay-redefine-builtin.nix for an example). This adds the ExprBuiltin AST type, which when evaluated uses the value from the rootmost variable scope (which of course is initialized internally and can't shadow any of the builtins).

2013-12-10	Bump language version for new storePath feature	Shea Levy	1	-1/+1
	This will allow e.g. channel expressions to use builtins.storePath IFF it is safe to do so without knowing if the path is valid yet. Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2013-12-10	builtins.storePath: Try to substitute the path if it is not yet valid	Shea Levy	1	-2/+2
	Signed-off-by: Shea Levy <shea@shealevy.com>
2013-11-25	Rename Makefile.new -> Makefile	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+0

2013-11-23	Use libnix as a prefix for all Nix libraries	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2
	In particular "libutil" was always a problem because it collides with Glibc's libutil. Even if we install into $(libdir)/nix, the linker sometimes got confused (e.g. if a program links against libstore but not libutil, then ld would report undefined symbols in libstore because it was looking at Glibc's libutil).
2013-11-23	Drop the dependency on libgc in libmain	Eelco Dolstra	2	-0/+22
	Instead, libexpr now depends on libgc. This means commands like nix-store that don't do any evaluation no longer require libgc.
2013-11-23	Initialise Boehm GC only once	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+2

2013-11-23	Allow (dynamic) libraries to depend on other libraries	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+2

2013-11-23	Implement basic ‘make install’	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2013-11-22	Rename $(here) to $(d) for brevity, and remove trailing slash	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+5

2013-11-22	Generate the parser and the lexer	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+5

2013-11-22	New non-recursive, plain Make-based build system	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+10

2013-11-19	Add a toJSON primop	Eelco Dolstra	6	-24/+150

2013-11-18	Add a primop unsafeGetAttrPos to return the position of an attribute	Eelco Dolstra	4	-6/+37

2013-11-18	Add a symbol __curPos that expands to the current source location	Eelco Dolstra	5	-2/+37
	I.e. an attribute set { file = <string>; line = <int>; column = <int>; }.
2013-11-18	Support quoted attribute names in -A	Eelco Dolstra	1	-10/+34
	This is requires if you have attribute names with dots in them. So you can now say: $ nix-instantiate '<nixos>' -A 'config.systemd.units."postgresql.service".text' --eval-only Fixes #151.
2013-11-12	Make function calls show up in stack traces again	Eelco Dolstra	1	-20/+28
	Note that adding --show-trace prevents functions calls from being tail-recursive, so an expression that evaluates without --show-trace may fail with a stack overflow if --show-trace is given.
2013-11-12	Make function calls tail-recursive	Eelco Dolstra	4	-40/+65

2013-11-12	Make ifs and asserts tail-recursive	Eelco Dolstra	2	-4/+11
	The local Value object prevented g++ from making a tail call. Not clear why. In any case, not using a temporary makes g++ do the tail call.
2013-11-12	Get rid of an intermediary on the stack	Eelco Dolstra	2	-13/+17

2013-10-28	Fix building without a garbage collector	Eelco Dolstra	1	-5/+5
	http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6695350
2013-10-28	Fix a segfault in genericClosure	Eelco Dolstra	1	-16/+25
	It kept temporary data in STL containers that were not scanned by Boehm GC, so Nix programs using genericClosure could randomly crash if the garbage collector kicked in at a bad time. Also make it a bit more efficient by copying points to values rather than values.
2013-10-28	Slightly optimize listToAttrs	Eelco Dolstra	3	-9/+10

2013-10-24	Rename "attribute sets" to "sets"	Eelco Dolstra	8	-54/+47
	We don't have any other kind of sets so calling them attribute sets is unnecessarily verbose.
2013-10-24	Remove unnecessary call to forceStringNoCtx	Eelco Dolstra	1	-1/+1

2013-10-24	Add a typeOf primop	Eelco Dolstra	1	-3/+28
	We already have some primops for determining the type of a value, such as isString, but they're incomplete: for instance, there is no isPath. Rather than adding more isBla functions, the generic typeOf function returns a string representing the type of the argument (e.g. "int").
2013-10-24	Don't require NIX_SHOW_STATS for NIX_COUNT_CALLS	Eelco Dolstra	1	-0/+1

2013-10-23	Memoize evalFile() lookups under both the original and resolved name	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+9
	Previously we only used the resolved name, causing repeated resolution (e.g. /dir to /dir/default.nix).
2013-10-17	Fold two stack trace messages in derivations	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+2
	Combined with the previous changes, stack traces involving derivations are now much less verbose, since something like while evaluating the builtin function `getAttr': while evaluating the builtin function `derivationStrict': while instantiating the derivation named `gtk+-2.24.20' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/gtk+/2.x.nix:11:3': while evaluating the derivation attribute `propagatedNativeBuildInputs' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/stdenv/generic/default.nix:78:17': while evaluating the attribute `outPath' at `/nix/store/212ngf4ph63mp6p1np2bapkfikpakfv7-nix-1.6/share/nix/corepkgs/derivation.nix:18:9': ... now reads while evaluating the attribute `propagatedNativeBuildInputs' of the derivation `gtk+-2.24.20' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/libraries/gtk+/2.x.nix:11:3': ...
2013-10-17	Don't show <nix/derivation.nix> in stack traces	Eelco Dolstra	3	-2/+5
	Messages like while evaluating the attribute `outPath' at `/nix/store/212ngf4ph63mp6p1np2bapkfikpakfv7-nix-1.6/share/nix/corepkgs/derivation.nix:18:9': are redundant, because Nix already shows that it's evaluating a derivation: while instantiating the derivation named `firefox-24.0' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/applications/networking/browsers/firefox/default.nix:131:5': while evaluating the derivation attribute `nativeBuildInputs' at `/home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/pkgs/stdenv/generic/default.nix:76:17':
2013-10-17	Ensure proper type checking/coercion of "${expr}"	Eelco Dolstra	1	-2/+3
	Now we only rewrite "${expr}" to expr if expr is a string literal.
2013-10-17	Revert the behaviour of antiquoted paths to pre-Nix 1.6	Eelco Dolstra	1	-4/+4
	Commit 159e621d1a9c4391b53f3d822109c36931934698 accidentally changed the behaviour of antiquoted paths, e.g. "${/foo}/bar" used to evaluate to "/nix/store/<hash>-foo/bar" (where /foo gets copied to the store), but in Nix 1.6 it evaluates to "/foo/bar". This is inconsistent, since " ${/foo}/bar" evaluates to " /nix/store/<hash>-foo/bar". So revert to the old behaviour.
2013-10-08	printStats(): Print the size of the symbol table in bytes	Eelco Dolstra	3	-0/+15

2013-10-08	Deduplicate filenames in Pos	Eelco Dolstra	3	-6/+7
	This saves ~4 MiB of RAM for NixOS system instantiation, and ~18 MiB for "nix-env -qa".
2013-10-08	Treat undefined variable errors consistently	Eelco Dolstra	3	-2/+8
	Previously, a undefined variable inside a "with" caused an EvalError (which can be caught), while outside, it caused a ParseError (which cannot be caught). Now both cause an UndefinedVarError (which cannot be caught).
2013-10-08	Show the exact position of undefined variables	Eelco Dolstra	4	-21/+18
	In particular, undefined variable errors in a "with" previously didn't show any position information, so this should help a lot in those cases.
