2012-11-28 nix-env -q --out-path: Support multiple outputsEelco Dolstra4-12/+48
We now print all output paths of a package, e.g. openssl-1.0.0i bin=/nix/store/gq2mvh0wb9l90djvsagln3aqywqmr6vl-openssl-1.0.0i-bin;man=/nix/store/7zwf5r5hsdarl3n86dasvb4chm2xzw9n-openssl-1.0.0i-man;/nix/store/cj7xvk7fjp9q887359j75pw3pzjfmqf1-openssl-1.0.0i or (in XML mode) <item attrPath="openssl" name="openssl-1.0.0i" system="x86_64-linux"> <output name="bin" path="/nix/store/gq2mvh0wb9l90djvsagln3aqywqmr6vl-openssl-1.0.0i-bin" /> <output name="man" path="/nix/store/7zwf5r5hsdarl3n86dasvb4chm2xzw9n-openssl-1.0.0i-man" /> <output name="out" path="/nix/store/cj7xvk7fjp9q887359j75pw3pzjfmqf1-openssl-1.0.0i" /> </item>
2012-11-27 Optionally ignore null-valued derivation attributesEelco Dolstra3-11/+24
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".
2012-11-26 nix-instantiate: Fix read-only evaluationEelco Dolstra4-1/+15
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
2012-11-09 Fix a segfault when auto-calling a "a@{...}" functionEelco Dolstra1-5/+5
Since the called function can return its argument attribute set (e.g. "a"), the latter should not be allocated on the stack. Reported by Shea.
2012-10-23 prim_toPath: Actually make the string a pathShea Levy1-1/+3
2012-10-04 getDerivation(): Don't always quietly ignore assertion failureEelco Dolstra2-15/+21
Ignoring assertion failures makes some sense for nix-env -qa, but not for nix-instantiate/nix-build or hydra-eval-jobs.
2012-10-03 Add a ‘--repair’ flag to nix-instantiateEelco Dolstra3-4/+9
This allows repairing corrupted derivations and other source files.
2012-09-27 Allow dashes in identifiersEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
In Nixpkgs, the attribute in all-packages.nix corresponding to a package is usually equal to the package name. However, this doesn't work if the package contains a dash, which is fairly common. The convention is to replace the dash with an underscore (e.g. "dbus-lib" becomes "dbus_glib"), but that's annoying. So now dashes are valid in variable / attribute names, allowing you to write: dbus-glib = callPackage ../development/libraries/dbus-glib { }; and buildInputs = [ dbus-glib ]; Since we don't have a negation or subtraction operation in Nix, this is unambiguous.

2012-08-13 Avoid concatenating lists of one stringEelco Dolstra2-2/+2
2012-08-13 Don't allocate empty listsEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
This saves about 4 MB when evaluating a NixOS system configuration.
2012-08-13 Optimise concatenating a list to an empty listEelco Dolstra1-2/+10
More precisely, in concatLists, if all lists except one are empty, then just return the non-empty list. This reduces the number of list element allocations by 32% when evaluating a NixOS system configuration.
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 Dolstra3-8/+33
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 Dolstra2-1/+26
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 more evaluations statsEelco Dolstra2-1/+12
2012-08-12 Add some basic profiling support to the evaluatorEelco Dolstra4-4/+62
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
