2014-06-10 Print a warning when loading a large path into memoryEelco Dolstra1-0/+27
I.e. if you have a derivation with src = ./huge-directory; you'll get a warning that this is not a good idea.
2014-03-12 Remove unnecessary null pointer checksEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
Fixes #225.
2013-06-07 Process stderr from substituters while doing have/info queriesEelco Dolstra1-0/+6
2012-02-09 Use data() instead of c_str() where appropriateEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2011-12-16 * importPath() -> importPaths(). Because of buffering of the inputEelco Dolstra1-5/+11
stream it's now necessary for the daemon to process the entire sequence of exported paths, rather than letting the client do it.
2011-12-16 * Avoid expensive conversions from char arrays to STL strings.Eelco Dolstra1-3/+18
2011-12-16 * Make the import operation through the daemon much more efficientEelco Dolstra1-12/+30
(way fewer roundtrips) by allowing the client to send data in bigger chunks. * Some refactoring.
2011-12-16 * Clean up exception handling.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+9
2011-12-15 * Refactoring: move sink/source buffering into separate classes.Eelco Dolstra1-23/+46
* Buffer the HashSink. This speeds up hashing a bit because it prevents lots of calls to the hash update functions (e.g. nix-hash went from 9.3s to 8.7s of user time on the closure of my /var/run/current-system).
2011-12-15 * Buffer reads in FdSource. Together with write buffering, thisEelco Dolstra1-1/+23
significantly cuts down the number of syscalls (e.g., for "nix-store -qR /var/run/current-system" via the daemon, it reduced the number of syscalls in the client from 29134 to 4766 and in the daemon from 44266 to 20666).
2011-12-14 * Buffer writes in FdSink. This significantly reduces the number ofEelco Dolstra1-1/+24
system calls / context switches when dumping a NAR and in the worker protocol.
2009-03-22 * NAR archives: handle files larger than 2^32 bytes. Previously itEelco Dolstra1-2/+2
would just silently store only (fileSize % 2^32) bytes. * Use posix_fallocate if available when unpacking archives. * Provide a better error message when trying to unpack something that isn't a NAR archive.
2008-06-18 * Some refactoring: put the GC options / results in separate structs.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+31
* The garbage collector now also prints the number of blocks freed.
2008-05-21 * GCC 4.3.0 (Fedora 9) compatibility fixes. Reported by Gour andEelco Dolstra1-0/+2
Armijn Hemel.
2006-12-04 * Daemon mode (`nix-worker --daemon'). Clients connect to the serverEelco Dolstra1-3/+4
via the Unix domain socket in /nix/var/nix/daemon.socket. The server forks a worker process per connection. * readString(): use the heap, not the stack. * Some protocol fixes.
2006-11-30 * More remote operations.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+18
* Added new operation hasSubstitutes(), which is more efficient than querySubstitutes().size() > 0.
2006-11-30 * Skeleton of the privileged worker program.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+87
* Some refactoring: put the NAR archive integer/string serialisation code in a separate file so it can be reused by the worker protocol implementation.
