2010-10-29 * Document Boehm GC support.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2010-10-29 * Set libgc's initial heap size to 384 MiB to prevent garbageEelco Dolstra1-0/+12
collection in most cases (and therefore its performance overhead).
2010-10-28 * new(UseGC) is inexplicably slower than GC_MALLOC, so prefer theEelco Dolstra1-4/+4
latter.
2010-10-28 * Handle out of memory condition.Eelco Dolstra5-10/+28
2010-10-24 * When allocating an attribute set, reserve enough space for allEelco Dolstra4-28/+21
elements. This prevents the vector from having to resize itself.
2010-10-24 * Keep attribute sets in sorted order to speed up attribute lookups.Eelco Dolstra11-146/+184
* Simplify the representation of attributes in the AST. * Change the behaviour of listToAttrs() in case of duplicate names.
2010-10-24 * Don't create thunks for variable lookups (if possible). ThisEelco Dolstra3-23/+60
significantly reduces the number of values allocated (e.g. from 8.7m to 4.9m for the Bittorrent test).
2010-10-24 * Store attribute sets as a vector instead of a map (i.e. a red-blackEelco Dolstra7-90/+129
tree). This saves a lot of memory. The vector should be sorted so that names can be looked up using binary search, but this is not the case yet. (Surprisingly, looking up attributes using linear search doesn't have a big impact on performance.) Memory consumption for $ nix-instantiate /etc/nixos/nixos/tests -A bittorrent.test --readonly-mode on x86_64-linux with GC enabled is now 185 MiB (compared to 946 MiB on the trunk).
2010-10-23 * Fix compiling without Boehm.Eelco Dolstra1-10/+8
* Fix the stats.
2010-10-23 * Optimise string constants by putting them in the symbol table.Eelco Dolstra4-39/+55
2010-10-23 * Make Value smaller by not storing redundant PrimOp info.Eelco Dolstra2-25/+44
* Clear pointers in Values after overwriting them to make sure that no objects are kept alive unnecessarily.
2010-10-23 * Remove allocValues().Eelco Dolstra4-36/+14
2010-10-22 * In environments, store pointers to values rather than values. ThisEelco Dolstra2-35/+25
improves GC effectiveness a bit more (because a live value doesn't keep other values in the environment plus the parent environments alive), and removes the need for copy nodes.
2010-10-22 * Store Value nodes outside of attribute sets. I.e., Attr now storesEelco Dolstra15-130/+150
a pointer to a Value, rather than the Value directly. This improves the effectiveness of garbage collection a lot: if the Value is stored inside the set directly, then any live pointer to the Value causes all other attributes in the set to be live as well.
2010-10-22 * Make building against the Boehm GC a configure option.Eelco Dolstra5-14/+29
2010-10-20 * Keep some more stats.Eelco Dolstra2-0/+12
2010-10-20 * Use the Boehm garbage collector to reclaim unused memory in the NixEelco Dolstra5-15/+29
expression evaluator.
2010-10-04 * Make sure that config.h is included before the system headers,Eelco Dolstra12-29/+29
because it defines _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. Without this, on OpenSolaris the system headers define it to be 32, and then the 32-bit stat() ends up being called with a 64-bit "struct stat", or vice versa. This also ensures that we get 64-bit file sizes everywhere. * Remove the redundant call to stat() in parseExprFromFile(). The file cannot be a symlink because that's the exit condition of the loop before.
2010-10-04 * If std::tr1::unordered_set is unavailable, use std::set.Eelco Dolstra1-0/+9
2010-10-04 * In printMsg(), ignore failing writes to stderr if we're in anEelco Dolstra1-1/+10
exception handler, otherwise throw an exception. We need to ignore write errors in exception handlers to ensure that cleanup code runs to completion if the other side of stderr has been closed unexpectedly.
2010-10-04 * Hack needed for GCC 4.3.2 on OpenSolaris.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2010-09-14 * Doh. Remove debug message.Eelco Dolstra1-1/+0
2010-08-27 * Oops - "null" was displayed as "true".Eelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2010-08-12 * Make --cores work when building through the Nix daemon.Eelco Dolstra3-1/+7
2010-08-04 * Remove "auto" and "guess" as synonyms for 0 in the handling ofEelco Dolstra1-14/+3
build-cores and --cores. They're superfluous and just complicate the parsing.
2010-08-04 * Set the default system filter to "*". This ensures that (forEelco Dolstra1-7/+13
instance) "nix-env -i wine" works on x86_64-linux, even though Wine is built on i686-linux. In the event that there are multiple matching derivations, prefer those built for the current system.
2010-08-02 * Optimisation in the // operator: if one of the sets is empty, returnEelco Dolstra1-6/+8
the other set.
2010-08-02 * intersectAttrs: optimise for the case where the second set is largerEelco Dolstra1-7/+7
than the first set. (That's usually the case with callPackage.)
2010-07-15 src/bsdiff-4.3/Makefile.am: include the 'compat-include' directory in ↵Peter Simons1-0/+2
distribution tarballs
2010-06-24 Fix build of bsdiff-4.3 on machines that don't have <err.h>, such as Solaris.Peter Simons2-1/+13
2010-06-24 src/libutil/util.cc: include <limit.h> to ensure that PATH_MAX is definedPeter Simons1-0/+1
2010-06-24 Include <cstring> to ensure that strcpy(), strlen(), and memset() are declared.Peter Simons3-0/+6
An "using namespace std" was added locally in those functions that refer to names from <cstring>. That is not pretty, but it's a very portable solution, because strcpy() and friends will be found in both the 'std' and in the global namespace.
2010-06-23 Added support for passing an (impure) NIX_BUILD_CORES variable to build ↵Peter Simons4-0/+23
expressions. This patch adds the configuration file variable "build-cores" and the command line argument "--cores". These settings specify the number of CPU cores to utilize for parallel building within a job, i.e. by passing an appropriate "-j" flag to GNU Make. The default value is 1, which means that parallel building is *disabled*. If the number of build cores is specified as 0 (synonymously: "guess" or "auto"), then the actual value is supposed to be auto-detected by builders at run-time, i.e by calling the nproc(1) utility from coreutils. The environment variable $NIX_BUILD_CORES is available to builders, but the contents of that variable does *not* influence the hash that goes into the $out store path, i.e. the number of build cores to be utilized can be changed at will without requiring any re-builds.
2010-06-14 * In importPath() and exportPath(), lock the temporary directory toEelco Dolstra1-0/+4
prevent it from being deleted by the garbage collector.
2010-06-10 * builtins.toXML: propagate the string context. This is a regressionEelco Dolstra3-5/+12
from the old ATerm-based evaluator.
2010-06-04 * Applied a patch from David Brown to prevent `nix-store --optimise'Eelco Dolstra1-1/+15
from failing on rename() on BtrFS.

2010-05-30 * Remove an accidentally committed debug statement.Eelco Dolstra1-2/+0

2010-05-15 * Restore the __overrides feature that was lost somewhere in theEelco Dolstra2-3/+21

2010-05-12 * Implemented tryEval, the last missing primop in the fast-evalEelco Dolstra1-12/+6
branch. Also added a test for tryEval.
