2013-12-31 Add the ExprBuiltin Expr type to the ASTShea Levy4-9/+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).

Fixes #181.
2013-12-10 Bump language version for new storePath featureShea Levy1-1/+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 validShea Levy1-2/+2

2013-12-10 Garbage collector: Release locks on temporary root filesEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
This allows processes waiting for such locks to proceed during the trash deletion phase of the garbage collector.
2013-12-05 Print a trace message if a build fails due to the platform being unknownEelco Dolstra1-1/+4
2013-11-22 Include <cstring> for memsetEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
This should fix building on Illumos.

2013-11-19 Add a toJSON primopEelco Dolstra6-24/+150
2013-11-18 Add a primop unsafeGetAttrPos to return the position of an attributeEelco Dolstra4-6/+37
2013-11-18 Add a symbol __curPos that expands to the current source locationEelco Dolstra5-2/+37
I.e. an attribute set { file = <string>; line = <int>; column = <int>; }.
2013-11-18 Support quoted attribute names in -AEelco Dolstra1-10/+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.
2013-11-14 Remove nix-setuid-helperEelco Dolstra9-446/+32
AFAIK, nobody uses it, it's not maintained, and it has no tests.
2013-11-12 Make function calls show up in stack traces againEelco Dolstra4-26/+35
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-recursiveEelco Dolstra4-40/+65
2013-11-12 Make ifs and asserts tail-recursiveEelco Dolstra2-4/+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 stackEelco Dolstra2-13/+17
2013-10-28 Fix building without a garbage collectorEelco Dolstra1-5/+5
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/6695350
2013-10-28 Fix a segfault in genericClosureEelco Dolstra1-16/+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 listToAttrsEelco Dolstra3-9/+10
2013-10-24 Rename "attribute sets" to "sets"Eelco Dolstra9-59/+52
We don't have any other kind of sets so calling them attribute sets is unnecessarily verbose.
2013-10-24 Remove unnecessary call to forceStringNoCtxEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
2013-10-24 Add a typeOf primopEelco Dolstra1-3/+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_CALLSEelco Dolstra1-0/+1
2013-10-23 Memoize evalFile() lookups under both the original and resolved nameEelco Dolstra1-4/+9
Previously we only used the resolved name, causing repeated resolution (e.g. /dir to /dir/default.nix).
2013-10-22 For auto roots, show the intermediate linkEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
I.e. "nix-store -q --roots" will now show (for example) /home/eelco/Dev/nixpkgs/result rather than /nix/var/nix/gcroots/auto/53222qsppi12s2hkap8dm2lg8xhhyk6v
2013-10-17 Fold two stack trace messages in derivationsEelco Dolstra1-4/+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 tracesEelco Dolstra3-2/+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 "${expr}"Eelco Dolstra1-2/+3
Now we only rewrite "${expr}" to expr if expr is a string literal.
2013-10-17 Revert the behaviour of antiquoted paths to pre-Nix 1.6Eelco Dolstra1-4/+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.
2013-10-16 Retry all SQLite operationsEelco Dolstra2-128/+169
To deal with SQLITE_PROTOCOL, we also need to retry read-only operations.
2013-10-16 Fix a race in registerFailedPath()Eelco Dolstra1-2/+1
Registering the path as failed can fail if another process does the same thing after the call to hasPathFailed(). This is extremely unlikely though.
2013-10-16 Convenience macros for retrying a SQLite transactionEelco Dolstra1-46/+42
2013-10-16 Don't wrap read-only queries in a transactionEelco Dolstra1-6/+0
There is no risk of getting an inconsistent result here: if the ID returned by queryValidPathId() is deleted from the database concurrently, subsequent queries involving that ID will simply fail (since IDs are never reused).
2013-10-16 Print a distinct warning for SQLITE_PROTOCOLEelco Dolstra1-4/+8
2013-10-16 Treat SQLITE_PROTOCOL as SQLITE_BUSYEelco Dolstra1-1/+1
In the Hydra build farm we fairly regularly get SQLITE_PROTOCOL errors (e.g., "querying path in database: locking protocol"). The docs for this error code say that it "is returned if some other process is messing with file locks and has violated the file locking protocol that SQLite uses on its rollback journal files." However, the SQLite source code reveals that this error can also occur under high load: if( cnt>5 ){ int nDelay = 1; /* Pause time in microseconds */ if( cnt>100 ){ VVA_ONLY( pWal->lockError = 1; ) return SQLITE_PROTOCOL; } if( cnt>=10 ) nDelay = (cnt-9)*238; /* Max delay 21ms. Total delay 996ms */ sqlite3OsSleep(pWal->pVfs, nDelay); } i.e. if certain locks cannot be not acquired, SQLite will retry a number of times before giving up and returing SQLITE_PROTOCOL. The comments say: Circumstances that cause a RETRY should only last for the briefest instances of time. No I/O or other system calls are done while the locks are held, so the locks should not be held for very long. But if we are unlucky, another process that is holding a lock might get paged out or take a page-fault that is time-consuming to resolve, during the few nanoseconds that it is holding the lock. In that case, it might take longer than normal for the lock to free. ... The total delay time before giving up is less than 1 second. On a heavily loaded machine like lucifer (the main Hydra server), which often has dozens of processes waiting for I/O, it seems to me that a page fault could easily take more than a second to resolve. So, let's treat SQLITE_PROTOCOL as SQLITE_BUSY and retry the transaction. Issue NixOS/hydra#14.

2013-10-08 Deduplicate filenames in PosEelco Dolstra3-6/+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 consistentlyEelco Dolstra3-2/+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 variablesEelco Dolstra4-21/+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.
