From 878dc6c22717971f5dd4720f314f36c47a0c762e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vincent Ambo Date: Sun, 20 Nov 2022 23:52:09 +0100 Subject: fix(tvix/eval): aggressively fix a borrow error in nix_eq When comparing Nix values for equality, an issue can occur where recursive values contain thunks to themselves which causes borrow errors when forcing them for comparison later down the line. To work around this we clone the values for now. There might be some optimisations possible like checking for thunk equality directly and short-circuiting on that (we have to check what Nix does).
