14fbf85380 * Set libgc's initial heap size to 384 MiB to prevent garbage 
collection in most cases (and therefore its performance overhead).

0c4828ea05 * new(UseGC) is inexplicably slower than GC_MALLOC, so prefer the 
latter.

43535499f3 * When allocating an attribute set, reserve enough space for all 
elements.  This prevents the vector from having to resize itself.

e0b7fb8f27 * Keep attribute sets in sorted order to speed up attribute lookups. 
* Simplify the representation of attributes in the AST.
* Change the behaviour of listToAttrs() in case of duplicate names.

2dc6d50941 * Don't create thunks for variable lookups (if possible). This 
significantly reduces the number of values allocated (e.g. from 8.7m
  to 4.9m for the Bittorrent test).

0b305c534f * Store attribute sets as a vector instead of a map (i.e. a red-black 
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).

8ac06726b9 * Make Value smaller by not storing redundant PrimOp info. 
* Clear pointers in Values after overwriting them to make sure that no
  objects are kept alive unnecessarily.

Eelco Dolstra
4dee289550 * In environments, store pointers to values rather than values. This 
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.

Eelco Dolstra
41c45a9b31 * Store Value nodes outside of attribute sets. I.e., Attr now stores 
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.

7119d38287 * In the referrers test, lower the nesting depth from 2500 to 1000 to 
prevent hitting a stack overflow bug in the garbage collector.

705868a8a9 * Make sure that config.h is included before the system headers, 
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.

450837bcc8 * In printMsg(), ignore failing writes to stderr if we're in an

  write errors in exception handlers to ensure that cleanup code runs
  to completion if the other side of stderr has been closed
  unexpectedly.

315d8fbd75 * Set the default system filter to "*". This ensures that (for 
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.

60b632b173 tests/build-hook.hook.sh: prefer more portable ... syntax over $(...) for running sub-shells 
The /bin/sh interpreter on Solaris doesn't understand $(...) syntax for running
sub-shells. Consequently, this test fails on Solaris. To remedy the situation,
the script either needs to be run by /bin/bash -- which is non-standard --, or
it needs to use the ancient but portable `...` syntax.
