  function.
 2003-11-19 17:27:16 +00:00

fd7ac09f10 * Refactoring (step 2). 2003-11-19 12:03:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
ac68840e79 * Refactoring: put the Nix expression evaluator in its own library so 
that it can be used by multiple programs.
 2003-11-19 11:35:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
2be8b5917a * Use `sdftable -s' to get warnings about the grammar. 
* Several bug fixes in the grammar.
* Allow one-line comments (#... and //...) to end in EOF.
 2003-11-19 10:04:03 +00:00

dfc9c64ead * "Fix expression" -> "Nix expression". 
* More refactoring.

b1117ef29d * nix -> nix-store, fix -> nix-instantiate. 2003-11-18 11:38:25 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
ce92d1bf14 * "Nix expression" -> "store expression". 
* More refactoring.

9f0f020929 * libnix -> libstore. 2003-11-18 10:55:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
8798fae304 * Source tree refactoring. 2003-11-18 10:47:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
45610ae675 * An forward non-random access input iterator class for ATermLists. 2003-11-16 18:31:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
3e5a019a07 * Some utility functions for working with ATerms. 2003-11-16 17:46:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
06ae269c7c * Do not filter when parsing. This is much faster. 
* Add some rejections and lexical restrictions to the grammar to make
  this work.
 2003-11-10 11:00:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
15801c88fa * Turned the msg() and debug() functions into macros, since they 
turned out to be a huge performance bottleneck (the text to printed
  would always be evaluated, even when it was above the verbosity
  level).  This reduces fix-ng execution time by over 50%.

  gprof(1) is very useful. :-)
 2003-11-09 10:35:45 +00:00

90e26d392c * Allow null in derivation bindings. 2003-11-06 15:24:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
cfaea07444 * `null' is a nullary primop. 2003-11-06 14:41:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
569e7940f8 * Allow `+' in path names. 2003-11-06 14:41:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
fa18f1f184 * Assertions. 
* Logical operators (!, &&, ||, ->).
 2003-11-05 16:27:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
e17e95a828 * Print a shared textual ATerm if the term if very large. Due to 
substitutions, Fix terms are very large when printed as trees (in 
  memory, they are quite compact due to sharing).
 2003-11-05 16:20:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
80bb477cc4 * Default function arguments. 2003-11-05 15:34:12 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
0690c1c9c0 * Work around problems with the ATerm library. 
The ATerm library doesn't search the heap for pointers to ATerms
  when garbage collecting.  As a result, C++ containers such as
  `map<ATerm, ATerm>' will cause pointer to be hidden from the garbage
  collector, causing crashes.  Instead, we now use ATermTables.
 2003-11-03 20:30:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
ff31324278 * Ignore options passed to the aterm library. 2003-11-03 18:21:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
e2655aa332 * Shorter list syntax ([a b c] instead of [a, b, c]). 2003-11-03 11:59:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
ad0976f8d5 * Grammar changes. Attributes in attribute sets are now delimited with 
semicolons instead of comma's.  Final semicolon in the set is optional.
 2003-11-03 10:21:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
40986312bb * Boolean constants. 2003-11-02 17:36:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
adf9a45469 * Primops: baseNameOf, toString. 2003-11-02 16:31:35 +00:00

1610444671 * Conditions, string equality. 2003-11-01 19:15:08 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
1b4184ccbb * Let syntax. 2003-11-01 19:10:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
a2a9bacd82 * Filter the substitution list when descending into a recursive 
attribute set.
 2003-11-01 19:10:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
9210d4d530 * Working evaluator. 
* Mutually recursive attribute sets.
* Print evaluator efficiency statistics.
 2003-10-31 17:09:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
f1c1a3c97f * Allow empty attribute (argument) sets. 2003-10-31 12:21:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
7db08cc924 * Use SGparseString() instead of SGparseFile() because the latter is 
buggy.  It fails to clear an internal variable (SG_textIndex)
  between invocations, so it can be called only once during a program
  execution.
 2003-10-31 11:22:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
403cb9327f * Factor out evaluation into a separate file. 2003-10-30 16:48:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
9f8f39aa3c * Clean up the imploded parse tree. Quotes around strings are 
removed, paths are absolutised relative to the path containing the
  expression we just parsed, and integer literals are converted to
  actual integers.
 2003-10-30 16:18:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
e537844f4e * Bottomup rewrite function. 2003-10-30 16:11:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
442b09ea33 * Don't use a search path. 2003-10-30 16:10:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
933b3f677d * Attribute selection operator. 2003-10-30 16:10:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
b95a3dc45b * Basic grammar and parser for the Fix language. We use libsglr and 
friends to do the parsing.  The parse table is embedded in the Fix
  executable using bin2c, which converts an arbitrary file into a C
  character array.
 2003-10-29 16:05:03 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
4d728f6a36 * Forked new version of Fix. 2003-10-29 15:05:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
92eea8fc4e * Fix a race condition in addTextToStore(). 2003-10-23 10:51:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
c4e7d324b8 * Use writeFull(). 2003-10-22 13:29:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
9d95aafe8c * Ad hoc per-package logging. When Nix performs a derivation, it now 
writes stdout/stderr of the builder to ${prefix}/var/log/nix/x,
  where x is the file name of the derivation expression, e.g.,

    /nix/var/log/nix/54256391624be04fcb426048ae3ea0a4-d-pan-0.14.2.nix

  Note that consecutive builds of the same expression overwrite,
  rather than append to, existing log files.
 2003-10-22 11:04:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
143427f90b * Dead code removal. 2003-10-22 10:53:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
4a8948b7a6 * Some wrapper classes to ensure that file descriptors / directory 
handles are closed when they go out of scope.
 2003-10-22 10:48:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
c62433751d * Finished refactoring the tree. 2003-10-20 10:05:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
53e376d836 * Refactored the source tree. 2003-10-20 09:20:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
0791282b2f * Substitutes and nix-pull now work again. 
* Fixed a segfault caused by the buffering of stderr.
* Fix now allows the specification of the full output path.  This
  should be used with great care, since it by-passes the normal hash
  generation.
* Incremented the version number to 0.4 (prerelease).
 2003-10-16 16:29:57 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
c78bf11524 * Enable buffering of stderr in C++. 2003-10-16 11:55:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
f7c7aad135 * Upgraded to Berkeley DB 4.1.25 and do not synchronously flush the 
log on commit.  This means that there is a small change that some
  transactions may be rolled back in case of a system crash, but this
  should not be a problem (it merely might cause some expression
  realisations to be rolled back), and it vastly improves performance.

* Upgraded to ATerm 2.0.5 (which also includes Armijn's 64-bit
  patches).
 2003-10-16 08:52:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
181aa3dc41 * Don't sort the result of `--query --list'. 2003-10-16 08:06:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
ebff82222c * Refactoring: move all database manipulation into store.cc. 
* Removed `--query --generators'.
 2003-10-15 12:42:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
c190f051ac * Automatically recover the database in case of a crash. 2003-10-14 15:33:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
1d61e473c8 * New query `nix --query --predecessors' to print the predecessors of 
a Nix expression.
 2003-10-10 15:25:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
0abe185688 * `nix --verify': check and repair reverse mapping for successors. 2003-10-10 15:14:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
d3d5e77810 * Reverse mappings for the successor and substitute mappings. 2003-10-10 14:46:28 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
1eb4da156c * Performance improvement: don't register already registered terms, 
thus greatly reducing the number of db transactions.
 2003-10-10 13:22:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
6baa2c4420 * Get rid of identifiers since they are redundant now. This greatly 
simplifies stuff.

* The format of Nix expressions and the database schema changed
  because of this, so it's best to delete old Nix installations.
 2003-10-08 15:06:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
b9f4942bd2 * string -> Path. 2003-10-07 14:37:41 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
5d4171f7fb * Synchronise terminology with the ICSE paper (e.g., slice -> closure, 
fstate -> Nix expression).
* Fix src/test.cc.
 2003-10-07 12:27:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
e78f753aa8 * Include the right files in a distribution. 2003-10-02 12:22:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
4193d62e08 * Nix now respects $TMPDIR for the creation of temporary build directories. 
* Retry creation of a temporary directory (with a different name) in the 
  case of EEXIST.
 2003-10-02 11:55:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
1c7d6bf5fc * Removed references to char_traits so that boost/format also works on 
GCC 2.95.
 2003-09-11 10:23:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
d930a9bc5a * Added some missing #includes. 2003-09-11 08:31:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
803a924b77 * Make nicer dot graphs. Also show the inner structure of slices. 2003-09-03 14:49:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
c0bbed0959 * Factored out dot graph generation into a separate file. 2003-09-03 11:20:18 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
0d2bc68681 * Do not show the output of the builder unless the verbosity is at 
least at debug level (-vvv).  The output is still appended to the 
  build log in /nix/var/log/nix.
 2003-08-29 13:12:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
b018517314 * Do not try to remove write permission from symlinks, since chmod() 
follows symlinks.  (Note that the permissions on symlinks are
  ignored anyway.)
 2003-08-28 10:51:14 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
31be53cd0a * Fix the atrocious (exponential? factorial?) time complexity in 
`nix --query --requisites'.
 2003-08-25 14:56:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
a88144215c * Remove write permission from output paths after they have been built. 
* Point $HOME to a non-existing path when building to prevent certain tools (such as 
  wget) from falling back on /etc/passwd to locate the home directory (which we 
  don't want them to look at since it's not declared as an input).
 2003-08-22 20:12:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
956801fcc2 * Use maps and sets in the FState data type. This ensures normalisation of 
slices and derivations w.r.t. order of paths, slice elements, etc.
 2003-08-20 14:11:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
624c48260f * Change the abstract syntax of slices. It used to be that ids were used as 
keys to reference slice elements, e.g.,

    Slice(["1ef7..."], [("/nix/store/1ef7...-foo", "1ef7", ["8c99..."]), ...])

  This was wrong, since ids represent contents, not locations.  Therefore we
  now have:

    Slice(["/nix/store/1ef7..."], [("/nix/store/1ef7...-foo", "1ef7", ["/nix/store/8c99-..."]), ...])

* Fix a bug in the computation of slice closures that could cause slice
  elements to be duplicated.
 2003-08-20 12:39:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
ed0db2e0d8 * Fixed a serious bug in the computation of slices. Sometimes the slices 
would not be properly closed under the path reference relation.
 2003-08-20 11:30:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
1472cc4825 * Pipe /dev/null into stdin. 2003-08-19 13:07:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
2de8504791 * Delete the temporary directories of failed builds by default, and an 
option `--keep-failed' to override this behaviour.
 2003-08-19 09:04:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
31e4aa6439 * Allow lists in package bindings, e.g., 
("srcs", [Relative("foo/bar.c"), Relative("foo/baz.h")])

  The result is an environment variable that contains the path names of the
  inputs separated by spaces (so this is not safe for values containing
  spaces).
 2003-08-18 16:32:55 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
ebbb6ce578 * Most shells initialise PATH to some default (/bin:/usr/bin:...) 
when PATH is not set.  We don't want this, so fill it in with
  some dummy value.
 2003-08-18 14:54:54 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
96c7b98bf0 * Argument support in Fix. Arguments can be passed through the 
builder using the `args' binding:

  ("args", ["bla", True, IncludeFix("aterm/aterm.fix")])

  Note that packages can also be declared as inputs by specifying them
  in the argument list.
 2003-08-15 13:01:45 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
555347744d * Derivation expressions now can specify arguments to be passed to the 
builder.  Note that this unfortunately causes all Fix-computed
  hashes to change.
 2003-08-15 12:32:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
163db7367f * Fix can now read expressions from stdin (by saying `fix -'). 2003-08-15 09:21:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
dc0ef2ca98 * Detect infinite loops using blackholing. 2003-08-14 12:37:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
5cde23f869 * Function() takes a list of formals. 2003-08-14 09:49:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
0a2de7f543 * Lam -> Function. Doh! 2003-08-14 09:29:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
c602930e08 * deletePath(): some operating systems (e.g., Mac OS X) don't like it 
when we delete entries from a directory while we are reading it.
  So read the directory into memory, then delete its contents.
 2003-08-08 14:55:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
236eb59293 * Allow locks on paths to be acquired recursively (that is, if the 
process is already holding a lock on a path, it may acquire the lock
  again without blocking or failing).  (This might be dangerous, not
  sure).  Necessary for fast builds to work.
 2003-08-06 09:34:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
720f06e3b0 * A flag `--flat' to just compute the MD5 checksum of the contents of 
a regular file.  I.e., `nix-hash --flat' is equivalent to the
  coreutils `md5sum' command (which doesn't exist on all systems).
 2003-08-06 09:06:32 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
37483672d4 * App -> Call. 
* Allow booleans in package environment bindings (True maps to "1",
  False maps to "").
 2003-08-06 09:05:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
d34b4d4f28 * Conditionals. 2003-08-05 13:05:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
4ce652640b * Cache result of fstatePaths(). TODO: do this in fstore.cc. 2003-08-05 12:29:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
17f05dba77 * Allow the top-level expression to be a list of expressions that 
normalise to Nix expression.
 2003-08-05 11:13:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
d6b6b2d3a8 * Delete obstructed paths prior to building. 2003-08-05 09:47:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
d2e963f7a3 * Path locking in addToStore() and expandPath(). 2003-08-04 07:09:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
c95b4ad290 * In normaliseFState(), wrap registration of the output paths and the 
normal form in a single transaction to ensure that if we crash,
  either everything is registered or nothing is.  This is for
  recoverability: unregistered paths in the store can be deleted
  arbitrarily, while registered paths can only be deleted by running
  the garbage collector.
 2003-08-01 15:41:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
d99d04e644 * Defensive programming against POSIX locking idiocy. 
* Simplified realiseSlice().
 2003-08-01 15:06:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
545145cd58 * normaliseFState() now locks all output paths prior to building, thus 
ensuring that simultaneous invocations of Nix don't clobber
  each other's  builds.

* Fixed a bug in `make install'.
 2003-08-01 14:11:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
9df93f30bd * Don't use substitutes in addToStore(). 2003-08-01 09:01:51 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
06434072e7 * Put the database verifier in a transaction. 2003-07-31 19:49:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
06d3d7355d * Enclose most operations that update the database in transactions. 
* Open all database tables (Db objects) at initialisation time, not
  every time they are used.  This is necessary because tables have to
  outlive all transactions that refer to them.
 2003-07-31 16:05:35 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
177a7782ae * Use a more reasonable log file size (256 KB instead of 10 MB). 
* Checkpoint on exit.
 2003-07-31 14:28:49 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
4a013962bd * Started using Berkeley DB environments. This is necessary for 
transaction support (but we don't actually use transactions yet).
 2003-07-31 13:47:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
758bd4673a * Set execute bit. 2003-07-31 13:13:27 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
83075304e5 * Don't make the builder executable. 2003-07-30 09:49:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
8846465934 * Get garbage collection and cache population to work *properly*. 
Renamed `fstateRefs' to `fstateRequisites'.  The semantics of this
  function is that it returns a list of all paths necessary to realise
  a given expression.  For a derive expression, this is the union of
  requisites of the inputs; for a slice expression, it is the path of
  each element in the slice.  Also included are the paths of the
  expressions themselves.  Optionally, one can also include the
  requisites of successor expressions (to recycle intermediate
  results).

* `nix-switch' now distinguishes between an expression and its normal
  form.  Usually, only the normal form is registered as a root of the
  garbage collector.  With the `--source-root' flag, it will also
  register the original expression as a root.

* `nix-collect-garbage' now has a flag `--keep-successors' which
  causes successors not to be included in the list of garbage paths.

Eelco Dolstra
1a7468a57a * Debug levels. Use `--verbose / -v LEVEL' to display only messages 
up to the given verbosity levels.  These currently are:

    lvlError = 0, 
    lvlNormal = 5,

  although only lvlError and lvlDebug are actually used right now.

b75719b984 * Don't sync the database on close. This was killing performance. 
(Of course, the real problem is that we open the database for

Eelco Dolstra
e877c69d78 * Substitutes now should produce a path with the same id as they are 
substituting for (obvious, really).

* For greater efficiency, nix-pull/unnar will place the output in a
  path that is probably the same as what is actually needed, thus
  preventing a path copy.

* Even if a output id is given in a Fix package expression, ensure
  that the resulting Nix derive expression has a different id.  This
  is because Nix expressions that are semantically equivalent (i.e.,
  build the same result) might be different w.r.t. efficiency or
  divergence.  It is absolutely vital for the substitute mechanism
  that such expressions are not used interchangeably.

Eelco Dolstra
249988a787 * Allow the output/expression id to be forced to a certain 
value; this potentially dangerous feature enables better

Eelco Dolstra
54664b6fb7 * The write() system call can write less than the requested 
number of bytes, e.g., in case of a signal like SIGSTOP.  
  This caused `nix --dump' to fail sometimes.

  Note that this bug went unnoticed because the call to `nix 
  --dump' is in a pipeline, and the shell ignores non-zero 
  exit codes from all but the last element in the pipeline.  
  Is there any way to check the result of the initial elements
  in the pipeline?  (In other words, is it at all possible to 
  write reliable shell scripts?)
 2003-07-16 21:24:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
6822fd7bf4 * Bug fix: slices are transitive, so if we detect that an 
input path is referenced in an output paths, we also have to

e5fbf58041 * A command to register successor fstate expressions. 
Unifying substitutes and successors isn't very feasible for now,
  since substitutes are only used when no path with a certain is
  known.  Therefore, a normal form of some expression stored as a
  substitute would not be used unless the expression itself was
  missing.
 2003-07-10 18:48:11 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
1d1c3691d2 * The policy-free derivate sharing now *almost* works. :-) For any 
hash for which no local expansion is available, Nix can execute a
  `substitute' which should produce a path with such a hash.

  This is policy-free since Nix does not in any way specify how the
  substitute should work, i.e., it's an arbitrary (unnormalised)
  fstate expression.  For example, `nix-pull' registers substitutes
  that fetch Nix archives from the network (through `wget') and unpack
  them, but any other method is possible as well.  This is an
  improvement over the old Nix sharing scheme, which had a policy
  (fetching through `wget') built in.

  The sharing scheme doesn't work completely yet because successors
  from fstate rewriting have to be registered on the receiving side.
  Probably the whole successor stuff can be folded up into the
  substitute mechanism; this would be a nice simplification.
