7d4567f2cc * Removed URIs from the evaluator (NIX-66). They are now just another
kind of notation for strings.

Eelco Dolstra
d20c3011a0 * toFile: added an additional argument to specify the store path
suffix, e.g., `builtins.toFile "builder.sh" "..."'.
* toFile: handle references to other files correctly.

ac19b333b3 * Finally, a real "let" syntax: `let x = ...; ... z = ...; in ...'. 2006-10-02 15:52:44 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
0e705391db * Primop `toPath' to convert a string to a path.
* Primop `pathExists' to check for path existence.

e47e0c2dbe * Builtin function `getEnv' for getting environment variables. 2006-09-24 17:48:41 +00:00

df8873e14a * lessThan primitive for integer comparison. 2006-09-24 15:21:48 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
2ab4bc44c7 * Builtin function `add' to add integers.
* Put common test functions in tests/lang/lib.nix.

d315210612 * Added a builtin function `isList' to test whether a value is a list.
With this primitive, a list-flattening function can be implemented
  (NIX-55, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-flatten.nix).

c02a44183f * Builtin functions head' and tail' to return the head and tail of
list.  Useful for lots of things, such as implementing a fold
  function (see NIX-30, example is in tests/lang/eval-okay-list.nix).
2006-09-22 14:46:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
8a1ab709a4 * New builtin functions builtins.{hasAttr, getAttr} to check for
attribute existence and to return an attribute from an attribute
  set, respectively.  Example: `hasAttr "foo" {foo = 1;}'.  They
  differ from the `?' and `.' operators in that the attribute name is
  an arbitrary expression.  (NIX-61)

0bd5eb71a0 * `nix-install-package --url': install from a URL (NIX-12).
* `nix-install-package --help' (NIX-9).
* `nix-install-package --non-interactive': don't prompt or pause.
* Tests for nix-install-package.
* Security fixes: filter the values obtained from the nixpkg.

7974aae81c * New primop: builtins.toFile, which writes a string into the store
and returns its path.  This can be used to (for instance) write
  builders inside a Nix expression, e.g.,

  stdenv.mkDerivation {
    builder = "
      source $stdenv/setup
      ...
    ";
    ...
  }
2006-09-01 12:07:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
de90fdf908 * Allow "$" in strings as long as they are not followed by "{". (Too
bad flex doesn't have lexical restrictions, the current solution
  isn't quite right...)

c9586b6c3f * Fix race condition in the test. 2006-09-01 12:02:39 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
f93f7b75be * Okay, that's a bit harder than expected. 2006-08-30 13:10:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
dce1afdc67 * TDD: == should do a deep equality test, i.e., it should strictly
evaluate its arguments.

1f6616dabf * Backwards compatibility test for ~. 2006-08-29 15:29:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
215ec2ddc6 * New primop __toXML (or builtins.toXML) to convert an expression to
an XML representation stored in a string.  This should be useful to
  pass structured information to builders.
2006-08-24 14:34:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
38f18aa6d4 * New primop: abort "error message". 2006-08-23 15:46:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
4a053bfdfd * A new primop `builtins', which returns an attribute set containing
all the primops.  This allows Nix expressions to test for new
  primops and take appropriate action if they're not available.  For
  instance, rather than calling a primop `foo' directly, they could
  say `if builtins ? foo then builtins.foo ... else ...'.

4874fd2d9a * Test for `nix-instantiate --eval-only --xml'. 2006-08-17 11:28:29 +00:00

fe101fa785 * Meh. 2006-08-16 10:29:43 +00:00

bfe19b3c37 * A test for NIX-53. 2006-08-16 10:23:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
f4c5531d92 * New language feature: domain checks, which check whether a function
argument has a valid value, i.e., is in a certain domain.  E.g.,

    { foo : [true false]
    , bar : ["a" "b" "c"]
    }: ...

  This previously could be done using assertions, but domain checks
  will allow the buildfarm to automatically extract the configuration
  space from functions.

Eelco Dolstra
c15f544356 * Call find-runtime-roots.pl from the garbage collector to prevent
running applications etc. from being garbage collected.

88e54153dc * Add a precise test for hashDerivatioModulo. 2006-07-19 15:49:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
2b4b0658fa * This expression has an undefined variable which isn't detected, so
evaluation fails:

    error: impossible: undefined variable `gcc'

d7f40357e3 * Skip this test on Cygwin, too slow (and doesn't test anything Cygwin-specific). 2006-06-16 13:27:36 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
c7d9397fc9 * Handle $PATHs with spaces. 2006-05-29 21:53:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
5cabd47394 * Allow function argument default values to refer to other arguments
of the function.  Implements NIX-45.

dca43ef795 * Tests for NIX-45. 2006-05-02 11:15:04 +00:00

0064599a27 * String interpolation. Expressions like
"--with-freetype2-library=" + freetype + "/lib"

  can now be written as

    "--with-freetype2-library=${freetype}/lib"

  An arbitrary expression can be enclosed within ${...}, not just
  identifiers.

* Escaping in string literals: \n, \r, \t interpreted as in C, any
  other character following \ is interpreted as-is.
  
* Newlines are now allowed in string literals.
2006-05-01 14:01:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
6cecad2be0 * Allow string concatenations involving derivations, e.g.,
configureFlags = "--with-freetype2-library="
      + freetype + "/lib";
2006-05-01 09:56:56 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
03162f8f47 * Unless --with-bzip2 is specified, use a copy of bzip2 in the
externals directory.  This is in particular useful because though
  most systems have bzip2/bunzip2, they don't always have libbz2,
  which we need for bsdiff/bspatch.
2006-04-25 10:45:53 +00:00

fdea084c36 * Allow `make check' to work in directories that have symlink
components.
2006-03-10 22:27:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
37d1b1cafd * `nix-env -qa --description' shows human-readable descriptions of
packages (provided that they have a `meta.description' attribute).
  E.g.,

  $ ./src/nix-env/nix-env -qa --description gcc
  gcc-4.0.2   GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for sparc-linux)
  gcc-4.0.2   GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for mips-linux)
  gcc-4.0.2   GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x (cross-compiler for arm-linux)
  gcc-4.0.2   GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x

a33fb2d287 * Oops. 2006-03-10 16:14:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
4ada6db1fc * `nix-env -q' now accepts arguments that allow specific derivations
to be queried, e.g., `nix-env -qa firefox'.  This does require the
  argument '*' to be passed if one wants information about all
  derivations, so the old `nix-env -qa' now is `nix-env -qa "*"'.

78d84f5631 * Tests for fixed-output derivations (and attribute selection, incidentally). 2006-03-01 18:26:21 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
2167bf6b72 * Tests to prevent a repeat of the parseHash32 debacle. 2006-03-01 18:11:41 +00:00

1bdceb421f * Doh! 2006-03-01 16:52:55 +00:00
