5bc41d78ff Rename "attribute sets" to "sets"
We don't have any other kind of sets so calling them attribute sets is
unnecessarily verbose.

18a48d80a0 Show function names in error messages
Functions in Nix are anonymous, but if they're assigned to a
variable/attribute, we can use the variable/attribute name in error
messages, e.g.

while evaluating `concatMapStrings' at `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/nixos/nixpkgs/pkgs/lib/strings.nix:18:25':

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).

95f4f2cf61 * If std::tr1::unordered_set is unavailable, use std::set. 2010-10-04 16:16:19 +00:00

816f9c0f6f * Use std::tr1::unordered_set instead of std::set for the symbol
table.  This gives a 10% speed increase on `nix-instantiate
  /etc/nixos/nixos -A system --readonly-mode'.

ac1e8f40d4 * Use a symbol table to represent identifiers and attribute names
efficiently.  The symbol table ensures that there is only one copy
  of each symbol, thus allowing symbols to be compared efficiently
  using a pointer equality test.
