7d0f6aed59 * New primop `unsafeDiscardStringContext' to get rid of string
contexts.  Needed to prevent unnecessary dependencies when building
  the NixOS manual.

*why* the test failed...

1e90b4189d * Another insane Mac OS X 10.5 compatibility hack. 2007-12-14 14:15:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra
485d71c54a * Mac OS X 10.5 compatibility: echo -n foo' suddenly prints -n foo'
instead of `foo' without a newline (with /bin/sh, not /bin/bash,
  even though /bin/sh is also bash...).  So use printf instead.

b42ef9c054 * Syntax to escape '', ${. 2007-12-06 10:20:58 +00:00

6d6c68c0d2 * Added a new kind of multi-line string literal delimited by two
single quotes.  Example (from NixOS):

    job = ''
      start on network-interfaces

      start script

        rm -f /var/run/opengl-driver
        ${if videoDriver == "nvidia"        
          then "ln -sf ${nvidiaDrivers} /var/run/opengl-driver"
          else if cfg.driSupport
          then "ln -sf ${mesa} /var/run/opengl-driver"
          else ""
        }

        rm -f /var/log/slim.log

      end script
    '';

  This style has two big advantages:

  - \, ' and " aren't special, only '' and ${.  So you get a lot less
    escaping in shell scripts / configuration files in Nixpkgs/NixOS.
    The delimiter '' is rare in scripts (and can usually be written as
    "").  ${ is also fairly rare.

    Other delimiters such as <<...>>, {{...}} and <|...|> were also
    considered but this one appears to have the fewest drawbacks
    (thanks Martin).

  - Indentation is intelligently stripped so that multi-line strings
    can follow the nesting structure of the containing Nix
    expression.  E.g. in the example above 6 spaces are stripped from
    the start of each line.  This prevents unnecessary indentation in
    generated files (which sometimes even breaks things).

  See tests/lang/eval-okay-ind-string.nix for some examples.

633518628f * nix-env -e: support uninstalling by path, so that one can say
$ nix-env -e $(which firefox)

  or

    $ nix-env -e /nix/store/nywzlygrkfcgz7dfmhm5xixlx1l0m60v-pan-0.132

* nix-env -i: if an argument contains a slash anywhere, treat it as a
  path and follow it through symlinks into the Nix store.  This allows
  things like

    $ nix-build -A firefox
    $ nix-env -i ./result

* nix-env -q/-i/-e: don't complain when the `*' selector doesn't match
  anything.  In particular, `nix-env -q \*' doesn't fail anymore on an
  empty profile.

455a7b9577 * Test case to show that parallel builds of different fixed-output
derivations that produce the same output path don't work properly
  wrt locking.  This happens a lot in the build farm when fetchurl
  derivations downloading the same file on different platforms are
  executed in parallel and then copied back to the main machine.

ca00aa1171 * Allow empty argument lists in function definitions (e.g., `{}:
bla').  Also allow trailing commas (`{x, y,}: ...') as a unintented
  consequence.  Hopefully the reduce/reduce conflict won't cause any
  problems.

7349bd0176 New primitives:
* `sub' to subtract two numbers.
* `stringLength' to get the length of a string.
* `substring' to get a substring of a string.  These should be enough
  to allow most string operations to be expressed.

e4b0666f8e * builtins.filterSource: pass the type of the file ("regular",
"directory", "symlink") as the second argument to the filter
  predicate.

info, sort attribute sets.

a3e6415ba8 * New primop builtins.filterSource, which can be used to filter files
from a source directory.  All files for which a predicate function
  returns true are copied to the store.  Typical example is to leave
  out the .svn directory:

    stdenv.mkDerivation {
      ...
      src = builtins.filterSource
        (path: baseNameOf (toString path) != ".svn")
        ./source-dir;
      # as opposed to
      #   src = ./source-dir;
    }

  This is important because the .svn directory influences the hash in
  a rather unpredictable and variable way.

1a7e88bbd9 * New built-in function `builtins.attrNames' that returns the

9e30694f98 * Fix the tests wrt the AST changes, i.e., Str(s) -> Str(s, []), and
the semantic changes.

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

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.

0e705391db * Primop `toPath' to convert a string to a path.

* Put common test functions in tests/lang/lib.nix.

Eelco Dolstra
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.

Eelco Dolstra
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
      ...
    ";
    ...
  }

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...)

evaluate its arguments.
