* src/libexpr/expr-to-xml.cc (nix::showAttrs): Add `location'
parameter. Provide location XML attributes when it's true. Update
callers.
(nix::printTermAsXML): Likewise.
* src/libexpr/expr-to-xml.hh (nix::printTermAsXML): Update prototype;
have `location' default to `false'.
* src/nix-instantiate/nix-instantiate.cc (printResult, processExpr): Add
`location' parameter; update callers.
(run): Add support for `--no-location'.
* src/nix-instantiate/help.txt: Update accordingly.
* tests/lang.sh: Invoke `nix-instantiate' with `--no-location' for the
XML tests.
* tests/lang/eval-okay-toxml.exp, tests/lang/eval-okay-to-xml.nix: New
files.
concatenation and string coercion. This was a big mess (see
e.g. NIX-67). Contexts are now folded into strings, so that they
don't cause evaluation errors when they're not expected. The
semantics of paths has been clarified (see nixexpr-ast.def).
toString() and coerceToString() have been merged.
Semantic change: paths are now copied to the store when they're in a
concatenation (and in most other situations - that's the
formalisation of the meaning of a path). So
"foo " + ./bla
evaluates to "foo /nix/store/hash...-bla", not "foo
/path/to/current-dir/bla". This prevents accidental impurities, and
is more consistent with the treatment of derivation outputs, e.g.,
`"foo " + bla' where `bla' is a derivation. (Here `bla' would be
replaced by the output path of `bla'.)
