Eelco Dolstra 543988572e * Sync with the trunk. 2011-02-09 12:25:53 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra aeae0beba4 * Clang compatibility fix. Clang actually checks template definitions
when they are defined
2011-02-05 16:29:10 +00:00
Ludovic Courtès 3854fc9b42 Remove useless <config.h> inclusion from public header. 2011-01-14 13:55:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 9db190eb31 * builtins.substring: if "start" is beyond the end of the string,
return the empty string.
2011-01-14 12:47:10 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra c931a7aec5 * Do a short sleep after SQLITE_BUSY. 2010-12-17 17:23:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b1eb252172 * Propagate the "100" exit status for failed builds through the Nix
daemon.
2010-12-17 11:28:26 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3dd02580e3 * I forgot to catch SQLiteBusy in registerValidPaths(). So
registerValidPaths() now handles busy errors and registerValidPath()
  is simply a wrapper around it.
2010-12-14 13:25:20 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d787285af9 * nix-instantiate: return exit status 100 to denote a permanent build
failure.  The build hook can use this to distinguish between
  transient and permanent failures on the remote side.
2010-12-13 16:53:23 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 5833243c92 * Create /nix/var/nix/db if it's missing. 2010-12-13 13:42:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 100becf8d1 * createDirs(path): if path already exists, make sure it's a
directory.
* Provide a C++ wrapper around lstat().
2010-12-13 13:32:58 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra d7ca6f44eb * Update some comments. 2010-12-13 13:19:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e4720b1a79 * Ignore the result of sqlite3_reset(). 2010-12-08 18:19:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8062d3af30 * `nix-store --verify --check-contents': don't hold the global GC lock
while checking the contents, since this operation can take a very
  long time to finish.  Also, fill in missing narSize fields in the DB
  while doing this.
2010-12-06 15:29:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra de79d23f76 * Retry a transaction if SQLite returns SQLITE_BUSY. This can happen
even with a very long busy timeout, because SQLITE_BUSY is also
  returned to resolve deadlocks.  This should get rid of random
  "database is locked" errors.  This is kind of hard to test though.
* Fix a horrible bug in deleteFromStore(): deletePathWrapped() should
  be called after committing the transaction, not before, because the
  commit might not succeed.
2010-12-05 18:23:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 77f7a6d591 * Quick hack around one of the pathological cases in bsdiff
(namely, when there is a long region of 0s).  On one 86 MiB
  case, this cut patch generation time from 44m to 2m.
2010-11-29 17:07:04 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 703e5a2ce2 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-11-25 14:09:13 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 812fae424e * DrvInfo contains pointers to expressions, so DrvInfos should be
traced by the garbage collector.  Otherwise "nix-env -u" can crash
  randomly.
2010-11-25 13:47:34 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bdf089f463 * Before a build, show the disk space that the downloaded store paths
will approximately require.
2010-11-17 14:31:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e60c962fb8 * Add an operation `nix-store -q --size'. 2010-11-17 12:40:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 1db6259076 * Implement RemoteStore::queryPathInfo(). 2010-11-17 12:08:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a3883cbd28 * Store the size of a store path in the database (to be precise, the
size of the NAR serialisation of the path, i.e., `nix-store --dump
  PATH').  This is useful for Hydra.
2010-11-16 17:11:46 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra fb9368b5a0 * Sync with the trunk. 2010-11-16 12:49:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 26def5392f * Document Boehm GC support. 2010-10-29 14:44:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 14fbf85380 * Set libgc's initial heap size to 384 MiB to prevent garbage
collection in most cases (and therefore its performance overhead).
2010-10-29 13:11:50 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 0c4828ea05 * new(UseGC) is inexplicably slower than GC_MALLOC, so prefer the
latter.
2010-10-28 12:50:01 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e11e6fb1c6 * Handle out of memory condition. 2010-10-28 12:29:40 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 43535499f3 * When allocating an attribute set, reserve enough space for all
elements.  This prevents the vector from having to resize itself.
2010-10-24 20:09:37 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e0b7fb8f27 * Keep attribute sets in sorted order to speed up attribute lookups.
* Simplify the representation of attributes in the AST.
* Change the behaviour of listToAttrs() in case of duplicate names.
2010-10-24 19:52:33 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 2dc6d50941 * Don't create thunks for variable lookups (if possible). This
significantly reduces the number of values allocated (e.g. from 8.7m
  to 4.9m for the Bittorrent test).
2010-10-24 14:20:02 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 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).
2010-10-24 00:41:29 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra a247d20604 * Fix compiling without Boehm.
* Fix the stats.
2010-10-23 22:58:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra b2ba62170c * Optimise string constants by putting them in the symbol table. 2010-10-23 21:11:59 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 8ac06726b9 * Make Value smaller by not storing redundant PrimOp info.
* Clear pointers in Values after overwriting them to make sure that no
  objects are kept alive unnecessarily.
2010-10-23 20:07:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 3f66cfb96b * Remove allocValues(). 2010-10-23 18:18:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4dee289550 * In environments, store pointers to values rather than values. This
improves GC effectiveness a bit more (because a live value doesn't
  keep other values in the environment plus the parent environments
  alive), and removes the need for copy nodes.
2010-10-22 15:51:52 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 41c45a9b31 * Store Value nodes outside of attribute sets. I.e., Attr now stores
a pointer to a Value, rather than the Value directly.  This improves
  the effectiveness of garbage collection a lot: if the Value is
  stored inside the set directly, then any live pointer to the Value
  causes all other attributes in the set to be live as well.
2010-10-22 14:47:42 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 64c3325b0b * Make building against the Boehm GC a configure option. 2010-10-22 13:39:15 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 76feaf016a * Keep some more stats. 2010-10-20 15:48:00 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e879a0371b * Use the Boehm garbage collector to reclaim unused memory in the Nix
expression evaluator.
2010-10-20 11:38:30 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 64fd29855a * Wrap deleteFromStore() in a transaction. Otherwise there might be a
race with other processes that add new referrers to a path,
  resulting in the garbage collector crashing with "foreign key
  constraint failed".  (Nix/4)
* Make --gc --print-dead etc. interruptible.
2010-10-14 15:55:51 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 705868a8a9 * Make sure that config.h is included before the system headers,
because it defines _FILE_OFFSET_BITS.  Without this, on 
  OpenSolaris the system headers define it to be 32, and then 
  the 32-bit stat() ends up being called with a 64-bit "struct 
  stat", or vice versa.

  This also ensures that we get 64-bit file sizes everywhere.

* Remove the redundant call to stat() in parseExprFromFile().
  The file cannot be a symlink because that's the exit condition
  of the loop before.
2010-10-04 17:55:38 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 95f4f2cf61 * If std::tr1::unordered_set is unavailable, use std::set. 2010-10-04 16:16:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 71dfe4b90b * Sync with the trunk. 2010-10-04 11:44:47 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 450837bcc8 * In printMsg(), ignore failing writes to stderr if we're in an
exception handler, otherwise throw an exception.  We need to ignore
  write errors in exception handlers to ensure that cleanup code runs
  to completion if the other side of stderr has been closed
  unexpectedly.
2010-10-04 11:23:07 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 4aa9245083 * Hack needed for GCC 4.3.2 on OpenSolaris. 2010-10-04 10:51:16 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 923736df38 * Doh. Remove debug message. 2010-09-14 12:47:19 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e4907411c2 * Only do "pragma journal_mode = ..." if the current journal mode
differs from the desired mode.  There is an open SQLite ticket
  `Executing "PRAGMA journal_mode" may delete journal file while it is
  in use.'
2010-09-01 11:36:22 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra bf0dde9597 * Always print hook output on stderr, even if --no-build-output is
set.
* In the build hook, print a trace message to allow Hydra to pick up
  the name of the remote machine used for the build.
2010-08-31 12:36:24 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra e2e168f7c2 `nix-store --verify' improvements:
* If a path has disappeared, check its referrers first, and don't try
  to invalidate paths that have valid referrers.  Otherwise we get a
  foreign key constraint violation.
* Read the whole Nix store directory instead of statting each valid
  path, which is slower.
* Acquire the global GC lock.
2010-08-31 11:47:31 +00:00
Eelco Dolstra 80e722278c * When using the build hook, distinguish between the stderr of the
hook script proper, and the stdout/stderr of the builder.  Only the
  latter should be saved in /nix/var/log/nix/drvs.
* Allow the verbosity to be set through an option.
* Added a flag --quiet to lower the verbosity level.
