This commit improves the pretty printing and adds support for antiquotes. It also fixes an issue with the parser that caused `[if true then false else true]` to parse successfully, even though that is not a valid nix expression. The pretty printer now produces a lot more readable output and also supports operator precedences. The changes to the AST are: * strings are no longer atomic, because they may contain other expressions in the form of antiquotes. For strings, the new type NString is introduced and the constructor NStr is added to NExprF * the unused NVar constructor of NExprF is removed * operators are now represented uniformly so that the pretty printer can lookup information about operators (in particular, associativity and precedence) * the NArgs constructor is removed. The first argument of the NAbs constructor now directly represents the lambda arguments. * the select and the hasattr operator are moved into NExpr because they are special (they only accept a selector as second argument, and select also supports 'or') The list of operators is now in Types.hs and Parser.hs re-uses that list to build the parser. This is required because the pretty printer and parser both need access to operator precedences. Parser and evaluator also support dynamic attributes and attributes with dots now. As an example, `let b.a = 3; b.c = { e = {}; }; b.c.e.${"f"} = 4; in b` is parsed and evaluated correctly. As a side effect, NSym values now don't evaluate to themselves anymore, but instead to the value retrieved by looking up the variable in the current environment. Support for evaluating `inherit` bindings was removed because it was broken before (`{ inherit a; }` would evaluate to a set where the attribute `a` had the value `NSym a`, not the value of `a`). The manual Show instances for the AST were replaced by derived ones, because the manual instances often resulted in output were it was difficult to determine the missing parentheses. |
