mapAttrs, map and genList call Nix functions provided by the caller and
store the result of applying them in a Nix data structure that does not
force all of its contents when forced itself. This means that when such
a builtin application is forced, the Nix function calls performed by the
builtin should not be forced: They may be forced later, but it is also
possible that they will never be forced, e.g. in
builtins.length (builtins.map (builtins.add 2) [ 1 2 3 ])
it is not necessary to compute a single application of builtins.add.
Since request_call_with immediately performs the function call
requested, Tvix would compute function applications unnecessarily before
this change. Because this was not followed by a request_force, the
impact of this was relatively low in Nix code (most functions return a
new thunk after being applied), but it was enough to cause a lot of
bogus builtins.trace applications when evaluating anything from
`lib.modules`. The newly added test includes many cases where Tvix
previously incorrectly applied a builtin, breaking a working expression.
To fix this we add a new helper to construct a Thunk performing a
function application at runtime from a function and argument given as
`Value`s. This mimics the compiler's compile_apply(), but does itself
not require a compiler, since the necessary Lambda can be constructed
independently.
I also looked into other builtins that call a Nix function to verify
that they don't exhibit such a problem:
- Many builtins immediately use the resulting value in a way that makes
it necessary to compute all the function calls they do as soon as
the outer builtin application is forced:
* all
* any
* filter
* groupBy
* partition
- concatMap needs to (shallowly) force the returned list for
concatenation.
- foldl' is strict in the application of `op` (I added a comment that
makes this explicit).
- genericClosure needs to (shallowly) force the resulting list and some
keys of the attribute sets inside.
Resolves b/272.

depot
This repository is the monorepo for the community around The Virus Lounge, containing our personal tools and infrastructure. Everything in here is built using Nix.
A large portion of the software here is very self-referential, meaning that it exists to sustain the operation of the repository. This is the case because we partially see this as an experiment in tooling for monorepos.
Highlights
Services
-
Source code is available primarily through Sourcegraph on cs.tvl.fyi, where it is searchable and even semantically indexed. A lower-tech view of the repository is also available via cgit-pink on code.tvl.fyi.
The repository can be cloned using
gitfromhttps://cl.tvl.fyi/depot. -
All code in the depot, with the exception of code that is checked in to individual
//usersfolders, needs to be reviewed. We use Gerrit on cl.tvl.fyi for this. -
Issues are tracked via our own issue tracker on b.tvl.fyi. Its source code lives at
//web/panettone/. -
Smaller todo-list entries which do not warrant a separate issue are listed at todo.tvl.fyi.
-
We use Buildkite for CI. Recent builds are listed on tvl.fyi/builds and pipelines are configured dynamically via
//ops/pipelines. -
A search service that makes TVL services available via textual shortcuts is available: atward
All services that we host are deployed on NixOS machines that we manage. Their
configuration is tracked in //ops/{modules,machines}.
