||
Functions and `builtins` are printed with more detail in `nix repl`, `nix | ||
eval`, `builtins.trace`, and most other places values are printed. | ||
|
||
Before: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
$ nix repl nixpkgs | ||
nix-repl> builtins.map | ||
«primop» | ||
nix-repl> builtins.map lib.id | ||
«primop-app» | ||
nix-repl> builtins.trace lib.id "my-value" | ||
trace: <LAMBDA> | ||
"my-value" | ||
$ nix eval --file functions.nix | ||
{ id = <LAMBDA>; primop = <PRIMOP>; primop-app = <PRIMOP-APP>; } | ||
``` | ||
|
||
After: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
$ nix repl nixpkgs | ||
nix-repl> builtins.map | ||
«primop map» | ||
nix-repl> builtins.map lib.id | ||
«partially applied primop map» | ||
nix-repl> builtins.trace lib.id "my-value" | ||
trace: «lambda id @ /nix/store/8rrzq23h2zq7sv5l2vhw44kls5w0f654-source/lib/trivial.nix:26:5» | ||
"my-value" | ||
$ nix eval --file functions.nix | ||
{ id = «lambda id @ /Users/wiggles/nix/functions.nix:2:8»; primop = «primop map»; primop-app = «partially applied primop map»; } | ||
``` | ||
|
||
This was actually released in Nix 2.20, but wasn't added to the release notes | ||
so we're announcing it here. The historical release notes have been updated as well. | ||
