|
|
Restrict a derivation to a predictable set of attribute names, so
|
|
that the returned attrset is not strict in the actual derivation,
|
|
saving a lot of computation when the derivation is non-trivial.
|
|
|
|
This is useful in situations where a derivation might only be used for its
|
|
passthru attributes, improving evaluation performance.
|
|
|
|
The returned attribute set is lazy in `derivation`. Specifically, this
|
|
means that the derivation will not be evaluated in at least the
|
|
situations below.
|
|
|
|
For illustration and/or testing, we define derivation such that its
|
|
evaluation is very noticeable.
|
|
|
|
let derivation = throw "This won't be evaluated.";
|
|
|
|
In the following expressions, `derivation` will _not_ be evaluated:
|
|
|
|
(lazyDerivation { inherit derivation; }).type
|
|
|
|
attrNames (lazyDerivation { inherit derivation; })
|
|
|
|
(lazyDerivation { inherit derivation; } // { foo = true; }).foo
|
|
|
|
(lazyDerivation { inherit derivation; meta.foo = true; }).meta
|
|
|
|
In these expressions, `derivation` _will_ be evaluated:
|
|
|
|
"${lazyDerivation { inherit derivation }}"
|
|
|
|
(lazyDerivation { inherit derivation }).outPath
|
|
|
|
(lazyDerivation { inherit derivation }).meta
|
|
|
|
And the following expressions are not valid, because the refer to
|
|
implementation details and/or attributes that may not be present on
|
|
some derivations:
|
|
|
|
(lazyDerivation { inherit derivation }).buildInputs
|
|
|
|
(lazyDerivation { inherit derivation }).passthru
|
|
|
|
(lazyDerivation { inherit derivation }).pythonPath

Because `mkDerivation` sets `__ignoreNulls = true`, a derivation

attribute set to `null` will not impact the derivation output hash.

Thus, this function passes through its `value` argument if the `cond`
|

is `true`, but returns `null` if not.
