The repeated value detection logic exists so that the occurrence of large common substructures does not fill up the screen or the computer's memory. However, empty attribute sets and derivations (when their detection is enabled) are always cheap to print, and in practice I have observed them to make up a significant majority of the cases where I was annoyed by the repeated value detection kicking in. Furthermore, `nix-instantiate --eval` already disables this logic for empty attribute sets, and empty lists are already exempted everywhere. For these reasons, always print empty attribute sets and derivations as what they are. Change-Id: I5dac8e7739f9d726b76fd0521ec46f38af94463f |
