Pass positions when evaluating
This includes position information in more places, making debugging easier. Before: ``` $ nix-instantiate --show-trace --eval tests/functional/lang/eval-fail-using-set-as-attr-name.nix error: … while evaluating an attribute name at «none»:0: (source not available) error: value is a set while a string was expected ``` After: ``` error: … while evaluating an attribute name at /pwd/lang/eval-fail-using-set-as-attr-name.nix:5:10: 4| in 5| attr.${key} | ^ 6| error: value is a set while a string was expected ```

synopsis: Source locations are printed more consistently in errors

description: {

Source location information is now included in error messages more
|
||||
consistently. Given this code:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
let
|
||||
attr = {foo = "bar";};
|
||||
key = {};
|
||||
in
|
||||
attr.${key}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Previously, Nix would show this unhelpful message when attempting to evaluate
|
||||
it:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
error:
|
||||
… while evaluating an attribute name
|
||||
|
||||
at «none»:0: (source not available)
|
||||
|
||||
error: value is a set while a string was expected
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now, the error message displays where the problematic value was found:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
error:
|
||||
… while evaluating an attribute name
|
||||
|
||||
at bad.nix:4:11:
|
||||
|
||||
3| key = {};
|
||||
4| in attr.${key}
|
||||
| ^
|
||||
5|
|
||||
|
||||
error: value is a set while a string was expected
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
}
