/* `overrideDerivation drv f' takes a derivation (i.e., the result
of a call to the builtin function `derivation') and returns a new
derivation in which the attributes of the original are overridden
according to the function `f'. The function `f' is called with
the original derivation attributes.
`overrideDerivation' allows certain "ad-hoc" customisation
scenarios (e.g. in ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix). For instance,
if you want to "patch" the derivation returned by a package
function in Nixpkgs to build another version than what the
function itself provides, you can do something like this:
mySed = overrideDerivation pkgs.gnused (oldAttrs: {
name = "sed-4.2.2-pre";
src = fetchurl {
url = ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/sed/sed-4.2.2-pre.tar.bz2;
sha256 = "11nq06d131y4wmf3drm0yk502d2xc6n5qy82cg88rb9nqd2lj41k";
};
patches = [];
});
For another application, see build-support/vm, where this
function is used to build arbitrary derivations inside a QEMU
virtual machine.

/* `makeOverridable` takes a function from attribute set to
attribute set and injects 4 attributes which can be used to
override arguments and return values of the function.
1. `override` allows you to change what arguments were passed to
the function and acquire the new result.
nix-repl> x = {a, b}: { result = a + b; }
nix-repl> y = lib.makeOverridable x { a = 1; b = 2; }
nix-repl> y
{ override = «lambda»; overrideDerivation = «lambda»; result = 3; }
nix-repl> y.override { a = 10; }
{ override = «lambda»; overrideDerivation = «lambda»; result = 12; }
2. `extend` changes the results of the function, giving you a
view of the original result and a view of the eventual final
result. It is meant to do the same thing as
`makeExtensible`. That is, it lets you add to or change the
return value, such that previous extensions are consistent with
the final view, rather than being based on outdated
values. "Outdated" values come from the `super` argument, which
must be used when you are attempting to modify and old value. And
the final values come from the `self` argument, which recursively
refers to what all extensions combined return.
nix-repl> obj = makeOverridable (args: { }) { }
nix-repl> obj = obj.extend (self: super: { foo = "foo"; })
nix-repl> obj.foo
"foo"
nix-repl> obj = obj.extend (self: super: { foo = super.foo + " + "; bar = "bar"; foobar = self.foo + self.bar; })
nix-repl> obj
{ bar = "bar"; foo = "foo + "; foobar = "foo + bar"; ... } # Excess omitted
3. `overrideDerivation`: Please refer to "Nixpkgs Contributors
Guide" section "<pkg>.overrideDerivation" to learn about
`overrideDerivation` and caveats related to its use.
4. `overridePackage` is by far the most powerful of the four, as
it exposes a deeper structure. It provides `self` and `super`
views of both the arguments and return value of the function,
allowing you to change both in one override; you can even have
overrides for one based on overrides for the other. The type of
`self`, `super`, and the return value are all:
`{ args :: argumentsToF, val :: returnValueOfF }`
nix-repl> obj = makeOverridable ({a, b}: {inherit a b;}) {a = 1; b = 3;}
nix-repl> obj = obj.overridePackage (self: super: { args = super.args // {b = self.val.a;}; })
nix-repl> obj.b
1
nix-repl> obj = obj.overridePackage (self: super: { val = super.val // {a = self.args.a + 10;}; })
nix-repl> obj.b
