printAmbiguous()

void nix::printAmbiguous	(	Value &	v,
		const SymbolTable &	symbols,
		std::ostream &	str,
		std::set< const void * > *	seen,
		int	depth )

Print a value in the deprecated format used by nix-instantiate --eval and nix-env (for manifests).

This output can't be changed because it's part of the nix-instantiate API, but it produces ambiguous output; unevaluated thunks and lambdas (and a few other types) are printed as Nix path syntax like <CODE>.
