That's very much consistent with the spirit of nix-shell --pure
BTW, nix 1.x shells will be always treated as pure;
in that version detection isn't possible.

Some SSL libs don't react to $SSL_CERT_FILE.
That actually makes sense to me, as we add this behavior
as nixpkgs-specific, so it seems "safer" to use $NIX_*.
We want initialPath to have lowest precedence.
In addition, unset _PATH and _HOST_PATH as they shouldn’t be needed
after final PATH and HOST_PATH are set.
Adds pkgsCross.wasm32 and pkgsCross.wasm64. Use it to build Nixpkgs
with a WebAssembly toolchain.
stdenv/cross: use static overlay on isWasm
isWasm doesn’t make sense dynamically linked.
This puts patches in all derivations even if it unspecified by the
derivation. By default it will be an empty list. This simplifies
overrides, as we can now assume that patches is a valid name so that
this works:
self: super: {
mypkg = super.pkg.overrideAttrs (o: {
patches = o.patches ++ [ ./my-very-own.patch ];
});
}
That is, you don’t need to provide a default "or []", make-derivation
provides one for you.
Unfortunately, this is a mass rebuild.
this adds libc++ to the LLVM cross, giving us access to the full
Nixpkgs set. This requires 4 stages of wrapped compilers:
- Clang with no libraries
- Clang with just compiler-rt
- Clang with Libc, and compiler-rt
- Clang with Libc++, Libc, and compiler-rt
New android ndk (18) now uses clang. We were going through the wrapper
that are provided. This lead to surprising errors when building.
Ideally we could use the llvm linker as well, but this leads to errors
as many packages don’t support the llvm linker.
This is needed to avoid confusing and repeated boilerplate for
`fooForTarget`. The vast majority of use-cases can still use
`buildPackages or `targetPackages`, which are now defined in terms of
these.
