With the previous commit `propagateDoc` is now always given the correct value
(i.e. it is never set to `true` when there are no `man` and `info` outputs).
Hence, we can simply symlink the original outputs to the wrapper outputs.
Pros:
- simpler, less indirection compared to `propagated-user-env-packages`,
- uses less inodes (1 symlink, which nix then simply automatically resolves
and removes, vs. two directories and a file),
- makes direct references like "export MANPATH=${stdenv.cc.man}/share/man"
simply work.
Cons:
- I'm not aware of any.
This and the previous commit together almost completely revert commits
fde7296a47,
fa41297209, and
c981787db9.
- respect libc’s incdir and libdir
- make non-unix systems single threaded
- set LIMITS_H_TEST to false for avr
- misc updates to support new libc’s
- use multilib with avr
For threads we want to use:
- posix on unix systems
- win32 on windows
- single on everything else
For avr:
- add library directories for avrlibc
- to disable relro and bind
- avr5 should have precedence over avr3 - otherwise gcc uses the wrong one
02c09e0171 (NixOS/nixpkgs#44558) was reverted in
c981787db9 but, as it turns out, it fixed an issue
I didn't know about at the time: the values of `propagateDoc` options were
(and now again are) inconsistent with the underlying things those wrappers wrap
(see NixOS/nixpkgs#46119), which was (and now is) likely to produce more instances
of NixOS/nixpkgs#43547, if not now, then eventually as stdenv changes.
This patch (which is a simplified version of the original reverted patch) is the
simplest solution to this whole thing: it forces wrappers to directly inspect the
outputs of the things they are wrapping instead of making stdenv guess the correct
values.
The hack of using `crossConfig` to enforce stricter handling of
dependencies is replaced with a dedicated `strictDeps` for that purpose.
(Experience has shown that my punning was a terrible idea that made more
difficult and embarrising to teach teach.)
Now that is is clear, a few packages now use `strictDeps`, to fix
various bugs:
- bintools-wrapper and cc-wrapper
... binutils and gcc add it already anyway.
Without this it's easy to get cross-toolchain paths longer than 256
chars and nix-daemon will then fail to commit them to /nix/store on XFS.
Factor a bintools (i.e. binutils / cctools) wrapper out of cc-wrapper. While
only LD is wrapped, the setup hook defines environment variables on behalf of
other utilites.
On non-GNU (gcc) compilers, there is no "/lib/gcc/..."
so when this is eventually expanded this is empty
resulting in an incomplete "-idirafter " that
eats the next argument:
-idirafter -B/nix/store/wamjwwdvkmhbf4f2902nhw8jxxzv0hy3-clang-wrapper-4.0.1/bin/
Certain tools, e.g. compilers, are customarily prefixed with the name of
their target platform so that multiple builds can be used at once
without clobbering each other on the PATH. I was using identifiers named
`prefix` for this purpose, but that conflicts with the standard use of
`prefix` to mean the directory where something is installed. To avoid
conflict and confusion, I renamed those to `targetPrefix`.
If a dynamic linker for target is not found the generated script fails
due to unbound variable error (due to "set -u"). Correct by specifying
default value with dynamicLinker:- and not generating ldflagsBefore if
no linker is found.
This problem was found when cross compiling to mingw32 targets
cc-wrapper may wrap a cc-compiler, but it doesn't need one to build
itself. (c.f. expand-response-params is a separate derivation.) This
helps avoid cycles on the cross stuff, in addition to removing a
useless dependency edge.
I could have been super careful with overrides in the stdenv to avoid
the mass rebuild, but I don't think it's worth it.
1. `crossDrv` is now the default so we don't need to worry about that in
build != host builds.
2. shell is the build time shell, so `wrapCCCross` doesn't need to
worry, as build == host.
3. `shell.shellPath` will always be appended where useful.
4. Complicated `shell == ""` logic served no purpose.
ccPath is only defined below, so this condition would never be true.
Worse, that's not quite true: what if somebody happend to have `/clang`
and no sandboxing. Boy, wouldn't that be annoying to debug!
Having multiple compilers in the build environment would result in an
invalid LD_DYLD_PATH like /usr/lib/dyld/usr/lib/dyld.
Since the path is hardcoded in XNU it can't be anything but
/usr/lib/dyld anyway.
This is an ugly temp hack for cross compilation, but now we have something better on the way.
Bind `infixSalt` as an environment variable as it will be used in it.
