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.
Per @Ericson2314's suggestion [1], make it more clear that the active
hardenings are decided via whitelist; the blacklist is merely for the
debug messages.

Before the code would fail silently for zero values and with some output for
empties. We now currently handle both via defaulting value to zero and making
`let` return success error code when there's no syntax error.
- All deps go on the PATH
- CC and Bintools wrappers with their host != depender's host still get their
setup hooks run.
- Environment hooks get applied to all packages
This isn't so elegent, but eases the transition on a very significant
PR.
We now have the information to properly determine the role the
cc-wrapper dependency has, by taking advantage of `offset`. No longer
use the soon-to-be-deprecated crossConfig environment variable, the
temp hack used before this change.
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
This requires some small changes in the stdenv, then working around the
weird choice LLVM made to hardcode @rpath in its install name, and then
lets us remove a ton of annoying workaround hacks in many of our Go
packages. With any luck this will mean less hackery going forward.
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.
This reverts commit 0a944b345e, reversing
changes made to 61733ed6cc.
I dislike these massive stdenv changes with unclear motivation,
especially when they involve gratuitous mass renames like NIX_CC ->
NIX_BINUTILS. The previous such rename (NIX_GCC -> NIX_CC) caused
months of pain, so let's not do that again.
This becomes necessary if more wrappers besides cc-wrapper start
supporting hardening flags. Also good to make the warning into an
error.
Also ensure interface is being used right: Not as a string, not just in
bash.
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 fixes a bug introduced in #27831: `for path in "$dir"/lib*.so` assumed that
all libs match `lib*.so`, but 07674788d6 started
adding libs that match `*.so` and `*.so.*`.
Now is an opportune time to do this, as the infixSalt conversion in
`add-flags.sh` ensures that all the relevant `NIX_*` vars will be
defined even if empty.
This is basically a sed job, in preparation of the next commit. The
rules are more or less:
- s"NIX_(.._WRAPPER_)?([a-zA-Z0-9@]*)"NIX_\1@infixSalt@_\2"g
- except for non-cc-wrapper-specific vars like `NIX_DEBUG`
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.
