The referenced PR ("sigtool: 0.1.2 → 0.1.3") has now been merged, so
I'm dropping the patch as instructed.
The effect of `.out // { outputSpecified = false; }` in these cases
is to select the default output explicitly, but then make the
selection implicit until `overrideAttrs` is called. Previously
`overrideAttrs` would not preserve output selection, masking the
apparently unnecessary behavior of this workaround.
For `libllvm-polly`, this logic does not apply, as it does not
select the default output.
The `outputSpecified` workaround was introduced in
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/122554
and was perhaps rushed because of a release deadline, and expected
delays from mass rebuilds.
The change in `overrideAttrs` behavior was added in
5b2f597b11 / https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/211685
and the problem was discovered in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/218537,
which may contain further information.
Port of 44165d3657 ("llvmPackages_{14, git}.clang: add nostdlibinc flag")
to Clang 15. It was originally thought this wasn't needed[1], but it is,
to fix expressions like the following:
with import ./. {};
llvmPackages_15.libcxxStdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "libcxx-stdenv-c++-test";
dontUnpack = true;
input = ''
#include <cstdlib>
int main() {
std::abort();
return 0;
}
'';
passAsFile = [ "input" ];
installPhase = ''
$CXX -c -o $out -x c++ $inputPath
'';
}

This reverts commit 386aba3115.
As I understand it from reading
<https://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#copyright-license-and-patents>,
the structure of LLVM licensing is as follows:
- They're in the process of relicensing to Apache-2.0 WITH LLVM-exception,
but they haven't got permission to relicense all the code yet.
This means that some of the code can be used under the new license,
but not all of it, and it's difficult to know which is which. This
license is therefore probably not useful yet, until the relicensing
effort is commit.
- While the relicensing effort is ongoing, code being contributed to
LLVM has to have permission to be used under the old and new
licensing schemes. Since the new licensing scheme can't be used
for all code yet, it only makes sense to use LLVM's code under the
old licensing scheme at the moment.
- The old licensing scheme is that code for the LLVM components we
care about is all available under the NCSA license, and some
components are optionally available under a different license,
usually the MIT license, instead.
So I think we should go back to just listing NCSA, or NCSA/MIT, and
forget about the new license until it actually becomes useful,
i.e. LLVM's relicensing effort is complete.
LLVM-exception only makes sense when used with the Apache 2.0 license,
so let's combine them, so it's not possible to forget one of them like
happened with llvm_15.
with structuredAttrs lists will be bash arrays which cannot be exported
which will be a issue with some patches and some wrappers like cc-wrapper
this makes it clearer that NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE must be a string as lists
in env cause a eval failure
I got the plugin API support at least once incorrect. Instead of
copying the deifnition let's consolidate it within binutils itself.
While at it forward-ported changes to llvm_{13,14,15}.
The change is a no-op from rebuild perspective.
this is in preparation for the next commit which exposes the release
information and monorepo source as overridable args (which makes it
easier for users to use their own LLVM in nixpkgs)
this commit only adds a check in the `llvm` package's postConfigure that
makes sure the LLVM source provided matches the version we were given;
the actual machinery (functionally just a cosmetic change; causes no
rebuilds) is in the next commit
The two scenarios described within where splicing doesn't handle
selecting the right package for us are observable in the following
(nix repl session):
```
> np = import <nixpkgs> { system = "x86_64-linux"; crossSystem = { config = "aarch64-linux"; }; }
> np.__splicedPackages.hello ? __spliced
true
> np.__splicedPackages.python3Packages.psutil ? __spliced
true
> np.__splicedPackages.python3.pkgs.psutil ? __spliced
false
> (np.__splicedPackages.python3.withPackages (ps: with ps; [psutil])) ? __spliced
false
```
See: #211340
Details within but ultimately there isn't a satisfying resolution for
any of the three test failures we were seeing and all three deserve
further exploration.
For the `sw_vers` macOS version issue in particular, it's possible to
observe the nixpkgs provided `CoreFoundation` vs system `CoreFoundation`
for `x86_64` and `aarch64` like so (on a host running macOS `13.0.1`):
```console
$ nix-shell -p darwin.DarwinTools --system aarch64-darwin --command "sw_vers"
ProductName: macOS
ProductVersion: 13.0.1
BuildVersion: 22A400
$ nix-shell -p darwin.DarwinTools --system x86_64-darwin --command "sw_vers"
ProductName: Mac OS X
ProductVersion: 10.16
BuildVersion: 22A400
```
Where `/System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist` has:
```console
$ cat /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist | grep ProductVersion
-A 1
<key>ProductVersion</key>
<string>13.0.1</string>
```
Further:
```console
$ nix-shell -p darwin.DarwinTools --system aarch64-darwin --command 'otool -L $(which sw_vers)'
/nix/store/nb2q33ak2zif49ndcpc6m823z0vhmy8y-DarwinTools-1/bin/sw_vers:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation (compatibility version 150.0.0, current version 1770.255.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1292.60.1)
$ nix-shell -p darwin.DarwinTools --system x86_64-darwin --command 'otool -L $(which sw_vers)'
/nix/store/88v4kjvgwl71byfpvd0baviiq7l5appc-DarwinTools-1/bin/sw_vers:
@rpath/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation (compatibility version 150.0.0, current version 1454.90.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1238.60.2)
```
For the `x86_64` `sw_vers` binary we can see rpath:
```console
$ nix-shell -p darwin.DarwinTools --system x86_64-darwin --command 'otool -l $(which sw_vers)' | grep LC_RPATH -A 2 -B 1
Load command 13
cmd LC_RPATH
cmdsize 120
path /nix/store/zvr4wypbgskhhw9cawfn7mmxfa75nh8f-swift-corefoundation-unstable-2018-09-14/Library/Frameworks (offset 12)
```
And we can confirm that the nixpkgs provided `CoreFoundation` is what
ultimately gets loaded:
```console
$ nix-shell -p darwin.DarwinTools --system x86_64-darwin --command 'DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES=1 sw_vers'
dyld[16215]: <no uuid> /nix/store/88v4kjvgwl71byfpvd0baviiq7l5appc-DarwinTools-1/bin/sw_vers
dyld[16215]: <no uuid> /nix/store/zvr4wypbgskhhw9cawfn7mmxfa75nh8f-swift-corefoundation-unstable-2018-09-14/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation
dyld[16215]: <no uuid> /nix/store/xd2a4xh8kdwq0j67hzgw720npdw5hzkk-ICU-66108/lib/libicucore.A.dylib
<snipped>
```
```bash
nix-diff \
$(nix path-info nixpkgs#legacyPackages.aarch64-darwin.darwin.DarwinTools --derivation) \
$(nix path-info nixpkgs#legacyPackages.x86_64-darwin.darwin.DarwinTools --derivation)
```
doesn't show any _obvious_ discrepancies
there are a few parts to this:
- adding darwin specific check deps
- working around referencing LLVM dylibs during the checkPhase in a
way that supports darwin
+ previously we just set `$LD_LIBRARY_PATH` and/or made some
strategic symlinks
+ now we have LLVM's `lit` config set the appropriate env vars as
needed (as is done for other LLVM subprojects)
+ in retrospect switching to `installCheckPhase` might have been the
better move..
- patching `lit` to deal with `$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH` being purged for
new "protected" processes
more details within.
as detailed within, adding `asm/ptrace.h` leads to `asm/ptrace-abi.h`
being included which defines preprocessor symbols that clash with
identifiers used in the LLVM headers (`FS` and `CS` only defined on
i686)
