- merge libcxxabi into libcxx for LLVM 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and git.
- remove the link time workaround `-lc++ -lc++abi` from 58 packages as it is no longer required.
- fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/166205
- provides alternative fixes for. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/269548https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/9640
- pkgsCross.x86_64-freebsd builds work again
This change can be represented in 3 stages
1. merge libcxxabi into libcxx -- files: pkgs/development/compilers/llvm/[12, git]/{libcxx, libcxxabi}
2. update stdenv to account for merge -- files: stdenv.{adapters, cc.wrapper, darwin}
3. remove all references to libcxxabi outside of llvm (about 58 packages modified)
### merging libcxxabi into libcxx
- take the union of the libcxxabi and libcxx cmake flags
- eliminate the libcxx-headers-only package - it was only needed to break libcxx <-> libcxxabi circular dependency
- libcxx.cxxabi is removed. external cxxabi (freebsd) will symlink headers / libs into libcxx.
- darwin will re-export the libcxxabi symbols into libcxx so linking `-lc++` is sufficient.
- linux/freebsd `libc++.so` is a linker script `LINK(libc++.so.1, -lc++abi)` making `-lc++` sufficient.
- libcxx/default.nix [12, 17] are identical except for patches and `LIBCXX_ADDITIONAL_LIBRARIES` (only used in 16+)
- git/libcxx/defaul.nix does not link with -nostdlib when useLLVM is true so flag is removed. this is not much different than before as libcxxabi used -nostdlib where libcxx did not, so libc was linked in anyway.
### stdenv changes
- darwin bootstrap, remove references to libcxxabi and cxxabi
- cc-wrapper: remove c++ link workaround when libcxx.cxxabi doesn't exist (still exists for LLVM pre 12)
- adapter: update overrideLibcxx to account for a pkgs.stdenv that only has libcxx
### 58 package updates
- remove `NIX_LDFLAGS = "-l${stdenv.cc.libcxx.cxxabi.libName}` as no longer needed
- swift, nodejs_v8 remove libcxxabi references in the clang override

checkInputs used to be added to nativeBuildInputs. Now we have
nativeCheckInputs to do that instead. Doing this treewide change allows
to keep hashes identical to before the introduction of
nativeCheckInputs.
This has several advantages:
1. It takes up less space on disk in-between builds in the nix store.
2. It uses less space in the binary cache for vendor derivation packages.
3. It uses less network traffic downloading from the binary cache.
4. It plays nicely with hashed mirrors like tarballs.nixos.org, which only
substitute --flat hashes on single files (not recursive directory hashes).
5. It's consistent with how simple `fetchurl` src derivations work.
6. It provides a stronger abstraction between input src-package and output
package, e.g., it's harder to accidentally depend on the src derivation at
runtime by referencing something like `${src}/etc/index.html`. Likewise, in
the store it's harder to get confused with something that is just there as a
build-time dependency vs. a runtime dependency, since the build-time
src dependencies are tarred up.
Disadvantages are:
1. It takes slightly longer to untar at the start of a build.
As currently implemented, this attaches the compacted vendor.tar.gz feature as a
rider on `verifyCargoDeps`, since both of them are relatively newly implemented
behavior that change the `cargoSha256`.
If this PR is accepted, I will push forward the remaining rust packages with a
series of treewide PRs to update the `cargoSha256`s.
A recent upgrade of cargo-vendor changed its output slightly, which
broke all cargoSha256 hashes in nixpkgs.
See https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/60668 for more information.
Since then, a few hashes have been fixed in master by hand, but there
were a lot still to do, so I did all of the ones left over with some
scripts I wrote.
The one hash I wasn’t able to update was habitat's, because it’s
currently broken and the build doesn’t get far enough to produce a
hash anyway.
