One significant use case is adding `passthru.tests` to setup-hooks,
and help increase test coverage for mission-critical setup-hooks.
As `meta`, `passthru` doesn't go into the build script directly.
However, passing an empty set to `passthru` breaks nixpkgs-review
and OfBorg tests, so pass it only when specified.
Before the change separate-debug-info.sh did the stripping itself.
This scheme has a few problems:
1. Stripping happens only on ELF files. *.a and *.o files are skipped.
Derivations have to do it manually. Usually incorrectly
as they don't run $RANLIB (true for `glibc` and `musl`).
2. Stripping happens on all paths. Ideally only `stripDebugList` paths
should be considered.
3. Host strip is called on Target files.
This change offloads stripping logic to strip hook. This strips more
files for `glibc` and `musl`. Now we can remove most $STRIP calls
from individual derivations.

The initial intent was to strip .a and .o files, not .a.o files.
While at it expanded stripping for $lib output as well.
Without the change `libgcc.a` was not stripped and `.debug*` sections
made into final binaries. It's not a problem on it's own, but it's an
unintended side-effect. Noticed on `crystal_1_0` test failure where
`crystal` was not able to handle `dwarf-5`.
While at it allowed absolute file names to be passed to stripDebugList
and friends.
'strip' does not normally preserve archive index in .a files.
This usually causes linking failures against static libs like:
$ nix build --no-link -f. pkgsCross.mingw32.re2c
> ...-i686-w64-mingw32-binutils-2.38/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-ld:
/nix/store/...-i686-w64-mingw32-stage-final-gcc-13.0.0-lib/i686-w64-mingw32/lib/libstdc++.dll.a:
error adding symbols: archive has no index; run ranlib to add one
We restore the index by running ranlib explicitly.
This change mimics existing strip{All,Debug}List variables to
allow special stripping directories just for Target.
The primary use case in mind is gcc where package has to install
both host and target ELFs. They have to be stripped by their own
strip tools accordingly.

Since 1ac53985 "*-wrapper; Switch from `infixSalt` to `suffixSalt`"
(2020) 'TARGET_' prefix (and infix) is no more. '_FOR_TARGET' suffix
is the only used suffix for target-specific tools and flags.
Use that in stip instead of always-empty variable.
A function to generate pkg-config files for Nix packages that need to create them ad hoc,
like blas and lapack.
Inspiration taken from `makeDesktopItem`.
By default, Cargo will only enable line tables. -g enables full debug
info. The RUSTFLAGS environment variable is examined by Cargo,
similar to how the NIX_*FLAGS* variables are examined by our compiler
wrappers.
A small shell script that can be used to extract a binary wrapper's
makeCWrapper call from its embedded docstring, without depending on
makeBinaryWrapper.
This commit fixes precise dependency ignorance by converting the
environment variable `autoPatchelfIgnoreMissingDeps` into a bash array
`ignoreMissingDepsArray`, passing `"${ignoreMissingDepsArray[@]}"`
instead of `"${autoPatchelfIgnoreMissingDeps[@]}"` to the python
script.
The original implementation does not work when
`autoPatchelfIgnoreMissingDeps` contains multiple dependency names.
Because it mistakenly passes `"${autoPatchelfIgnoreMissingDeps[@]}"`
to the python script. According to the Nix manual
(https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/expressions/derivations.html),
lists of strings are concatenated into whitespace-separated strings,
then passed to the builder as environment variables. So, if
`autoPatchelfIgnoreMissingDeps = [ "dep1" "dep2" "dep3" ]`,
`"${autoPatchelfIgnoreMissingDeps[@]}"` will be expanded to a single
argument `"dep1 dep2 dep3"`, which is not the intended behavior,
because the python script takes the long argument as a dependency
name.
With this commit, `"${ignoreMissingDepsArray[@]}"` will be expanded to
three arguments `"dep1" "dep2" "dep3"` arguments as expected, fixing
the issue.
Desktop files are only useful when accompanied by the binaries they
specify. So it makes more sense to put them next to the binaries rather
than `$out` which only usually contains the binaries.
Similar to the implementation of the `%f` and `%u` field codes. In this
case the amount of arguments passed poses no problem but the position
could, at least in theory.
This finishes the implementation of all the non-deprecated field codes.
As a part of that, repetitions of field codes are left alone. Originally
all field codes were removed. Now we replace only the first occurence.
This is correct for at least `%f`, `%u`, `%F` and `%U` because at most
one of them is permitted.
Shortcomings:
1. We replace `%[cfFikuU]` patterns one at a time. This means if the
right field code appears as part of the rest of the `Exec` field or
in a field code that was substituted earlier.
2. If any field code is repeated, only the first occurence is
substituted.
`%f` and `%u` are used to signal the program only accepts a single file
or URI argument. I do not believe there's a way to signal this
information to macOS but it is possible the program really won't work if
multiple files are passed and it's possible the relative position of
`%i`, `%c` or `%k` matters. So we replace `%f` or `%u` with `$1`. That
way we only pass one file in the (possibly significant) position of the
field code.
`ls -1 "$iconsdir/"*` listed the source directory for me when the glob
had no matches. Switching to `-A` circumvents this problem and has the
added advantage that it cannot run into argument list length limits.
Checked the desktop entry spec, there's other field codes than `%[fFuU]`
and those can in fact occur more than once, hence dropping '$' and
adding `/g`.
The "Exec" key in desktop items sometimes has one of the `%f`, `%F`,
`%u` and `%U` suffixes, which specify whether the command takes a file,
multiple files or a generalized URL or URLs. Darwin application bundles
do no understand this syntax so we do the next best thing, which is
simply dropping it.
