- the default --docdir is typically DATAROOTDIR/doc/pkgName
- I saw no other way than to employ some magic to guess this `pkgName`
- user can override it by setting $shareDocName
The importance of glibc makes it worthwhile to provide debug
symbols. However, this revealed an issue with separateDebugInfo: it
was indiscriminately adding --build-id to all ld invocations, while in
fact it should only do that for final links. Glibc also uses non-final
("relocatable") links, leading to subsequent failure to apply a build
ID ("Cannot create .note.gnu.build-id section, --build-id
ignored"). So now ld-wrapper.sh only passes --build-id for final
links.
In some cases the $sourceRoot is missing. Skip the hook instead
of showing the following cryptic error:
find: cannot search `': No such file or directory
/nix/store/0p1afvl8jcpi6dvsq2n58i90w9c59vz1-set-source-date-epoch-to-latest.sh: line 12: [: : integer expression expected
vcunat removed the warning; the hook will just skip silently in these cases.
Perhaps someone can improve on it some time.
For instance, a binary like libfoo.so will cause a symlink
lib/debug/libfoo.so.debug -> .build-id/<build-ID>.debug to be
created. This is primarily useful for use with eu-addr2line, if you
know the name of a binary and the relative address, but not the build
ID.
- fix in silencing some moveToOutput messages
- allow removing (developer) documentation even without defining outputs
(note: some paths are auto-removed by default, e.g. gtk-doc and man3)
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
Now any developer docs are removed by default, unless "docdev"
is in $outputs or $outputDocdev is defined.
Currently devdoc consists of just man3 and gtk-doc.
'[[ ! -v "$propagatedOutputs" ]]' is incorrect and always evaluates to
true. The correct form using double brackets would be
'[[ ! -v propagatedOutputs ]]', but I strongly dislike '[[ ]]' due to
the totally different quoting rules compared to everything else in bash.
You can now pass
separateDebugInfo = true;
to mkDerivation. This causes debug info to be separated from ELF
binaries and stored in the "debug" output. The advantage is that it
enables installing lean binaries, while still having the ability to
make sense of core dumps, etc.
Fixes#9044, close#9667. Thanks to @taku0 for suggesting this solution.
Now we have no modes starting with `/` or `+`.
Rewrite the `-perm` parameters of find:
- completely safe: rewrite `/0100` and `+100` to `-0100`,
- slightly semantics-changing: rewrite `+111` to `-0100`.
I cross-verified the `find` manual pages for Linux, Darwin, FreeBSD.
By default `makeWrapper` will not set argv[0] (this is a reversion to
the old default behavior). Based on the breakage we have seen from
changing the default, this is what most people want. The `wrapProgram`
function will send `--argv0 '"$0"'` to `makeWrapper`, i.e. it will
continue to pass-through the argv[0] that the wrapper is called with.
