 Tristan Ross | Well, once we have the LLVM bootstrap tools then that will be possible in your systems | 03:55:28 |
 emily | which thing? | 03:56:25 |
| Tristan Ross | Once 365057 is merged, what's everyone's thoughts on not allowing checking stdenv.cc.is*? I've noticed it can cause infinite recursion errors in certain levels and moving to stdenv.*Platform.cc can provide the same information. It also likely will make it easier to break off CC being included in the stdenv and going to build systems providing the CC. | 04:32:26 |
| emily | what kind of infinite recursion? | 04:38:30 |
| Tristan Ross | … in the right operand of the AND (&&) operator

| Tristan Ross | Something kinda like this | 04:41:03 |
| Tristan Ross | Just trying to read stdenv.cc.is* is able to cause infinite recursion in certain cases | 04:41:22 |
| Tristan Ross | It seems when the stdenv shifts to the dependencies of a derivation that's needed for the stdenv, the stdenv being used for those dependencies is borked in some way which is able to cause infinite recursion. | 04:46:00 |
| Tristan Ross | How can I have a setup hook add a step to the fixup phase? | 05:26:11 |
| Tristan Ross | I want a function to execute that does stuff during the fixup phase | 05:26:27 |
| Tristan Ross | But I don't want to override the fixup phase | 05:26:35 |
| Tristan Ross | Oh, preFixupPhases | 05:27:45 |

 Philip Taron (UTC-8) | Hmm. nix-build -A tests.stdenv.outputs-no-out is broken on master. | 14:22:26 |

| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | * Hmm. nix-build -A tests.stdenv.outputs-no-out is broken on master for me. | 14:22:52 |
 FliegendeWurst | most likely not the real error? https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/214822 | 15:48:00 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | Fixed quite a while ago, so unless it regressed... | 15:48:29 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | (There's also no error otherwise.) | 15:48:38 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | I'm bisecting. | 15:48:47 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | It works on 24.11, so it's not too bad a bisect. | 15:49:32 |
| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | Found it: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/357053#issuecomment-2605142607 | 16:06:42 |

@rosscomputerguy:matrix.org: I left some questions/comments re: Darwin on your toolchains PR. Thank you. I'm hoping we can get this merged soon. It'll be great once this PR is fully working. | 16:51:08 |
| Tristan Ross | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/375435 this is going to be cool too | 16:51:45 |
| Tristan Ross | I just need to figure out why the hook isn't executing. | 16:52:01 |
| Tristan Ross | I was using the makeSetupHook but switched to the setupHook/setupHooks attribute and that causes it to not apply anymore. | 16:52:44 |
| emily | lmk when the PR is ready for another review | 16:53:03 |
| Tristan Ross | But GNU hello does work with bolt if you compiled it with LLVM | 16:53:21 |
