 ghpzin | I do not think so, but it was pretty hard to get any info out of that thing. | 18:47:40 |
 emily | where does bindgenHook do that propagation? | 18:48:09 |
| emily | bindgenHook = makeSetupHook {
name = "rust-bindgen-hook";
substitutions = {
libclang = (lib.getLib clang.cc);
inherit clang;
};
} ./rust-bindgen-hook.sh;

| emily | that's because bindgen uses libclang, right…? | 18:48:49 |
| emily | so it needs to know how to compile C code with Clang flags | 18:49:10 |
 Lun | include_next and wrappers adding hundreds of weirdly ordered isystem include dirs, name a better duo | 18:49:28 |
 dramforever | looks like it's sending $NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE into bindgen wrapper | 18:49:48 |
| ghpzin | clang has all gcc/glibc things in /nix-support/cc-cflags and /nix-support/libcxx-cxxflags, probably because it itself is build with gcc | 18:50:17 |
| emily | but… that's correct right? | 18:50:36 |
| emily | those are the flags you'd use if you were compiling with clang | 18:50:37 |
| emily | if you mean libgcc, that's correct | 18:50:47 |
| emily | or well | 18:50:51 |
| emily | depending… | 18:50:54 |
| emily | but I mean if clang has the wrong flags for compiling with Clang in it then Clang would be broken | 18:51:12 |
| ghpzin | But do you expect to bindgen to always use those things by default ? | 18:51:17 |
| emily | like it should mirror the flags you'd get with llvmPackages.stdenv… | 18:51:20 |
| ghpzin | But do you expect for bindgen to always use those things by default ? | 18:51:31 |
| emily | yes. what bindgen does is use libclang to read C code and generate Rust bindings based on that | 18:51:35 |
| emily | bindgen is, essentially, Clang | 18:51:43 |
| emily | we have the hook so that it can find glibc, the dependencies of the derivation, etc. | 18:51:52 |
| Lun | duplicating something that would be correct alone is enough to mess up include_next iirc? | 18:52:13 |
| emily | we use the flags from @clang@ because it is a kind of Clang, so it needs the Clang logic from cc-wrapper rather than the GCC logic | 18:52:14 |
| emily | for atomics though I'm not quite sure, because I think that might be a libgcc vs. compiler-rt distinction 🥴 | 18:52:40 |
 Alyssa Ross | Why does mesa even have bindgenHook | 18:53:11 |
| Alyssa Ross | surely it doesn't use the bindgen crate, being a meson project | 18:53:19 |
| Alyssa Ross | yep, doesn't look like it… | 18:53:47 |
| emily | as in it's just using the bindgen CLI? | 18:54:12 |
| emily | and our hook breaks the CLI? | 18:54:16 |
