@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)
In reply to @roberthensing:matrix.org
I guess I could open that PR as an alternative if those two functions don't work out?
* Let’s see how upstream reacts. They’ve been ignoring my DEL patch for quite some time now

@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakaria I'm on a machine with 120 cores and i'm surprised how low parallelism meson compile -j 100 is on it 17:50:39
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakaria * I'm on a machine with 120 cores and i'm surprised how low parallelism meson compile -j 100 is on it for compiling Nix 17:50:46

PCH make for a pretty bad fork-join
17:52:38
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Also the linker17:52:56
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakariaAlso, my clangd fails to find the boost header only dependencies? Is there a setting someone can recommend here17:52:57
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakariaI can see they are missing from meson compile as they are not "true" dependencies..17:53:12
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)
In reply to @xokdvium:matrix.org
Also the linker
You should disable b_lto
17:53:23
@philiptaron:matrix.orgPhilip Taron (UTC-8)At $WORK we use clang modules to escape the PCH trap17:53:25
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Honestly PCH is pretty good for us. LTO on the other hand is very slow17:54:04
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakariaI think it's cause NIX_CFLAGS is implicit outside meson?17:54:06

Let’s just wait until 2036 for modules to get supported on all platforms and in meson
17:55:41
@philiptaron:matrix.orgPhilip Taron (UTC-8) Our impl doesn't give two hoots about gcc -- it's clang + C23 all the way ;-) 17:56:20
@philiptaron:matrix.orgPhilip Taron (UTC-8) Modules (the clang impl) works great with C. 17:56:39
@philiptaron:matrix.orgPhilip Taron (UTC-8)Maybe even better than with C++.17:56:50
@philiptaron:matrix.orgPhilip Taron (UTC-8) Actually, definitely better than with C++. 17:57:00
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakaria how do I go from Store to BinaryCacheStore21:55:59
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakariathe config only return ref<Store>21:56:04
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakariadynamic_pointer_cast?21:57:08
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakaria

Sergei Zimmerman (xokdvium): writing a unit test for that issue you sent me is a bit harder because I think it's S3 specific (needs a store that uses query params)

For now I have https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/14266

One option: write a store just for tests that is simiilar to HttpBinaryCacheStore but sends the derivation path as a query parameter to test the encoding?

The S3 stuff is no longer relying on custom logic (since a couple hours ago) tho
23:38:32
@xokdvium:matrix.orgSergei Zimmerman (xokdvium)Did that maybe just fix the issue entirely?23:39:01
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakariait might have ; i included some change to src/libstore/binary-cache-store.cc that I think is "correct" but it doesn't have a unit test.23:39:42
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakaria* it might have23:40:47
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakariaAnyways; i pushed a unit test... took me a while to right. 🫠23:41:05
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakaria* Anyways; i pushed a unit test... took me a while to write. 🫠23:41:09
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakariaWhat was it before? I see S3BinaryCacheStoreConfig now23:46:43
@fzakaria:one.ems.hostfzakaria

can you help me figure out what i'm missing to get it to build... it builds locally but not

nix build .#nix-store-tests

🪵? I can take a look when I get a chance
Anyway it’s way past bed time for me 🛌
