 6pak | just run patchcil before naot | 00:09:58 |
| 6pak | with a msbuild target | 00:10:03 |
| 6pak | the issue is how you pass in what libraries you want from nix | 00:10:15 |
 GGG | it'd be quite a bit of work though, I wouldn't put it in as a requirement for the MVP | 00:10:29 |
| GGG | maybe a 1.1 release or something | 00:10:38 |
| 6pak | no work would be needed in patchcil itself | 00:10:57 |
| 6pak | it doesn't care about what you do with the dlls after the fact | 00:11:06 |
| 6pak | the issue here is on nix build system side | 00:11:25 |
| 6pak | I guess you could run autoPatchcil inside an msbuild hook? but then how would you do manual depends injection etc | 00:12:49 |
| GGG | well, it'd be possible to run it inside of a msbuild target | 00:15:21 |
| GGG | that runs before the NativeAOT one | 00:15:27 |
| GGG | we could even make it part of buildDotnetModule itself and it'd inject the msbuild target whenever possible (i.e. when people haven't specified a solution instead of a csproj or not specified one at all) | 00:16:25 |

actually this made me think, GGG how would patchcil handle nativeaot builds? there is no cil then, you'd probably just patchelf if needed | 00:16:26 |
| GGG | there is CIL before it compiles it to native | 00:16:43 |
| Emma [it/its] | well that, sure | 00:16:50 |
| 6pak | and nativeaot only uses the system linker if you explicitly mark the imports as DirectPInvoke | 00:17:11 |
| GGG | although I wouldn't put effort into it initially since the amount of packages that use NativeAOT in nixpkgs is small from my knowledge | 00:17:14 |
| Emma [it/its] | DirectPInvoke? cant say ive heard of that before | 00:18:54 |
| 6pak | In reply to @gggkiller:matrix.org
that runs before the NativeAOT one that's what I mean yes but then how would you do anything custom with patchcil from nix | 00:20:03 |
| 6pak | like add a required native dependency to a cil assembly | 00:20:17 |
| 6pak | like you would with patchelf --add-needed | 00:20:45 |

DirectPInvoke? cant say ive heard of that before https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/native-aot/interop#direct-pinvoke-calls | 00:21:24 |
| Emma [it/its] | this looks like codegen for dllimport? | 00:23:34 |
| 6pak | it makes dllimport use standard dynamic/static linking instead dlopen-ing at runtime | 00:25:39 |
| 6pak | so unless you do that, patchelf wont see the dependencies in naot binaries | 00:26:02 |
| Emma [it/its] | i see | 00:28:22 |
| GGG | same way you do with autoPatchelfHook, add it to runtimeDeps | 02:16:11 |
| GGG | then it'll add it to every single assembly (or ELF in case of autoPatchelfHook) | 02:16:29 |
| GGG | if you've chosen NativeAOT then you're in for the headache imo | 02:16:51 |
| GGG | Redacted or Malformed Event | 05:04:30 |
