| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | I currently find that if I try to ask for recursive output on my configuration, I end up getting an absolutely inscrutable error about list index 0 is out of bounds in lib/generators.nix toPretty method. | 00:07:04 |

I currently find that if I try to ask for recursive output on my configuration, I end up getting an absolutely inscrutable error about list index 0 is out of bounds in lib/generators.nix toPretty method. It turns out that this was Nix deciding not to show me that the actual error was in a let block in nixos/modules/tasks/filesystems.nix. I opened https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/320846 to fix this. | 18:39:14 |

 Alexandros Liarokapis | the rust infra has this definition:
linkerForTarget = if shouldUseLLD pkgsTargetTarget.stdenv.targetPlatform
&& !pkgsTargetTarget.stdenv.cc.bintools.isLLVM # whether stdenv's linker is lld already
then "${pkgsBuildTarget.llvmPackages.bintools}/bin/${pkgsTargetTarget.stdenv.cc.targetPrefix}ld.lld"
else ccForTarget;
when cross compiling to arm-none-eabihf (target = "thumbv7em-none-eabihf") this ends up picking arm-none-eabi-gcc as CARGO_TARGET_*_LINKER which then fails due to being passed flags like --gc-sections, -flavor, --as-needed, eh-frame-hdr and similar.

| Alexandros Liarokapis | changing it to arm-none-eabihf-ld works. | 16:48:13 |

| Alexandros Liarokapis | taking about https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/build-support/rust/lib/default.nix | 16:52:02 |
| Alexandros Liarokapis | maybe platform.isNone should be added as a shouldUseLLD check ? | 16:52:19 |

| Alexandros Liarokapis | in which cases is using ccForTarget correct? mainly for the clang environments ? | 13:01:09 |

 Alyssa Ross | Using LLD on aarch64 static is a hack around a rustc bug. It wasn't the intention to force lld on rustc for any architecture long term. | 07:25:45 |
| Alyssa Ross | If Rust for some reason doesn't expect to pass flags through cc on that target, we'd probably need some other check to tell it to use ld | 07:26:19 |

| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | Happy 4th of July to all 🇺🇸 folks. I spent a little side-quest on https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/324619 today. It's all super contained: the only required reading is in the PR https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/269356 from Dec 2023. | 01:16:10 |

| Philip Taron (UTC-8) | When I run maintainers/scripts/check-by-name.sh master locally in my nixpkgs repository, without any changes, I get this error:

What arguments are you passing to the script? | 01:04:19 |
