 emily | yes, it's on the SoC | 17:14:49 |
| emily | that's why they have such good memory bandwidth | 17:14:52 |
 raitobezarius | i don't need good memory bandwidth | 17:15:00 |
| raitobezarius | i need CI machines | 17:15:03 |
| emily | it's a non-trivial portion of the perf | 17:15:07 |
| raitobezarius | In reply to @emilazy:matrix.org
if you can get Buildkite to only assign slots from the same CL then it seems fine to do 1 unlikely | 17:15:22 |
| emily | well it's on the physical package. maybe someone has been wild enough to try and replace just the memory | 17:15:35 |
| emily | sort of doubt it would work though | 17:15:42 |
| emily | https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/configure/workflows/controlling-concurrency#concurrency-and-parallelism? | 17:16:24 |
| emily | not sure if this would work for the purpose | 17:16:37 |
| raitobezarius | i don't think this is meant for this task | 17:16:47 |
| raitobezarius | i'd need to tag certain agents | 17:16:55 |
| raitobezarius | and stick to them once a job gets there | 17:17:01 |
| emily | the gate thing seems essentially like a mutex to me | 17:17:17 |
| emily | but I guess the problem is distribution across machines | 17:17:27 |
| emily | perhaps https://buildkite.com/docs/pipelines/clusters solves this problem | 17:21:59 |
| emily | if you can get the integration to select a cluster appropriately to send a CL to | 17:22:16 |
 aloisw | Are the things built by the CI available for download somewhere? | 17:32:50 |
| emily | I believe no (I wanted to check a while back and it looked like there was definitely no artefact uploading going on) | 17:47:00 |
| aloisw | :( | 17:48:05 |
| aloisw | Can someone with Darwin access then please build https://gerrit.lix.systems/c/lix/+/3778 and post one of the lix-util, lix-expr, lix-fetchers, lix-store pkg-config files? | 17:48:53 |
| emily | static or dynamic? | 17:49:45 |
| aloisw | Dynamic is enough, things break due to linker flag reordering and I want to know whether it happens before pkg-config or after. | 17:51:42 |
| aloisw | (I assume that dynamic is the default on Darwin too, otherwise static would be better.) | 17:52:16 |
| emily | yes. building | 17:54:08 |

| 18:32:35 |
| emily | let me know if you need anything else | 18:32:37 |
| aloisw | Thank you very much, I think I see what's going on now. Meson seems to translate the -l arguments it gets from pkg-config into the library names itself, and then omit duplicates. | 18:35:16 |
| aloisw | Of course when the -l was prefixed with -Wl,-force_load it will not remove the latter, meaning it will apply to some random garbage instead (like other libraries, -Wl,-force_load from other libraries, or the end of the command line). | 18:36:09 |
| emily | when I first used Meson I was like oh this is a pretty good build system | 18:38:12 |
