 whispers [& it/fae] | out of curiosity, is gcc 16 in the picture for default for 26.11, or would we expect that to be a 27.05+ thing? | 15:45:02 |
 K900 | Probably will be in 26.11 | 15:45:50 |
| K900 | Unless it's a huge unusable mess | 15:45:57 |

 llakala | followup to the issue posted a few weeks ago - https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/533770 is now good for review | 02:15:40 |
| llakala | gives a really great perf diff | 02:15:50 |

| flumffy | I've talked to John Ericson about getting the OpenBSD fixes packaged for a while now, but haven't had time to clean it up enough for nixpkgs (there's some ugly IFD and patches to the llvmPackages components). | 03:02:01 |
| flumffy | I'm not sure whether importing all of the upstream LLVM patches wholesale is the best approach; it does give us a compiler that's as close to what you would get on a native OpenBSD machine at the cost of some miscellaneous patches that are probably unneeded. | 03:04:25 |
| flumffy | It also introduces a need to pass a __FakeBSD__ define into the LLVM build since some of the patches which are required for binaries that will execute properly have their changes gated with an __OpenBSD__ define, while others don't. | 03:05:00 |
 Alyssa Ross | For other BSDs we have not patched compilers. | 07:52:48 |
| Alyssa Ross | Why do these patches need to be in Nixpkgs at all, rather than in LLVM upstream? | 07:52:58 |
| flumffy | The OpenBSD developers maintain a set of patches to the compiler for security reasons. I'm not sure if they've made any attempts at upstreaming said patches, nor am I sure they ever plan to. | 07:55:19 |
| flumffy | (There are switches such as -fret-clean introduced, which OpenBSD uses when building libc past 7.7 or 7.8. Removing these switches is always an option, but there is still a requirement on the patches to the linker so that the compiled binaries actually run on a modern OpenBSD system, and I feel that preserving as much of their compiler as possible is optimal.) | 07:56:30 |
| Alyssa Ross | Doesn't sound at all optimal for me as an LLVM package maintainer | 07:56:47 |
| Alyssa Ross | If upstream LLVM cannot produce binaries that run on modern OpenBSD, I'm sure they'd be interested in patches that fix taht. | 07:57:12 |
| Alyssa Ross | * | 07:57:14 |
| flumffy | I'm not sure if upstream LLVM actually cares to support cross-compilation to OpenBSD, to my knowledge it's not exactly a supported configuration anywhere. | 07:59:45 |
