Note there was recently somebody in nix-gl-host issues advertising their Rust rewrite

Did you take a look at https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-toolkit already? I think they are battling with similar issues, plus sandboxing on top. It seems like they are using ld.so.cache as a loading mechanism instead of the LD_* env var and that might be more robust?

Well here's the first offender

Pointed out to me today by a coworker:

[connorbaker@nixos-desktop:~]$ nix eval nixpkgs#path --apply '(path: path)'
/nix/store/xnjw9gmfmpppdj6bxpw6cfkspc3h6xwl-source

[connorbaker@nixos-desktop:~]$ nix eval nixpkgs#path --apply '(path: "${path}")'
"/nix/store/6hqgw3kmvcv4glqqs64idkwvp7zx0c11-xnjw9gmfmpppdj6bxpw6cfkspc3h6xwl-source"

:(

(yes, it copies the entirety of nixpkgs from one path in the store to another path in the store)

A string interpolates to itself.

A path in an interpolated expression is first copied into the Nix store, and the resulting string is the [store path] of the newly created store object .
