This reverts commit eeabf85780.
This change suddenly makes tons of stdenv internals visible in
nativeBuildInputs of every derivation, which doesn't seem desirable.
E.g:
````
nix-repl> hello.nativeBuildInputs
[ «derivation /nix/store/bcfkyf6bhssxd2vzwgzmsbn7b5b9rpxc-patchelf-0.9.drv»
«derivation /nix/store/4wnshnz9wwanpfzcrdd76rri7pyqn9sk-paxctl-0.9.drv»
<< snip 10+ lines >>
«derivation /nix/store/d35pgh1lcg5nm0x28d899pxj30b8c9b2-gcc-wrapper-6.4.0.drv»
]

Additionally, instead of pulling them from `setup.sh`, route them via
Nix. This gets us one step closer to making stdenv be a plain attribute
set instead of a derivation.
@vcunat and others rightly point out that it's easier to quote always,
than learn Bash's idiosyncrasies enough to know when it doesn't make a
difference.
This reverts commit 2743078f66, which
removes quotes that don't do anything, and then goes further adding
even more quotes.
I took some liberties with the flags-echoing code to make it more
concise and correct. Also, a few warnings in findInputs and friends I
skipped because I am going to rewrite those anyways.
Thanks @grahamc for telling me about this great linter!
This makes those files a bit easier to read. Also, for what it's worth,
it brings us one baby step closer to handling spaces in store paths.
Also, I optimized handling of many transitive deps with read. Probably,
not very beneficial, but nice to enforce the pkg-per-line structure.
Doing so let me find much dubious code and fix it.
Two misc notes:
- `propagated-user-env-packages` also needed to be adjusted as
sometimes it is copied to/from the propagated input files.
- `local fd` should ensure that file descriptors aren't clobbered
during recursion.
When not cross compiling, nativeBuildInputs and buildInputs have
identical behaviour. Currently that is implemented by having
mkDerivation do a concatenation of those variables in Nix code and pass
that to the builder via the nativeBuildInputs attribute.
However, that has some annoying side effects, like `foo.buildInputs`
evaluating to `[ ]` even if buildInputs were specified in the nix
expression for foo.
Instead, pass buildInputs and nativeBuildInputs in separate variables as
usual, and move the logic of cross compilation vs. native compilation to
the stdenv builder script. This is probably a tiny bit uglier but
fixes the previous problem.
Issue #4855.
`stripHash` documentation states that it prints out the stripped name to
the stdout, but the function stored the value in `strippedName`
instead.
Basically all usages did something like
`$(stripHash $foo | echo $strippedName)` which is just braindamaged.
Fixed the implementation and all invocations.
Close #15803. This avoids the error:
while setting up the build environment: executing
‘/nix/store/7sb42axk5lrxqz45nldrb2pchlys14s1-bash-4.3-p42/bin/bash’:
Argument list too long
Note: I wanted to make it optional based on buildCommand length,
but that seems pointless as I'm sure it's less performant.

On Linux, paxctl's setup hook should overwrite the paxmark stub, but the
stub is defined after the setup hooks are sourced, so the stub ends up
overwriting the real function. The result is that paxmark fails to do
anything. The fix is to define the stub before any setup hooks are
sourced. Thanks to @vcunat for figuring this out.
Closes #15492
I'm giving this up. Feel free to find some reasonable variant that works
at least on Linux and Darwin. Problems encountered:
- During bootstrap of Darwin stdenv `env -0` and some bash features
don't work.
- Without `env -0` the contents of some multi-line phases is taken as
variable declarations, which wouldn't typically matter, but the PR
wanted to refuse bash-invalid names which would be occasionally
triggered. This commit dowgrades that to a warning with explanation.
It turned out that process substitution fed into a while-cycle
isn't recognized during darwin bootstrap:
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/35382446/nixlog/1/raw
Also fix broken NIX_DEBUG output, noticed by abbradar.
The set/env fix in #14907 wasn't very good, so let's use a null-delimited
approach. Suggested by Aszlig.
In particular, this should fix a mass-breakage on Darwin, though I was
unable to test that.
bash variable names may only contain alphanumeric ASCII-symbols and _,
and must not start with a number. Nix expression attribute names however
might contain nearly every character (in particular spaces and dashes).
Previously, a substitution that was not a valid bash name would be
expanded to an empty string. This commit introduce a check that throws
a (hopefully) helpful error when a wrong name is used in a substitution.
Close #14335.
Since 89036ef76a, when a package doesn't include a configure script,
the build complains with:
grep: : No such file or directory
grep: : No such file or directory
This prevents that.
Otherwise, when building glibc and other packages, the "strip" from
bootstrapTools is used, which doesn't recognise some tags produced by
the newer "ld" from binutils.
Fixes #12632.
I think it's better to quote this variable in general, because it is
common and even documented to pass space-separated commands in there.
The greps should just fail in that case and `if` won't proceed
which seems fine for such cases, and it's certainly better than
passing additional unintended parameters to grep
(which was happening all the time before).
Doing it in an openssl setup hook only works if packages have openssl
as a build input - it doesn't work if they're using a program linked
against openssl.
Commit 6d928ab684 changed this to not
preserve timestamps. However, that results in non-determinism; in
particular, it gives us a broken $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH (especially for
everything using fetchFromGitHub). Builds affected by timestamps <
1980 should be fixed in some other way (e.g. changing the timestamp to
some fixed date > 1980).
This is used by some build tools to provide reproducible builds. See
https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/
for more info.
Later, we'll want to set this to a more intelligent value (such as the
most recent mtime of any source file).
So far if no configure script is found or no makefile,
the rest of the phase is skipped, *including* post-hooks.
I find that behavior unexpected/unintuitive.
Earlier version of this patch had problems due to me assuming
that $configureScript is always a simple path, but that turned out
to be false in many cases, e.g. perl.
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
