hopefully silly question time: should stdenv.hostPlatform.useLLVM = true on darwin?
<thefloweringash>
went looking for how libcxx/libcxxabi build without contamination from stdenv and found they have special stdenv overrides to use lldClangNoLibcxx as their stdenv
<thefloweringash>
but it's only applied when useLLVM = true, and currently that's not the case on darwin
<thefloweringash>
comments suggest it might only be for cross compiling

thefloweringash: I don't have useLLVM is this new?
<thefloweringash>
I'm still digging. All the consumers say `stdenv.hostPlatform.useLLVM or false`, so it's expected to be absent some times
<Mic92>
It's not set on OS-X
<Mic92>
wasi32 has it
<Mic92>
so web-assembly
<thefloweringash>
it looks like a solution to the problems I'm seeing, so I'm pondering if it should be set
<LnL>
any particular reason we should? it's for the cross stdenv
<LnL>
if you want to use that for conditionals stdenv.cc.isClang is the correct thing to use
<LnL>
using that would make things pretty messy, better to contain that stuff in the stdenv bootstrap stages IMHO
<thefloweringash>
I suppose I can copy and paste the logic over.

<thefloweringash>
I figured that logic was the solution, and was surprised that macos didn't declare itself as using llvm
<LnL>
do we need that tho?
<LnL>
it's basically linux specific to build llvm with libstdc++ AFAIK
<thefloweringash>
I don't yet understand what property `useLLVM` is conveying. Is it not a description, but instead a parameter that determines what the resulting platform should do?
<LnL>
it's used for the linux -> risc cross stdenv
<LnL>
which needs clang instead of gcc
<thefloweringash>
libcxx has libcxxabi as a dependency, I was guessing that if you include it in your stdenv.cc's extraPackages as well as in it's buildDependencies that there would be conflicts
<thefloweringash>
buildInputs*
<LnL>
don't really follow, but the bootstrap stages handle that
<LnL>
the first stage has libcxx = bootstrapTools; which makes all the default clang packages use that instead of an actual build
<thefloweringash>
but the cc wrapper in the bootstrap stages diverges from the "regular" one in llvmPackages.libcxxClang; it doesn't include compiler-rt which I found breaks curl, and it doesn't include libcxxabi, and I'm not yet sure if that's a problem
<LnL>
I don't know the exact steps but stage1 or 2 will be build a partial llvm environment and then 4 has a full one
<thefloweringash>
IIUC the stage 4 cc-wrapper uses the same structure as all the other stages, so even though the packages have been rebuilt it's still missing compiler-rt
<{^_^}>
#87583 (by Gaelan, 14 weeks ago, merged): stdenv-darwin: now with 50% less LLVM!
<LnL>
as for the stages think of it like this stage0: no compiler, stage1: bootstrap, stage2: libc++, libc++abi, CF, stage3: binutils, stage4: everything to replace bootstrap references in the final stage
<LnL>
this is pretty hand-wavy tho, it's possible this could be simplified a bunch
<thefloweringash>
the spirit is more important than what it's actually doing though, so I appreciate the description :-)
<thefloweringash>
I'm just a bit concerned that the structure of the clang wrappers and related stuff is evolving in the main nixpkgs, but in the darwin bootstrap it must remain fixed to the contents of the bootstrap tools binary blob.
