Currently if you try to build a ghcjs version that does not exist
haskell.nix falls back on the GHC version. Once ghcjs is in the
ghc tree this will work, but for now we should have an error
message that is more descriptive than attempting and failing to
build ghc for a js target.
New error looks like this:
```
$ nix-build -A pkgs-unstable.pkgsCross.ghcjs.buildPackages.haskell-nix.compiler.ghc861
error: ghcjs 8.6.1 is no longer supported by haskell.nix. Consider using 8.6.5
```
Anyone using `hpack` and/or `stack` will have a dependency on `internal-nix-tools` (built with a fixed version of ghc). This is fine if your `nixpkgs` is one of the ones we cache, but if not we may have to wait for an extra ghc to build. When this happens it would be nice if it is at least building a more recent version (rather than an older one).
* Use nix module system to check project arguments
This change uses the nix module system for the arguments to:
* `cabalProject'`
* `cabalProject`
* `stackProject'`
* `stackProject`
This will:
* Give an error when the name or type of an argument is incorrect
(currently misnamed args are quietly ignored).
* Fixes a problem with `projectCross` not having a way to pass different args to `cabalProject`
for different platforms. We can now use:
`({pkgs, ...}: { cabalProjectLocal = if pkgs.stdenv.hostPlatform.isX then ... })`
* Use emscripten branch of GHCJS for 8.6
* Adds release-linux-only.nix (for hydra with no mac builders)
* Sets HOME to a temp dir once per derivation to help performance of emcc
* Updates materialization
* Uses symlinks to reduce ghc derivation size for wrapped ghcjs
* Removes compiler-nix-name test
This test checked that the default compiler was overridden by the
compiler-nix-name arg. There is no default any more.
The GHCJS branches used include fixes for:
* hs$ret_1 typo (should be hs$ret1)
* A bignum issue
* Delays cabal configure errors until after evaluation when possible.
* Avoids rerunning long `cabal configure` if we already know it will fail.
* Provides a way to get a component from a package or project using a `cabal` like reference.
Code using the `tool` functions will automatically use `getComponent`.
For `(hackage-package {...}).components.library` is also ok.
```
# Consider changing hackage-package use:
(pkgs.haskell-nix.hackage-package {...}).components.exes.something
(pkgs.haskell-nix.hackage-package {...}).getComponent "exe:something"
# For any cabal project:
project.hsPkgs.somepackage.components.exes.something
project.getComponent "somepackage:exe:something"
# or do it in two steps
(project.getPackage "somepackage").getComponent "exe:something"
```
The reason for the new function is that we cannot provide the attribute interface without knowing that packages are in the project first.
Here is how the `cabal configure` error output is handled:
* The `plan-nix` derivation builds even if `cabal configure` fails.
* When it fails, it copies `failed-cabal-configure.nix` to the `$out/default.nix` along with a copy of the `cabal configure` output.
* When `failed-cabal-configure.nix` is imported and used in any way it writes the `cabal configure` output with `__trace` so it will always be visible.
* Instead of a `plan` the imported nix contains a `configurationError` pointing the `cabal configure` output.
* The intermediate functions `configurationError` and bubble it up to where it is needed.
* `getPackage` returns a mostly empty proxy for a real package when there is a `configurationError`
* The `getComponent` function always returns a derivation, but the version in the proxy writes the `cabal configure` output to stdout and calls `exit 1` (so that it will never build).
`ghcOptions` has been moved from package and is now a list of strings.
old: packages.x.package.ghcOptions = "someGHCoption";
new: packages.x.ghcOptions = ["someGHCoption"];
To specify ghcOptions for all packages:
ghcOptions = ["someGHCoption"];
For a single component:
packages.x.compoents.library.ghcOptions = ["someGHCoption"];
Fixes:
Warning: `stdenv.lib` is deprecated and will be removed in the next release. Please use `pkgs.lib` instead. For more information see https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/108938
Fixes ghcjs 8.6.5 and 8.8.4.
Uses emscripten for ghcjs 8.8 and adds scripts for building ghcjs 8.8.
Many fixes for ghcjs test failures.
Includes relocatableConfigFiles for making relocatable ghcjs bundles.
This change introduces a `ghc8102-experimental` compiler-nix-name that behaves much like the `ghc8102` version but includes @JoshMeredith's patch `./patches/ghc/ghc-8.10-ubxt.patch` that writes the `cg_binds` field with:
```haskell
liftIO $ registerInterfaceDataWith "ghc/phase/core" hsc_env $ \bh ->
putWithUserData (const $ return ()) bh (map toIfaceBind $ cg_binds cg_guts)
```
Some of the places where we used to depend on the output of `plan-to-nix` containing the correct `nix-name` for the compiler have been update to avoid using incompatible interface files from the `compiler-nix-name = "ghc8102"` version of GHC.
Fixes the #441 issue with GHC 8.8.3 (fix that was already applied to GHC 8.6.5 with PR #480).
Testing environment:
- GHC 8.8.3 (cross-compiler)
- NixOS 20.03
- Building host: x86_64
- Target host: armv6l
Without this PR, the symbol `__sync_val_compare_and_swap_8` was not found by `remote-iserv` as described in #441 but this time with GHC 8.8.3. The 8.6.5 patch also works for 8.8.3. Perhaps it would be preferable to apply this patch to a range of GHC versions rather than specific versions, but I have only tested it and verified that it works properly on those specific versions.
I have not submitted this patch to the GHC GitLab as I haven't encountered any problem building a cross-compiling version of GHC from there.
It looks like we can't use 8.8 for booting due to
https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/issues/18143
* Adds nixpkgs 20.09 to get mingw-w64 version 6
(also needed for ghc 8.10 windows cross compile)
* Add materialization for ghc 8.10.2 windows cross
* Fix issue with harfbuzz override so it works with nixpkgs 20.09
* Fixes eval time issue for windows index-state test (turns off native-dns cabal flag for windows)
* Include exe extension for windows in coverage test
lib:ghc is still broken for ghc 8.10 (all variants), but it always has been and we should try to fix it properly, but it will be very tricky.
Changes to the interface of haskell.nix (from the changelog.md file):
* Removed `sources.nixpkgs-default`, use `sources.nixpkgs` instead.
* Removed `./nixpkgs` directory, use `(import ./. {}).sources`
or `./nix/sources.nix` instead.
* Removes V1 interface for details on how to fix old code see:
https://github.com/input-output-hk/haskell.nix/issues/709
* Removed defaultCompilerNixName.
* cabalProject, cabalProject', hackage-project and hackage-package
now require a `compiler-nix-name` argument.
* `haskell-nix.tool` and `.tools` now require a `compiler-nix-name` argument.
New functions `p.tool` and `p.tools` (where p is a project) do not.
Like `shellFor { tools = ... }` they will use the compiler nix name
from the project (including stack projects where it is derived from
the resolver).
* `haskell-nix.alex` and `haskell-nix.happy` have been removed. Use
`p.tool "alex" "3.2.5"` or `shellFor { tools = { alex = "3.2.5"; } }`.
* `haskell-nix.nix-tools` -> `haskell-nix.nix-tools.ghc883` (it includes
the hpack exe now).
* `haskell-nix.cabal-install` ->
`p.tool "cabal" "3.2.0.0"` or `shellFor { tools = { cabal = "3.2.0.0"; } }`
* `haskell-nix.haskellNixRoots` -> `haskell-nix.roots ghc883` or `p.roots`
Other changes:
Adds hpack executable to the nix-tools derivations.
Adds a `cabal-hpack` test to make sure `hpack` works with
`cabalProject`.
Reduces the number of calls to `cabalProject` (particularly when
checking materialization), by giving internal tools a per-compiler
attribute.
Uses happy 1.19.12 when building newer ghc versions.
Updates cabal-install 3.2.0.0 to use the source from github that
is compatible with ghc 8.10.1.
Updates the docs for callCabalProjectToNix.
Adds a license mapping to fix a common warning.
* ghc 8.10
* Adds/Updates/Removes materialization files
* Disable one-shot-kqueue-on-macos patch on ghc-8.10
* Test ghc883 and ghc8101 but only with nix 20.03
* Various smaller fixes.
This should fix the infinite recursion issue with #654

Although the default ghc used by haskell.nix is ghc 8.6.5 many of
the tools used in haskell.nix are still built with the boot compiler
ghc 8.4.4. These include
* haskell-nix.cabal-install
* haskell-nix.alex
* haskell-nix.happy
This change updates those to ghc 8.6.5 and includes materializations
for the new versions.
When cabal-install is built it is careful to disable materialization
checks on the version of itself used during the build to avoid
infinite recursion.
There was a version of nix-tools built with the boot ghc which was
only used when `checkMaterialization = true`. It was used for
the boot versions of alex, happy and hscolour. These have been update
to use the default (ghc 8.6.5) version of nix-tools and
checkMaterialization is forced off when they are being used to build
ghc. This means the materialization will only be checked for these
when they are built independently (they are included in the test set
via haskellNixRoots).
Three new arguments are added to `default.nix`:
* `defaultCompilerNixName` if not specified "ghc865" is used
* `checkMaterialization` makes it easier to switch on materialization checks
* `system` defaults to `builtins.currentSystem`
This change also moves the work needed for hydra eval to the eval
system using a new `evalPackages` feature. This includes:
* Fetching from git with `fetchgit`
* Building scripts with `runCommand` and `writeTextFile`
* `git ls-files` in `cleanGit`
* running `cabal v2-configure`
* copying materialized files (we are not sure why this is necessary but
if we do not `cp -r` the files nix will not load them on hydra)
Reduce size of `make-config-files.nix` strings by around 80%.
These are unlikely to be the cause of hydra eval time memory
issues in the GB range, but were still quite large (around 10MB for the
`cabal-simple` test case).
There was issue causing excessive builds of the `git` package when
cross compiling. Gory details are a comment in `lib/defaults.nix`
but in short if you use `git` you need an extra `.buildPackages`
one is not enough because it depends on `gdb` and that will
be different in `buildPackages` compared to
`buildPackages.buildPackages`.
Adds missing materialization files for ghc 8.4.4 (only needed
when `checkMaterialization` is on because of other
materialiazations, but good to have).
* Add compiler-nix-name to cabalProject
Setting the compiler explicitly does not make it easy for cross
compilation to also choose the correct compiler when compiling
build tools for the build platform. Also it is easy to pass the
wrong compiler type. Specifying just the nix-name of the compiler
makes that less likely.

When declared as constant, read-only relocatable data are written to an unwriteable .rel.ro.data section. Being unwriteable, the gold linker doesn't put them inside the GNU_RELRO segment, but in a always read-only segment. Starting the relocation phase of such a built program then ends in a segmentation fault.
By declaring read-only relocatable data as writeable, they will be put inside a writeable .rel.ro.data section. The gold linker will then assume that those can be put inside the GNU_RELRO segment, that will only be writeable during the relocation phase.
The as assembler and ld linker will always consider the .rel.ro.data as writeable before relocation, and put the associated data in the GNU_RELRO.

* Add native musl support
- adds haskellLibl.isNaviveMusl and related fixes (previously it was
assumed that for musl we always use cross-compilation)
- fixed some issues for musl intoduced in nixpkgs 20.03 (ssh/fetchcvs
infinite recursion, busybox pkgsMusl.pkgsStatic chain, etc.)
- cross-compilation fixes for ghc (absolute path for ar, always pass
target to configure, libffi and gmp packages for target platform) -
this needs more testing
* Better explanation for targetPlatform.{libffi, gmp}
* Ghc configure script now respect AR env variable
