As @lopsided98 points out in #105305, since the hashes are now target
sensative, and until we find reason to actually care to test what they
are exactly, we are best just normalizing them away in the tests.
Cargo sets `CARGO_FEATURE_*` for all features when running a build
script:
https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/environment-variables.html#environment-variables-cargo-sets-for-build-scripts
Some crates have build scripts (e.g. openblas-src) that rely on the
feature variables being properly set.
Since we now need several representations of features, this change
also updates `createFeatures` to be a list of features, rather than
`rustc` feature arguments. `configureCrate` and `buildCrate` then
build the required representations as-needed.
Fixes#68978
As it turns out Darwin does most of the things differently then "normal"
systems. They are using a different shared library extension and require
an obscure commandline parameter that has to be added to every build
system out there. That issue seems to be with clang on Darwin as on
Linux that flag isn't required to build the very same tests (when using
clang).
After adjusting these two details the tests are running fine on the
darwin box that I was able to obtain.
According to the Cargo documentation:
> The build script does not have access to the dependencies listed in
> the dependencies or dev-dependencies section (they’re not built
> yet!). Also, build dependencies are not available to the package
> itself unless also explicitly added in the [dependencies] table.

This change separates linkage of regular dependencies and build
dependencies.
Previously I did use `runCommand` to do the same. Using
releaseTools.aggregate seems a lot saner and we might get nicer hydra
output of the tests that are failing.
It used to be the case (ref missing) that cargo did treat
`src/$libName.rs` as an alternative to `src/lib.rs` when the latter
wasn't present. Recently I failed to reproduce that with vanilla cargo
and it started to cause pain with some crates of the form:
some_crate/
`- src
`- main.rs
`- some_crate.rs
We would build `src/some_crate.rs` and thing it is a library while that
might not be the actual case. This crate is a valid `bin` crate not a
`lib` crate as far as I can tell from the samples I took.
I removed support for the previously required heuristic and commented
out the test cases in case we will need them again. We could crawl in
the Git history but chances are that the next person looking into this
doesn't know about the history.
This helps us instruct rustc to build tests instead of binaries. The
actual build will then ONLY produce test executables. This is a first
step towards having rust crate tests within nixpkgs.
We default back to only a single output in test cases since that is the
only reasonable thing to do here.
Producing libraries or binaries in addition to tests would theoretically
be feasible but usually generates different dependency trees. It is very
common to have some libraries in `[dev-depdendencies]` within Cargo.toml
just for your tests. To not start mixing things up going with a
dedicated derivation for the test build sounds like the best choice for
now.
To use this you must provide a proper test dependency chain to
`buildRustCrate` (as you would usually do with your non-test inputs).
And then set the `buildTests` attribute to `true`. The derivation will
then contain all tests that were built in `$out/tests`. All common test
patterns and directories should be supported and tested by this change.
Below is an example how you would run a single test from the derivation.
This commit contains some more examples in the `buildRustCrateTests`
attribute set that might be helpful.
```
let
drv = buildRustCrate {
…
buildTests true;
};
in runCommand "test-my-crate" {} ''
touch $out
exec ${drv}/tests/my-test
''
```
Before this change, buildRustCrate always called rustc with
--extern libName=[...]libName[...]
However, Cargo permits using a different name under which a dependency
is known to a crate. For example, rand 0.7.0 uses:
[dependencies]
getrandom_package = { version = "0.1.1", package = "getrandom", optional = true }
Which introduces the getrandom dependency such that it is known as
getrandom_package to the rand crate. In this case, the correct extern
flag is of the form
--extern getrandom_package=[...]getrandom[...]
which is currently not supported. In order to support such cases, this
change introduces a crateRenames argument to buildRustCrate. This
argument is an attribute set of dependencies that should be renamed. In
this case, crateRenames would be:
{
"getrandom" = "getrandom_package";
}
The extern options are then built such that if the libName occurs as
an attribute in this set, it value will be used as the local
name. Otherwise libName will be used as before.
This commit adds test based on real-world crates (brotli).
There were a few more edge cases that were missing beforehand. Also it
turned out that we can get rid of the `finalBins` list since that will
now be handled during runtime.
