Subject: [PATCH] haskell.packages.ghc910: work around aarch64-darwin output
 cycles
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This ports our infamous patch for Cabal that prevents certain parts of
the Paths_* module from being generated in order to prevent unnecessary
references on aarch64-darwin, to GHC >= 9.10.

++    -- we struggle with unnecessarily retained store path references due to the
++    -- use of `Paths_*` modules – even if `getLibDir` is not used, it'll end up
++    -- in the final library or executables we build.
++    --
++    -- When using a different output for the executables and library, this
++    -- becomes more sinister: The library will contain a reference to the bin
++    -- output and itself due to `getLibDir` and `getBinDir`, but the executables
++    -- will do so, too. Either due to linking dynamically or because the library
++    -- is linked statically into the executable and retains those references.
++    -- Since Nix disallows cyclical references between two outputs, it becomes
++    -- impossible to use the `Paths_*` module and a separate `bin` output for
++    -- aarch64-darwin.
++    --
++    -- The solution we have resorted to for now, is to trim the `Paths_*` module
++    -- dynamically depending on what references *could* be used without causing
++    -- a cyclical reference. That has the effect that any code that would not
++    -- cause a cyclical reference with dead code elimination will compile and
++    -- work for aarch64-darwin. If the code would use a `get*Dir` function that
++    -- has been omitted, this would indicate that the code would have caused a
++    -- cyclical reference anyways.
++    --
++    -- The logic for this makes some pretty big assumptions about installation
++    -- prefixes that probably only hold fully in nixpkgs with
++    -- `haskellPackages.mkDerivation`. Simple uses outside nixpkgs that have
++    -- everything below the same prefix should continue to work as expected,
++    -- though.
++    --
++    -- We assume the following:
++    --
++    -- - flat_prefix is `$out`.
++    -- - flat_libdir etc. are always below `$out`.
++    --
++    -- Since in the normal case due to static linking `$bin` and `$out` will
++    -- have the same references in libraries/executables, we need to either
++    -- prevent usage of `getBinDir` or `getLibDir` to break the cycle in case
++    -- `flat_bindir` is not below `$out`. We have decided to always allow usage
++    -- of `getBinDir`, so `getLibDir` gets dropped if a separate `bin` output is
++    -- used. This has the simple reason that `$out` which contains `flat_libdir`
++    -- tends to be quite big – we would like to have a `bin` output that doesn't
++    -- require keeping that around.
