core/pkgs/stdenv/linux/default.nix

# This file constructs the standard build environment for the
# Linux platform.  It's completely pure; that is, it relies on no
# external (non-Nix) tools, such as /usr/bin/gcc, and it contains a C
# compiler and linker that do not search in default locations,
# ensuring purity of components produced by it.
#
# It starts from prebuilt seed bootstrapFiles and creates a series of
# nixpkgs instances (stages) to gradually rebuild stdenv, which
# is used to build all other packages (including the bootstrapFiles).
#
# Goals of the bootstrap process:
# 1. final stdenv must not reference any of the bootstrap files.
# 2. final stdenv must not contain any of the bootstrap files.
# 3. final stdenv must not contain any of the files directly
#    generated by the bootstrap code generators (assembler, linker,
#    compiler).
#
# These goals ensure that final packages and final stdenv are built
# exclusively using nixpkgs package definitions and don't depend
# on bootstrapTools (via direct references, inclusion
# of copied code, or code compiled directly by bootstrapTools).
#
# Stages are described below along with their definitions.
#
# Debugging stdenv dependency graph:
# An useful tool to explore dependencies across stages is to use
# '__bootPackages' attribute of 'stdenv. Examples of last 3 stages:
# - stdenv
# - stdenv.__bootPackages.stdenv
# - stdenv.__bootPackages.stdenv.__bootPackages.stdenv
# - ... and so on.
#
# To explore build-time dependencies in graphical form one can use
# the following:
#     $ nix-store --query --graph $(nix-instantiate -A stdenv) |
#         grep -P -v '[.]sh|[.]patch|bash|[.]tar' | # avoid clutter
#         dot -Tsvg > stdenv-final.svg
#
# To find all the packages built by a particular stdenv instance:
#    $ for stage in 0 1 2 3 4; do
#      echo "stage${stage} used in:"
#      nix-store --query --graph $(nix-instantiate -A stdenv) |
#          grep -P ".*bootstrap-stage${stage}-stdenv.*->.*" |
#          sed 's/"[0-9a-z]\{32\}-/"/g'
#      done
#
# To verify which stdenv was used to build a given final package:
#     $ nix-store --query --graph $(nix-instantiate -A stdenv) |
#       grep -P -v '[.]sh|[.]patch|bash|[.]tar' |
#       grep -P '.*stdenv.*->.*glibc-2'
#     "...-bootstrap-stage2-stdenv-linux.drv" -> "...-glibc-2.35-224.drv";
#
# For a TUI (rather than CLI) view, you can use:
#
#     $ nix-tree --derivation $(nix-instantiate -A stdenv)
