+# CC Wrapper hygiene
+#
+# For at least cross compilation, we need to depend on multiple cc-wrappers at
+# once---specifically up to one per sort of dependency. This follows from having
+# different tools targeting different platforms, and different flags for those
+# tools. For example:
+#
+#   # Flags for compiling (whether or not linking) C code for the...
+#   NIX_BUILD_CFLAGS_COMPILE  # ...build platform
+#   NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE        # ...host platform
+#   NIX_TARGET_CFLAGS_COMPILE # ...target platform
+#
+# Notice that these platforms are the 3 *relative* to the package using
+# cc-wrapper, not absolute like `x86_64-pc-linux-gnu`.
+#
+# The simplest solution would be to have separate cc-wrappers per (3 intended
+# use-cases * n absolute concrete platforms). For the use-case axis, we would
+# @-splice in 'BUILD_' '' 'TARGET_' to use the write environment variables when
+# building the cc-wrapper, and likewise prefix the binaries' names so they didn't
+# clobber each other on the PATH. But the need for 3x cc-wrappers, along with
+# non-standard name prefixes, is annoying and liable to break packages' build
+# systems.
+#
+# Instead, we opt to have just one cc-wrapper per absolute platform. Matching
+# convention, the binaries' names can just be prefixed with their target
+# platform. On the other hand, that means packages will depend on not just
+# multiple cc-wrappers, but the exact same cc-wrapper derivation multiple ways.
+# That means the exact same cc-wrapper derivation must be able to avoid
+# conflicting with itself, despite the fact that `setup-hook.sh`, the `addCvars`
+# function, and `add-flags.sh` are all communicating with each other with
+# environment variables. Yuck.
+#
+# The basic strategy is:
+#
+#  - Everyone exclusively *adds information* to relative-platform-specific
+#    environment variables, like `NIX_TARGET_CFLAGS_COMPILE`, to communicate
+#    with the wrapped binaries.
+#
+#  - The wrapped binaries will exclusively *read* cc-wrapper-derivation-specific
+#    environment variables distinguished with with `infixSalt`, like
+#    `NIX_@infixSalt@_CFLAGS_COMPILE`.
+#
+#  - `add-flags`, beyond its old task of reading extra flags stuck inside the
+#    cc-wrapper derivation, will convert the relative-platform-specific
+#    variables to cc-wrapper-derivation-specific variables. This conversion is
+#    the only time all but one of the cc-wrapper-derivation-specific variables
+#    are set.
+#
+# This ensures the flow of information is exclusive from
+# relative-platform-specific variables to cc-wrapper-derivation-specific
+# variables. This allows us to support the general case of a many--many relation
+# between relative platforms and cc-wrapper derivations.
+#
+# For more details, read the individual files where the mechanisms used to
+# accomplish this will be individually documented.
+
+
+# It's fine that any other cc-wrapper will redefine this. Bash functions close
+# over no state, and there's no @-substitutions within, so any redefined
+# function is guaranteed to be exactly the same.
