{ CF, apple_sdk, osx_private_sdk }: # cf-private is a bit weird, but boils down to CF with a weird setup-hook that # makes a build link against the system CoreFoundation rather than our pure one. # The reason it exists is that although our CF headers and build are pretty legit # now, the underlying runtime is quite different. Apple's in a bit of flux around CF # right now, and support three different backends for it: swift, "C", and an ObjC # one. The former two can be built from public sources, but the ObjC one isn't really # public. Unfortunately, it's also one of the core underpinnings of a lot of Mac- # specific behavior, and defines a lot of symbols that some Objective C apps depend # on, even though one might expect those symbols to derive from Foundation. So if # your app relies on NSArray and several other basic ObjC types, it turns out that # because of their magic "toll-free bridging" support, the symbols for those types # live in CoreFoundation with an ObjC runtime. And because that isn't public, we have # this hack in place to let people link properly anyway. Phew! # # This can be revisited if Apple ever decide to release the ObjC backend in a publicly # buildable form. # # This doesn't really need to rebuild CF, but it's cheap, and adding a setup hook to # an existing package was annoying. We need a buildEnv that knows how to add those CF.overrideAttrs (orig: { # PLEASE if you add things to this derivation, explain in reasonable detail why # you're adding them and when the workaround can go away.
