Hi Guix!

I figured out this morning that my guix pull profile ("current") was more than 1GB. Looking at the closure, I found a few oddities.

There's gcc in there, which is the second most important contributor after guix-*-modules (150 MB). It's referenced by gcc-toolchain, itself only referenced by the guile-wrapper we build in (guix self). Can we get rid of it?

There are three versions of guile (50 MB each). Can we settle for only one?

Then maybe less important because they're small:

There are two libffi, gzip, zlib, libgc, bash-minimal, xz, pkg-config and libunistring.

We have bash-minimal and bash-static. The latter is a bit bigger than the former. Maybe we can keep only bash-minimal?

50% goes into Guix modules. There’s prolly room for improvement because
the ‘guix-COMMIT-modules’, which is #1, is actually the union of all the
other guix-*-modules.

I think that’s (@ (gnu packages commencement) guile-final), guile-3.0,
and guile-3.0-latest. However I see only two of them here.

But then, ‘guile-3.0’ being the default, it’s used in a number of
places, like:

I can’t think of a good solution to this.

That’s probably due to the fact that there are multiple Guile variants;
annoying.

It’s worth keeping in mind that thanks to deduplication, this costs much
less than it seems in terms of disk space, but it does cost in terms of
bandwidth usage.

Thanks,

bash-static is used by glibc (for the 'system' function), it's not
something that can simply be replaced with bash-minimal (due to the
cycle bash-minimal -> glibc -> bash-minimal that would result). I do
have a proposal eliminating the bash-static reference though:
* replace the 'system' function from glibc by a variant that accepts
the file name of the shell executable
* Add a macro '#define system ...' that calls this variant and inserts
__guix_bin_sh as the shell executable
* In the build system, look for bin/sh in the inputs.  If it exists,
add -D__guix_bin_sh=/gnu/store/.../bin/sh to
CFLAGS or such.
Greetings,
Maxime

Would this not violate POSIX? Since, as far as I can see,
does not give the implementation license to implement system(3) as a
macro. We could do

```
int system(const char *command) {
return __guix_run_in_shell(command, __guix_bin_sh);
}
```

though.

source code is a maze ;))
```
#define SHELL_PATH "/bin/sh" /* Path of the shell. */
#define SHELL_NAME "sh" /* Name to give it. */

couldn't we just use `-DSHELL_PATH=/gnu/store/...`?

Correction: system(3) is ISO C, not POSIX.

But:

@ C11 7.1.4p1
```
... it is permitted to take the address of a library function even if it
is also defined as a macro ^185 ...

185) This means that an implementation shall provide an actual function
for each library function, even if it also provides a macro for that
function.
```

Note the footnote. So this technically would be a violation of ISO C,
but trivially fixed. Apologies for the noise! (Though the SHELL_PATH
solution still applies, of course.)

We're trying to avoid hard-coding bash-static in glibc, instead letting the build-system fill the value in dependents. So that can't be it, right?

Using SHELL_PATH instead of the __guix_bin_sh sounds better, yes.  But
it's not 'just use -DSHELL_PATH=', we still need to change 'system'
appropriately.

Probably. But does that really matter?  The standard exists for a
reason, but we aren't aiming for POSIX certifications and it isn't the
law or something ... seems rather inconvenient for development outside a
build environment though, so perhaps SHELL_PATH could somehow fallback
to /bin/sh when outside a build environment.

Needs a 'static' to avoid multiple definitions on the same thing, but
yes, that would avoid the macro problem (though not sufficient for some
FFI).

How would it be any different from -D__guix_bin_sh=...? That argument
would simply be filled in by the build system.

Why would we need to change it? The glibc definition already uses that
macro for the shell path, it's just hard-coded to /bin/sh by default.

Oh! I understand now! The __guix_bin_sh macro would actually be included
in the expansion, not defined during the glibc build. Sorry (again) for
the noise!

If we modify the SHELL_PATH to point to
/gnu/store/...-bash-minimal-.../bin/sh, then glibc has a reference to
bash-minimal. But bash-minimal uses glibc, so bash-minimal would have a
reference to glibc. So you would have to end up with a cycle, which is
impossible in Guix.

Maxime.

Okay, another (hopefully more coherent) proposal: Patch in a

```
extern char *__guix_shell_path;
```

And then, we use a linker script to provide the definition of
__guix_shell_path at linking time. (Unfortunately there's no way to do
this with a flag, afaik...)

We could compile a '__guix_shell_path = "/..."' during the compilation
of the package (as a .o) and wrap gcc to insert it to the CLI arguments,
no linker scripts required.  Not all linkers support linker scripts,
e.g. mold doesn't from what I've read because they make the linker slower.

Alas, for some reason I couldn't find any documentation on how to define
strings in a linker script. But never mind that, since that's a far
better idea :)

Would we really need to support anything other than ld, gold, and lld,
though?

We can choose to not package mold of course, but I think it would be a
good idea to support mold, because it appears to be much faster than the
others. Furthermore, I'd like to eventually switch to mold by default,
because it's much faster.  From the README:
mold is so fast that it is only 2x /slower/ than |cp| on the same
machine. Feel free to file a bug https://github.com/rui314/mold/issues
if you find mold is not faster than other linkers.

Are you hoping for some effect on a pre-rfc2822 parser??

Just curious :)

As shown in [1], note that deduplication is defeated by packages with
multi-outputs impacted by grafted ones. For example, if one dependency
of bash-minimal is grafted, then two store items of bash-minimal (with
the same content) could live in the store and thus the reduction cost of
disk space is mitigated.
