A draft, because this sits on top of #62335 - direct any attention about the re2 changes to that PR.

Motivation for this change

With a little effort, clickhouse builds and appears to work on darwin.

The main issue is that it wants to be built with gcc (specifically gcc8) rather than clang, and therefore any c++-linked libraries have to be built with gcc too. This is largely achieved through stdenv-overriding, but in the case of boost requires a minor alteration. I think this is worth it, though - because a gcc-built boost is a valid thing a user might have need of.

The package overrides are only conditionally applied where needed, because I didn't want to cause linux builds to require these packages to be built specifically with gcc 8 rather than the default.

Tested on macos 10.13.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nix-review --run "nix-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Assured whether relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

this requires a couple of patches but also wants to be built with gcc8,
requiring us to ensure c++ libraries we link to are also built similarly.

@risicle do you mind rebasing this?

Sure, I'll rebase & retest it when I next have access to a darwin machine.

Hmm, this might be a bit delayed as it looks like upstream have broken building on macos ClickHouse/ClickHouse#6429

The main issue is that it wants to be built with gcc (specifically gcc8) rather than clang

We support both gcc and clang, but clang generates slightly less efficient code according to our performance test and we use gcc for production builds.

PS. Our production releases has migrated to gcc-9.

Thank you for your contributions.
This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days.
If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.
Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

  1. Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the
    related code and @ mention them in a comment.
  2. Ask on the NixOS Discourse. 3. Ask on the #nixos channel on
    irc.freenode.net.

I actually think most of the work I did here has made it in by other means 🎉, so I'm going to close this.
