layout.rs

//! The directory layout of one target's sysroot, and the cache key that names it.
//!
//! Design: `spec/cross-compile/08-sysroots.md` sections 8.2 and 8.3.
//!
//! # Why the directories are split the way they are
//!
//! Section 8.3 is about a multiplication. Headers are naively `arch x os x libc x libc-version`
//! trees, which for glibc alone is eight architectures times six versions and several hundred
//! megabytes, and `spec/cross-compile/13-distribution.md` has a size budget that number destroys.
//!
//! The fix is two splits that turn the product into a sum. The per version differences go inside
//! the files as `#if __GLIBC_MINOR__ >= n`, so one tree serves every version. The per architecture
//! differences stay in directories, because they are whole files rather than lines, but only for
//! the small part of a libc that has any: `bits/` and a handful of others. Everything else is one
//! copy.
//!
//! That is why a sysroot here has two include directories rather than one. [`Sysroot::arch_include`]
//! holds the files that differ by architecture and is searched first, and
//! [`Sysroot::generic_include`] holds the copy that every architecture shares.
//!
//! A Linux target searches four directories and not two, because the kernel's headers are a second
//! pair with the same split and a different owner. They are [`Kernel`], their root is the cache
//! rather than a sysroot, and the order is the libc's two and then the kernel's two, which is the
//! order `zig cc -E -v` prints for a glibc target. `linux/` and `asm/` are nine megabytes of files
//! that are the same for every target, so one tree is shared and only `asm/` is copied per
//! architecture.
//!
//! # Why the root is a function of the tuple
//!
//! `spec/cross-compile/02-the-goal.md` claim 5 asks for byte identical output from different hosts.
//! A sysroot that lands in a directory named after the host, or after the day it was built, or
//! after a hash of an absolute path, breaks that before anything is compiled. So the root is the
//! cache directory the caller chose plus the canonical spelling of the tuple, and nothing else.
//!
//! The canonical spelling is the key rather than a hash of it because it is already unique, it is
//! already a legal directory name, and a cache a person can read is a cache a person can debug. It
//! carries the whole ten field model, so `x86_64-linux-gnu` and `x86_64-linux-gnu.2.28` are
//! different directories, which is the point of `env_version` being in the tuple at all.
