Copy Link

Adds a stripped down copy of LLVM 11 from nixpkgs-23.11. Only includes llvmPackages_11.clang-unwrapped and llvmPackages_11.llvm.

Motivation:

rustc and LLVM versions need to be compatible to avoid linker bug. Current rustc version in repository is not compatible with LLVM 12 or higher. Due to llvmPackages_11 being removed on nixpkgs-unstable, a stripped copy from the stable branch is added to this repository and called from the flake.nix. Additionally adds llvmPackages_11 to the output of this flake to be used by artiq-zynq.

Why not use <nixpkgs/...> builtin?

While it works, it requires --impure flag.

Can llvmPackages_11 be retrieved from mozilla-overlay?

As I understand it, the overlay uses the llvmPackages provided by nixpkgs-unstable and thus does not expose llvmPackages_11.

Why not add another nixos-23.11 channel to the inputs of this flake?

This works and is a simple fix, however it adds bloat to the dev environment.
