Sergei Zimmerman	60d124b36e	meson: Fix nix_system_cpu for MIPS and 32 bit ARM systems ... Prior patches in 54dc5314e8 and 6db6190002 fixed the default system double for i686 and ppc/ppc64. This also patch also covers 32 bit arm and mips. ARM cpu names are taken from host_machine.cpu() for a lack of a better option, but host_machine.cpu_family() is preferred, since that is supposed to be somewhat standard for cross files. Endianness is handled correctly by looking at host_machine.endian(). This also updates the documentation to be up to date to how system cpu is translated from the host_machine specification.	2025-07-27 00:50:53 +03:00

Dmitry Bogatov	143b87c1a9	Fix documentation of the NAR archive structure ... For regular, non-executable files, there is no str("") between str("regular") and str("contents"). Note that str("") is exactly 8 zero bytes, while just "" is actual empty string (0 bytes).	2025-07-22 20:00:00 -04:00

John Ericson	f8c1ac9515	Introduce top-level structuredAttrs field in JSON derivation format ... Makes the behavoral change of #13263 without the underlying refactor. Hopefully this clearly safe from a perf and GC perspective, and will make it easier to benchmark #13263.	2025-06-12 20:45:47 -04:00
