Firstly, this is now available on darwin where the default in llvm 19.
Secondly, this leads to very weird segfaults when building with newer nixpkgs for some reason.
(It's UB after all).
This appears when building with the following:
mesonComponentOverrides = finalAttrs: prevAttrs: {
mesonBuildType = "debugoptimized";
dontStrip = true;
doCheck = false;
separateDebugInfo = false;
preConfigure = (prevAttrs.preConfigure or "") + ''
case "$mesonBuildType" in
release|minsize|debugoptimized) appendToVar mesonFlags "-Db_lto=true" ;;
*) appendToVar mesonFlags "-Db_lto=false" ;;
esac
'';
};
And with the following nixpkgs input:
nix build ".#nix-cli" -L --override-input nixpkgs "https://releases.nixos.org/nixos/unstable/nixos-25.11pre870157.7df7ff7d8e00/nixexprs.tar.xz"
