Hello,

It seems the guix's go package is broken when the go tool is used for
incremental builds. Any attempt to use 'install' or 'build -i' results
in an attempt to write to the store. A one-liner:

guix environment --ad-hoc go -- bash -c 'export t=$(mktemp -d); cd
$t && export GOPATH=$(pwd) GOBIN=$(pwd)/bin && go install cmd/go; cd
&& rm -rf $t'

Another command reports that (seemingly) the entire stdlib is marked as stale:

guix environment --ad-hoc go -- bash -c 'export t=$(mktemp -d); cd
$t && export GOPATH=$(pwd) GOBIN=$(pwd)/bin && go list -f '\''{{join
.Deps "\n"}}'\'' cmd/go | xargs -n1 go list -f '\''{{if
.Stale}}{{.ImportPath}}: {{.StaleReason}}{{end}}'\''; cd && rm -rf $t'

The function for determining staleness is here (after the giant
comment explaining the reasoning):

I don't see anything wrong with the package definition, but could be
missing something. My only hunch at this point is that something might
be modifying src/runtime/internal/sys/zversion.go, as that entire file
is included in the build ID computation.

Thanks,
H

After talking on IRC, it seems like grafts are the problem. Adding
`--no-grafts` to the above commands has them succeed.

The GOROOT (store location, in this case) gets encoded in the
generated source by the 'dist' tool, so changing that is going to
cause issues.

Is there a way to disable grafts on a per-package basis, in the definition?

You can disable them on the command-line for any tool that builds
things, using the '--no-grafts' option, which is a "Common build option"
[0]. For example, `guix environment --ad-hoc go --no-grafts`.

If you do this, you should understand that the ungrafted Go package will
contain some serious security vulnerabilities, since we only use grafts
to fix vulnerabilities in core packages. [1]

We should figure out why this issue manifests when go is grafted, and
fix the root cause.

This method relies on the build ID to, which is defined like this (info
"(ld) Options"):

`--build-id'
`--build-id=STYLE'
Request the creation of a `.note.gnu.build-id' ELF note section or
a `.buildid' COFF section. The contents of the note are unique
bits identifying this linked file. STYLE can be `uuid' to use 128
random bits, `sha1' to use a 160-bit SHA1 hash on the normative
parts of the output contents, `md5' to use a 128-bit MD5 hash on
the normative parts of the output contents, or `0xHEXSTRING' to
use a chosen bit string specified as an even number of hexadecimal
digits (`-' and `:' characters between digit pairs are ignored).
If STYLE is omitted, `sha1' is used.

The `md5' and `sha1' styles produces an identifier that is always
the same in an identical output file, but will be unique among all
nonidentical output files. It is not intended to be compared as a
checksum for the file's contents. A linked file may be changed
later by other tools, but the build ID bit string identifying the
original linked file does not change.

Passing `none' for STYLE disables the setting from any
`--build-id' options earlier on the command line.

I suppose Go uses one of md5 or sha1, which is a good thing since it
allows for reproducible builds.

However, grafting breaks this, similarly to https://bugs.gnu.org/19973
since they change file contents without recomputing the build ID.

Having Go use --build-id=uuid would work around the problem, but it
would also prevent bit-reproducible builds.

Perhaps our grafting code will have to handle .note.gnu.build-id
specially.

Thoughts?

Thanks for reporting the issue,
Ludo’.

I suspect closing this bug had been forgotten. If yes, feel free to
close it. Otherwise, I do not understand what is the next actionable
step.

I don't think this bug has been fixed, although I have not checked.
Currently, Go incremental builds and library re-use is not functional in
Guix, unless I missed a new development.

Thanks. Could you provide a Go example for reproducing? Well, a
reproducer to track what could be wrong on the grafting mechanism for
Go. If I understand correctly.

I actually spent a bit of time on this today/yesterday. I modified the
go-build-system to copy the pkg and src folders from build to build
(instead of just the src folders) and the pkg folders were ignored.
Upstream documentation isn't clear about when the pkg folder is used and
when it is ignored.

One thing I did try was to set the pkgdir to (string-append (getenv
"GOROOT") "/pkg"), but then it didn't find the pkg folder from go:out. I
didn't try copying go:out/pkg to GOROOT/pkg to see if that would fix it;
I assumed that even if it did work we wouldn't want to propagate all of
go with the go packages.

What is the status of this bug? Since I am not using Go at all, it is
hard for me to have a reproducer. Is it possible to provide a
reproducer? Thanks.

What is the status of this old bug [1]? It is marked ’moreinfo’ because
it misses a reproducer to be able to act on. Therefore, I am going to
close it.

Go incremental is still not functional but is it worth to keep this
report open?

Giving the none activity of this bug and no reply about the status after
waiting a long time, I will close it if no objection.

A reproducer was given in

$t && export GOPATH=$(pwd) GOBIN=$(pwd)/bin && go install cmd/go; cd

Hi Go team,

I was reviewing the status of old bugs and I find bug#25752


Since I am not a Go user, is it possible that Go team says if this bug
