bug#49350: gcc-toolchain compilation error with -nostdinc++

[Ontje Lünsdorf via Bug reports for GNU Guix]

Hi all,


I've problems compiling LLVM manually with the gcc-toolchain.
sanitizer_posix_libcdep.cpp is build with -nostdinc++ and fails to find
bits/c++config.h.

I think the issue can be reproduced with this example test.cpp:

#include <stdlib.h>
int main() { return 0; }

c++ from archlinux compiles that file, while c++ from gcc-toolchain doesn't:

$ c++ -nostdinc++ test.cpp
$ guix environment --ad-hoc gcc-toolchain -- c++ -nostdinc++ test.cpp
In file included from /gnu/store/nh9r04xhzmbk3hjsj92yhlhmjsp521g4-profile/include/c++/stdlib.h:36,
                 from test.cpp:1:
/gnu/store/nh9r04xhzmbk3hjsj92yhlhmjsp521g4-profile/include/c++/cstdlib:41:10: fatal error: bits/c++config.h: No such file or directory
   41 | #include <bits/c++config.h>
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

Is this expected and I'm doing something wrong?

Thanks & best regards,
Ontje

I am able to repro with this test case on Guix System, both in and
outside of a guix environment --pure.

The issue seems to be with the (automatically set by Guix)
CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH environment variable. The following works as
expected:

  guix environment --pure --ad-hoc gcc-toolchain -- CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH= c++ -nostdinc++ test.cpp

It seems that -nostdinc++ controls whether GCC decides to add the C++
std include paths internally, but it still looks in the paths indicated
by CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH. Guix sets CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH and friends because
there is no system-wide /include. I'm not sure how expected this
specific behavior is, though...

Hope that helps,
