Also, according to the wiki [1], if we know that the project compiles successfully with Release build type with CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE=-DNDEBUG, and the same for its CXX variant, then we can safely turn on the Release build type. Currently, it seems to me it works as expected. Will confirm before pushing an update.

Also, mold does have Release build-type specific flags. [2]

Seems like upstream switched to mimalloc 3.3.2 [1], means v3. System mimalloc currently is 3.4.1.

It seems to me turning on system mimalloc would be safe? The primary reason that the official package turned off mimalloc was system mimalloc being v3, and mold requiring v2. Mold tests pass successfully with either versions. I will see if I can link a medium to big project and if it completes successfully, then push the update.

Also, it seems like you can't find the time to maintain the package, can you add me as a co-maintainer? I would love to maintain this, thanks!

Hello! Can you please change to something like this?: https://gist.github.com/asyync1024/475c6883bab9a72663a456a1ae70a1bc

I have replaced gcc-libs with libstdc++ and removed mimalloc as in the extra repo package. I have also improved formatting, it builds both in local and in clean chroot. Thanks!

why is this package flagged as out-of-date?

The pkgver should be corrected to (ver).r(revision_number).(hash) as per standards; see the wiki for more info:

The revision number delimiter ("r" right before REVISION) is important. This delimiter allows to avoid problems in case if upstream decides to make its first release or uses versions with different number of components. E.g. if at revision "455" upstream decides to release version 0.1 then the revision delimiter preserves version monotonicity - 0.1.r456 > r454. Without the delimiter monotonicity fails - 0.1.456 < 454.

see /usr/share/pacman/PKGBUILD-vcs.proto for an example:

 printf "%s" "$(git describe --long | sed 's/\([^-]*-\)g/r\1/;s/-/./g')"

Also, any custom variable (like reponame) should be prefixed with _

I can't reproduce this on my end. Compiled in a chroot and also with out chroot. No issues. Maybe it was a upstream issue and got fixed.

New problem:

99% tests passed, 1 tests failed out of 270

Total Test time (real) =  31.80 sec

The following tests did not run:
    161 - x86_64-pack-dyn-relocs-relr (Skipped)

The following tests FAILED:
    226 - x86_64-tlsdesc-static (Failed)
Errors while running CTest

Interesting: When I run the build process step by step as instructed on https://github.com/rui314/mold#compile-mold, and then run ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure on the build directory created there, the tests all pass.
