Compiling with -stdlib=libc++ throws two specific errors (in several places), namely: '__throw_length_error' and '__throw_out_of_range' 'is ambiguous'.

To reproduce, set clang as the compiler and add the flag to CXXFLAGS:

prepare() {
  export RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN=$_rustver
  rustup default $_rustver
  mkdir -p mozbuild

  rm -rf $pkgname-$pkgver
  mv firefox-mullvad-browser-* $pkgname-$pkgver
  cd $pkgname-$pkgver

  cat >../mozconfig <<END
export MOZ_APP_REMOTINGNAME=${pkgname//-/}

export CC=clang
export CXX=clang++
export LD=""
export NM="llvm-nm"

export CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -stdlib=libc++ --rtlib=compiler-rt -Wp,-D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS"
export LDFLAGS="-lc++abi -lunwind -unwind=libunwind -Wl,-O3,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,-z,now"
. . . (rest of file)

(I had more flags but they shouldn't be relevant to the issue)

Where am I supposed to get the gpg key from?

There's no key file included and my attempts at finding the required key via keyservers isn't producing any results.

EDIT: Nevermind, found it: hkps://keys.openpgp.org

Build fails even if I build with chroot. Is this a bug?

@SashexSRB Something using a lot of memory is not a "memory leak". LTO just takes a lot of memory. I don't know your system specs, but it's normal to take over 16 GB of RAM and max out a decent CPU. You also shouldn't be doing other things on your computer (e.g. using a web browser) when compiling browsers.

Package has a memory leak on my end when compiling. It maxes out my RAM and PC becomes unresponsive.

pending https://github.com/mullvad/mullvad-browser/issues/94 to move further, as the sources can't be patched directly

@tarball I've been working on the build locally, but I wasn't able to figure out how you found the tarball url. I tried updating to the current release (12.0.6) and updating the URL based on the branch name here but it seems like https://cdn.mullvad.net/browser/12.0.6/src-firefox-mullvad-browser-102.11.0esr-12.5-1-build1.tar.xz doesn't exist. Where did you get the link?

EDIT: I missed the note in the readme, got the right branch now.

To potential users: this needs further work, which I don't have time for right now. It's missing some customizations, and has a unique fingerprint — you will be easier to track compared to the official build (which is provided by mullvad-browser-bin).

For more information, see this comment: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mullvad-browser-bin#comment-911414

If anyone is willing to properly maintain this, I will hand over the package. I'd rather focus on the official build.
