cgo: C compiler "2022-06-09"
I think gomobile picks up the C compiler from running xcrun --find clang
, and that command on darwin/arm64 can sometimes contains bogus logging output starting with the date and time. That probably confuses gomobile.
Could you try running that command again, maybe twice?
gomobile should probably be more resilient on that. Maybe it should only use stdout of xcrun
, not stderr

I plan to upgrade to Xcode 14 soon so that it may be possible for me to take a look.
I tried to run the command several times yesterday, but the result was always the same. I'm unfamiliar with golang, but the error message "exec: 2022-06-09 not found" seemed suspicious. I thought it could be some kind of parsing issue.
I'm not sure if the problem is caused by parsing the result of xcrun --find clang
, which gives the following output:
with Xcode 13.4.1 (13F100):
$ xcrun --find clang
/Applications/Xcode-13.4.1.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang
with Xcode 14 (14A5228q):
$ xcrun --find clang
/Applications/Xcode-14.0.0-Beta.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang
However, I rerun the command today, and... it works! Still, I believe there is a bug hiding somewhere, as the problem was probably caused by the given date when the command was run (2022-06-09). Thankfully today (2022-06-10) it works fine :-)
I plan to upgrade to Xcode 14 soon so that it may be possible for me to take a look.
I'm afraid you'll need to go back in time to reproduce ;-)
On my mac M1 machine, it sometimes print messages like
2022-06-07 22:25:25.471 xcodebuild[8405:27734] Requested but did not find extension point with identifier Xcode.IDEKit.ExtensionSentinelHostApplications for extension Xcode.DebuggerFoundation.AppExtensionHosts.watchOS of plug-in com.apple.dt.IDEWatchSupportCore
2022-06-07 22:25:25.471 xcodebuild[8405:27734] Requested but did not find extension point with identifier Xcode.IDEKit.ExtensionPointIdentifierToBundleIdentifier for extension Xcode.DebuggerFoundation.AppExtensionToBundleIdentifierMap.watchOS of plug-in com.apple.dt.IDEWatchSupportCore
It doesn't always print that. In my experience it is more likely to print if it is the first time to use such commands in a while. And the second and subsequent runs just behave normally, without the extra output.
Maybe it will print if you restart the machine and run that command immediately.
I have also experienced this issue with the following messages:
% xcrun --find clang

These warnings appear to be included in stdout
instead of stderr
, and hence they affect how the path is parsed.
I have currently no idea how to fix those warnings.
A proper fix would probably involve parsing and matching all lines with a regex.
The issue appears to be coming from envClang()
function:
func envClang(sdkName string) (clang, cflags string, err error) {
if buildN {
return sdkName + "-clang", "-isysroot " + sdkName, nil
}
cmd := exec.Command("xcrun", "--sdk", sdkName, "--find", "clang")
out, err := cmd.CombinedOutput()
if err != nil {
return "", "", fmt.Errorf("xcrun --find: %v\n%s", err, out)
}
clang = strings.TrimSpace(string(out))
Which does indeed seem to call xcrun --find clang
and accepts the output from cmd.CombinedOutput()
indiscriminately.
Based on my tests this appears to only happen on the first try:

After host reboot it resets and those log messages show up again.
According to this discussion: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/703233 The fix is:
Remove CommandLineTools
sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
Reinstall CommandLineTools
xcode-select --install
Select CommandLineTools
sudo xcode-select -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
But I tried reinstalling Command Line Tools or installing newer than 13.3.1
- in my case 13.4
- and the message is still there.
Honestly some input validation could be added to envClang
.
Small update from my side:
Not sure what changed, but now I'm able to run gomobile bind
with the following configuration:
No more "cgo: C compiler" errors occurs when running gomobile bind
. It binds successfully, however, the produced xcframework is not usable. When trying to build iOS or macOS application that uses the framework, I get this error:
Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:
"_objc_msgSend$initWithObject:", referenced from:
-[RefTracker assignRefnumAndIncRefcount:] in Bindings(000007.o)
"_objc_msgSend$setObject:forKeyedSubscript:", referenced from:
-[RefTracker assignRefnumAndIncRefcount:] in Bindings(000007.o)
"_objc_msgSend$intValue", referenced from:
...
I truncated it because it just lists all functions and methods that gomobile exposes from go to Objective-C.
When creating the same xcframework with Xcode 13.4.1, everything works fine, without any issues.
UPDATE: Because the above problem is probably not related to the original one (with gomobile bing
failed to run). I created a new issue for it: #55028
UPDATE: There was something messed up with my local environment. I reinstalled golang and can't reproduce the issue anymore. Sorry for the confusion.
I can now use gomobile bind
without any issues on the following setup:
gomobile
Not sure what resolved the original issue I reported here, but I think we can now close it.
@darrarski please do not close this, this is a valid issue I'm fixing in:

Oh, OK, sorry for that. Will keep an eye on the progress, but like I said - it works now for me with latest Xcode and gomobile. Thanks a lot for all your precious time and effort!
We're hitting a variation of this issue as well:

make: *** [MobileNebula.xcframework] Error 1
We were able to stop the warnings in the meantime with:
unexport SWIFT_DEBUG_INFORMATION_VERSION
unexport SWIFT_DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT
We believe these environment variables are set by Xcode.
The warnings are emitted when running gomobile with the environment variables set, and no flags:
❯ SWIFT_DEBUG_INFORMATION_VERSION="hi john" gomobile >/dev/null
Warning: unknown environment variable SWIFT_DEBUG_INFORMATION_VERSION
Gomobile is a tool for building and running mobile apps written in Go.
...snip...
This comes from xcrun:
❯ SWIFT_DEBUG_INFORMATION_VERSION="hi john" xcrun --find clang
Warning: unknown environment variable SWIFT_DEBUG_INFORMATION_VERSION
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang
The fix in https://github.com/golang/mobile/pull/84 looks like it would solve our problem.
I don' think anyone cares. I've submitted a fix for this 2 years ago and nobody has even reviewed it:
We just apply a patch to this tool at build time through Nix, because this will probably never get merged: https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/blob/cfd30e0d2401bd61a519eba5d9f467b23120f721/nix/overlay.nix#L68-L71
@jakubgs
These warnings appear to be included in stdout instead of stderr, and hence they affect how the path is parsed.
How did you check this? What was the result of xcrun --find clang > /tmp/out
and cat /tmp/out
?
In my own testing, xcrun appears to print warnings to stderr, yet they interfere with the gomobile build anyway:
❯ SWIFT_DEBUG_INFORMATION_VERSION="hi john" xcrun --find clang >/dev/null
Warning: unknown environment variable SWIFT_DEBUG_INFORMATION_VERSION
❯ SWIFT_DEBUG_INFORMATION_VERSION="hi john" xcrun --find clang >/dev/null
I cannot distinguish whether xcrun
output that warning or not from the command... What was the result of xcrun --find clang > /tmp/out
and cat /tmp/out
?
@hajimehoshi >/dev/null
redirects stdout to /dev/null. That means the only thing printed is stderr.
❯ SWIFT_DEBUG_INFORMATION_VERSION="hi john" xcrun --find clang >/tmp/out
Warning: unknown environment variable SWIFT_DEBUG_INFORMATION_VERSION
❯ cat /tmp/out

Do you understand?
I do not have this issue:

I have a related issue, per my original comment https://github.com/golang/go/issues/53316#issuecomment-2407626810 which is also fixed by the linked PR.
@johnmaguire So, as you already said, the warning at https://github.com/golang/go/issues/53316#issuecomment-1239392434 was not output, which means you have not reproduced the case.

By the way, I cannot reproduce the issue either, so I cannot test this.

My intuition is that just replacing CombinedOutput
with Output
should fix the issue instead of adding a filtering function, so I would like to check whether the warning was really output to stdout, not stderr @jakubgs
@hajimehoshi I apologize - I did not read the linked PR (only the title) and I understand the confusion now. I agree that replacing CombinedOutput
with Output
is a much cleaner fix for my issue.
@jakubgs will need to test the command you suggested, as I cannot reproduce the messages he is seeing.
I think that depends on Xcode version and other factors.
jakubgs@macm1-01.ih-eu-mda1.ci.devel:~ % SWIFT_DEBUG_INFORMATION_VERSION="hi john" xcrun --find clang >/dev/null
Warning: unknown environment variable SWIFT_DEBUG_INFORMATION_VERSION

You cannot expect Apple to be consistent. My fix is still necessary I think, as Apple is a garbage company.
@jakubgs So would it be possible to reproduce the debug message 2022-09-07 14:27:45.757 xcodebuild[6265:9851879] Requested but did not find extension point with identifier Xcode.IDEKit.ExtensionSentinelHostApplications for extension Xcode.DebuggerFoundation.AppExtensionHosts.watchOS of plug-in com.apple.dt.IDEWatchSupportCore ...
output to stdout, not stderr?
As I said, it's xcode version dependent.
So we can no longer confirm the debug message was really output to stdout, not stderr.
I'm very skeptical about this (the debug message was output to stdout). We should go with replacing CombinedOutput
with Output
instead of a filtering function in your CL.
The issue is clear. We had this problem, which is why we applied the patch which has fixed the issue: https://github.com/status-im/status-mobile/blob/cfd30e0d2401bd61a519eba5d9f467b23120f721/nix/overlay.nix#L68-L71
You can see the error we got here:

And the details in the issue and in the PR:
As we can see Apple is garbage and their tools spew nonsense into stdout
. This has happened in the past and will happen again in the future. If you refuse to fix this then that's your problem. We use Nix so we can patch this ourselves without problems, but others might not be as lucky.
As we can see Apple is garbage and their tools spew nonsense into stdout.
As I said, I'm very skeptical about this assumption. I don't think the tool output the warning/debug messages to stdout.
It does. We fixed it with the patch I've linked. You can't deny it, you can just call me a liar. Have fun maintaining software this way.
It does.
But we cannot reproduce that, right?
You can, just get an older Xcode version. And probably a matching OSX.
You can't deny it, you can just call me a liar. Have fun maintaining software this way.
I'm just pointing out that you might be misunderstanding. From the comments https://github.com/golang/go/issues/53316#issuecomment-1239392434 and https://github.com/golang/go/issues/53316#issuecomment-1239398184, the stdout and stderr seemed to be mixed so we cannot say the debug message was really output to stdout.
I'm fine to help you if we go with replacing CombinedOutput
with Output
. If you don't want, I'll make my CL to close this issue.
I have no interest nor time to reproduce this for you. As I said, we patched it thanks to Nix being amazing.
The issue is real and will show up again, whether with older or newer combinations of Xcode and OSX. I would not close it if I were you, but you do you.
Sure, I'll do :-)
