For most formulae, the bottles need a minimum libstdc++ rather than a
minimum GCC version. This is particularly important when building on
Ubuntu where the default compiler version is older than libstdc++.
So, checking the host libstdc++ version is a more accurate way to
determine whether brew GCC is needed at runtime. This can be improved in
the future to check symbol versions (e.g. GLIBCXX, CXXABI, GLIBC) which
can allow some bottles to be installed even with older glibc/libstdc++.
This is the pattern we've been adopting for a while and it's a bit
cleaner. Let's remove all of the existing usage of the existing pattern
to avoid confusion when adopting the new one.
Update both the variables that dictate this and the documents that
explain our GCC/glibc policies.
These should ease a future migration to a newer GCC version.
- Previously I thought that comments were fine to discourage people from
wasting their time trying to bump things that used `undef` that Sorbet
didn't support. But RuboCop is better at this since it'll complain if
the comments are unnecessary.
- Suggested in https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/pull/18018#issuecomment-2283369501.
- I've gone for a mixture of `rubocop:disable` for the files that can't
be `typed: strict` (use of undef, required before everything else, etc)
and `rubocop:todo` for everything else that should be tried to make
strictly typed. There's no functional difference between the two as
`rubocop:todo` is `rubocop:disable` with a different name.
- And I entirely disabled the cop for the docs/ directory since
`typed: strict` isn't going to gain us anything for some Markdown
linting config files.
- This means that now it's easier to track what needs to be done rather
than relying on checklists of files in our big Sorbet issue:
```shell
$ git grep 'typed: true # rubocop:todo Sorbet/StrictSigil' | wc -l
268
```
- And this is confirmed working for new files:
```shell
$ git status
On branch use-rubocop-for-sorbet-strict-sigils
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
Library/Homebrew/bad.rb
Library/Homebrew/good.rb
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
$ brew style
Offenses:
bad.rb:1:1: C: Sorbet/StrictSigil: Sorbet sigil should be at least strict got true.
