Hi Bruce,
When I excuted "make -C /usr/src/kernel scripts prepare" on target
mechine, I will be asked for choicing if to enable "GCC_PLUGINS" and
other configurations depend on "GCC_PLUGINS" (The .config file didn,t
contain 'GCC_PLUGINS is not set')
But there were never be asked for these before yocto add the
configuration which is "EXTRA_OEMAKE += " HOSTCXX="${BUILD_CXX}
${BUILD_CXXFLAGS} ${BUILD_LDFLAGS}""
With these, I met a failure during compiling an external module on
target mechine after I enabled the GCC_PLUGINS and
CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_RANDSTRUCT by above methond. Failure messages as
below. There might be some other unexpected situations with GCC_PLUGIN
enabled.
In my oppinion, GCC_PLUGINS is rarely used, and It can be enable by who
want to use it. So how about disable it by defualt in
ktypes/base/base.cfg file? Do you think it is appropriate?
Regards,
Yanfei
