invalid options persist in fragments

[tpetazzoni]

I'm not sure I see this happening. In preparation for a 2023.08 toolchain release, I did a test build of all toolchains, and the fragment generated for the arcle-hs38 toolchain looks like this:

BR2_arcle=y
BR2_archs38=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CUSTOM=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_DOWNLOAD=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_URL="http://toolchains.bootlin.com/downloads/test-2023.08/toolchains/arcle-hs38/tarballs/arcle-hs38--uclibc--bleeding-edge-2023.08-test1.tar.bz2"
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_GCC_13=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_HEADERS_5_10=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_LOCALE=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CXX=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_FORTRAN=y
# BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_DLANG is not set
# BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_OPENMP is not set
# BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_HAS_SSP is not set
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_HAS_THREADS=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_HAS_THREADS_NPTL=y
# BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_INET_RPC is not set
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CUSTOM_UCLIBC=y

Which correctly as OpenMP flagged as not available.

Could you provide more details? Or maybe I misunderstood the issue?

@tpetazzoni Sure, here's what i see on master:

If i add a similar snippet to check for rejects like in check_config:

We see OPENMP being saved in the fragment but it should not be. Similarly, GDB is not supported per:

config BR2_PACKAGE_GDB_ARCH_SUPPORTS
	bool
	default y
	depends on !((BR2_arm || BR2_armeb) && BR2_BINFMT_FLAT)
	depends on !BR2_microblaze

[vfazio]

savedefconfig is probably not what you want, obviously, but something like it, to prune out rejected symbols

[tpetazzoni]

I see, but that does not cause any problem. Those unsupported features get dropped during the build. The final "build fragment" that is saved for example at https://toolchains.bootlin.com/downloads/releases/toolchains/microblazeel/build_fragments/microblazeel--glibc--bleeding-edge-2023.08-1.defconfig doesn't have those unsupported options.

[vfazio]

Ok, so long as there's no functional issue in the actual released fragments, then i'll close this issue. i just noticed it while reviewing the code for another issue.

sorry for the noise
