1. Hello World application shows no footprint difference before and
after this change
2. examples/ethernet/ethernet application compiles properly (can't
test with my board)
This is no longer required since the functions automatically get
pulled in based on the usage. A quick summary of footprint
comparisions before and after these set of patches is shown below:
Hello-World: (simplified for readability)
old Total image size:~ 104902 bytes (.bin may be padded larger)
old Total image size:~ 105254 bytes (.bin may be padded larger)
Per-archive contributions to ELF file:
Archive File DRAM .data & .bss IRAM Flash code & rodata Total
old libesp32.a 1973 177 4445 3939 2267 12801
new libesp32.a 1973 185 4473 3939 2267 12837
new libnvs_flash.a 0 92 0 274 8 374
new libstdc++.a 0 0 0 24 0 24
For some reason, nvs_flash.a (~400bytes) gets pulled in (particularly
the nvs_flash_init() function).
Power-Save: (simplified for readability)
old Total image size:~ 421347 bytes (.bin may be padded larger)
old Total image size:~ 421235 bytes (.bin may be padded larger)
old libtcpip_adapter.a 0 81 0 1947 115 2143
new libtcpip_adapter.a 0 69 0 1897 115 2081
The size actually shrinks a bit, since the AP interface function
doesn't get pulled in.
Since only the used interface's start function gets called, it pulls
in only the functions that are required in the current application,
thereby saving footprint.
Restart being a lower-layer system-level function, needn't depend on
the higher level Wi-Fi libraries.
This also enables us to get rid of one more WIFI_ENABLED ifdef check
