ldgen skips regeneration when a fingerprint over the section names, the
linker fragment files, sdkconfig and Kconfig is unchanged. The linker
script template was not part of that fingerprint, even though everything
outside its mapping placeholders is copied into the generated script
verbatim.
The build system regenerates the preprocessed template whenever any of
its inputs changes, not only when a linker fragment changes. When such a
change reaches ldgen but leaves the section names alone, the fingerprint
still matches, generation is skipped, and the image is linked against the
previously generated script. The skip path updates the mtime of the
output, so nothing in the build output shows that the change was dropped.
Add the template to the fingerprint so that regenerating it always
regenerates the linker script.

Trim bootloader size by moving some logs to DEBUG. Allows
compiling bootloader on P4 with CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHMODE_QIO
without changing partition table offset
On some Windows systems, antivirus, endpoint-security or DLP/encryption
software intercepts short-lived toolchain processes and strips their
stdout when the build captures it through a pipe, while the same command
prints its output normally when run by hand. The tool exits successfully
but returns nothing, and each build step that reads toolchain output then
failed with a different, cryptic error far from the real cause:
- CMake configuration aborted with "Unknown arguments specified" in
components/xtensa/project_include.cmake, or "check_expected_tool_version
invoked with incorrect arguments" in components/esp_common.
- ldgen turned the empty objdump output into an opaque pyparsing
"Expected 'In archive'" traceback.
- idf_tools.py silently reported the compiler/debugger version as
"unknown", sending users into a fruitless reinstall loop.
Detect the empty result at each consumer and fail (or warn) with an
actionable message that names the likely cause and the remedy:
- tools/cmake/compiler_query.cmake: new __compiler_query() helper runs a
compiler query and fails with a clear error on empty or failed output.
It is a standalone module included by both the cmakev1 and cmakev2
utilities, since the esp_common and xtensa project_include.cmake that
call it are shared by both build systems. The xtensa if() arguments are
now quoted so an empty result no longer collapses into a parse error.
- tools/ldgen/ldgen.py: _run_objdump() rejects empty objdump output, and
non-empty-but-unparsable section info is caught and re-raised as a clear
LdGenFailure instead of a raw pyparsing traceback.
- tools/idf_tools.py: empty version output now warns with the cause and
returns UNKNOWN_VERSION instead of silently reporting "unknown".

FastMCP was renamed to MCPServer in mcp 2.0, which made idf.py mcp-server
report a false "MCP dependencies not available" error. Prefer MCPServer
and keep a FastMCP fallback for mcp 1.x.

idf_build_library() captured the LINK_OPTIONS build property before including
the components, so a link option a component appended while it was processed was
dropped from the executable link. Read the property as a generator expression so
these options are included.
This file predates the adoption of ruff-format and was never reformatted,
because pre-commit only runs on the files touched by a change. GitHub PR
#18871 bumps the copyright year here, which pulls the file into the hook's
scope and makes check_pre_commit fail on a pre-existing formatting
violation unrelated to that change.

Legacy ulp_embed_binary() call-site sources were attached directly to the CMake v2 child executable. However, the ULP runtime is linked with WHOLE_ARCHIVE through target_link_options(), which CMake emits before executable objects. This reversed the CMake v1 order, changed ULP code placement, and allowed runtime weak definitions to take precedence over legacy strong handlers.
Build the call-site sources as a dedicated static archive and place its whole-archive option before the runtime archive. Preserve the parent sdkconfig and include view, including FSM-specific include behavior, without generating a synthetic component tree.
Factor linker-specific whole-archive handling into a shared CMake v2 helper for GNU, Darwin, and ULP FSM linkers. Link the archive target normally as well so CMake tracks build and relink dependencies when a legacy ULP source changes.
Add test apps for binary size tracking:
- esp_timer size_metrics app with minimal/full sdkconfig variants
- minimal_baseline app to establish the platform binary size floor
Rename the internal ULP child-build marker to __ULP_BUILDV2 so component CMake files make the build-system scope explicit.
Document that the marker is currently set only by the IDF_BUILD_V2 ULP child path.
Route ulp_embed_binary() through a built-in CMake v2 default ULP project instead of generating a compatibility project with a synthetic main component.
Attach legacy ULP sources directly to the ULP executable, pass the parent component include view through the existing ULP_S_SOURCES/COMPONENT_* channel, and remove the generated legacy project templates plus the component path ownership validation bypass they required.
Update the build-system coverage to assert that the builtin child project builds and rebuilds when parent-owned ULP sources change.
Allow the reconfigure test to assert the buildv2 activation message when pytest runs with --buildv2.
Make the ULP API probe use CMake-friendly forward-slash paths and an explicit ULP toolchain/custom-toolchain setting so the direct cmake configure works on Windows as well as Linux.
Preserve all linker scripts passed to target_linker_script() so LP-core child builds keep the full esp32p4 LP ROM script set instead of only the first script.
Link the ULP runtime component as WHOLE_ARCHIVE for ULP child builds, matching the legacy helper behavior where runtime sources were added directly to the executable. This keeps strong runtime handlers such as ulp_lp_core_panic_handler from being skipped in favor of weak defaults from already-extracted archive objects.
Validated with the esp32p4 lp_core_hp_uart panic and LP-ROM pytest cases, plus the focused local/CI build_all shape for the app.
idf-ci emits a skip pipeline containing only a fake_pass job, with no
include of test_child_pipeline.yml, when the modified files match no
buildable apps. patch_buildv2_child_pipeline.py redefined
generate_pytest_child_pipeline unconditionally, assuming the included
template supplied its tags, image and assign_test stage via keyword
merge. With the template absent, the injected job was bare: no tags,
default test stage. It was scheduled on the wrong runner and failed,
turning the allow_failure build_child_pipeline_buildv2 bridge red on
every buildv2 MR whose changes produce an empty app matrix.
Return early when a fake_pass job is present so the child pipeline is
left untouched and skips, matching the default build path. Add a unit
test for the patch script and a host_test job to run it.
Move 7 trace-related examples (app_trace_basic, app_trace_to_plot,
esp_trace_custom_library, function_tracing, gcov, sysview_tracing,
sysview_tracing_heap_log) from examples/system/ into a dedicated
examples/system/tracing/ subdirectory for better organization.
Update all path references across documentation (en + zh_CN),
build-test-rules, CI configs, Kconfig, and component READMEs.
libstdc++ selects between a lock-free and a mutex-based policy for
std::shared_ptr reference counting based on this macro. Enabling this
option forces the lock-free policy, which avoids pulling in the
mutex-based implementation and can reduce code size.
Note: the lock-free policy avoids embedding a mutex in each control
block, saving about 88 bytes per shared_ptr, and improves performance
by using atomic operations instead of mutex locking.
Note: this option changes the ABI of libstdc++ atomic/shared_ptr
helpers. It can be incompatible when linking against prebuilt
libraries that were compiled without it, leading to link errors or
undefined runtime behavior. Only enable it if all C++ objects and
libraries in the build use the same setting.
