The generated assembly emitted <name>_length immediately after the raw
payload bytes, so the 32-bit word landed misaligned whenever the data
size was not a multiple of 4. Consumers declare it as a 32-bit object
(e.g. `extern const size_t <name>_length` in the ULP firmware loaders),
so the compiler emits an alignment-assuming word load, which is a
misaligned flash read prone to spurious load faults on chips with
SOC_CPU_MISALIGNED_ACCESS_ON_PMP_MISMATCH_ISSUE (ESP32-C6/H2/H21).
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".

The EXECUTABLE build property holds a CMake target name, not a filesystem
path. Under Build system v1 the target happens to be created as
"<project>.elf", so concatenating BUILD_DIR with EXECUTABLE produced a valid
elf path by coincidence. Under Build system v2 the target is just "<project>"
and the elf is written as "<project>.elf" via CMake's executable suffix, so
the same concatenation pointed gdb at a non-existent file.
Construct the path explicitly from EXECUTABLE_NAME plus the .elf suffix so
the gdbinit consumer no longer depends on the producer naming its target
after the output file.
When IDF_BUILD_V2 evaluates to a CMake-truthy value, project.cmake
delegates to Build system v2 (cmakev2). The shim wraps project(),
forwards the app-declared COMPONENTS list via __SHIM_COMPONENTS, and
publishes __V1_COMPAT_SHIM so Build system v2 internals can gate Build
system v1 compatibility behavior. Existing app CMakeLists.txt files
build unchanged.

When esp-idf-kconfig >= 3.9.0 is installed, we can use the optimized
menuconfig target without the need to preprocess the sdkconfig file by
kconfgen (removing deprecated options - menuconfig - readding deprecated
options).
Also removed unused {menuconfig_depends} from the new target.

The build system currently suffers from a bug where custom configuration
settings are lost when the component manager is invoked multiple times.
During an initial reconfigure or set-target command, the component
manager may return no managed components. Because the build system lacks
the Kconfig definitions for these components at this stage, it
automatically prunes any related configuration symbols—specifically
those defined in managed component Kconfig files—from the sdkconfig
file. By the time the component manager finishes downloading the
dependencies in a subsequent run, these original settings have already
been overwritten and discarded because they were previously unrecognized
by the build system.
To resolve this, the generation of the final sdkconfig should be
deferred until all component manager resolution cycles are complete. We
need to ensure that the build system does not treat missing Kconfig
definitions as invalid until the full dependency graph is loaded. A
potential fix involves using a temporary configuration file for
intermediate component manager passes to prevent the main sdkconfig from
being prematurely scrubbed of valid user settings that belong to
yet-to-be-resolved components.
Edit:
Added cleanup of sdkconfig.cm file and comments

When version.txt does not exist and git describe fails (e.g. in
release archives or environments without git), IDF_VER was set to
the raw git_describe output which resolves to "-128-NOTFOUND",
causing esp_get_idf_version() to return a garbled string.
Add a fallback that constructs the version string from the
IDF_VERSION_MAJOR, IDF_VERSION_MINOR and IDF_VERSION_PATCH
variables when git describe is not available.

The minimal build property is simply a shorthand for `set(COMPONENTS
main)`. The issue is that there is currently no check to verify whether
the `main` component actually exists or is known to the build system.
If the `main` component is not present, print an error message along
with suggestions on how to fix this inconsistency.

esp-idf uses imported targets as dummy targets that are never linked.
Previous CMake versions would ignore these and not error on unset
IMPORTED_LOCATION if they are never actually linked. CMake 4.2 and newer
errors during codemodel-v2 api queries when imported targets are missing
IMPORTED_LOCATION, so set a dummy location that would error when
actually linked, which fixes the error during api queries.
Closes https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/pull/18103
The MINIMAL_BUILD build property and the COMPONENTS variable are both
used to determine the initial component list for the build.
Currently, if the COMPONENTS variable is set, the MINIMAL_BUILD logic
is ignored during component selection, but the MINIMAL_BUILD build
property remains set. This leads to an inconsistent state where
menuconfig displays information indicating MINIMAL_BUILD is active,
even though it was ignored in favor of the COMPONENTS variable.
Fix this by setting the MINIMAL_BUILD property to OFF if the
COMPONENTS variable is used.

This command will allow users to resolve mismatches in default values
between sdkconfig and Kconfig according to a policy specified:
* sdkconfig: Using default values from sdkconfig (backward compatible)
* interactive: User can choose the source for every affected config
option separatedly
* kconfig: Using default values from Kconfig
This change improves build consistency across external projects integrated
through CMake by ensuring that compiler flags defined in configuration files
are passed correctly to the toolchain. It covers the majority of use cases,
as external projects are typically also CMake-based. For projects that use
a custom build system, users will still need to specify the required flags
manually.
The build system keeps track of each component source. Currently
there are four types of sources:
1. "project_components" - project components
2. "project_extra_components" - components from EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS
3. "project_managed_components" - custom project dependencies managed by the IDF Component Manager
4. "idf_components" - ESP-IDF built-in components, typically under /components
This can be used to identify the component libraries that are likely to
change during application development and pass them to ldgen as mutable
libraries. Add all components with "project_components" as their source
as mutable.

Currently, the toolchain CMake files use the remove_duplicated_flags
function from utilities.cmake. The cmakev2 implementation also includes
this function for backward compatibility. Move the
remove_duplicated_flags function to a separate file,
deduplicate_flags.cmake, so it can be shared between cmakev1 and
cmakev2.

The toolchain files are using the remove_duplicated_flags function from
utilities.cmake. However, we want to avoid mixing utilities from cmakev1
and cmakev2. Use `IDF_BUILD_VER_TAG` to include utilities from the
currently used build system version.

Graphviz node ID's are represented as strings, that can only use a
restricted set of characters (characters, digits, and underscores), and
must not match a reserved keyword. These restrictions do not apply when
the string is wrapped in double quotes. This allows for component names
with dashes in them, for example.
