Subject: [PATCH v2 02/18] tools build: Integrate libdebuginfod into test-all fast path
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 10:46:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260512174638.120445-3-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260512174638.120445-1-irogers@google.com>
Bundling libdebuginfod into test-all.c allows Make to avoid an individual
feature check sub-make fork during AST parsing. Short-circuit feature_check
in Makefile.feature to instantly skip sub-make evaluations when a feature
was already pre-detected by test-all.
Trade-offs:
On some Linux distributions (e.g., Debian/Ubuntu), libdebuginfod-dev is
packaged separately from libelf-dev and libdw-dev. If a user installs
libdw-dev but omits libdebuginfod-dev, adding -ldebuginfod to BUILD_ALL
causes test-all to fail, falling back to individual feature tests. However,
on fully configured developer workstations, this successfully reclaims
sequential startup latency.
