This option tells the linker to only link to the libraries containing
symbols that are actually used.
It requires libtool patches to fully clean the needed chain, these are
used by major distributions such as Debian and Gentoo.
https://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/As-needed
Introduce a BR2_AS_NEEDED global enable option (default=no, marked as
experimental) that generally disables the libtool patching and avoids
the extra LDFLAGS (-Wl,--as-needed).
Also add a per-package PACKAGE_AS_NEEDED (default=yes) option to work
around problematic packages that might not behave too well with
as-needed linking.
For the libtool patching use a guess (automatic) method since
version-matching doesn't work accurately with some packages that ship
patched/modified ltmain.sh scripts, normally based on 2.4. In some of
these cases the as-needed-v2.2.6.patch works, and in other cases the
as-needed-v2.4.2.patch is necessary and the exact condition can't be
found in a deterministic way. If for some reason none of the patches
applies to a particular package this will only affect said package and
shouldn't have any consequence even if passing -Wl,--as-needed LDFLAGS.
Example for a simple defconfig:
BR2_arm=y
BR2_AS_NEEDED=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_PACKAGE_GSTREAMER1=y
BR2_PACKAGE_GST1_PLUGINS_BAD=y
With as-needed disabled:
$ readelf -a libgstbadvideo-1.0.so|grep "(NEEDED)"|wc -l
10
With as-needed enabled:
$ readelf -a libgstbadvideo-1.0.so|grep "(NEEDED)"|wc -l
8

OK, I read both of the above, and I do understand the technicalities
behind --as-needed.
However, I fail to see what it would bring to Buidlroot.
One key point of --as-needed is to not pull in an unneeded library into
an executable, in case it does not need it, especially in the case that
this library is a second-order depedency by way of another library,
e.g.:
foo:
NEEDED: libbar.so
NEEDED: libbuz.so
libbar.so:
NEEDED: libbuz.so
but where foo does not use any symbol from libbuz.so. This purportedly
allows to update second-order libraries (libbuz, above) when there is
an ABI change in those libs, and only have to rebuild first-order libs
(libbar, above) without to rebuild the executable itself.
Another key point is that the dynamic loader will not have to load
unncessary libraries,thus reducing startup time.
However, I fail to see how that can be any usefull in the context of
Buildroot.
First, we do not support partial updates, and only catter to full-system
updates. Thus the first point is moot IMHO.
Second, the default behaviour of the dynamic linker is to do lazy
binding, i.e. to only resolve sumbols at the time they are first needed,
and thus only loading libraries to resolve a missing symbol (unless I'm
mistaken...)
So, what would that bring to us?

Yann E. MORIN.

Hi Yann.
Indeed this is not the point of the new option.

But this is.

Agreed.

Yes, that's what lazy binding does... but it's still based on DT_NEEDED
entries, hence instead of scanning 10 libraries at required time in my
example it will only need to scan 8 to resolve required symbols.
For more complex applications that use many nested libraries the savings
can be bigger.
Example diff between non-as-needed gst-launch-1.0 and as-needed version:
libgstreamer-1.0.so.0
libgobject-2.0.so.0
-libgmodule-2.0.so.0
libglib-2.0.so.0
-librt.so.1
-libdl.so.2
libgcc_s.so.1
libpthread.so.0
libc.so.6
Most of the time even with lazy bindings any given binary will need to
resolve symbols unless we are building statically.
Regards.

Just like Yann, I don't understand the usefulness of --as-needed
support. If a library A is not using symbols from a library B it is
linked against, why is library A linked against library B in the first
place ?
The way you present it makes me understand that --as-needed is a
workaround for broken package build systems, which end up producing
binaries (programs or libraries) incorrect linked to too many
libraries, that are in fact not all needed.
In addition to this, it is not really clear what are the benefits of
having less NEEDED entries (i.e practical number of performance
improvements). Since the complexity is quite huge for something that 1/
looks like a workaround and 2/ isn't associated to concrete performance
improvements, I don't think we want to merge this at this point.
Of course, feel free to come back with some more details on why
--as-needed is useful (why it's not a workaround, and prove it's really
useful in practice).
Thanks a lot,
Thomas

So what is E.G. the time differences when running
time gst-launch-1.0 fakesrc num-buffers=1 ! fakesink
on a "normal" machine with/without these patches?
(Notice that gstreamer searches plugins and creates cache file first
time it is run).
