GCC48_ALL_CC_FLAGS has no dependency on GCC_ALL_CC_FLAGS.
By definition, there should be such dependency.
The outcomes of this patch is that GCC48_ALL_CC_FLAGS and
other dependent configurations will inherit from the
additional "-Os" flag.
The "-Os" flag optimizes a build in size, not breaking any
build. In a gcc command line, the last optimization flag
has precedence. This means that this "-Os" flag will be
overriden by a more specific optimization configuration,
provided that this more specific flag is appended at the
end of the CC_FLAGS.

By default, gcc allows void* pointer arithmetic.
This is a GCC extension.
However:
- the C reference manual states that void*
pointer "cannot be operands of addition
or subtraction operators". Cf s5.3.1
"Generic Pointers";
- Visual studio compiler treat such operation as
an error.
To prevent such pointer arithmetic, the "-Wpointer-arith"
flag should be set for all GCC versions.
The "-Wpointer-arith" allows to:
"Warn about anything that depends on the "size of"
a function type or of void. GNU C assigns these
types a size of 1, for convenience in calculations
with void * pointers and pointers to functions."
This flag is available since GCC2.95.3 which came out in 2001.

SetupGit.py sets the git config option diff.orderFile to
{edk2 directory}/BaseTools/Conf/diff.order, to override the default order
in which files are shown in a diff/patch/whatever. This is in imitation
of what is done manually in Laszlo's Unkempt Guide.
However, the version currently in the tree is in CRLF format, which makes
git interpret e.g. *.c as matching on *.c<CR>, finding no matches and
failing to apply the desired reordering. Note: this is true regardless of
whether running on Linux or Windows.
Convert the file to LF-only to make it work as expected.

The AmlToHex script and Posix/WindowsLike wrappers convert
an AML file to a .hex file, containing a C array storing
AML bytecode. This ".hex" file can then be included in a
C file, allowing to access the AML bytecode from this C
file.
The EDK2 build system doesn't allow to a depict dependency
orders between files of different languages. For instance,
in a module containing a ".c" file and a ".asl", the ".c"
file may or may not be built prior to the ".asl" file.
This prevents any inclusion of a generated ".hex" in a
".c" file since this later ".hex" file may or may not
have been created yet.
This patch modifies the AmlToC script to generate a C file
instead of a ".hex" file.
It also adds the generation of an intermediate ".amli" file
when compiling an ASL file, and adds a rule to convert this
".amli" to a C file.
This allows to generate a C file containing the AML bytecode
from an ASL file. This C file will then be handled by the EDK2
build system to generate an object file.
Thus, no file inclusion will be required anymore. The C file
requiring the AML bytecode as a C array, and the ASL file,
will be compiled independently. The C array must be defined
as an external symbol. The linker is resolving the
reference to the C array symbol.
To summarize, the flow goes as:
-1. ASL file is compiled to AML;
-2. AML file is copied to a ".amli" intermediate file;
-3. EDK2 build system applies the rule relevant to ".amli"
files. This is, calling the "AmlToC" script, generating
a C file from the ".amli" file;
-4. EDK2 build system applies the rule relevant to C files.
This is creating an object file.
-5. EDK2 build system links the object file containing the
AML bytecode with the object file requiring it.

The "--function-context" ("-W") option of git-diff displays the entire
body of a modified function, not just small modified hunks within the
function. It is useful for reviewers when the code changes to the function
are small, but they could affect, or depend on, control flow that is far
away in the same function.
Of course, the size of the displayed context can be controlled with the
"-U" option anyway, but such fixed-size contexts are usually either too
small, or too large, in the above scenario.
It turns out that "--function-context" does not work correctly for C
source files in edk2. In particular, labels for the goto instruction
(which the edk2 coding style places in the leftmost column) appear to
terminate "--function-context".
The "git" utility contains built-in hunk header patterns for the C and C++
languages. However, they do not take effect in edk2 because we don't
explicitly assign the "cpp" git-diff driver to our C files. The
gitattributes(5) manual explains that this is required:
> There are a few built-in patterns to make this easier, and
> tex is one of them, so you do not have to write the above in
> your configuration file (you still need to enable this with
> the attribute mechanism, via .gitattributes). The following

The key statement is the one in parentheses.
Grab the suffix lists from the [C-Code-File] and [Acpi-Table-Code-File]
sections of "BaseTools/Conf/build_rule.template", add "*.h" and "*.H", and
mark those as belonging to the "cpp" git-diff driver.

For windows compiler cache (clcache) enabling, we need update

which is to let the C object file contain its full symbolic
debugging information rather than produces a separated PDB file

cl completes a compilation or linking operation. One huge problem
with caching them is that the pdb files are input files as well as
outputs. mspdbsrv updates the file with new debug information if
the file exists beforehand. If there are several compilations going
on at once targetting the same pdb then the order the pdb gets
updated is unpredictable. All this makes caching very hard."

built with the GCC44 toolchain, relative to LzmaCompress.
This statement doesn't apply to the GCC48 toolchain. I compressed 126
NOOPT_GCC48/IA32 unique EFI modules (built with gcc-4.8.5, as part of
OVMF) with both LzmaCompress and LzmaF86Compress. I repeated the same for
117 NOOPT_GCC48/X64 unique EFI modules. On average, the LzmaF86Compress
output size was 92.4% of the LzmaCompress output size in the IA32 case
(best relative compression: 86.01%, poorest relative compression: 97.47%
-- still a win). In the X64 case, the LzmaF86Compress output size was
92.95% of the LzmaCompress output size, on avarege (best relative
compression: 87.69%, poorest relative compression: 97.65% -- again, still
a win).
Given the consistent improvement from LzmaCompress to LzmaF86Compress,
remove the statement (rather than updating it to GCC48).
