At the end of this function, self.overrides is cleared, which means we'll
construct a new self.overrides after this call. And a new self.overrides
will give out different expand_cache, so the old expand_cache should also
be cleared to avoid any wrong value.
Currently, there's a problem revealed by recent recipe specific virtual
provider patch. If we enable multilib and set "OVERRIDES:prepend" in local.conf,
things don't work.
Here's the error message:
ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'lib32-gcc-cross-x86_64'
Below are reproduce steps:
1. Add in local.conf the following lines:
MACHINE ?= "qemux86-64"
require conf/multilib.conf
MULTILIBS ?= "multilib:lib32"
DEFAULTTUNE:virtclass-multilib-lib32 ?= "core2-32"
OVERRIDES:prepend = "some-override:"
(Note that using :append and :remove also reproduces the issue.)
2. bitbake -n lib32-sysstat
(bitbake -n core-image-minimal also reproduces the issue)
The expandWithRefs calls getVar, which fills expand_cache. So when setting
OVERRIDES:prepend, this will fill the expand_cache. When overridevars are updated,
if we don't clear expand_cache, we'll retrieve wrong values.
Previously, things happened to work because there's a call to expand
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}gcc, which in turn expands
TARGET_VENDOR. Now what we expand is PREFERRED_PROVIDER_ virtual/cross-cc,
so the problem is revealed.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a pre-packaged build system and development environment which is used as a development and validation tool by the Yocto Project. It features support for building customised embedded style device images and custom containers. There are reference demo images ranging from X11/GTK+ to Weston, commandline and more. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK suitable for IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of BSP layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way. Many layers are available and can be found through the layer index.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation, the 'meta-yocto' layer which has configuration and hardware support components. These components are all part of the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded ecosystems.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at https://docs.yoctoproject.org/
OpenEmbedded is the build architecture used by Poky and the Yocto project. For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website.

Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer), patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams:
OpenEmbedded-Core (files in meta/, meta-selftest/, meta-skeleton/, scripts/):
- Git repository: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
- Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
BitBake (files in bitbake/):
- Git repository: https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/
- Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
Documentation (files in documentation/):
- Git repository: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/
- Mailing list: docs@lists.yoctoproject.org
meta-yocto (files in meta-poky/, meta-yocto-bsp/):
- Git repository: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto
- Mailing list: poky@lists.yoctoproject.org
If in doubt, check the openembedded-core git repository for the content you intend to modify as most files are from there unless clearly one of the above categories. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current git repository branch in question.
