exactly is done with INHERIT-ed anonymous functions and
when.

:term:`INHERIT`
Causes the named class or classes to be inherited globally. Anonymous
functions in the class or classes are not executed for the base
configuration and in each individual recipe. The OpenEmbedded build
system ignores changes to :term:`INHERIT` in individual recipes.
functions in the class or classes are executed in two disjoint situations:
- When only the
:ref:`base configuration <bitbake-user-manual/bitbake-user-manual-execution:parsing the base configuration metadata>`
is parsed. For example as a result of the following BitBake invocation::
$ bitbake -e
- When recipes are parsed - then for each parsed recipe.
Bitbake ignores changes to :term:`INHERIT` in individual recipes.
