How can I skip steps in bitbake compilation procedure?

Let's say I'm writing a recipe and would like disable for debugging e.g. do_compile, how can I achieve that? The recipe in question is compiling a C library. I tried a few things such as overwriting:

do_compile() {
    pass
}

and leaving the function empty. But this did not skip the compilation.

I was trying to skip the do_compile:prepend() which was present in base recipe.

I had to add another do_compile:prepend() in bbappend, and add a return as coded below. This prepend will sit above base recipe prepend and because of return statement, further steps wont execute.

`do_compile:prepend() {
    return
    # skipping do_compile:prepend from base recipe which is not required.
}`

You can always use:

do_compile[noexec] = "1"

See https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/3.0/mega-manual/mega-manual.html#deleting-a-task

While writing this question I found the answer myself: Add a return statement:

do_compile() {
    return

    # following compilation will not be seen by bitbake
}

Hope this will help others.
