And to make sure it works, A needs to be declared before B in RV_FEATURE_FLAGS if B depends on A, for example, A is v, B is Zvfh. So in the pr an assert was introduced to make sure A is before B in RV_FEATURE_FLAGS.
>> But the assert does not work as expected, means if I move A below B in RV_FEATURE_FLAGS (check below for a simple patch, it's based on 7853415217cc17179abf2e160ca735c936017f4e), it can not be caught by the assert.

make sense, will fix.
