Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] kbuild: Add macros cc-option-3 and __cc-option-3

El Fri, Jul 21, 2017 at 02:56:56PM -0700 Matthias Kaehlcke ha dit:

> The macro cc-option receives two parameters (the second may be empty). It
> returns the first parameter if it is a valid compiler option, otherwise
> the second one. It is not evaluated if the second parameter is a valid

Any comment on this?

Thanks
