Subject: Re: [PATCH 00/30] kconfig: move compiler capability tests to Kconfig
2018-04-13 14:06 GMT+09:00 Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@...ionext.com>:
I forgot to prefix the patch subjects with the version.
This series is V3.
> [Introduction]
>
> The motivation of this work is to move the compiler option tests to
> Kconfig from Makefile. A number of kernel features require the
> compiler support. Enabling such features blindly in Kconfig ends up
> with a lot of nasty build-time testing in Makefiles. If a chosen
> feature turns out unsupported by the compiler, what the build system
> can do is either to disable it (silently!) or to forcibly break the
> build, despite Kconfig has let the user to enable it.

> [Major Changes in V3]

> This version looks more like Make.

> - Use = operator instead of 'macro' keyword
> to define a user-defined function.
>
> - 'Recursively expanded variable' is implemented as a side-effect.
> A variable is a function with zero argument.
>
> - Support simply expanded variable which is defined by := operator
>
> - Support += operator.
> Probably, this feature will be useful to accumulate compiler flags.
> At least, Clang needs some prerequisite flags such as triplet
> to test other compiler flags.
>
> - Support $(info ...) and $(warning ...) built-in functions,
> which were useful while I was debugging this.
>
> - Add documentation
>
> - Add unit tests
>
> - Collect helpers to scripts/Kconfig.include

> [TODO items]

> I have not been able to finish this. Maybe aiming for v4.18-rc1.

> - The text expansion should be able to defer argument expansion.
> This is necessary if we want to implement $(if ...) built-in function.
>
> - Error out recursive expansion of itself.
> For example,
> X = $(X)
> refers itself.
> If referenced, the expansion continues eternally. This must be terminated.
>
> - More compatible behavior?
> Kconfig works mostly like Make, but there are naive cases
> where the behavior is different.
