Subject: Kconfig entry defined multiple times
Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2012 10:05:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <503492D8.9030109@free.fr> (raw)

Hello,

I am working on kernel 2.6.32.38, and I see :

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

arch/x86/Kconfig, 202 :
=============

config USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS
     def_bool y
     depends on SMP

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

arch/Kconfig, 112 :
===========

config USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS
     bool

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Although we have this in Kconfig documentation,
================================================
A config option can be defined multiple times with the same name, but every
definition can have only a single input prompt and the type must not 
conflict.
================================================

here,
   - the first definition is a child of "Linux Kernel Configuration for 
x86" MainMenu ( arch/x86/Kconfig, 1 )
   - the second definition is a child of "General setup" Menu ( 
init/Kconfig, 24 )

So the hierarchy is different ; Can someone give explanations on this ?

Thx
