Re: [PATCH v5] devtools: add tags and cscope index file generation support

Hi,
I have some comments about behaviour, naming and coding style.

linuxapp/bsdapp could be renamed to simpler linux/bsd.

Why not arm32 for consistency?

> +arm64=false
> +ia_32=false

ia_32 should be x86_32

This is assuming the working dir is the dpdk root.
It is assumed elsewhere in the script.
I suggest adding "cd $(dirname $0)/.." at the beginning of the script.

Same comment about arm32 consistency.

... and here x86/x86_32 instead of ia/i686

RTE_TARGET is used to define the build directory.
It will not be defined in this script and it does not really
make sense to enforce it.
I suggest to remove rte_config.h from this script.
Other argument: you can have several build directories
with different configs.

It is not a config but a target.
Yes the target is checked against existing config template names.

This "do" keyword could be on the previous line, like you did for if...then.

Better to use an "if" block here.

More compact grep:
	if echo $2 | grep -q "linuxapp-" ; then

You could define them as true by default.
So the above grep would become:
	echo $2 | grep -q "linuxapp-" || linux=false

I am a bit surprised by these constructs.
When using sh -e, we should not have a false statement.
I think it should be:
	if $linuxapp ; then linuxapp_sources ; fi

Please use an "if" block here.

No need of ifdef.
