Subject: [Question] Why CONFIG_SHELL
Date: Mon, 09 Jun 2014 14:04:12 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140609140411.95B6.AA925319@jp.panasonic.com> (raw)
Hi experts.
I think all the macros with CONFIG_ prefix are supposed to be
defined in Kconfig.
But I've been long wondering why there exists one exception:
CONFIG_SHELL.
Is there any historical, or special reason?
Is it good to rename it to KBUILD_SHELL or something else?
Best Regards
Masahiro Yamada
