Sorry, you're right. I tried it before sending the previous mail, but apparently I made a mistake. I tried again, and now it indeed allows me to select FB_PS3.

Btw, this is one of those things that easily causes problems. In many ways it would be nice if we had two different kinds of "bool": one where "m" in the dependency chain means "y" is ok, and one where "m" means "n". We used to have "dep_bool" and "dep_mbool" for this, a long time ago. It got dropped in the Kconfig language rewrite, and I think it was a mistake. So I think it would be nice to re-introduce it. As it is, we have a number of Kconfig language constructs that are just unnecessarily hard to understand, because we end up having to add a "= y" or similar. The rule *used* to be: "dep_mbool" was a boolean that was valid even for modules, while "dep_bool" was a boolean that was valid only for straigth "y", and a module would turn it off. Maybe not "bool" vs "mbool", but it might be nice to have bool FB_PS3 depends strictly on FB ie a "depends strictly" refuses to upgrade a bool dependency from "m" to "y", while a regular depends allows it. Or something.. The "depends strictly on X" thing would really be just a mental shorthand for "depends on (X)=y" (it's actually longer to type, but I think it's a bit more intuitive, thus "mental shortcut").

I just found another caveat: while `select' is some super-override-it-all that ignores depends on non-existent symbols, it doesn't promote `m' to `y'. E.g. `select FB_CFB_FILLRECT' from a bool still gives FB_CFB_FILLRECT=m if FB=m. Anyway, here's a fix for the 3 problematic cases I found. Subject: bool fbdevs must depend on FB = y Frame buffer device drivers that cannot be built as modules must depend on `FB = y'. Correct the 3 remaining offenders.

No, I realize what kind of behaviour we'll get if we go for dependency on FB=y. However, if we really introduce a new kconfig primitive, it might make sense to teach allmodconfig to deal with it. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread
