The term doesn't show up in Documentation/kbuild. There's TF_PARAM in zconf.gperf, but that's some odd category that apparently only includes "on" and "if". zconf.l only has the undocumented PARAM state. > it does not cover situations where a statement > has additional characters around it. > > This change introduces a warning if superfluous characters are found > around statements.

[...], but '-' characters will now also generate a warning, add a special rule for that case. or something along those lines. Should we elaborate here that currently "---help---" only is an alias for "help" because we simply skip "---" when parsing Kconfig files? Or is that trick so obscure that nobody else will care about it? > Reported-by: Valentin Rothberg > Signed-off-by: Andreas Ruprecht > --- > scripts/kconfig/zconf.l | 11 +++++++++-- > 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/scripts/kconfig/zconf.l b/scripts/kconfig/zconf.l > index 200a3fe..84a5d05 100644 > --- a/scripts/kconfig/zconf.l > +++ b/scripts/kconfig/zconf.l > @@ -106,7 +106,15 @@ n [A-Za-z0-9_] > zconflval.string = text; > return T_WORD; > } > - . > + "---help---" { > + /* Support old syntax for help statement */ s/old/alternative/? > + return T_HELP; > + } > + . { > + fprintf(stderr, > + "%s:%d:warning: ignoring unsupported character '%c'\n", > + zconf_curname(), zconf_lineno(), *yytext); > + } Could you add and use a small helper function for this warning and the identical warning that was added in commit 2e0d737fc76f? > \n { > BEGIN(INITIAL); > current_file->lineno++; > @@ -132,7 +140,6 @@ n [A-Za-z0-9_] > BEGIN(STRING); > } > \n BEGIN(INITIAL); current_file->lineno++; return T_EOL; > - --- /* ignore */ > ({n}|[-/.])+ { > const struct kconf_id *id = kconf_id_lookup(yytext, yyleng); > if (id && id->flags & TF_PARAM) { Thanks, Paul Bolle -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
