Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/7] Kconfig: add new special property shell= to test compiler options in Kconfig

This was prompted by the email from Linus today's morning.

I implmented this in a rush today, so there are still many TODOs,
but I put it here to start discussion.

I think it is working, but as you notice, it is tedious to repeat something
like follows:

config CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR
        bool
        option shell="$CC -Werror -fstack-protector -c -x c /dev/null"

One possiblity is to put this ugly code into script like follows,

config CC_STACKPROTECTOR
          bool
          option shell="$srctree/scripts/cc-option.sh $CC -fstack-protector"

... but this is longer.

I was thinking of something like follows:

config CC_STACKPROTECTOR
          bool
          option shell="$(CC_OPTION -fstack-protector)"

Need time to brush up details.

Comments are appreciated.


Masahiro Yamada (7):
  kbuild: remove kbuild cache
  kconfig: add xrealloc() helper
  kconfig: remove const qualifier from sym_expand_string_value()
  kconfig: support new special property shell=
  kconfig: invoke silentoldconfig when compiler is updated
  kconfig: add basic environments to evaluate C flags in Kconfig
  Test stackprotector options in Kconfig to kill CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO
