Not sure if it's relevant, but, I've enclosed (1) a bash script that produces an analysis of the CONFIG_ variables in a specified Linux kernel source tree, and (2) the results from running that on the 2.4.5 tree. It analyses all files matching '*.?' and '[Cc]onfig.in' in the specified tree, and reports on the results by summarising both how many times each CONFIG_* variable is used total, which files it is used in, and how many times it is used in each file. Best wishes from Riley. ------=_NextPart_000_00DE_01C11824.3404BEA0 Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="allgrep.gz" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="allgrep.gz" H4sICMF0SzsCA2FsbGdyZXAAnVLRbtMwFH2Ov+IsdHhDctMiVQiNgKrB0KRqlVDhgaZMruO0loJd 7GRoUP4dJ07DKiYecB7ie319zj3n+slJslY6WXO3JaSotaiU0SiN4JU8O8dPAr8KpXPEg3EMVt3v JApkZ2Caf5Wgz4ZvKJg5hMtLsTK6UJuh0hTZOfn1AHYjqztue1gnc1CXLL+M2MvbKfvM2Y9VgmRD 8apli6KMRHtUFsyBNl+madRli42VO1zOb66u398+wuJ6mkZMiavr2TvSx5UMevZwxlZghd9936pS wkqet8W4QG5ItLNKVwXoKXsxcZml/l5zGuP10+ckClx9roPbo9bqG5hoEq3IdJCCdlU03dC2kdxo edR5qfQf06XYGqT/uTyxqL2uNcZsMD4i2VkjpHvMHsxnb1NK8Wn6IfQnRcmtBFPe5483Cyzmi+ks HQUbO5v/6WO45vEeOqoKLP0tn41xkvqdp42xukC1lZpEDXZbwvRfZ1HjECYjv+vnUsMIUVvLtZcF U+DUZdo/FAzadtEQBdRChX8jM/CH+CAragp63EmNFsoDBRnt9I4GJ3IktbOJs4J0th7sqGR4Ycx7 pPi6lEOueXnvlCO/AYntmtFzAwAA ------=_NextPart_000_00DE_01C11824.3404BEA0-- - 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/
