[PATCH 0/3 v2] kconfig: get the CONFIG_ prefix from the environment

[PATCH 0/3 v2] kconfig: get the CONFIG_ prefix from the environment

[Yann E. MORIN]

Hello All!

This little patch series allows one to override the CONFIG_ prefix at 
runtime, without the need to rebuild the frontends.

This will be useful to have, to share the same kconfig frontends between
different projects that may use different prefix. For example:
  - busybox and uClibc use the standard 'CONFIG_'
  - crosstool-NG uses 'CT_'
  - PTXdist uses 'PTXCONF_'
  - buildroot does not use a prefix at all
  - and so on...

    [PATCH 1/3] kconfig: remove CONFIG_ from string constants
    [PATCH 2/3] kconfig: add a function to get the CONFIG_ prefix
    [PATCH 3/3] kconfig: get CONFIG_ prefix from environment

This is part of my efforts to get a generic package that encapsulates the
kconfig frontends and parser into a standalone package, to make it easy
for third-party projects to easily sync (and ultimately share) their
kconfig infrastructure:
    kconfig-frontends
    http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/projects/kconfig-frontends

Changes this v1:
  - call getenv() only once
  - don't touch code when not strictly neeeded (don't fold not-so-long lines)
  - rebase on-top 3.7-rc1

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

[PATCH 1/3] kconfig: remove CONFIG_ from string constants

[Yann E. MORIN]

Having the CONFIG_ prefix in string constants gets in the way of
using a run-time-defined CONFIG_ prefix.

Fix that by using temp growable strings (gstr) in which we printf
the text.

[PATCH 2/3] kconfig: add a function to get the CONFIG_ prefix

[Yann E. MORIN]

Currently, we get the CONFIG_ prefix via the CONFIG_ macro, which means
the CONFIG_ prefix is hard-coded at compile time. This goes against
having a run-time defined CONFIG_ prefix.

Add a function that returns the CONFIG_ prefix to use (but keep the
current hard-coded behavior, to be changed in a later patch).

This changes the semantics of the CONFIG_ macro. Previously, a
double-quoted string was accepted, now you have to define it to a token
that is turned into a string. Why don't you keep it as before and just do a

return CONFIG_;

in the function?

Yes, that's as simple as it looks, indeed. /me hides.

Thank you!

[PATCH 3/3] kconfig: get CONFIG_ prefix from the environment

[Yann E. MORIN]

Currently, the CONFIG_ prefix is hard-coded in the kconfig frontends
executables. This means that two projects that use kconfig with
different prefixes can not share the same kconfig frontends.

Instead of hard-coding the prefix in the frontends, get it from the
environment, and revert back to hard-coded value if not found.

[PATCH 2/3] kconfig: add a function to get the CONFIG_ prefix

[Yann E. MORIN]

Currently, we get the CONFIG_ prefix via the CONFIG_ macro, which means
the CONFIG_ prefix is hard-coded at compile time. This goes against
having a run-time defined CONFIG_ prefix.

Add a function that returns the CONFIG_ prefix to use (but keep the
current hard-coded behavior, to be changed in a later patch).

To avoid touching all the code that uses the CONFIG_ macro, we just
undef it, and define it to be a call to the function.
