Subject: [PATCH 3/4] Documentation: kbuild: Remove obsolete dtc_cpp section
Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2014 17:23:09 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1407511390-5429-3-git-send-email-geert@linux-m68k.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1407511390-5429-1-git-send-email-geert@linux-m68k.org>
Commit b40b25fff8205dd18124d8fc87b2c9c57f269b5f ("kbuild: always
run gcc -E on *.dts, remove cmd_dtc_cpp") improved the functionality of
cmd_dtc_cpp and merged it back into cmd_dtc.

- dtc_cpp
- This is just like dtc as describe above, except that the C pre-
- processor is invoked upon the .dtsp file before compiling the result
- with dtc.
-
- In order for build dependencies to work, all files compiled using
- dtc_cpp must use the C pre-processor's #include functionality and not
- dtc's /include/ functionality.
-
- Using the C pre-processor allows use of #define to create named
- constants. In turn, the #defines will typically appear in a header
- file, which may be shared with regular C code. Since the dtc language
- represents a data structure rather than code in C syntax, similar
- restrictions are placed on a header file included by a device tree
- file as for a header file included by an assembly language file.
- In particular, the C pre-processor is passed -x assembler-with-cpp,
- which sets macro __ASSEMBLY__. __DTS__ is also set. These allow header
- files to restrict their content to that compatible with device tree
- source.
-
- A central rule exists to create $(obj)/%.dtb from $(src)/%.dtsp;
- architecture Makefiles do no need to explicitly write out that rule.
