Proposal
for people who might be familiar with the barebox boot loader, Simon is basically proposing the same thing as barebox's "sandbox" target.
to avoid confusion/fragmentation in this area, and since the name is a large part bike shedding, i propose we adopt the same name that barebox has. that way we can sanely use the same term when comparing/contrasting.
Yes, I agree that naming the target 'sandbox' is a good idea
Comments
At this early stage I am looking for comments on the concept - how useful it is and how best to implement it.
i certainly think it's a worthwhile exercise, especially if it gets us to the point where we can do `make check` and have confidence in our common code changes not being completely f-ed up.
Indead - And I think it will serve as further impetus to arch-neutralise code outside /arch/
