Add support for generating an autoconf.h header file that can be used in the source instead of #ifdef.
For example, instead of:
#ifdef CONFIG_VERSION_VARIABLE setenv("ver", version_string); /* set version variable */ #endif
you can do:
if (autoconf_version_variable()) setenv("ver", version_string); /* set version variable */
The compiler will ensure that the dead code is eliminated, so the result is the same.
Where the value of the CONFIG define is 0, you can use the autoconf_has...() form. For example CONFIG_BOOTDELAY can be -ve, 0 or +ve, but if it is defined at all, it affects behaviour:
#if defined(CONFIG_BOOTDELAY) && (CONFIG_BOOTDELAY >= 0) s = getenv ("bootdelay"); #endif
So we use:
if (autoconf_has_bootdelay() && autoconf_bootdelay() >= 0) s = getenv ("bootdelay");
This later form should only be used for such 'difficult' defines where a zero value still means that the CONFIG should be considered to be defined.
Signed-off-by: Simon Glass sjg@chromium.org --- Changes in v2: - Split out changes to main.c into separate patches - Fix up a few errors and comments in the original RFC - Use autoconf_...() instead of config_...() - Use autoconf_has_...() instead of config_..._enabled() - Add a grep to the sed/sort pipe to speed up processing

This makes +different boards compile different versions of the source code, meaning +that we must build all boards to check for failures. It is easy to misspell +an #ifdef and there is not as much checking of this by the compiler. For +someone coming new into the code base, #ifdefs are a big turn-off. Multiple +dependent #ifdefs are harder to do than with if..then..else. Variable +declarations must be #idefed as well as the code that uses them, often much +later in the file/function. #ifdef indents don't match code indents and +have their own separate indent feature. Overall, excessive use of #idef +hurts readability and makes the code harder to modify and refactor. + +In an effort to reduce the use of #ifdef in U-Boot, without requiring lots +of special static inlines all over the header files, a single autoconf.h +header file with lower-case function-type macros has been made available. + +This file has either: + +# #define config_xxx() value + +for enabled options, or: + +# #define config_xxx() 0 + +for disabled options. You can therefore generally change code like this: + + #ifdef CONFIG_XXX + do_something + #else + do_something_else + #endif + +to this: + + if (config_xxx()) + do_something; + else + do_something_else; + +The compiler will see that config_xxx() evalutes to a constant and will +eliminate the dead code.

Unfortunately there are a few +cases where a value of 0 does not mean the option is disabled. For example +CONFIG_BOOTDELAY can be defined to 0, which means that the bootdelay +code should be used, but with a value of 0. To get around this and other +sticky cases, an addition macro with an '_enabled' suffix is provided, where +the value is always either 0 or 1: + + // Will work even if boaard config has '#define CONFIG_BOOTDELAY 0' + if (config_bootdelay_enabled()) + do_something; + +(Probably such config options should be deprecated and then we can remove +this feature) + +U-Boot already has a Makefile scheme to permit files to be easily included +based on CONFIG.
