mconf/nconf: mark empty menus/menuconfigs different from non-empty ones

2013-06-18T21:58:59+00:00

Submenus are sometimes empty and it would be nice if there is
something that notifies us that we should not expect any content
_before_ we enter a submenu.

A new function menu_is_empty() was introduced and empty menus and
menuconfigs are now marked by "----" as opposed to non-empty ones that
are marked by "--->".

This scheme was suggested by "Yann E. MORIN" .

menuconfig: Replace CIRCLEQ by list_head-style lists.

sys/queue.h and CIRCLEQ in particular have proven to cause portability
problems (reported on Debian Sarge, Cygwin and FreeBSD)

menuconfig: Assign jump keys per-page instead of globally

2012-09-27T16:09:24+00:00

At the moment, keys 1-9 are assigned to the first 9 search results. This patch
makes them assigned to the first 9 results per-page instead. We are much less
likely to run out of keys that way.

menuconfig: Add jump keys to search results

2012-09-27T16:09:24+00:00

makes it possible to jump directly to the menu for a configuration entry after
having searched for it with '/'. If this menu is not currently accessible we
jump to the nearest accessible parent instead. After exiting this menu, the
user is returned to the search results where he may jump further in or
elsewhere.

kconfig: introduce specialized printer

2011-07-01T14:23:27+00:00

Make conf_write_symbol() grammar agnostic to be able to use it from different
code path. These path pass a printer callback which will print a symbol's name
and its value in different format.

conf_write_symbol()'s job become mostly only to prepare a string for the
printer. This avoid to have to pass specialized flag to generic
functions

kconfig: add savedefconfig

2010-08-03T11:49:32+00:00

savedefconfig will save a minimal config to a file
named "defconfig".

The config symbols are saved in the same order as
they appear in the menu structure so it should
be possible to map them to the relevant menus
if desired.

The implementation was tested against several minimal
configs for arm which was created using brute-force.

There was one regression related to default numbers
which had their valid range further limited by another symbol.

Sample:

config FOO
	int "foo"
	default 4

config BAR
	int "bar"
	range 0 FOO

If FOO is set to 3 then BAR cannot take a value higher than 3.
But the current implementation will set BAR equal to 4.

This is seldomly used and the final configuration is OK,
and the fix was non-trivial.
So it was documented in the code and left as is.

menuconfig: add support to show hidden options which have prompts

2010-04-14T13:34:19+00:00

Usage:
  Press  to show all config symbols which have prompts.

Quote Tim Bird:

| I've been bitten by this numerous times.  I most often
| use ftrace on ARM, but when I go back to x86, I almost
| always go through a sequence of searching for the
| function graph tracer in the menus, then realizing it's
| completely missing until I disable CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE.
|
| Is there any way to have the menu item appear, but be
| unsettable unless the SIZE option is disabled?  I'm
| not a Kconfig guru...

I myself found this useful too. For example, I need to test
ftrace/tracing and want to be sure all the tracing features are
enabled, so I  enter the "Tracers" menu, and press  to
see if there is any config hidden.

I also noticed gconfig and xconfig have a button "Show all options",
but that's a bit too much, and I think normally what we are not
interested in those configs which have no prompt thus can't be
changed by users.

Exmaple:

      --- Tracers
      -*-   Kernel Function Tracer
      - -     Kernel Function Graph Tracer
      [*]   Interrupts-off Latency Tracer
      - -   Preemption-off Latency Tracer
      [*]   Sysprof Tracer

Here you can see 2 tracers are not selectable, and then can find
out how to make them selectable.
