Commit Message

From: Ying Sun <sunying@nj.iscas.ac.cn>

Add warning about the configuration option's invalid value in verbose mode,
 including error causes, mismatch dependency, old and new values,
 to help users correct them.

Detailed error messages are printed only when the environment variable
 is set like "KCONFIG_VERBOSE=1".
By default, the current behavior is not changed.

v1 -> v2:
* Reduced the number of code lines by refactoring and simplifying the logic.
* Changed the print "ERROR" to "WARNING".
* Focused on handling dependency errors: dir_dep and rev_dep, and range error.
  - A downgrade from 'y' to 'm' has be warned.
  - A new CONFIG option should not be warned.
  - Overwriting caused by default value is not an error and is no longer printed.
* Fixed style issues.

I am writing to inquire about the status of my patch submission. 

Are there any issues with this patch that we need to modify?

Yes, many issues.





This patch will break the user interface
because printing messages to stderr
is not always allowed.




For example,


$ make nconfig KCONFIG_VERBOSE=1

Go to

 Kernel hacking --->
   printk and dmesg options --->
     Default console loglevel (1-15) -->


Input 20


The error message will mess up the ncurses display.


You need to use conf_warning().




You introduced memory leak because you called
str_new(), but did not call str_free().




For the environment variable, please use
something specific and descriptive.
For example, KCONFIG_WARN_CHANGED_INPUT




Lastly, please do not scatter the code everywhere.


I guess the right place to inject the checker is
conf_write() (and conf_write_defconfig() as well).



        } else if (!(sym->flags & SYMBOL_CHOICE) &&
                   !(sym->flags & SYMBOL_WRITTEN)) {
                sym_calc_value(sym);

                if (warn_changed_input)                 <--
                         warn_changed_user_input(sym);  <--

                if (!(sym->flags & SYMBOL_WRITE))
                         goto next;
