trylink: explain how to modify link and drastically decrease amount
of padding (unfortunately, needs hand editing ATM).
*: add ALIGN1 / ALIGN2 to global strings and arrays of bytes and shorts
size saving: 0.5k
I don't know why patch decided to apply this even though it was already in
the tree. I thought the other hunks failed because they were totally
unrelated leakage from Bernhard's tree (which they are; was the a reason
for bundling them in with this fix? Do they have something to do with
the GCC 2.95 fix? I suspect they prevent me from backporting this
patch to 1.2.2 because the header consolidation into libbb.h hadn't
been done yet, and no I'm not fixing it up: if that's the case then
this patch won't be in 1.2.2 due to extraneous changes bundled with it that
prevent a clean backport without rolling a new patch).
few new (unfinished) config options, which I intend to make hidden (but
enabled) when CONFIG_NITPICK is disabled. Getting the .config infrastructure
to do that is non-obvious, it seems...
fallout due to the #include <sys/mount.h>. Removed that #include from various
applets and fixed up those that were unhappy when that #include was made
because they'd block copied stuff out of it. (Sigh.)
files still using them. I didn't remove them from e2fsck.c to avoid stomping
pending cleanup patches from Garrett, and I didn't bother to remove them from
fdisk.c because that entire file needs to be rewritten from scratch.
- add ATTRIBUTE_ALWAYS_INLINE, endian handling for DEC UNIX, some more
compiler dependent defines to platform.h
- add conditional bb_setpgrp define to platform.h
- remove superfluous specifying args from "#define fdprintf dprintf"
For each CONFIG_SYMBOL, include/bb_config.h now has both ENABLE_SYMBOL
and USE_SYMBOL(x). ENABLE_SYMBOL is still always defined (1 or 0) so that
if(ENABLE) should optimize out when it's zero. The USE_SYMBOL(X) will only
splice in X if the symbol is defined, otherwise it'll be empty.
Thus we can convert this:
#ifdef CONFIG_ARGS
opt = bb_getopt_ulflags(argc, argv, "ab:c"
#ifdef CONFIG_THINGY
"d:"
#endif
, &bvalue
#ifdef CONFIG_THINGY
, &thingy
#endif
);
#endif
into this:
if (ENABLE_ARGS) {
opt = bb_getopt_ulflags(argc, argv, "ab:c" USE_THINGY("d:"), &bvalue
USE_THINGY(, &thingy));
}
And it should produce the same code.
Unlike the old versions in include/_usage.h, the new USE_SYMBOL(x) can handle
commas in its arguments (as shown above). (The _usage.h file is obsolete and
no longer generated.)
Nobody should need to include config.h directly anymore, bb_config.h should
define all the configuration stuff we need. Someday, the CONFIG_SYMBOL
versions should go away in favor of ENABLE_SYMBOL and USE_SYMBOL().
Thanks to vodz for the new version of bb_mkdep.c that works with function
macros.
