> @xiaoxiang781216 but popen is not used by default by the project, so there is not possibility to it be disabled and break the relation. > user may call both pipes and popen initially, and remove popen call later, and will surprise that linker complain pipes function can't be found after he remove CONFIG_SYSTEM_POPEN from defconfig. > I think "depends on" doesn't protect the feature as we are thinking, because the user could go there and enable manually the feature in the .config. The user will find that the feature doesn't enable actually because the dependence doesn't match, instead linker error. Why do you think `depends on` doesn't protect the feature? > And even worst, "depends on" hides the feature in menuconfig. > > The user will search for it, will find it, but when he goes there the option is not there. I think this is a case where "select" is better than "depends on" The user need understand the basic Kconfig concept, I don't believe that they can work with NuttX or Zephyr/Linux efficiently if they don't understand `depends on` and `select`. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
