Well, they "work" for me and I'd be happy with them being submitted. Tested-by: Ryan Harkin <ryan.har...@linaro.org> The only curious effect I can see is the Print(L"xxx"); lines that expect the \n to be missing will no longer "work". For example, I carry a patch by Daniil Egranov titled "IntelFrameworkModulePkg/BdsDxe: Show boot timeout message" and it no longer displays the countdown on the same line each time, it prints each message on a new line. However, I don't see that as a blocking point, Daniil's patch could be changed easily and there are other advantages to this series that make it worthwhile, IMO, eg, Shell commands with lots of output (like "help" or "dir fs0:") no longer create an awful mess on the serial console. >> Thanks >> Laszlo >> _______________________________________________ >> edk2-devel mailing list >> edk2-devel@lists.01.org >> https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/edk2-devel _______________________________________________ edk2-devel mailing list edk2-devel@lists.01.org https://lists.01.org/mailman/listinfo/edk2-devel
