Hi Laszlo. I've been looking at Trim.py. It has interesting code to strip out some struct stuff from preprocessed files, and modify Hex numbers, etc. Unfortunately, this is not currently done for .ASL, or would be wrong were it done (via options).
I assume the tool is intended for this sort of thing, but has not got the functionality we would like yet. I'm told there is a seperate mailing group for edk2 tools, but I can't find it via SourceForge. I assume you could suggest changes, or even submit patches to get Trim to do what you need. I'd quite like to do that myself, but I'm caught up in other things right now. One thing you could try is to have the .ASL in its own directory with its own .INF file, so only the required PCDs appear in AutoGen.h. Sorry, Ifan PS: I top posted to save everyone the nause of reading the back story, 'cos I'm considerate. :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: Laszlo Ersek <ler...@redhat.com> To: edk2-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Cc: Jordan Justen <jljus...@gmail.com>; Paolo Bonzini <pbonz...@redhat.com>; ifan.ll...@yahoo.co.uk Sent: Tuesday, 31 July 2012, 13:22 Subject: Re: [edk2] using PCDs in ASL, try 2 [was: QEMU debug port] On 07/30/12 12:16, Laszlo Ersek wrote: > I tried to do it after consulting > <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29533908> again > (kudos Ifan); please see the first patch.

"BaseTools/Conf/tools_def.template" defines DEFINE MSFT_ASLPP_FLAGS = /nologo /E /C /FIAutoGen.h DEFINE ICC_WIN_ASLPP_FLAGS = /nologo /E /C /FIAutoGen.h DEFINE GCC_ASLPP_FLAGS = -x c -E -P If I add "-include AutoGen.h" to GCC_ASLPP_FLAGS (also in "Conf/tools_def.txt"), then I don't have to #include the header manually, but the resultant source fails the same to compile with iasl.
