The following patch set adds user-friendly features to the settings user interface, transforming the "config" command into a settings browser capable of navigating the configuration hierarchy, highlighting variables set at the current level while still showing inheritted values, and alerting the user of attempts to edit read-only variables. Details are included in each patch, and screenshots will follow.
In total, these patches require 768 bytes (uncompressed), and I leave it to the gPXE maintainers to judge if the cost is acceptable. The cost per-patch is as follows: abfca7e [settings] Introduce TAG_TYPE(). text data bss filename ---- ---- --- -------- 6 - - bin/smbios_settings.o 8d75f17 [settings] Add optionally-recursive fetch_setting_ex(). text data bss filename ---- ---- --- -------- 21 - - bin/settings.o 7b009c8 [settings_ui] Display only relevant settings. text data bss filename ---- ---- --- -------- 129 - - bin/settings_ui.o 3375845 [settings_ui] Highlight locally-set variables. text data bss filename ---- ---- --- -------- 157 - - bin/settings_ui.o c447594 [settings] Export settings_name() text data bss filename ---- ---- --- -------- 88 - 16 bin/settings.o 1e780dc [settings_ui] Add hierarchy navigation. text data bss filename ---- ---- --- -------- 367 - - bin/settings_ui.o Thanks to Michael Brown for the settings tag description on this list. Michael will likely want to comment on the first patch in the set. --Glenn _______________________________________________ gPXE-devel mailing list gPXE-devel@etherboot.org http://etherboot.org/mailman/listinfo/gpxe-devel
