So I think the various capital letter files in $(cwd) are highly
suboptimal:
FEATURE-DUMP
PERF-CFLAGS
PERF-VERSION-FILE
I think we should standardize on something less pushy (no shouting),
plus more standardized, more logical, more coherent names, i.e.
something like:
.build.features.cache
.build.cflags
.build.version
?
.build.features.* would be reserved to the generic feature detection
machinery.
.build.cflags and .build.version could be used by the perf build -
hopefully exported to tools/build/ as well in the future! :-)
That way the .gitignore could just ignore .build.* and we'd not have
to update it much.
Btw., another small nit: could we please do a (git-)rename of
tools/build/feature/ to tools/build/features/?
Plural is what is used typically for generic frameworks that deal with
a set of items (features in this case) - for example we have
tools/tests/, and tools/perf/scripts/, not tools/test/ and
tools/perf/script/.
Thanks,
Ingo
