I would really like to keep it as short as possible, and that's another 4 chars. Also, I feel HAS_CONFIG may be a bit confusing (e.g. may sound more like whether the config is used at all in a particular board/SoC/arch, rather than whether it is enabled). I guess we could go with KCONFIG(XXX) if you prefer, but I kinda liked the symmetry between CONFIG_XXX and CONFIG(XXX). I would say that the rules for the global namespace are first come, first pick. There are currently no macros named CONFIG() in the tree, and after this is introduced, nobody can add another one (since kconfig.h is force-included in every file and would lead to a duplicate definition). Of course normally we want to avoid names that are too generic in the global namespace, but for something as ubiquitous and useful as this I think we can make an exception (because I doubt any other use case could have a better justification for claiming this name). ___ coreboot mailing list -- coreboot@coreboot.org To unsubscribe send an email to coreboot-le...@coreboot.org

Sounds good to me, too. Then we finally will avoid forgetting the CONIFG_ prefix. Werner > -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- > Von: Patrick Rudolph > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 6.
