Hello!
Bitbake documentation states that it is not possible to define a function
within .conf file (" r egardless of the type of function, you can only define
them in class (.bbclass ) and recipe (.bb or.inc ) files"). However, it turns
out that this limitation can be easily circumvented if one puts a definition of
function into .inc file and 'requires' it in .conf (bitbake will not emit an
error). This trick is extensively used in meta-arm-toolchain and
meta-external-toolchain layers (in tcmode-${TCMODE}.inc files) and even once in
meta-core (see
meta/conf/machine/include/microblaze/feature-microblaze-versions.inc).
Could you please clarify if such "feature" is intentional? Because
1. It is not obvious from bitbake documentation (it is said that functions may
be defined within .inc files, but based on word "recipe" I guess that .inc
files included in .bb-s were meant)
2. It is kind of counter-intuitive that functions can be intertwined with conf
files
Thanks in advance,
Vladimir
