# Select broken dependency issue
|
|
# ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
#
|
|
# Test with:
|
|
#
|
|
# make KBUILD_KCONFIG=Documentation/kbuild/Kconfig.select-break menuconfig
|
|
#
|
|
# kconfig will not complain and enable this layout for configuration. This is
|
|
# currently a feature of kconfig, given select was designed to be heavy handed.
|
|
# Kconfig currently does not check the list of symbols listed on a symbol's
|
|
# "select" list, this is done on purpose to help load a set of known required
|
|
# symbols. Because of this use of select should be used with caution. An
|
|
# example of this issue is below.
|
|
#
|
|
# The option B and C are clearly contradicting with respect to A.
|
|
# However, when A is set, C can be set as well because Kconfig does not
|
|
# visit the dependencies of the select target (in this case B). And since
|
|
# Kconfig does not visit the dependencies, it breaks the dependencies of B
|
|
# (!A).
