[RFC PATCH 1/3] kbuild: Warn on selecting symbols with unmet directdependencies

From: Catalin Marinas
Date: Tue Jun 08 2010 - 12:26:17 EST


The "select" statement in Kconfig files allows the enabling of options
even if they have unmet direct dependencies (i.e. "depends on" expands
to "no"). Currently, the "depends on" clauses are used in calculating
the visibility but they do not affect the reverse dependencies in any
way.

The patch introduces additional tracking of the "depends on" statements
and prints a warning on selecting an option if its direct dependencies
are not met.
