[PATCH 1/4] tools, build: Retry detection of bfd-related features

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



While separate features have been defined to determine which linking flags
are required to use libbfd depending on the distribution (libbfd,
libbfd-liberty and libbfd-liberty-z), the same has not been done for other
features requiring linking to libbfd.

For example, disassembler-four-args requires linking to libbfd too, but it
should use the right linking flags. If not all the required ones are
specified, e.g. -liberty, detection will always fail even if the feature is
available.

Instead of creating new features, similarly to libbfd, simply retry
detection with the different set of flags until detection succeeds (or
fails, if the libraries are missing). In this way, feature detection is
transparent for the users of this building mechanism (e.g. perf), and those
users don't have for example to set an appropriate value for the
FEATURE_CHECK_LDFLAGS-disassembler-four-args variable.

The number of retries and features for which the retry mechanism is
implemented is low enough to make the increase in the complexity of
Makefile negligible.

Tested with perf and bpftool on Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS, Fedora 36 and openSUSE
Tumbleweed.
