Per the rationale in 7b63ea57500 (Makefile: remove mandatory "spatch" arguments from SPATCH_FLAGS, 2022-07-05) we have certain flags that are truly mandatory, such as "--sp-file" and "--patch .". The "--all-includes" flag is also critical, but per [1] we might want to ad-hoc tweak it occasionally for testing or one-offs. But being unable to set e.g. SPATCH_FLAGS="--verbose-parsing" without breaking how our "spatch" works isn't ideal, i.e. before this we'd need to know about the default include flags, and specify: SPATCH_FLAGS="--all-includes --verbose-parsing". If we were then to change the default include flag (e.g. to "--recursive-includes") in the future any such one-off commands would need to be correspondingly updated. Let's instead leave the SPATCH_FLAGS for the user, while creating a new SPATCH_INCLUDE_FLAGS to allow for ad-hoc testing of the include strategy itself. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/20220823095733.58685-1-szeder.dev@xxxxxxxxx/ Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@xxxxxxxxx> --- Makefile | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index 6785e8175b5..25f0c7e837d 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -1303,7 +1303,8 @@ SANITIZE_LEAK = SANITIZE_ADDRESS = # For the 'coccicheck' target -SPATCH_FLAGS = --all-includes +SPATCH_INCLUDE_FLAGS = --all-includes +SPATCH_FLAGS = SPATCH_TEST_FLAGS = # Setting SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE higher will # usually result in less CPU usage at the cost of higher peak memory. @@ -1313,6 +1314,7 @@ SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE = 1 # Rebuild 'coccicheck' if $(SPATCH), its flags etc. change TRACK_SPATCH_DEFINES = TRACK_SPATCH_DEFINES += $(SPATCH) +TRACK_SPATCH_DEFINES += $(SPATCH_INCLUDE_FLAGS) TRACK_SPATCH_DEFINES += $(SPATCH_FLAGS) TRACK_SPATCH_DEFINES += $(SPATCH_TEST_FLAGS) TRACK_SPATCH_DEFINES += $(SPATCH_BATCH_SIZE) @@ -3182,6 +3184,7 @@ $(COCCI_PATCHES): %.patch: % fi; \ if ! echo $(COCCI_SOURCES) | xargs $$limit \ $(SPATCH) $(SPATCH_FLAGS) \ + $(SPATCH_INCLUDE_FLAGS) \ --sp-file $< --patch . \ >$@+ 2>$@.log; \ then \ -- 2.38.0.1280.g8136eb6fab2
