Hi Vipin, thanks for taking the time to review this patch.
I see where you are coming from. I was aware of the 'loophole' that the
current approach could have but, to be honest, I thought that there
would be very little use in being able to exclude arch/.*?/ files.
The reason for that being that I thought the most common usage for this
feature would be to ignore folders within subsystems like drivers and
tools to ensure code navigation would be less 'messy'.
Additionally, if we go with the global IGNOREDIRS approach you just
described, we could have some conflicting options too such as:
make ALLSOURCE_ARCHS="x86 arm" IGNOREDIRS=arch/x86 cscope
My 2 cents is that ALLSOURCE_ARCHS is already the mechanism for
excluding archs so it's 'okay' to keep IGNOREDIRS as is.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!
