Reading this language reference and seeing the config entries consistently using indentation in Kconfig files, I mistook it as language syntax. * Maybe it'll help to explicitly specify that indentation is not the Kconfig language syntax. >You can write Kconfig code without indentation, >without blank lines in-between. > > >config FOO >bool "foo" >depends on BAR >config BAR >bool "bar" >config BAZ >bool "baz" > > >It is unreadable, but it works fine. > > >Only the place where the indentation plays an act >is the end of help.

In that case, to confirm: are there any input cases which are erroneous according to the Kconfig language syntax? Because even config entries ending with an 'EOF' are not flagged as an error. * Last to confirm: is 'kconfig-language.html' reference for the Kconfig langauge as implemented in kernel OR it is the general language reference that applies to all Kconfig files across all projects? Because non-kernel projects also seem to use Kconfig files. Thank you. --- - Prasad
