Re: [PATCH v5 3/4] scripts: add verifier script for builtin module range data

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

 



Hmm, does this handle my concern from the last patch. That is, if the
previous script is broken by some change, this will catch it?
If so, should there be a way to run this always? As it looks to be only
used for manual tests.
