Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] ArmPkg/PlatformBootManagerLib: use static assertion for console type
Date: Tue, 19 May 2020 14:23:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200519122351.18405-2-ard.biesheuvel@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200519122351.18405-1-ard.biesheuvel@arm.com>

Replace the runtime ASSERT with the build time STATIC_ASSERT on the
check that ensures that the terminal type we use for the serial
console matches the one we explicitly add to the ConIn/ConOut/StdErr
variables.

This helps catch serial console issues early, even in RELEASE builds,
reducing the risk of ending up with no console at all, which can be
tricky to debug on bare metal.
