Subject: [PATCH edk2-InfSpecification] Drop statement on package ordering
Date: Fri, 29 May 2020 15:02:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200529140251.23933-1-leif@nuviainc.com> (raw)
The description of [Packages] sections stated that
"Packages must be listed in the order that may be required for specifying
include path statements for a compiler. For example, the
MdePkg/MdePkg.dec file must be listed before the
MdeModulePkg/MdeModulePkg.dec file."
Drop it.

Surely this isn't something we take seriously?
If there is a measurable performance impact to the order of -I option
on the compiler command line, we should approach this programmatically.
