Subject: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v2 0/4] Compile AML bytecode array into OBJ file

Following the BZ at https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2425
This patch serie is a another way to solve the dependency of C files over ASL files. With this new method, the dependency is resolved at the linking stage.

The last method to solve this dependency was to add the possibility to modify INF files to depict such a dependency. This method was not accepted. The discussion is available at https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/topic/72655342#56658

The last patch modifying the INF specification and INF parsing are available at:
