Re: Setting BuildOptions by module type does not seem to work

[Kurt Kennett <Kurt.Kennett@microsoft.com>]

Hi Liming.  I'm a bit confused by your email.

I my original email below, I reference directly:

>> DSC spec (January 2016 1.26) says I can do this:
>>
>> (Section 3.6 pp 76)

In this section it says:

...
Build options priority (appended from lowest to highest and/or highest replacement) is:
* Highest, DSC file's component scoped <BuildOptions> for individual INF files.
* [BuildOptions.$(arch).CodeBase.Edk2ModuleType]
* [BuildOptions.$(arch).CodeBase]
* [BuildOptions.common.CodeBase]
* [BuildOptions.$(arch)]
* [BuildOptions.common]
* [BuildOptions]
* INF File's [BuildOptions] section
* Lowest - tools_def.txt entry

In the "Prototype" section immediately below this (Page 79) is the grammar.

There is no interpretation of the grammar corresponds to

[BuildOptions.common.EDKII.DXE_RUNTIME_DRIVER]

Which is the format that actually works in the code.

Is there some other section or interpretation that you are referring to?

Hi,
  This style has been defined in DSC spec 1.26. It can be downloaded from https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK%20II%20Specifications

Thanks

Okay this seems to work:

[BuildOptions.common.EDKII.DXE_RUNTIME_DRIVER]

Thanks Andrew.

(doesn't match the spec though :) )

I'm guessing the syntax checking is not very good?
[BuildOptions.common.EDKII.DXE_RUNTIME_DRIVER]
[BuildOptions.AARCH64.common.EDKII.DXE_RUNTIME_DRIVER]

I see the [BuildOptions.common.EDKII.DXE_RUNTIME_DRIVER] form used in other places, but you have an extra .common?

Thanks,

Andrew Fish
