Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v3 0/4] Compile AML bytecode array into OBJ file

["PierreGondois" <pierre.gondois@arm.com>]

Hello Bob,
The PR729 didn't pass the PatchCheck for the patch adding the LF line endings to the script in BaseTools/BinWrappers/PosixLike, this is for the patch named "BaseTools: Rename AmlToHex script to AmlToC" (cf the following link: https://dev.azure.com/tianocore/edk2-ci/_build/results?buildId=8860&view=logs&j=12f1170f-54f2-53f3-20dd-22fc7dff55f9&t=9c939e41-62c2-5605-5e05-fc3554afc9f5&l=76).
However, I thought it was a normal behaviour. Indeed, PatchCheck.py is triggering an error for any file with LF line endings, except when:
 - the file has a ".sh" extension
 - the filename is in .gitmodules (it is coming from another git repo)
 - the file mode of the file is 160000  (it is coming from another git repo)
The new AmlToC posix script doesn't match any of these conditions. However some other files are in the same conditions. I searched the files containing the "#!usr/bin/env" string and which don't have a ".sh" extension. I tried to run the PatchCheck.py script on their respective commit with the version of PatchCheck.py that existed at that time and the same CRLF error appeared. The list of these files is at the end of the mail. Renaming them with a ".sh" extension would break the build on linux: the extension of the file is important to locate a file. This is not the case on windows (and this explains why all the scripts in BaseTools\BinWrappers\WindowsLike have a .bat extension).
All the bash scripts not having a ".sh" extension are located in BaseTools/Bin/CYGWIN_NT-5.1-i686/ or BaseTools/BinWrappers/PosixLike/ . A solution would be to add an exception to the CRLF check for these two folders.

A small question: when applying the patch set, did BaseTools\BinWrappers\PosixLike\AmlToC have CRLF line endings and you had to manually modify them to linux line endings, or where the line endings already correct (linux LF line endings)?

Regards,
Pierre

The list of bash scripts without a ".sh" extension:

Hi Pierre,

I met a problem when I push your patch set.

If I change the CRLF to a unix format EOL, the patch can't pass PatchCheck.py.
If I don't change the CRLF, The build on Linux will fail.
So I can't make the patch set pass the CI.

Could you share me how did you do to make your PR 729 pass?

Thanks,
Bob

Subject: Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v3 0/4] Compile AML bytecode array into OBJ file

Hello Bob,
I believe the line endings of the BaseTools/BinWrappers/PosixLike/AmlToC script have been modified to CRLF when I sent the patch. I created a pull request from the linked github branch noted in the patches. It is available at https://github.com/PierreARM/edk2/commits/803_Compile_AML_bytecode_array_into_OBJ_file_v3 . The pull request is available here (to show the result of the CI tests) https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/pull/729 .
Do you want a v4 or is it possible to pull the patches from the github repository?
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Regards,
Pierre

Subject: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v3 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:
