Re: [PATCH 01/19] MdePkg/DebugLib.h: add ASSERT_RETURN_ERROR()

["Kinney, Michael D" <michael.d.kinney@intel.com>]

Hi Laszlo,

I investigated the QuarkSocPkg ones.

The extra #include of BaseType.h should be removed from:
QuarkSocPkg/QuarkNorthCluster/Library/QNCSmmLib/QNCSmmLib.c

However, it should not be removed from the other one:
QuarkSocPkg/QuarkNorthCluster/Library/ResetSystemLib/ResetSystemLib.c

The ResetSystemLib uses EFI_TIME that is defined in BaseType.h.

I will send patch for QNCSmmLib.

Mike

Laszlo:
  Thanks for your report them. I just investigate MdePkg and MdeModulePkg ones. MdePkg BaseLib should be BASE type. It doesn't depend on UEFI. I will clean up it. MdeModulePkg FrameBufferBltLib is designed for UEFI GOP BLT operation. This library instance type should be UEFI_DRIVER.

  I will provide the patch to clean up them.

Thanks
Liming

I spent a few minutes on the following shell script, to identify such
libraries:

{

# Locate the INF files that have a LIBRARY_CLASS define with a client
# module type list that explicitly includes BASE
git grep -l -E '\' -- \
'*.inf'

# Locate the INF files that have MODULE_TYPE=BASE, and a LIBRARY_CLASS
# define without a client type list.
git grep -l -E '\' -- '*inf' \
| xargs -r -- grep -l -E '\[^|]+$' --

} \
| {

# Cut off the last pathname component, in order to get the pathname of
# the directory containing the INF file
rev | cut -f 2- -d / | rev

} \
| {

# If a directory has several matching INF files, list the directory
# only once.
sort -u

} \
| {

# Check if any file in these directories includes
# "Uefi/UefiBaseType.h".
xargs -r -- grep -r -l Uefi/UefiBaseType.h --

}

It prints the following files:

CorebootModulePkg/Library/CbParseLib/CbParseLib.c
CorebootPayloadPkg/Library/PlatformHookLib/PlatformHookLib.c
MdeModulePkg/Library/FrameBufferBltLib/FrameBufferBltLib.c
MdePkg/Library/BaseLib/FilePaths.c
OvmfPkg/Library/XenConsoleSerialPortLib/XenConsoleSerialPortLib.c
QuarkSocPkg/QuarkNorthCluster/Library/QNCSmmLib/QNCSmmLib.c
QuarkSocPkg/QuarkNorthCluster/Library/ResetSystemLib/ResetSystemLib.c

We should likely investigate them.

I'll handle the OvmfPkg one.
