We should not add compiler extensions, it is not our job. We are not a
selfcontained project as kernel is so we should not introduce things
like this.
If we need to add some abstraction for this in the future to support
compilers doing these things differently then we will do that the same
way we dealt with the depricated attribute.
Added --terse and --mailback options to the make stylecheck target. It
also does continue even if it enounters a possible error.
We decided on two exceptions from the linux kernel coding standard:
- Empty wait while loops may end with ; on the same line.
- All blocks after while, if, for have to be in brackets even if they
only contain one statement. Otherwise it is easy to introduce an
error.
Checkpatch needs to be adapted to reflect those changes.
All #includes now explicitly use the "<libopencm3/stm32/rcc.h>" format.
If you want to get rid of the "libopencm3" prefix in your local project you
can add a respective -I entry in your Makefile (not recommended though).
All .ld files and .a libs are installed in $(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/lib
directly (as before), but are now renamed to avoid potential
conflicts now or in the future. Examples:
libopencm3_lpc13xx.a
libopencm3_lpc13xx.ld
libopencm3_stm32.a
libopencm3_stm32.ld
