[v4,1/5] mk: introduce helper to check valid compiler argument
Checks
Commit Message
From: Jerin Jacob <jerinj@marvell.com>
Introduce rte_cc_has_argument() Makefile helper to
check a given argument is support by the compiler.
Example Usage:
include $(RTE_SDK)/mk/rte.helper.mk
MACHINE_CFLAGS += $(call rte_cc_has_argument, -mcpu=octeontx2)
This would allow adding -mcpu=octeontx2 in MACHINE_CFLAGS
if it is only supported by the compiler. The use case for such
scheme is to enable the mcpu optimization if the compiler
supports else it needs to compile the source code without
any errors.
This patch also moves inclusion of toolchain's rte.vars.mk
to before the machine's rte.vars.mk inclusion to make
correct CC available for the cross compile case.

What is tmp$$ ?
If the command is interrupted in the middle, temp file is not cleaned.
We could fix it with "trap".
Is it possible to just avoid creating a temporary file?

It is created per process with pid value.

Yes. I think we can move to RTE_OUTPUT. Even it is not cleaned
then it is file, I think, that would be easiest solution.

Can we do it in Makefile?

I tried it but gcc creates one.

I see. The file is in current directory with name tmp + PID.

Yes, it is just one more command separated with ;

It does not create a file in my test.
A better command is:
$(CC) -E $(1) -xc /dev/null >/dev/null
Then you can just check the return value.
If you want rte_cc_has_argument returns a string or empty as true/false,
you can do this:
$(CC) -E $(1) -xc /dev/null >/dev/null && echo $(1)
