[edk2-devel] How to assign NULL to a VOID* PCD?

[Michael D Kinney]

Hi Tim,

Assigning NULL to a VOID* PCD is not supported.

I recommend you design the structure that the VOID* type PCD points to be self describing.  You can put a count field or if it is an array, use can use a tag in a field to mark the end of the array.

I want the PCD database to contain a NULL to a PCD that is of type VOID* but this does not seem to be allowed in the .dsc files.

In .dec files, I can assign an <Expression> for the value, which lets me put a 0. But the syntax for .dsc files only lets me put data. So for array cases where I want 0 entries, I am always forced to put at least 1 dummy entry. Normally, I would like to use PcdGetSize to get the total array size.

Any pointers?

Thanks,

Tim
