[edk2-devel] [patch V2 02/29] MdePkg: Add MdeLibs.dsc.inc file to MdePkg

[Michael D Kinney]

Dandan,

I have a concern about the context of the dsc.inc file.

You assume that the MdeLibs.dsc.inc file will be included from
the common [LibraryClasses] section.

This means that this dsc.inc file can not be extended to support
CPU arch specific lib mappings.

I recommend this dsc.inc file contain the [LibraryClasses] 
line and that the MdeLibs.dsc.inc file be included just before
the [LibraryClasses] line in the consuming DSC files.

For example, there are some required library class mappings
for ARM and AARCH64 that are the same in every DSC file.
I want to have the option to add CPU or module specific 
lib mappings to MdeLibs.dsc.inc.

[LibraryClasses.ARM, LibraryClasses.AARCH64]
  #
  # It is not possible to prevent ARM compiler calls to generic intrinsic functions.
  # This library provides the instrinsic functions generated by a given compiler.
  # [LibraryClasses.ARM] and NULL mean link this library into all ARM images.
  #
  NULL|ArmPkg/Library/CompilerIntrinsicsLib/CompilerIntrinsicsLib.inf

  #
  # Since software stack checking may be heuristically enabled by the compiler
  # include BaseStackCheckLib unconditionally.
  #
  NULL|MdePkg/Library/BaseStackCheckLib/BaseStackCheckLib.inf
