Add Kconfig.init() helper flag for suppressing tracebacks

2019-12-14T17:12:07Z

Tools that don't use standard_kconfig() currently generate spammy tracebacks for e.g. syntax errors. Add a suppress_traceback flag to Kconfig.__init__() for catching "expected" exceptions and printing them to stderr and exiting with status 1. Use it to make all tools consistently hide tracebacks.

setconfig: Use 'orig_type' instead of 'type' in error message

2019-07-02T16:07:34Z

It's confusing to have tristate symbols show up as bool in the bad-value error message when modules are disabled. set_value() validates the value against 'orig_type' rather than 'type' as well. Piggyback some quote consistency and make a comment in set_value() more informative.

Have load_config() and write_(min_)config() return messages

2019-06-03T04:50:06Z

Hardcoding load_config() and write_(min_)config() to write any message to stdout is awkward, because it means that the message can't be easily reused when stdout is the wrong place to write it to (e.g. in menuconfig/guiconfig). This gets extra bad now that there's also the "No change to ..." message. Modify load_config() and write_(min_)config() to return the message as a string instead, and have them always return a message, instead of just when 'filename' is None and verbose=True. This makes things flexible and straightforward. Use the new behavior in menuconfig.py and guiconfig.py. They now show "No change to ..." when saving a file doesn't modify it. Tools that want to write messages to stdout should now do print(kconf.load_config()) / print(kconf.write_config()). There's no clean way to preserve perfect backwards compatibility here, but keep accepting the 'verbose' argument and print a deprecation warning if a value is ever passed for it. That way, scripts will keep running, though possibly with less output on stdout. This changes the meaning of the load_config() return value as well, though I suspect it was only ever used by the menuconfig/guiconfig interfaces. The new behavior applies for kconfiglib.VERSION >= (12, 0, 0).

Make .config.old easier to discover

Mention that the old version of an overwritten configuration file is saved to .old in a few different places, to make it easier to discover.

Whitespace consistency nit

Convert some comments to module docstrings in utilities

2019-03-22T16:29:12Z

This makes running pydoc(3) on the utilities helpful. Reuse the module docstring for the --help text for utilities that use argparse. Also fix some copy-paste errors in the all*config.py descriptions and clean up the language a bit. Piggyback removal of an optimization in allmodconfig.py that's pretty irrelevant now.

setconfig: Fix help text format

2019-03-06T03:14:59Z

Need to use RawDescriptionHelpFormatter to preserve newlines in the description. Also fix a typo in the help text (s/assignments/assignment/)

setconfig: Add script

2019-02-11T02:07:30Z

This is a simple script for updating configuration values from the command line, with (optional) checking that the assigned value matches the actual symbol value afterwards (which it might not if there are unsatisfied dependencies). Sample usage: $ setconfig FOO_SUPPORT=y BAR_BITS=8 This is useful for patching the configuration in automated build systems, in a way that's safer than directly patching configuration files.
