hi folks, In my hacking, Im finding this useful. it adds a version of KBUILD_MODNAME without the quotes
--- a/scripts/Makefile.lib
+++ b/scripts/Makefile.lib@@ -119,7 +119,7 @@ target-stem = $(basename $(patsubst $(obj)/%,%,$@)) # end up in (or would, if it gets compiled in) name-fix = $(call stringify,$(subst $(comma),_,$(subst -,_,$1))) basename_flags = -DKBUILD_BASENAME=$(call name-fix,$(basetarget)) -modname_flags = -DKBUILD_MODNAME=$(call name-fix,$(modname)) +modname_flags = -DKBUILD_MODNAME=$(call name-fix,$(modname)) -DKBUILD_MODSYM=$(modname)
Im suspicious however, KBUILD_MODNAME has the quotes for a reason; probably robustness at some level. Afterall, __stringify() could add the quotes for cases where it was needed. If there was an __unstringify_token( ) I could remove this Makefile hack, is such a construct possible ?
