From d3a918c659ed0998ac668de3973e81bab81dde74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masahiro Yamada Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2019 16:10:21 +0900 Subject: kbuild: remove cc-version macro There is no more direct user of this macro; it is only used by cc-ifversion. Calling this macro is not efficient since it invokes the compiler to get the compiler version. CONFIG_GCC_VERSION is already calculated in the Kconfig stage, so Makefile can reuse it. Here is a note about the slight difference between cc-version and CONFIG_GCC_VERSION: When using Clang, cc-version is evaluated to '0402' because Clang defines __GNUC__ and __GNUC__MINOR__, and looks like GCC 4.2 in the version point of view. On the other hand, CONFIG_GCC_VERSION=0 when $(CC) is clang. There are currently two users of cc-ifversion: arch/mips/loongson64/Platform arch/powerpc/Makefile They are not affected by this change. The format of cc-version is , while CONFIG_GCC_VERSION . I adjusted cc-ifversion for the difference of the number of digits.
