How about a warning when it's _not_ explicitly enabled or disabled by the user? Specifically, tell the users to try enabling those features or to add explicit commands to stop the warnings. Scripts for boards where that feature will be safe by default could add the required commands, and users for others will be able to read the documentation for those commands decide for themselves. This keeps the default safe while giving users the nudge in the direction that you feel they will want to be headed -- eventually. --Z _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
