v4: - new patch removing get_typedefs() from the existing script (and thus also removing it from the new script) - Adding some optimisation, mainly pre-compile regex It's slightly faster. v3: - Rewrite script into python instead of perl. (last patch of the series) v2: - new patch [1/4] to fix issue with command line that can be way too long - other small changes, and reorder patches Hi, This patch series is about 2 improvement. First one is to use $(if_changed, ) in "include/Makefile" to make the generation of the compat headers less verbose and to have the command line part of the decision to rebuild the headers. Second one is to replace one slow script by a much faster one, and save time when generating the headers. Thanks.
