>Description</H2
><P
>The state of a <SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>CDL</SPAN
> configuration option is a somewhat complicated
concept. This state determines what happens when a build tree is
generated: it controls what files get built and what
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>#define's</TT
> end up in configuration header files. The
state also controls the values used during expression evaluation. The
key concepts are:</P
><P
></P
><OL
TYPE="1"
><LI
><P
>An option may or may not be loaded into the current configuration.
However it is still possible for packages to reference options which
are not loaded in a <SPAN
CLASS="PROPERTY"
>requires</SPAN
> constraint or other expression. If an
option is not loaded then it will have no direct effect on the build
process, and <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>0</TT
> will be used for expression
evaluation. </P
></LI
><LI
><P
>Even if an option is loaded it may still be inactive. Usually this is
controlled by the option's location in the configuration hierarchy. If
an option's parent is active and enabled then the option will normally
be active. If the parent is either inactive or disabled then the
option will be inactive. For example, if kernel timeslicing is diabled
then the option <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>CYGNUM_KERNEL_SCHED_TIMESLICE_TICKS</TT
>
is irrelevant and must have no effect. The <SPAN
CLASS="PROPERTY"
>active_if</SPAN
> property can be
used to specify additional constraints. If an option is inactive then
it will have no direct effect on the build process, in other words it
will not cause any files to get built or <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>#define's</TT
>
to be generated. For the purposes of expression evaluation an inactive
option has a value of <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>0</TT
>.</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>An option may be enabled or disabled. Most options are boolean in
nature, for example a particular function may get inlined or it may
involve a full procedure call. If an option is disabled then it has no
direct effect on the build process, and for the purposes of expression
evaluation it has a value of 0.</P
></LI
><LI
><P
>An option may also have additional data associated with it, for
example a numerical value used to control the size of an array.</P
></LI
></OL
><P
>Most options are boolean in nature and do not have any additional
associated data. For some options only the data part makes sense and
users should be unable to manipulate the enabled/disabled part of the
state. For a comparatively small number of options it makes sense to
have the ability to disable that option or to enable it and associate
data as well. Finally, when constructing an option hierarchy it is
occasionally useful to have entities which serve only as placeholders.
The <SPAN
CLASS="PROPERTY"
>flavor</SPAN
> property can be used to control all this. There are four
possible values. It should be noted that the active or inactive state
of an option takes priority over the flavor: if an option is inactive
then no <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>#define's</TT
> will be generated and any
build-related properties such as <SPAN
CLASS="PROPERTY"
>compile</SPAN
> will be ignored.</P

><P
>The <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>none</TT
> is intended primarily for placeholder
components in the hierarchy, although it can be used for other
purposes. Options with this flavor are always enabled and do not have
any additional data associated with them, so there is no way for users
to modify the option. For the purposes of expression evaluation an
option with flavor <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>none</TT
> always has the value
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>1</TT
>. Normal <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>#define</TT
> processing
will take place, so typically a single <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"

be generated using the option name and a value of
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"

<SPAN

build-related properties such as <SPAN
CLASS="PROPERTY"

purposes of expression evaluation a disabled option has the value
<TT

<TT

appropriate contexts such as expressions the configuration tools will
attempt to interpret the data as integer or floating point numbers.
Since an option with the <TT

disabled, normal <TT

evaluation the option's value is <TT

default, but this can be changed as desired. Packages always have the
<TT

Interfaces have the <TT

the value of an interface is a count of the number of active and
enabled interfaces, but they can be given the <TT
