There is no such ABI in Kconfig. > I know you don't care much for such out-of-kernel usage, still, this > (and the previous commit) feels like superficial reshuffling of code > and perhaps it's worth not breaking things unless there is something > substantial to gain? > > [1] > https://github.com/build2/libbuild2-kconfig/blob/master/libbuild2-kconfig/libbuild2/kconfig/init.cxx#L938 confdata.c is linked to all flavors of Kconfig (conf, mconf, gconf, and qconf). conf_set_all_new_symbols() and randomize_choice_values() are apparently only used by the text-base conf. They need to go to the correct location. -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
