u-boot中,if_changed函数的作用

if_changed是定义在 scripts/Kbuild.include 文件中的,

该函数,接受一个参数,作用是判断目标依赖是否有改变,如果有就执行一条shell命令

例如: $(call if_changed,u-boot-spl) 

展开后得到

$(echo-cmd) $(cmd_u-boot-spl); 

cmd_u-boot-spl这个变量需要提前定义

 

###
# if_changed - execute command if any prerequisite is newer than
# target, or command line has changed
# if_changed_dep - as if_changed, but uses fixdep to reveal dependencies
# including used config symbols
# if_changed_rule - as if_changed but execute rule instead
# See Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt for more info
