kconfig: improve error message for recursive dependency in choice
Kconfig detects recursive dependencies in a choice block, but the error message is unclear. [Test Code] choice prompt "choose" depends on A config A bool "A" config B bool "B" endchoice [Result] Kconfig:1:error: recursive dependency detected! Kconfig:1: choice <choice> contains symbol A Kconfig:5: symbol A is part of choice <choice> For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" The phrase "contains symbol A" does not accurately describe the problem. The issue is that the choice depends on A, which is a member of itself. The first if-block does not print a sensible message. Remove it. This commit improves the error message to: Kconfig:1:error: recursive dependency detected! Kconfig:1: symbol <choice> symbol is visible depending on A Kconfig:5: symbol A is part of choice <choice> For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>
