Subject: [PATCH v2 3/3] kconfig: show continuation at the end of wrapped lines
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 17:35:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110173526.1548434-4-julianbraha@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110173526.1548434-1-julianbraha@gmail.com>
Add a visible continuation '\' to the end of each wrapped line.
This is because some line wraps are not otherwise obvious to the reader,
for example if a line ends with a symbol name instead of an operator.
(Below example uses an 80-column terminal)
Here, it would be less obvious without '\' (GPIO_TQMX86):
Depends on: GPIOLIB [=y] && (MFD_TQMX86 [=y] || COMPILE_TEST [=y]) \
&& HAS_IOPORT_MAP [=y]
