Hi,
I looked at https://github.com/96boards/meta-rpb/blame/rocko/recipes-overlayed/kselftes… today and noticed a common anti-pattern:
FOO += “bar”
FOO += “quix”
FOO += “something”
Please stop doing that and use this instead:
FOO = “bar \
quix \
something \
“
In OE += is a heavy operation that really slows down parsing due to the all the expansion and override roundtrips needed, so please stop abusing it as a way to do multiline variables. Thanks!
