From: Nicholas Mc Guire on 22 Apr 2010 12:20 HI ! doing a series of static code analysis on 2.6.34-rcX each of them with defconfig (x86 32bit) - the strangeness is that even though the config file is the same for rc3...5 the number of files actually compiled is very different. (linux-2.6 git tree) 2.6.34-rc5 1695 2.6.34-rc4 3404 2.6.34-rc3 5109 I diffed the .configs - rc4/rc5 only shows 3,4c3,4 < # Linux kernel version: 2.6.34-rc4 < # Thu Apr 22 11:37:43 2010 --- > # Linux kernel version: 2.6.34-rc5 > # Thu Apr 22 10:44:02 2010 why then this large difference in files being compiled ? any hint apprecieated. thx! hofrat -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo(a)vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

I guess it would be due to some dependences. Use the way that you used to find the number of compiled files to find which files are compiled, make a sorted list and do a diff.
