[Xen-devel] [PATCH XEN v6 04/32] tools/Rules.mk: Properly handle libraries with recursive dependencies.



In tree libraries which link against other in tree libraries in a way
which is opaque to their callers need special handling, specifically
correct use of -Wl,-rpath-link for the recusively used libraries.

Currently this is rather simple, but up coming changes are going to
introduce transitive dependencies more than 1 step deep.

Introduce a SHDEPS idiom to contain all the recursive deps for a
library and include those in both LDLIBS (for linking) and SHLIB (for
recursive uses).

Try and document the whole thing.

v5: Handled rebase over removal of stray L in rpath-link.
v4: Unmanged description of libbaz.

+# Compiling and linking against in tree libraries.
+#
+# In order to compile and link against an in-tree library various
+# cpp/compiler/linker options are required.
+#
+# For example consider a library "libfoo" which itself uses two other
+# libraries:
+#  libbar - whose use is entirely internal to libfoo and not exposed
+#           to users of libfoo at all.
+#  libbaz - whose use is entirely internal to libfoo but libfoo's
+#           public headers include one or more of libbaz's
+#           public headers. Users of libfoo are therefore transitively
+#           using libbaz's header but not linking against libbaz.
+#
+# SHDEPS_libfoo: Flags for linking recursive dependencies of
+#                libfoo. Must contain SHLIB for every library which
+#                libfoo links against. So must contain both
+#                $(SHLIB_libbar) and $(SHLIB_libbaz).
+#
+# SHLIB_libfoo: Flags for recursively linking against libfoo. Must
+#               contains SHDEPS_libfoo and:
+#                   -Wl,-rpath-link=<directory containing libfoo.so>
+#
+# CFLAGS_libfoo: Flags for compiling against libfoo. Must add the
+#                directories containing libfoo's headers to the
+#                include path. Must recursively include
+#                $(CFLAGS_libbaz), to satisfy the transitive inclusion
+#                of the headers but not $(CFLAGS_libbar) since none of
+#                libbar's headers are required to build against
+#                libfoo.
+#
+# LDLIBS_libfoo: Flags for linking against libfoo. Must contain
+#                $(SHDEPS_libfoo) and the path to libfoo.so
+#
+# Consumers of libfoo should include $(CFLAGS_libfoo) and
+# $(LDLIBS_libfoo) in their appropriate directories. They should not
+# include any CFLAGS or LDLIBS relating to libbar or libbaz unless
+# they use those libraries directly (not via libfoo) too.
+#
+# Consumers of libfoo should not directly use $(SHDEPS_libfoo) or
