[PATCH v2] kconfig: Remove menu_end_entry()

From: Ulf Magnusson
Date: Sun Oct 08 2017 - 18:16:15 EST


menu_end_entry() is empty and completely unused as far as I can tell:

$ git log -G menu_end_entry --oneline
a02f057 [PATCH] kconfig: improve error handling in the parser
1da177e Linux-2.6.12-rc2

Last one is the initial Git commit, where menu_end_entry() is empty as
well. I couldn't find anything that redefined it on Google either.

It might be a debugging helper for setting a breakpoint after each
config, menuconfig, and comment is parsed. IMO it hurts more than it
helps in that case by making the parsing code look more complicated at a
glance than it really is, and I suspect it doesn't get used much.

Tested by running the Kconfiglib test suite, which indirectly verifies
that the .config files generated by the C implementation for each
defconfig file in the kernel stays the same.

Changes in v2:
- Don't include the regenerated parser. It wouldn't be safe to pull it
directly from the patch if other changes go in before, and it might cause
unnecessary merge conflicts. Regenerate it manually instead:

$ make REGENERATE_PARSERS=1 conf
