Thanks.

I wanted to pick up this patch, but
could not find it in the patchwork
(https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-kbuild/list/)
despite you apparently CC'ed the kbuild ML.

Do you know why?
(I do not know if the kbuild/kernel ML requires subscription...)



If you have a chance for re-submission,
can you change the code like follows?

     depfile_prefix_len = ((tmp = strrchr(name, '/'))) ? (tmp - name) + 1 : 0;


     tmp = tmp = strrchr(name, '/');
     depfile_prefix_len = tmp ? tmp - name + 1 : 0;


Too many parentheses make the code unreadable.
