With sandbox these values depend on the host system. Let's assume that it
is x86_64 for now.

Why not

#elif defined(CONFIG_X86) || (defined(CONFIG_SANDBOX) &&
defined(__x86_64__))

and similar for other architectures? That way we should be quite safe in
determining our target architecture, no?

I suspect that would work, although I think it would need to be done
centrally, rather than ad-hoc in files that need to know the sandbox
host architecture.

We are not currently aware of the sandbox host architecture, but I
wonder whether we are going to have to teach the build system about
it. Does U-Boot sandbox actually run on ARM platforms? I have not
tried it.

Regards,
Simon

I haven't tried it either, but IMHO it's a bug if it doesn't run :).

I also don't quite understand why CONFIG_SANDBOX contradicts CONFIG_X86.
They probably should both be set for an x86 host system. That way you
wouldn't have to double-check these conditionals all over the code base.

Well until someone tests it, it doesn't work. Any changes made to
attempt to make it work without testing are just conjecture, IMO.

The point here is that they are separate U-Boot architectures.

What I'm getting at is that in U-Boot we have the concept of a host
architecture and we can use HOSTCC. But with sandbox this takes on a
lot more meaning, since the host architecture is actually the one on
which sandbox is running.

So you could say that we have ARM sandbox or x86_64 sandbox. At
present we have not such concept. I can see that it could be useful as
things get more complicated.

I suppose whoever tries U-Boot sandbox out on ARM first will hit there
problems and send a patch?

Simon
