(2) When adding a new library instance, I seem to remember that we
recommend referring to the latest published INF spec version (and using
a decimal version reference). That would be "1.29" at this point.

https://edk2-docs.gitbooks.io/edk-ii-inf-specification/content/#edk-ii-module-information-inf-file-specification

I defer to the MdePkg maintainers on this, I just wanted to raise this.

(3) Again, just another idea that I'd like the MdePkg reviewers to
comment on:

I don't see why this library instance would not work with EBC.

However, I can also imagine we should not add EBC unless we at least
build-test the lib instance for EBC.

What is the general approach here?

(Note that I would never consider adding EBC in OvmfPkg or ArmVirtPkg
INF files, simply because I don't even know what EBC compilers exist.
But this is MdePkg, and a Null instance, so EBC *could* make sense.)

(4) Same as (1).

OK, so this actually seems to confirm my question (3). This hunk
modifies the [Components] section in the DSC file, and not the
- [Components.IA32, Components.X64],
- [Components.ARM, Components.AARCH64]
sections.

Furthermore, there is even a [Components.EBC] section in the DSC file.

So I think "EBC" is still considered a viable ARCH in MdePkg, and we're
actually enabling this lib instance for the EBC arch. Therefore, EBC
should be listed in VALID_ARCHITECTURES, in the INF File -- as long as
we care to add a VALID_ARCHITECTURES comment at all, that is.

If you agree to fix (1) through (4), you can immediately add:

Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH v2] MdePkg: add null version of RngLib
Posted by Wang, Jian J 4 years, 5 months ago
Laszlo,

Thanks for the comments. I agree all of them. Since there's still EBC listed
in SUPPORTED_ARCHITECTURES in dsc file, I don't see any reason not to add
it. But likewise, I'll leave the final decision to package maintainers.

Regards,
Jian
