Sorry, I am puzzled by the description. A configuration file may specify `--option=file` and `@cfg`. Can you clarify which "file" you mean? > Configuration parameters may be logically partitioned > into caterories (like 'platform variant' and 'processor variant') and it > is convenient to have different configuration files for these > categories maintained separately. Similar motivation was described in > https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-adding-a-default-file-location-to-config-file-support/63606. > Simple file inclusion by @file does not help, because in this case the > path to file is specified relative to the directory of the used > configuration file, but it actually is not dependent on the latter. Using > absolute paths is not convenient and it still do not allow user to > easily override the settings. If the intention is to have `@cfg` in a configuration file to be resolved relative to `--config-system-dir` or `--config-user-dir=`. Please describe the new semantics, then mention the rationale. An example in `clang/docs/UsersManual.rst` will help. ================ Comment at: clang/include/clang/Driver/Options.td:909 +def search_config_dirs : Flag<["--"], "search-config-dirs">, Flags<[NoXarchOption]>, + HelpText<"Search for files included by configuration file is search directories">; def coverage : Flag<["-", "--"], "coverage">, Group<Link_Group>, Flags<[CoreOption]>; ---------------- I am confused by the help text.
