There is an internal buffer in bionic for user/group names that is 32 characters long including the trailing null, so we must restrict the length of these names during compile time. Bug: 27999086 Test: Successfully compile a valid config.fs Test: Fail to compile a config.fs with AID name > 31 characters Change-Id: I7fe887c630dd4d1033b86a5d8332480eb3b0fa07
Android Make Build System
This is the Makefile-based portion of the Android Build System.
For documentation on how to run a build, see Usage.txt
For a list of behavioral changes useful for Android.mk writers see Changes.md
For an outdated reference on Android.mk files, see build-system.html. Our Android.mk files look similar, but are entirely different from the Android.mk files used by the NDK build system. When searching for documentation elsewhere, ensure that it is for the platform build system -- most are not.
This Makefile-based system is in the process of being replaced with Soong, a new build system written in Go. During the transition, all of these makefiles are read by Kati, and generate a ninja file instead of being executed directly. That's combined with a ninja file read by Soong so that the build graph of the two systems can be combined and run as one.
