Xen Development Environment

Xen Development Environment

[Ahmed Moneeb Azab]

Hi all,

I wonder if there is a certain development environment that has been 
commonly used to develop the Xen code. I am currently trying to play 
around with the code and it take me a while to figure out the relations 
between different variables and functions.

I am also wondering if there exist any specification of explanation for 
the source architecture, like some published design document that tells 
which module is doing what function.

Hi ahmed,

                It would be very useful to have such IDEs for xen. But the sad news is, nothing of that sort has come up yet.
(May be YES. If so let me know).

I use mercurial to pull latest the xen code and DOXYGEN to generate code graphs which has eased my pain, not completely though.

As you said Im finding it very hard to figure out what is happening inside the xen world.

regards,
Dinesh C
