Subject: [Qemu-devel] Breaking up vl.h
Date: Sat, 17 Nov 2007 17:13:48 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200711171713.49528.paul@codesourcery.com> (raw)

I just applied a patch that breaks up and removes vl.h

My strategy (as discussed previously) is to split the contents along 
functional lines, and hardware split along bus/machine boundaries..

In order to avoid lots of little header files it makes fairly extensive use of 
opaque structure pointers. This allows e.g. network and display controllers 
to be prototyped in the same header without requiring all users to include 
net.h and console.h.

It's not perfect, but I'm reasonably happy with how it ended up. There's some 
scope for splitting things up further, but I tended to err on the size of a 
few big includes.

Paul
