Subject: [PATCH 0/5] docs/devel: improve API documentation for QOM
Date: Mon, 19 Jun 2023 18:14:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230619171437.357374-1-alex.bennee@linaro.org> (raw)

Hi,

At the recent QEMU maintainers summit we lamented the fact it was hard
to push forward with our modernising plans as legacy approaches still
get introduced into the code. A lot of knowledge about the "modern"
way of doing things is locked up in senior developers heads. Lets make
a push to improve the developer documentation and ensure best
practice is easy to find.

Some sort of parable about distribution of fishes and knowledge seems
appropriate here.

Alex Bennée (5):
  docs/devel: add some front matter to the devel index
  include/migration: mark vmstate_register() as a legacy function
  include/hw/qdev-core: fixup kerneldoc annotations (!COMPLETE)
  docs/devel: split qom-api reference into new file
  docs/devel: introduce some key concepts for QOM development
