[Qemu-devel] May I get a document about detailed architecture of QEMU

[Qemu-devel] May I get a document about detailed architecture of QEMU

[linemin2001]

Hello,

I have a lot of interests in QEMU. 
I want to learn how qemu work in detail.
But, the source code are huge, which let me confused where i should start from. 
So, may i request for a detail document of QEMU detailed architecture for source code.

Try
http://www.usenix.org/publications/library/proceedings/usenix05/tech/freenix/bellard.html

and don't miss:
http://libvncserver.sourceforge.net/qemu/qemu-porting.html

Both those documents are quite old, and a lot of the information is out of 
date.

The problem is those docs are quite out-of-date. Would be very useful
if somebody writes about the new architecture (like TCG, ....) to
update them.

In recent version of Xen, the developers write up (a bit, but still
very useful) to introduce each single new feature of the new release.
Would that be wonderful if we can do the same thing when something
important is merged???

Thanks,
Jun

And to update information about new features, how about having a blog
for community/developers of QEMU? Like what Xen is doing now.

http://blog.qemu.org, for example.

I'd rather developers spent their time writing code.  There is more than 
enough info on the mailing list, discussed in #qemu on IRC, and within 
the code.  You just have to put the time into digging it up.

Forgot to mention this README too:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/qemu/tcg/README?root=qemu&view=markup

for those (like me ) who wants to understand more about TCG
