[Qemu-devel] [RFC] [tcg] Idea on refactoring target code generation loop (gen_intermediate_code)

[Lluís Vilanova]

Hi,

NOTE: I won't be throwing patches anytime soon, I just want to know if there's
      interest in this for the future.

While adding events for tracing guest instructions, I've found that the
per-target "gen_intermediate_code()" function is very similar but not exactly
the same for each of the targets. This makes architecture-agnostic features
harder to maintain across targets, specially when it comes to their relative
order.

So, would it be worth it if I generalized part of that code into an
architecture-agnostic function that calls into target-specific hooks wherever it
needs extending? There are many ways to do it that we can discuss later.


Cheers,
  Lluis
