[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Put all trace.o into libqemuutil.a

[Xu, Anthony]

Put all trace.o into libqemuutil.a

Currently all trace.o are linked into qemu-system, qemu-img, 
qemu-nbd, qemu-io etc., even the corresponding components 
are not included.
Put all trace.o into libqemuutil.a that the linker would only pull in .o 
files containing symbols that are actually referenced by the 
program.

I think this change conflicts with some of the guest code tracing patches I have
in the queue (I won't be able to send the new series until the end of the month,
sorry).

AFAIR, some of my patches need to link different code for utils and qemu's main
binaries. Although there might be a better way of doing it that I missed.


Cheers,
  Lluis

I don't know the details of your unsent patches, but one possible
solution is stubs/* where we stub out functions that are unavailable in
tools.  That way the same code links in the main QEMU program and in
utils.

When the code runs in utils, it either doesn't take the code path that
reaches the stub function or it calls the stub and continues unaware
that the call was a noop.

If you want to discuss further, feel free to post an RFC preview series
of your work in progress.

Thanks, applied to my tracing-next tree:

I fixed up the patch when applying it.  Comments below:

Please use the "trace: " prefix for tracing patches.

All components of QEMU have commonly used prefixes that make it easy to
identify which area a patch affects.  People reading the mailing list or
grepping through git logs rely on this.

Please use git-format-patch(1) to send correctly formatted patches in
the future.  git-am(1) was unable to apply your email and I had to do it
manually.
