Dating the from time when we had both the QEMU & generic remote protocol there are tiny qemud/protocol.{x,c,h} files basically just containing one struct for the packet header. This is more or less duplicated in the remote protocol & with a few small tweaks can simplify this code. So the attached patch removes the protocol.{x,c,h} files. The qemud.c file in the 'receive header' branch now merely reads a single 4 byte unsigned int to discover the packet length. The rest of the packet is dealt with in the 'receive payload' branch. It immediately dispatches to the remote program. There is no wire format change here - shouuld just be code cleanup a/qemud/protocol.c | 17 -------------- a/qemud/protocol.h | 39 -------------------------------- a/qemud/protocol.x | 40 --------------------------------- qemud/Makefile.am | 5 ---- qemud/internal.h | 1 qemud/qemud.c | 57 +++++++++++++++--------------------------------- qemud/remote.c | 2 - qemud/remote_protocol.h | 1 qemud/remote_protocol.x | 3 ++ src/Makefile.am | 1 10 files changed, 24 insertions(+), 142 deletions(-) Dan. -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=|
