No, if anything it *adds* a bunch of checks :) Renaming the function won't work because then the compiler will complain about it being unused. Unless you meant something like /* Delete once done */ ValidateControllerPCIOld() { /* Existing checks here */ } ValidateControllerPCI() { /* New checks here */ /* Delete once done */ ValidateControllerPCIOld(); } which could actually do the trick. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
