[PATCH 1/5] define interface with vbox_common

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The vboxGlobalData and the vboxUniformedAPI is defined here. It defines
the middle layer interface. When using this file, it needs a context
to explain how *.c files treat vbox structs in vboxGlobalData(vboxObj, 
vboxSession and so on). See annotate in this file.

+/* This file may be used in three place. That is vbox_tmpl.c,
+ * vbox_common.c and vbox_driver.c. Two important things is defined
+ * here, which is vboxGlobalData and vboxUniformedAPI.
+ *
+ * The vbox_tmpl.c is the only place where the driver knows the inside
+ * architecture of those vbox structs(vboxObj, vboxSession,
+ * pFuncs, vboxCallback and vboxQueue). The file should be included
+ * after the currect vbox_CAPI_v*.h, then we can use the vbox structs
+ * in vboxGlobalData. The vbox_tmpl.c should implement functions
+ * defined in vboxUniformedAPI.
+ *
+ * In vbox_driver.c, it is used to define the struct vboxUniformedAPI.
+ * The vbox_driver.c collects vboxUniformedAPI for all versions.
+ * Then vboxRegister calls the vboxRegisterUniformedAPI to register.
+ * Note: In vbox_driver.c, the vbox structs in vboxGlobalData is
+ * defined by vbox_CAPI_v2.2.h.
+ *
+ * The vbox_common.c, it is used to generate common codes for all vbox
+ * versions. Bacause the same member varible's offset in a vbox struct
+ * may change between different vbox versions. The vbox_common.c
+ * shouldn't directly use struct's member varibles defined in
+ * vbox_CAPI_v*.h. To make things safety, we include the
+ * vbox_commondef.h in vbox_common.c. In this case, we treat structs
+ * defined by vbox as a void*. The common codes don't concern about
+ * the inside of this structs(actually, we can't, in the common level).
+ * With the help of vboxUniformed API, we call VirtualBox's API and
+ * implement the vbox driver in a high level.
+ *
+ * In conclusion:
+ *  * In vbox_tmpl.c, this file is included after vbox_CAPI_v*.h
+ *  * In vbox_driver.c, this file is included after vbox_glue.h
+ *  * In vbox_common.c, this file is included after vbox_commondef.h
