At least in the case of amdgpu, it's more like nobody's getting paid to write/maintain register header files by hand full-time. I hope you can agree nobody should have to do that. The headers are generated from the same database used for other OSes, which minimizes the potential for error. We used hand-written headers in the radeon driver, and there was a fair number of bugs due to subtle errors in them. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Mesa and X developer _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
