Nice, it looks like this didn't end up being too bad to go in this direction. It seems like this is an optional "also emit the events here" function you can set. I think in the long run we could actually just always emit the events to this function. And then we could wrap that to provide an interface that matches the existing callbacks (just an event-stream callback that sees EVENT_ENTRY and calls the sub-callback). But that might end up quite a pain, since we have a zillion entry points into the config parser, making wrapping tough. So I'm perfectly happy to stop here for now. > +static inline int do_event(enum config_event_t type, > + struct parse_event_data *data) I'm not sure if "inline" here is a good idea, as it seems to get called quite a few times. If we're trying to make things fast, bloating the instruction cache may have the opposite effect. -Peff
