I find the non-C++ version easier to read even. Yeah, while we're writing in C we should just stick to the C-like APIs, it's less confusing IMHO than wrapping it up in something else. I assume Anthony's new object model stuff will have a "create me a new foo object" API anyway, so QEMU_NEW() is possibly a bit of a namespace grab. -- PMM -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
