Thanks, > One side of the coin is trying to create one generic interface instead of multiple specific interfaces. The other side is that by providing a generic interface, you sometimes expose internal implementation details, or you constrain future development in order to preserve that interface. If the generic interface is not actually exploited, you get pain for no gain. This tradeoff is different for every feature. Right now I'm leaning towards specialized interfaces here, because we expose quite a lot of low-level detail. However I'll review v8 soon and see. -- error compiling committee.c: too many arguments to function -- 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
