I'm not familiar with why that was done. Hopefully someone else can comment. I do know that edk2/DynamicTablesPkg/Library/Common/TableHelperLib/ConfigurationManagerObjectParser.c has arrays (StdNamespaceObjectParser and ArmNamespaceObjectParser) that need to be kept in sync with all of the namespace enums, but other than that I'm not aware of any places that need to be changes when the enums are changed. > 2) DynamicPlatformRepositoryInfo structure has ArmCmObjList and > ArmCmObjArray.

The DynamicPlatRepo currently only supports the ARM namespace, but comments such as "only Arm objects are supported for now." (line 144) seem to imply that support for more namespaces was considered. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
