Hi, Yeah, I agree with you. The conversion will take some effort, but it could payoff in the long run. Perhaps we can achieve this in two steps:
1, Change nested function definition to accept only one parameter. For function with multiple parameters, place them in a structure and pass the pointer. This would eliminate NESTED_FUNC_ATTR, as the regparm issue won't occur in function with only one parameter. 2. Eliminate nested function. This would be easier after step 1. As we now pass parameters in a structure, we can append extra variables at the end, and cast it to the required type. Inside the callback function, we cast it back to use the extra fields.
