And they should now, after my patches. I want to see yours again, updated against the current master. :) > Note that I'm not keen on the idea of an ABI for OpenOCD, we need > more flexibility and less commitment than that, but I think the goal > can be a good design influence. For your platform, you can forget about the ABI. For shared libraries, it is important.... However, I agree that "commitment" to the ABI should not be something to consider until 1.0 (or even 2.0...). Striving to create a stable ABI, however, will improve the code, and that is the real goal here. It's about architectural correctness, and inline functions are _not_ necessary for good performance. I feel very confident that your requirement for them could be eliminated by using better algorithms in the JTAG layer, and you would still see better performance than you get today. Sure, that entails far more work, but the price to get correctness in design is higher than that required to reach correctness in function. --Z _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
