Hi,
this is a 3rd version of the patch series which adds support for
QEMU on any host by using a TCG interpreter (TCI).
Version 2 was sent to the list and is available here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2011-10/msg02504.html
The new version removed the TRACE macros which I used during development.
They are no longer needed. This fixes malc's feedback.
Patches 1, 2, 5 and 6 are only rebased.
Patch 1 is useful even without TCI and improves the handling of a
special case needed for PPC hosts.
Please tell me if I should send the complete patches to qemu-devel.
I'd appreciate if the series could be pulled before QEMU 1.0 to form
a base for further development of TCI.
I'll defer to Blue and/or Aurelien here as I don't know enough about TCG to
really review this series.
But I'd recommend waiting to pull this until after 1.1 opens up. This is the
sort of thing that 1) people are likely to actually use and 2) could use a full
development cycle of testing to get hardened before showing up in a release.
I'd feel better about pulling this into 1.0 if it was guarded by a configure
option and disabled by default just to enforce that it's an experimental feature.
