I apologize, I KNOW I selected 'plain text'.
my gut feeling is that
gd->jt[XF_foo] = foo;should happen at the end of the file which defines foo. This would remove the need for external definitions and ifdef mazes. But it would require some sort of jt_init function to be called in each file. This could be done using some linker magic (like module initialization in the kernel, or cli functions in u-boot)...
I suppose that is one solution. "Linker magic" is beyond me, but would be very clean.
This #ifdef maze is too much even for my standards. And
that does
mean something.
I didn't think it was that maze-like. The ifdefs are NOT nested, and I gouped all of the functions with the same ifdefs together in a reaonable order. Also, the ifdefs were removed from _exports.h and exports.h because they are not needed there, only when initializing the jump table in exports.c. But yes, that leads to a lot of them. I was just thinking about this and I was going to propose something else, but I think that by splitting up the jump table initialization, it gets even messier.
