- Subject: plugins callbacks and data
Hello All
In the current plugin API, the function register_callback is used to
register callback routines (eg PLUGIN_FINISH_UNIT) in which case the
callback is expected to be a routine. But this same function
register_callback is used also to register some data to plugins, without
any call back functions, eg for PLUGIN_PASS_MANAGER_SETUP.
Perhaps we could have two different functions:
1. register_callback like before for true callbacks
and
2. register_data for registering data, like for
PLUGIN_PASS_MANAGER_SETUP or PLUGIN_INFO, declared as
void register_data (const char *plugin_name,
enum plugin_event event,,
void* user_data);
?
What do you think?
BTW, tjhe current gcc/doc/plugins.texi don't mention PLUGIN_INFO, unless
I am mistaken. And the enum plugin_event
there is not the same as in gcc-plugins.h
Regards.
