Thanks for taking a crack at this! There are a couple other people (I put them in the Cc) who have talked about doing this so thank you for sending the announcement!<br>
<br>
My primary request as you dive into this would be that you do things in such a way that we can have a fairly tight feedback loop. I think both Ken and myself have a pretty clear idea of what things should look like when you're done and I'd like to avoid any chance that you send a 50 patch series and then get told to go back through the whole thing and make some mechanical change.<br>
<br>
One other comment: look at blorp. It's already using genxml with the i965 driver although there's a but of an abstraction layer there. It should give you a decent idea about how to make a brw_emit() macro by combining things and removing the abstraction.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
As to avoid any duplicate work, I want to inform everyone that I'm in<br>
the process of modifying the i965 driver so that it uses the same<br>
genxml infrastructure that the one used by the Intel Vulkan driver. The<br>
task has been proposed by Jason Ekstrand. <br>
<br>
I will probably post my first patchset today that will contain the<br>
basic call to replace the BEGIN_BATCH/ADVANCE_BATCH macros and the XML<br>
specification files for generations 4, 4.5 and 5.<br>
<br>
Let me know if you have any question or suggestion related to this<br>
work.<br>
<br>
