[Mesa-dev] RFC: Whimsical renames and code motion

[Kristian Høgsberg]

Hi,

I wrote this patch series a while ago, but now that 7.9 is out I
thought I'd float it on the list to see what people think.  The first
couple of patches kill off glcore.h, which is no longer used for any
external interfaces, and pull the struct into mtypes.h.  The next
couple of patches massage it a bit to drop fields we don't use and
rename it and it's many typedefs to just struct gl_config.  The patch
series finishes with two patches to drop the GLframebuffer and
GLcontext typedefs and just use struct gl_framebuffer and struct
gl_context instead.  The last patch is 2MB, so I'll just point you to
the branch in my repo:

  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~krh/mesa/log/?h=whimsical-renames

and this output:

The last two renames are quite a mouthful, but I think they make a lot
of sense and makes the mesa types more consistent; consistent with
themselves (no other mesa structs have typedefs) and other code
(gallium doesn't typedef structs and neither does most of the dri
drivers (struct radeon_framebuffer, struct intel_context etc)).
