Re: [Qemu-devel] Port to IRIX host

[Fabrice Bellard]

Thank you for the mips port and the documentation. Just one remark 
before merging your patch: could you distinguish the IRIX specific parts 
from the mips specific ones ? I saw you used '#ifdef __mips__' at places 
where it may be in fact IRIX specific code.

Another note: for MIPS, using an alternate (embedded ?) ABI may give 
simpler code for op.o, in particular for the 'op parameters' and for the 
function calls. Did you look at this ?

I can add your documentation in a new doc/ directory in QEMU. Do you 
have other ideas ?

Fabrice.
