Hi, I have a really tough challenge for you: I need a global variable in v3. Global means that it has to be accessible from all of stage1/stage2 code (maybe except initram).
So far I only see one unacceptably hackish solution: Pass a pointer to the global variable to every function in the codebase. It works, but I'd rather not post a patch doing this because it violates my aesthetic sense, especially because the variable is used in only very few functions, however those are called all over the place. A possible alternative would be a getter/setter function for the variable. I have no problem with that, but the getter/setter function has to store the location of the variable somewhere, and that can't be solved except through pointer passing like above. There must be a solution out there, I just can't see it. Regards, Carl-Daniel -- coreboot mailing list [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
