I don't like where we're going with Misc objects. I don't see why "regular" Misc objects (those added by OS backends) should be handled/ignored differently just because "user-added" Misc objects have special requirements. As I said in the past, we're trying to address 2 different issues. I said we could have a "Group" type to replace the current meaning of "Misc" and keep "Misc" for user-added objects only. A better solution for backward compatibility would be to keep current "Misc" objects as is, and change user-added objects to a new type such as HWLOC_OBJ_USER or CUSTOM. Then only the later needs a quirk in the ignore code. By the way, instead of delaying the release while we discuss this and wait for your fix, we could mark hwloc_topology_insert_misc*() as experimental or even undocument it for now, release 1.0-rc1, and bring it back later if/when it's ready.
