I don't think this is a useful investment of our time now. If somebody finds time/funding/resources for any major reimplementations in this area, it should be spent on a unified CTRL+VTY configuration system - which for sure will [have to have] a proper parser. > This would probably allow us to automatically generate docs for it as well. I don't really see how we can automatically generate documentation? You would still register individual control commands/nodes from application code, and not from the generated parser in libosmocore. -- - Harald Welte <[email protected]> http://laforge.gnumonks.org/ ============================================================================ "Privacy in residential applications is a desirable marketing option."
