Status on re-factorings

Hi all, I have continued with my refactorings and mostly done: * Remove global state (e.g. the global lists for ta, sba, tbf, bts * Add back-pointers to tbf, trx, pdch which will allow to kill methods that take trx, ts as parameters. * Started to use C++ classes and functions. * Stop poking of internals from other classes areas (gprs_rlcmac_data is still in front of me and the most hairy part). I will probably need to spend another 40h on this code to finally have structure in it. Once this is done I will add counters and rate counters, improve the VTY inspection... and then I can search for the actual defects we are experiencing. While doing the refactorings I noticed that both pcu_l1_if.cpp and sysmo_sock.cpp have different ways to reset the BTS/PCU state. Both of them have different issues and are both incomplete. It is the perfect example where structure would have saved timed and made the code more reliable at the same time. I am going to work on gprs_rlcmac_data.cpp and while my refactorings so far where low risk.. the risk will increase when touching and structuring the above, e.g. it is hard to judge if the difference in the code-clones is on purpose or actually a bug. There will be only one way to find it out though. I am afraid that I have 52 commits compares to master and I am only half way done. Review and changing directions will be quite difficult at this point in time. holger -- - Holger Freyther <hfreyther(a)sysmocom.de> http://www.sysmocom.de/ ======================================================================= * sysmocom - systems for mobile communications GmbH * Schivelbeiner Str. 5 * 10439 Berlin, Germany * Sitz / Registered office: Berlin, HRB 134158 B * Geschaeftsfuehrer / Managing Directors: Holger Freyther, Harald Welte
