Some headers should be rewritten

[korli]

Here is a list in headers/os. They should be reported in headers/build/.

headers/os/be_apps/NetPositive/NetPositive.h

headers/os/drivers/atomizer.h
headers/os/drivers/ISA.h
headers/os/drivers/PCI.h

[axeld]

I just rewrote TrackerAddOn.h and kernel/image.h. net_settings.h can probably be removed, as we don't support that API anymore. When we want to distribute headers as well (ie. a developer environment for Haiku) we should have replaced all Be headers with our own.

[jackburton]

I rewrote DirectWindow.h. Should we keep track of the headers which are already rewritten in some way ?

[korli]

Yeah, just add a "Done" section in the description and move the header from the current list to this section. It should be good enough :) Thanks for looking into this.

[jackburton]

By the way, do we really need all the headers reported in headers/build ? At least, I guess we don't need the whole interface kit.

Replying to jackburton:

Nope, feel free to remove whatever is not needed.

[jackburton]

Is BMultiChannelControl used anywhere ? To me it looks like an older version of BChannelControl/BChannelSlider interface. We might decide to just drop it and stick with the latter.

Input.h done.

[jackburton]

TextView.h was rewritten in hrev22688 by Vasilis Kaoutsis.

[julun]

PrintJob.h done in hrev24684

[korli]

These headers have been rewritten: headers/os/add-ons/input_server/InputServerDevice.h headers/os/interface/ChannelControl.h headers/os/media/BufferGroup.h headers/os/media/MediaFormats.h headers/os/media/Sound.h

[jackburton]

More headers done: headers/os/interface/MultiChannelControl.h, headers/os/interface/ChannelSlider.h, headers/os/app/PropertyInfo.h, headers/os/media/Buffer.h, headers/os/media/BufferConsumer.h, headers/os/media/TimeSource.h

[axeld]

Translation Kit headers done.

[stippi]

Going after more of the MediaKit headers from top to bottom...

[stippi]

Last of the MediaKit headers rewritten. I am going to let it rest for a while. Help greatly appreciated, it's not rocket since.

[jackburton]

I'm taking care of the device headers.

[jackburton]

Do we really need to keep NetPositive.h ? I don't think we implement this functionality anywhere.

[axeld]

I guess mmu_man wouldn't like if he couldn't build BeHappy anymore. But I wouldn't mind to remove it, and have this (rewritten) header as part of NetSurf instead (since it seems to adhere to this interface, AFAIK).

Embedding HTML in applications won't work via replicants in the future, but a BHTMLView, anyway.

[axeld]

Did bus_manager.h, and USB_printer.h.

[axeld]

Rewrote USB_rle.h, USB_spec.h, and midi_driver.h in hrev32901. I won't have the time to rewrite any other headers before the alpha release.
