All the API's and data structure that you have questions in this comment ar= e available from the submitted patch, you could run to see if it works. What I learned from your comments are a couple of API name and incomplete d= ata structure description, so I could not make my patch according to your s= uggestion. If you strongly feel the API's that you are proposing are useful for get_ri= ngparam(), please create a patch and submit it for evaluation. As coded in this patch, it's a simple and clean interface and most importan= t, it can be validated and it works. > Konstantin >=20 > > > > > > It's the desire of this patch to separate each data structure to > > > > avoid cross > > > dependency. > > > > > > That's too cryptic to me. > > > Could you explain what cross dependency you are talking about? > > > > > > Konstantin
