You mean add a "lin-lwp.h" which exports everything so that "linux-nat.c" can construct that vector, or conversly have "linux-nat.h" export everything so that "lin-lwp.c" can construct the vector?


Bleauh! Such a separation is artifical (although perhaphs the single file should be called inf-linux.[hc]).


Yes, that's what I meant.  I'd like to preserve the revision history
when possible.

The revision history or the existing files and their contents? The former is always available in CVS. The later, as I noted, is just an artifical separation that will complicate the objective of cleaning up this code.


I do see merit in creating an a new inf-linux.c (to be consistent with inf-ptrace, and inf-child), and I think I'll revise the patch to do that.
