The distinction between 'ipc.h' and 'ipc_generic.h' is no more. The only
use case for platform-specific extensions of the IPC support was the
marshalling of capabilities. However, this case is accommodated by a
function interface ('_marshal_capability', '_unmarshal_capability'). By
moving the implementation of these functions from the headers into the
respective ipc libraries, we can abandon the platform-specific 'ipc.h'
headers.
This repository contains dummy implementations of platform-specific Genode APIs to enable the compilation of Genode for the host platform. Because the repository provides only dummy implementations, most of the generated binaries will not work. However, the repository serves two important purposes. It documents the platform- specific APIs that must be filled out when porting Genode to another platform, and it is the build environment for unit tests executed on the host platform.
