now that we protect all calls to the tcg-specific functions
with if (tcg_enabled()), we do not need the TCG stub anymore.

You need compile-time checks, not runtime checks. Any calls have to be 
protected by #ifdef, otherwise the compiler might bail out.

Maybe you just wanted to state it differently in this patch description.

This is not true though, tcg_enabled() is #defined as 0 if tcg is not enabled.

#define kvm_enabled()           (0)

Compiler will elide the code if after the preprocessor pass the code is:

if (0) {
}

It adds the benefit of actually checking the syntax of the code inside.

As long as the prototypes are in sight, we rely on this for i386 and ARM already, to avoid accumulating stubs.

Thanks,

Just that we are talking about the same thing:

The following will fail to compile

void main(void)
{
         if (0) {
                 return hello("Test");
         }
}

You at least need the prototypes. But I guess we still keep them and 
really only remove the stubs -- which works because the linker will 
never stumble over them.

As we keep the prototypes, this should indeed work

Yes, thjs is what I am saying.

We have all the prototypes in sight, so we are good, no need to keep the stubs.

Ciao,
