This section of the manual documents various parts of the internals of
|
|
|
|
QEMU. You only need to read it if you are interested in reading or
|

|
|
modifying QEMU's source code.

|
|
QEMU is a large and mature project with a number of complex subsystems
|
|
|
|
that can be overwhelming to understand. The development documentation
|
|
|
|
is not comprehensive but hopefully presents enough to get you started.
|
|
|
|
If there are areas that are unclear please reach out either via the
|
|
|
|
IRC channel or mailing list and hopefully we can improve the
|
|
|
|
documentation for future developers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All developers will want to familiarise themselves with
|
|
|
|
:ref:`development_process` and how the community interacts. Please pay
|
|
|
|
particular attention to the :ref:`coding-style` and
|
|
|
|
:ref:`submitting-a-patch` sections to avoid common pitfalls.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you wish to implement a new hardware model you will want to read
|
|
|
|
through the :ref:`qom` documentation to understand how QEMU's object
|
|
|
|
model works.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Those wishing to enhance or add new CPU emulation capabilities will
|
|
|
|
want to read our :ref:`tcg` documentation, especially the overview of
|
|
|
|
the :ref:`tcg_internals`.
