OProfile API discussion -- libdb/odb.h

[Maynard J. <may...@us...>]

This is the first of a series of postings intended to spur discussion of 
providing an OProfile API.  The tentative list of header files 
containing candidates for inclusion in an API are:
     libdb:    odb.h
     libop:    op_events.h, op_cpu_type.h, op_config.h, op_sample_file.h
     libutil:  op_list.h, op_types.h
     and perhaps libutil++/op_bfd.h


Aside from community agreement on an API, other issues need to be 
addressed for this to become reality.  For a minimal list of these 
requirements, see the list drawn up by John at:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=oprofile-list&m=113442925206258&w=2

In the attached file, I've analyzed libdb/odb.h and taken a first pass 
at categorizing all declarations an definitions as either "External" or 
"Internal".  Comments are appreciated.
