1--------------------- 2Developer Information 3--------------------- 4 5This section of the manual documents various parts of the internals of 6QEMU. You only need to read it if you are interested in reading or 7modifying QEMU's source code. 8 9QEMU is a large and mature project with a number of complex subsystems 10that can be overwhelming to understand. The development documentation 11is not comprehensive but hopefully presents enough to get you started. 12If there are areas that are unclear please reach out either via the 13IRC channel or mailing list and hopefully we can improve the 14documentation for future developers. 15 16All developers will want to familiarise themselves with 17:ref:`development_process` and how the community interacts. Please pay 18particular attention to the :ref:`coding-style` and 19:ref:`submitting-a-patch` sections to avoid common pitfalls. 20 21If you wish to implement a new hardware model you will want to read 22through the :ref:`qom` documentation to understand how QEMU's object 23model works. 24 25Those wishing to enhance or add new CPU emulation capabilities will 26want to read our :ref:`tcg` documentation, especially the overview of 27the :ref:`tcg_internals`. 28 29.. toctree:: 30 :maxdepth: 1 31 32 index-process 33 index-build 34 index-api 35 index-internals 36 index-tcg 37
