[parted-devel] Architecture specific components

[Debarshi 'Rishi' Ray]

The function ped_set_architecture has been declared as:

    /* the architecture can't be changed if there are any PedDevice's.
     * i.e. you should only be doing this if it's the FIRST thing you do...
     */
    extern int ped_set_architecture (const PedArchitecture* arch);

...in include/parted/parted.h, while it has been defined and only used
in libparted/libparted.c.

Is it a good idea to expose it to application programs using
libparted? Or should we restrict it within the library as is done for
the ped_disk_*_init, ped_file_system_*_init, etc. functions?

Similarly for ped_architecture, declared as:
    extern const PedArchitecture*   ped_architecture;

Can't we just declare it as extern within the *.c files which are
going to use it?

Happy hacking,
Debarshi
