Changeset 10373:705c3217c69b --------------------------- dev: Refactor terminal<->UART interface to make it more generic The terminal currently assumes that the transport to the guest always inherits from the Uart class. This assumption breaks when implementing, for example, a VirtIO consoles. This patch removes this assumption by adding pointer to the from the terminal to the uart and replacing it with a more general callback interface. The Uart, or any other class using the terminal, class implements an instance of the callbacks class and registers it with the terminal.
