I'll be on the i18n("Semesteranfangsfreizeit") of the local SMD group until Sunday. My wife and I will not take the train (or car) as everyone else does, but ride our bikes over the mountains.

So don't expect any more comments on my last blog entry...

I am about to get rid of the core/ui split of the Phonon libraries. As you can see, a GUI application that only uses functionality from phononcore does not really benefit from the split:

objdump -T libphononcore.so|grep "\.text"|wc -l

617

objdump -T libphononui.so|grep "\.text"|wc -l

127

You might argue about the non-GUI apps that want to use Phonon. But seriously, what apps are those?

If you want to, you can still try to convince me that the split adds value. But you have to make some really good arguments to justify the added complexity on the frontend and backend sides and the added exported symbols that are necessary for it.
