Hello everybody, I want to understand the Xen source code and modify it for academic reasons. This is my first time interaction with Xen. Can anybody suggest me good resources like books or websites(just as linux has linux cross reference sites) where I can get information about latest Xen source code and development? Thanks, Mayuresh _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
Hello Mayuresh,
If you want to browse through source code easily, then I
think http://lxr.xensource.com/lxr/source/ would be a good site for
you. You can easily navigate between the source code.
As for references, I dont think there is as such any book
explaining the source code. If you come across one, do let me know
too.
Regards,
Furquan

"The Definitive Guide to the Xen Hypervisor by David Chisnall may be a good start? I have yet to order it to find out. # hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg to pull a snapshot of the latest source code.

I would pick up a copy of The Definitive Guide to the Xen Hypervisor by
David Chisnall. This is the best book available for serious developers
working on Xen.

Mark, I think the book you mentioned has theroetical details,But there are many changes in the source code and that too very significant which are made to the source code after the book has been written.
