[vbox-dev] [PATCH] CPU exec cap in GUI

[Alexey Eromenko]

Updated patch. (much cleaned up, only 18K instead of 27K)

Some questions:
1. Frontends/VirtualBox/src/globals/VBoxGlobal.cpp
line 1649:
                      + QString (sSectionItemTpl2).arg (tr
("Processor(s)", "details report"),
                                                        tr
("<nobr>%1</nobr>", "details report"))
                        .arg (aMachine.GetCPUCount())
What it does, regarding to SMP ?
2. So far I can't make it run-time change compatible.
2.a. The above forced me to remove proposed patch for
"Frontends/VirtualBox/src/runtime/UIIndicatorsPool.cpp"

+        int cpuCap = console.GetMachine().GetCPUExecutionCap();
+        tip += QApplication::translate("UIIndicatorsPool",
"<br><nobr><b>%1:</b>&nbsp;%2 %</nobr>", "Virtualization Stuff LED")

         int cpuCount = console.GetMachine().GetCPUCount();
         if (cpuCount > 1)
             tip += QApplication::translate("UIIndicatorsPool",
"<br><nobr><b>%1:</b>&nbsp;%2</nobr>", "Virtualization Stuff LED")

The problem, is that if the use changes the CPU cap value from
VBoxManage CLI, it doesn't get updated in the indicator. I couldn't
find the right Qt slot/signal to fix real-time updates.

So doing:
$ VBoxManage controlvm "Windows XP immu 03" cpuexecutioncap 45
changes the main GUI summary, but not the UI indicator.

Best wishes,
