[PATCH v2 04/38] refs: add a backend method structure

From
Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
Date
Sep 4, 2016, 16:08 UTC
Message-ID
<4da46c8dfa4b7ec13927ca8597b64ffff7de4430.1473003902.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1473003902.git.mhagger@alum.mit.edu>
From: Ronnie Sahlberg <sahlberg@google.com>

Add a `struct ref_storage_be` to represent types of reference stores. In OO notation, this is the class, and will soon hold some class methods (e.g., a factory to create new ref_store instances) and will also serve as the vtable for ref_store instances of that type.

As yet, the backends cannot do anything.
