That would be awsome. I'd defenately check it out, because I'm really interested to see how syscall/sysret compares to the current way of doing syscalls. Maybe somebody can comment on the speed increase that was gained by replacing int80h in the AMD64 branch. I just had a look at lib/libc/amd64/SYS.h and it seems they decided to use syscall/sysret instead of int80h about 2 years ago: > Revision 1.25 (Wed Apr 30 18:06:14 2003 UTC (2 years, 4 months ago) by peter) Cheers _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
