Please elaborate. I'm pleased that you are looking at this code, but may I suggest that you make a point of talking to people here early rather than crafting a large patch in silence. Firstly, it means that we all learn from your learning experience; and secondly if there is some doubt over the approach you will hear about it quicker. Sorry if that sounds negative, but I'd hate to see your hard work and enthusiasm wasted. Regards, Tim > I think, it makes sense to move all platform-specific code of the luni into > the portlib.
