Corado,
I have downloaded and integrated JOS-w/curses into my JJOS build. I have
some concerns about how it is structured. For instance, when you ask for
the terminal from the Window object, you get the _parent_ terminal to the
window, not a terminal contained within the window, as one would expect. As
I've said before, I think we need to take a step back and refactor the
console code. I'm concerned that in order to make things work with the
limited functionality available, it has taken on a certain hackish aspect.
Shared memory resources need to be encapsulated. Has anyone thought about
some kind of a DeviceManager or DriverManager? Really, the current state of
things can be tracked back to the fact that we don't have seperate statics
for each process yet (the System.out hack). Todd, how is the multiprocess
support coming? I think that is required before we can really make the
consoles clean.
Don't anyone think I'm getting down on anyone. The development team I work
in has a motto:
* Make it WORK.
* Make it work RIGHT!
* Make it work right WELL!
I just think we're getting to the second step now.
Regards,
Avery J. Regier
