Hello, L4 experts! I have a question regarding method Kobject_iface::commit_result() in the code of Fiasco.OC. One can easily find in the code something similar to following:
return commit_result(-L4_err::EPerm); And this call is very confusing: it looks like returning message tag with error, but in fact the error bit (0x8000) is not set. Moreover, some values from L4_err is intersection with enumeration L4_msg_tag::Protocol because of: 1) sign '-' used when commiting result; 2) place where both values are saved - bits 31...16 of the message tag. And, finally, there are lots of returns similar to mentioned one (return commit_result(-L4_err::EPerm)) and there are no _any_ code which checks presence of these errors in the tag. I am very confused about these strange values saved in L4_msg_tag and it appears to me that in these cases should be used method Kobject_iface::commit_error(). Can someone explain the logic behind returning values defined in class L4_err? -- Best regards, Sergey Grekhov _______________________________________________ l4-hackers mailing list l4-hackers@os.inf.tu-dresden.de http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/mailman/listinfo/l4-hackers
