Yet your website advertises a RTLinux project. How curious.
In any event, despite my vast ego, I really would appreciate it if we
could forgo another round of these ill-mannered and rather peculiar
discussions of my personality.
If you have a question, if you have a critique of how RTLinux works,
if you have a technical comment,
if you have a suggestion about anything from API to
business model to proper compiler, that's fine. Otherwise, please go
away.

For what it is worth. Steve P. sent me a perfectly polite and
useful explanation of how his memory allocator works and how it
returns a failure instead of suspending when memory is exhausted.
I do continue to think that RT software should be simple and
not rely on dynamic allocation of resources -- since this is not
compatible with determinism.
This is an interesting and important technical topic and one that
would benefit from real data and cases.

Todays contest: Who wrote ?
In a world of enormous and intricate interfaces, constantly
changing tools and languages and systems, and relentless pressure for more
of everything, one can lose sight of the basic principles
-- simplicity, clarity, generality -- that form the bedrock of good software.
