Re: [Freedos-kernel] kernel 2034rc for testing
Bart, ke2034rc compiled ok (386,fat32), and does MS networking - so it can't be that bad ;) one thing I don't understand: MEM /F will show a 1K dataarea, between 2 FILES drivers, at ~2a6:0 this existed also in ke2033, and possibly before. as it *seems* to be unused, what is it? BTW: I fullheartily disagree with your efforts to move share_check() into assembly, and I will never like #pragma aux, even if that saves a few byte. IMO this is dos-C, and should be coded in C (which is possible mostly) tom --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.

That would be the relocated EBDA. I should improve MEM to detect that one properly. > BTW: I fullheartily disagree with your efforts to move share_check() > into assembly, and I will never like #pragma aux, even if that saves a > few byte. IMO this is dos-C, and should be coded in C (which is > possible mostly) you'd have to be consistent. Most of the remote functions use assembly. So why have just one using intr()? Either use intr() for all of them or use external asm files for all of them. Since the resident code had only 4 or so intr() users it was easier to go for the external assembler. I left all the intr()s in the init code as is though -- since it's the predominant technique there. As to #pragma aux, this helps the Watcom optimizer quite a bit (about 350 bytes for the asmsupt.asm interfaces) -- without it even a "memcpy" in C would make a smaller kernel (but in the past you argued to do memcpy in assembly). Ironically as soon as you throw a "normal" __cdecl or pascal assembly function into the equation (whether intr() itself or anything else) the whole optimizer chain collapses.

Let me disagree with you. This is most valid and effective way to control compiler - in given case describe interface to (external) function. IMHO, this is much more flexible and better than modifiers (like ASMPASCAL) and cost only one additional line per each function in header file. te> IMO this is dos-C, and should be coded in C (which is possible mostly) :) Some things (especially low level and which are complete in sense of functionality) may (and should) be implemented in asm. Especially when we talk about real OS, which may used as base for complex systems. --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
