Status of dialog(1) and libdialog.

2001-07-04 Thread Andrey Simonenko
Hi All, I'm working on some patches for dialog(1) and libdialog. Does FreeBSD team want to continue use of dialog(1) program and libdialog in future? I ask this question because I fix some problems I have with dialog(1) (really with libdialog) and I'm going to try to fix the same problems with al

pthreads vs set/longjmp performance (homegrown tasking)

2001-07-04 Thread John W. De Boskey
Hi, I have an application which uses a homegrown tasking mechanism. Basically, it uses setjmp/longjmp where the stackpointer is modified after the setjmp and before the longjmp. This allows multiple 'tasks' to run (serially) within the process with each having a different stack allocation.

I suppose that depends on how you define "future." Do we want to be using libdialog in the year 2010? No, I would certainly hope something better will have arrived by then. Do we have anything better now or in the forseeable next 12 months? No also. So, if there's anything you or anyone else

Then the question is whether the kernel is copying data between userspace and kernelspace or whether it just DMAs the data straight in/out of the user program's address space. In Linux raw-io, given that it is a block device and you are doing page-aligned block I/Os on it, is smart and does zero
