Hello. For a few days I was toying around an idea to resurrect coopthreads. For this I created the branch "coopthreads_v2" in git. In this branch it is used by the fossil to do a blocking wait directly inside dosemu. This is likely not the right solution for fossil, so I am not going to push it to master, but that's a demo. Another test I did, was to create a while(1) loop in dosemu code that prints something, and I was able to start and stop that loop from dosdebug, just as if it would be a DOS code (well, almost). So, in theory, this will allow to move the bios.S code directly to dosemu, in C.
Everyone is encouraged to take a look and make a comment. Oh, and it have nothing to do with the old coopthreads code written by Hans Lermen. There are many coopthreads implementations around, I took libpcl, I really like the way it is written (author David e Libenzi). And the dosemu wrapper around it weights only a couple of kilobytes of a source code, compared to 50K code of an old coopthreads.c that no one can ever understand. :) So, comments are welcome. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
