NML doesn't seem to be maintained, most platforms it was designed to run on are obsolete, is missing tooling like a useable code generator that generates serialization / deserialization code from some sort of interface description (thereby guaranteeing consistency and correctness of that code), is using an antiquated c++ style, and because of that it is really painful to change anything. A bunch of kludges and ad-hoc changes accumulated that also caused and still cause some real bugs. IMO we should strive to get rid of those dependencies and the schism between the C++ non-rt and the C-only realtime stuff entirely if possible. -- Robert Schöftner <r...@unfoo.net> _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
