That's actually the greatest disadvantage of Simics. Other than that, it's just perfect. The fact that students can get one-year license for free is not a sufficient substitute. I wish they had at least something like a free player or even a free debugger with some high-end features disabled. > Theoretically it /should/ compile on solaris, but if you look at > the ski source there's a lot of OS dependent code in there so it > actually needs a port to solaris rather than a simple fixing of GNU > Autobreak configurations You tell me, I am just trying to make it compile on Mac OS X :-) On Linux it works nice though. It simulates CPU, memory and a couple of debugging devices. Now that the source is free and open, one can even understand some undocumented behavior it has such as when you write to certain memory areas (e.g legacy video ram), the data written is simply lost. Or that its ELF loader confuses LMA and VMA of the ELF image. Regards, Jakub _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
