Hi, Background: I am trying to port picoLisp with Alex's help, its written in assembly for 64 bit architectures and C for 32 bit arches. He is ported to amd64, ppc64 and sparc64 is on his roadmap.
Can somebody please weigh in on Alex's comment? thanks ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Alexander Burger <x...@software-lab.de> Date: Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 6:00 AM Subject: OpenBSD (Was: Building the full 64-bit version) To: picolisp@software-lab.de Hi Amit, I'm surprised to see that OpenBSD uses only 1024 for BUFSIZ, and - even more - that PIPE_BUF is only 512 (all others so far use 4096 or 5120). Especially the size of PIPE_BUF is critical for performance, as this is the limit for atomic messages over pipes, used heavily in PicoLisp's interprocess communication. Does OpenBSD really need to be so much compatible with ancient Unix?
