Re: Architecture and development specification

@Tomas Bodzar:

 What do you mean by specification of architecture? Supported
 platforms, design, layout of filesystem,... ?

Yes, it is. I want to know design of OpenBSD kernel (process schedule,
memory managemente, filesystem,...). I was searching for something on Google
and I didn't found. More complete, if possible...

Hmm... Ok. This material is good, but slides are difficult to understand
rather than plain text... Thanks, David!

Architecture and development specification

2010-06-28 Thread Hudson Flavio V Mateus
Hello,

I know that this list isn't a tech support list of type how to use, but I
was looking for a specification for OpenBSD architecture (like FreeBSD) and
I didn't find. Is there one?

Thanks a lot!



Re: Patch for bogus pointer arithmetic in adw(4)

2010-06-22 Thread Hudson Flavio V Mateus
 Is there any reson you use bcopy() not memcpy()?
 If not considder using memcpy() please. :)

 We couldn't care what you believe, unless you have diffs of your own
 to submit.

I think the guy there asked if there is any difference, it was just that. I
also don't know bcopy() and would like to know just out of curiosity (I'm
really don't know, isn't not an irony): there's some difference between
bcopy() and memcpy()?

Regards!

 Yes, the order of the arguments. bcopy is intuitive: since you copy FROM
 somewhere TO somewhere, the arguments are FROM, TO, LENGTH. memcpy has
 FROM and TO exchanged, which is stupid. Some people argue this is
 because it is similar to an assignment, where you write DEST = SRC. But
 function calls are hardly assignments in my book.

Oh, yeah! I had not thought about this... Really...

Thank you very much!
