valgrind

2022-03-09 Thread Mouse
http://wiki.netbsd.org/projects/project/valgrind/ sketches a project
for porting valgrind, but gives tech-kern as its contact address.
Surely that's not right?

In passing, the difficulty will vary, substantially I expect, with the
port(s) it's targeted for.  I spent a while trying to implement
valgrind on the NetBSD/sparc I use and ended up collapsing that effort
into my userland SPARC emulator instead; handling a restore in the
delay slot of a jmpl, a common thing in function epilogues, looked like
more of a headache than adding the functionality to the emulator.
(It's found one bug in libc already, back in July 2021 IIRC.)

Perhaps I just need a better approach

Not all that exotic.  AIUI it's just a Lisp dialect.  (A slightly odd
one in that it eliminates the distinction between value cells and
function cells, but back when I looked at it that was about the oddest
thing about it.)

Isn't this what SWIG tries to do?  One might argue about how well it does it.  
As for Scheme, I thought that's a programming language, and a rather exotic one 
at that.  Or do you mean something else called "scheme"?

about langage neutral

2022-03-09 Thread jobol

Hello tech-kern,

I'm discorvering the article about language-neutral-interfaces for 
system calls.


http://wiki.netbsd.org/projects/project/language-neutral-interfaces/

That is a very interesting topic.

IMHO scheme language is well suited to answer the issue.

Are you interested in more discussion around that topic?

Best regards
José Bollo

I built eleven releases without problems,
