Hi,

`size_t` is optimal for every architecture that does not use segmented memory.

The only platform that I know which used segmented memory was 80286, which was
not produced since the mid 90th. According to Wikipedia the last architecture
that used segmented memory died out in 1997.

So, +1 for size_t from me, too.

Cheer
René

Re: [riot-devel] qemu-i386 port

Hi Martine,

Git does not forget, so even if the "board" is rm -rf'd for now nothing is lost.
The current state is probably worse then not having the board at all.
Shall I open a PR to pull the port, so it is obvious that the author is OK with 
the decision?

Best,
René

Hi,

then either ask your prof / TA what your objective is or drop the class.
You may quote the author of the qemu-i386 port (that's me) that the port is in 
a bad shape (that's true).
But you are also welcome to bring the port up to speed, but please accept that 
we won't jump because the need port right now.

RIOT has full support for multiple inexpensive boards that might work better 
for you than emulation.
Please see: https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/wiki/RIOT-Platforms

René

There seems to be something broken.
The linker should not care for provided .so files at all.

Please post *all* the output of

$ git reflog -n10
$ gcc -###
$ make BOARD=qemu-i386 QUIET=0 clean all

so we can try to find the error.

But as others already mentioned, the port is not really maintained for a while 
now.
Might be that it is quite broken for everyone right now.

Thanks,
René

Hi,

if someone (here in Berlin) wants to try their porting skills I could offer 
hardware:

 - ESP-12E (http://www.ebay.com/itm/171907430053)
 - ESP-201 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/181846574978)

Cheers,

Sorry Adam, I don't know how your name got intermixed into my answer.
I had no intention to misquote you, and I like your previous letter very much.
