I'm kind of hashing around the whole flurry of threads as of recently, as I've come in late.

You're in luck. 0% of our code is actually written in ASM. The ahead-of-time compiler that we wrote does handle some complex low-level stuff, but it is C#. The unmanaged kernel core looks more like C than ASM, and the parts of our code that do need to provide ASM-level instructions do so using a special stub class. That code is isolated into Architecture-Dependent Layers, which are selected at AOT-time. > > That's ok. There is so much to do that doesn't require knowledge of ASM. Yes there is. Outside of the kernel we will need to write tons of utilities and components . I started a window system for it as well. Oh, I'm in the US. I haven't had a stable Internet connection until just today, so I've some catching up to do: first thing: Techguy sorry for missizing your paper so grossly! Organization: With this sudden influx of fresh blood, this point is underscored. Documentation: would be _great_! I've hardly had enough time to program the kernel (although I do think I've done a decent job at inline documentation) let alone get very far in a deep article about it. So, if anyone wants to write some documentation, go for it. I'll answer all of those deep dark SharpOS questions you thought would never be answered in any human-readable form. Hell, now might be a good time with Chriss rewriting the AOT (well, non-internal documentation I suppose).. > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. > Still grepping through log files to find problems?
