Re: Integer in source code

Posted on: 2012/9/17 21:43 #141

As already mentioned, the size of "int" and other C types are defined by the compiler implementation. See the ISO C standard for complete details.

Note that the default sign of the type may also be defined by the compiler implementation.

I'm working with an embedded compiler that has "int" defaulting to unsigned and it is 16 bits wide.

It has nothing to do with being "modern" but rather everything to do with the target platform.

General device I/O is described here
http://wiki.amigaos.net/index.php/Exec_Device_I/O

When it comes to Timer Device you can find docs here
http://wiki.amigaos.net/index.php/Timer_Device

Software interrupts are described here
http://wiki.amigaos.net/index.php/Exe ... rupts#Software_Interrupts

Some of this material may need polishing but I think it should answer your questions.

Not sure why the this thread was suddenly revived...

Anyway, the wiki currently does not have any documentation on this. The docs we do have are at http://wiki.amigaos.net/index.php/Graphics_Primitives and they need help.

Volunteers are welcome. :)

Re: Memory Page Locking Confusion

I have one question: Do you plan to make AmigaGuide or HTML format version of Autodocs from Software Developer Kit for AmigaOS 4?

Yes of course. However, I don't consider it a priority. The real meat of the documentation is what is not in the autodocs and includes. That is the stuff people also don't want to write because it is difficult.

You can find a copy of the autodocs online today at http://zerohero.homeip.net/~zerohero/autodocs/os4/

My goal is to automate the generation of the autodocs and have them uploaded to the server automatically. When that is working you'll find them on the official site as well. But again, that is the easy part.

What I have problems understanding is that this blog is taking about shard memory.

My blog entry also tries to point you to the full explanation of the memory subsystem which is on the wiki at http://wiki.amigaos.net/index.php/Exec_Memory_Allocation

Please review the information on the wiki. Don't depend on my single blog entry to tell you the full story.

If anything is unclear on the wiki then please let us know. The goal here is to make the wiki your only stop for factual information.

I did not port REBOL3 to AmigaOS 4.x. That work was done by Carl Sassenrath.

It seems this "uploader" is rather confused.

REBOL and CodeBench submited by "uploader"?

Posted on: 2012/8/21 23:09 #152

Amigans Defender

I'm not sure who is approving the OS4Depot uploads but I don't think either REBOL nor CodeBench are supposed to be distributed in this manner.

The authors of both are also incorrect.

this is steven solie's blog but not hyperion's main page..:

www.hyperion-entertainment.biz

My blog is at http://www.solie.ca and it has no mention of it (yet).

Hyperion's blog is at http://blog.hyperion-entertainment.biz/ which is where I first posted the news.

There is also a mention on the AmigaOS web site at http://www.amigaos.net now.

Hyperion's main page should be updated soon but I don't see the hurry. It has only been a couple of hours...

That is really unfair because there is a team of people working on 4.2 and not just Thomas. Besides, scheduling is my department so leave Thomas alone please.

Note that MESA is implemented on top of Gallium3D which means not every graphics card will be supported. There is a software renderer for MESA of course but that would kind of defeat the purpose of hardware acceleration.

The only thing that might happen (not sure about that) is that it crashes on exit. This was due to a bug in elf.library, and I am uncertain whether the fix for that was in Update 4 or Update 5.

That bug is fixed in 4.1 Update 4 for all platforms so there shouldn't be any problems there.

Update 5 for non-X1000 platforms still needs to be released. It is on my to-do list.

So hopefully I'll get mine in a week or so, having just paid the "Final demand"

Paying for it certainly helps.

I don't know what the turnaround time is at AmigaKit once you have made your final payment but I can't imagine it would be very long. Having inventory lingering around is never a good thing for a retail business.

Not many systems have shipped yet.

AmigaKit are working as quickly as they can but you have to remember all systems are shipped fully tested and that takes a lot of time.

I happen to know how many systems have shipped since I'm the one handling the AmigaOS serial numbers.

All the os4 developers works in their free time, except brothers. There is no need to add "imho", "afaik" or "i think", because and brothers, and ben, and other core devs saying many times that.

There are private contracts between various developers and Hyperion as well. I worked on a couple of contracts myself.

So not all AmigaOS developers just work for free in their spare time. And not just two of them are full time either. It really depends on what people are contracted to what at any specific time.

Re: distcc on X1000

There is nothing to be done for distcc as it already supports multiple CPUs and cores. It is AmigaOS that you are waiting on.
