Software News : New Process Ranger
Posted by ssolie on 2007/1/11 17:06:43 (2086 reads) News by the same author

Amiga OS 4.0 has introduced some new features to manage process families. I created Ranger to visualize these new process trees and hopefully help with debugging things. The list of processes is automatically updated as you start and end programs on your Amiga.

Feedback is welcome. Maybe this can evolve into something more powerful.

Grab it from OS4Depot.

heh, thanks. I did not know there's such a feature as I don't use OS4Depot very often.

Hi!

Thanks for this tool!
When I started a 68k app from icon it showed in the window of Ranger, but it is displayed 32k of stack instead the 8k which was set in the icon info.

Is that 32k of the minimal stack?

Bye!

@lazi

My understanding is that all 680x0 programs under OS4 needs more stack, because the system functions needs more stack, and because the 680x0 emulation requires more stack.

It?s most likely bumped up to 32k as a minimum.

The minimum stack is set in Prefs/DOS. Default is 32K, but you can lower it back to 8K at your peril.

I failed to mention the tool is also educational.

Try running something modern like TuneNet and you can see all the fancy stuff it is doing.

Heh heh - especially if you XFade between Radio stations! See! I didn't code some lame single threaded buffered X-Fade routines after all!

...but it does highlight my blatent wastage of stack. Ahem!

hmmmm...

What it needs is a feature to save a snapshot of the current window contents when a GR window pops up...

And maybe option to dump all or single items with all the details (imho, sometimes it is handy to see shorter output than GR logs)
