I checked my Programming under Mach book, and well there just doesn't
seem to be much of a mapping between their calls and those in this new
and apparently Mock Mach Kernel. I thought those mk calls might have
been. But I don't think so.
Did anyone else bbedit mach_kernel and notice these two calls...
_NewPtr
_NewPtrSysClear
Now, these are old Two Classic Mac OS Calls. Unix tends to adopt
___alloc names for their memory allocation functions or IIRC, sbrk in
older systems. NewPtrSysClear, sounds like something the Copland Team
would have used for system e.g. memory allocation.
Why are they in this "mach_kernel"? Now, anything calling itself a
mach_kernel is going to have PORTS so browsing through
usr/include/mach/ But that's the problem, so FEW PEOPLE have ever
actually CODED to the Mach APIs that, they're not exactly
well-recognized...
Old flame wars aside, there is some EVIL orc~coroutine thing going on
sometimes. It's like the orc turned on Remote desktop and started
sending EVERYTHING I WAS DOING ON SCREEN. I mean the ATI chip was HOT
HOT HOT and the graphics were going SLOW. In Sound Studio, there's a
SINGLE green line that SMOOTHLY moves along as the sound is played
back. During these attacks there would be misdraws and two green lines
would HALTINGLY move along. It's RATHER OBVIOUS that these ORCS did not
test the choke'd and invaded box performance much. It's a noticeable
hit. I'm going to root around in Darwin. Has anyone compared the Darwin
kernel binaries to Mac OS X's?
