I have been looking into the possibility of binary compatibility for
*nux and possibly other programs on Mac OS X, as well as other
interesting or potentially useful programs to play with OS
interoperability.
Invariably, I have been lead to the task emulation functions, and
immediately dove into learning about them (task_set_emulation,
task_set_emulation_vector, and task_get_emulation_vector).
In browsing and searching the mailing lists, I've run across posts from
other people trying to make use of the task emulation functions as
well, only to be met with the news that these functions have been
unhooked and are therefore rendered useless.
My question is simply this: why remove the task_{s,g}et_emulation
functionality from the Mach kernel?
While Apple may not need these functions, there are many other
independent developers, myself included, that could make use of task
emulation, perhaps as open-source projects or otherwise.
