This is actually a fundamental Computer Science concept for object
oriented programming. There's a good Wikipedia article on it at:
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessor>
Look in the second section, or seqrch in the page for "accessor".
Is it found right between "slow" and "inefficent" ? :)
Solaris has a much, much more stable driver ABI than you
guys do (drivers compiled before MacOSX even existed still
work) and it allows direct access to structures (like uio).
Sure, and if you want to assume that changes in hardware architecture
and the way software uses that hardware stopped fifteen years ago
then that model works fine.
What, like NextStep's IOKit that MacOSX uses? :)
Are you sure I/O Kit is from NeXTStep? The DriverKit looks like to be
Obj-C.
