What would be interesting to see in the Intel source version is the explanation why one week before the announcement of Mac OS X for Intel at WWDC, the x86 version of Darwin was said to be a dying 3-leg horse from a performance point of view with no hope of recovery and now, since the release of the Intel iMac Core Duo, it is (or stated to be) a stalion.
This could help me for turf related stuff :)
I think (or at least, it appears to be) because "Darwin/x86" and "Darwin on OS X for Intel" are probably different beasties. I'm surprised there's not been more activity over on darwin-x86@ actually...
They've already broken the IOKit driver ABI between Darwin and MacOSX on Intel by removing padding from critical C++ classes so that modules built on Darwin will not load on MacOSX, and vice-versa. So there is at least one difference. Drew _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
