This is something I've been thinking about for a while!
It's possible to use the interrupt-model with Open Transport.
+ Open Transport was built on top of BSD.
= It must (somehow) be possible to make the same kind of interrupts with BSD ?
I don't really know how to form the words; but what I'm trying to say is
that it should be possible to do a non-threading interrupt-triggered
event-handler.
Maybe this requires modification of the kernel, but let's see, if Open
Transport lives in Carbon-space, it would be outside the kernel, and this
means it'd be fully possible to implement, even for a developer not
working at Apple.
I like the speed of the notifiers, I like the simplicity of BSD sockets;
could we combine them, then I'd be very happy. =)
(Am I all wrong in my assumption ?)
Love,
Jens
