One of the most interesting things in LIBC is fork() support!! Finaly we should be able to completely get rid of EMX soon :) Get it here: ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/GCC-3.3.4-alpha2.zip Changes in this release (summary from a mail by Knut to me): --snip-- The netlabs libc cvs have been updated to contain the codebase for the release. CVSROOT: :pserver:guest at www.netlabs.org:/netlabs.cvs/libc CVS password: "readonly" I can't stop myself from boasting a bit on the effors put down here, I hope you will excuse me. The diff between LIBC 0.5.1 and 0.6.0a2 is 62493 lines - 47654 added, 10086 removed. A good bit is borrowed from BSD, but still it's a decent amount of work there. And for the next release there is already a diff of > 8000 lines on the subject of signals waiting on my disk. As I said some weeks ago, this alpha is timebombed. It will stop working by the end of this month (October 04). Hopefully I will have a new release ready by then which needs not to be timebombed. The reason for the timebombing is not because I wanna be a bitch and make difficulties. It's simply because I don't wanna create legacy yet. The legacy I don't wanna create is the structure of the shared memory which all future LIBC versions will share and use to manage interprocess process thing. --snip-- Thanks a lot to Knut! If you have remarks or questions you might contact Knut directly. We hang out on #netlabs on the eCS Networks as well.
