It's called putting DDX into the kernel. And it's already been implemented... for Linux. It's interesting how much discussion about architecture on these lists finds its way into Linux first... one wonders if FreeBSD people are being abused as the architects for Linux... Demand loadable kernel modules. Generalize reference counting. ELF. Use of ELF sections to implement virtual base classes in g++. Change to a large offset instead of a single page offset so ld.so can be mapped into the image by the exec() rather than by crt0.o Token Ring drivers. SMP. DDX in the kernel. A partidge in a pear tree... 8-). Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
