Greetings,
I know that this probably will generate a lot of work, but I'm willing
to do as much of it as I can (he says, safe in the knowledge that he
only has Solaris2). Perhaps as the only change for rc-1.6?
What if we wrote rc to posix (or UNIX(tm) if posix isn't enough) and
removed as much of the #ifdef's as possible. Then, on systems without
posix support, we could create a posix library for that operating
system. Only covering the missing posix calls that rc uses, ofcourse.
Has this kind of thing been done before and failed?
Comments/Suggestions/xxx.
(I have done this for some code that run's under 3 similar real time
OS's and like the result. But then I don't like #ifdef).
Best Wishes, Bengt
