Subject: [TUHS] Re: Split addressing (I/D) space (inspired by the    death of the python... thread)
Date: Fri, 4 Aug 2023 00:14:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1746F115-5095-497A-A477-2C69ECDB881D@quintile.net> (raw)


not quite split i and d but i do have a memory of some code which could run in three parts as overlays.

this could have been through exec’ing the next overlay with an appropriate argv and a pipe or file of data, or, perhaps there was some kernel support for overlays in early unix.

anyone seen evidence of this?

sadly i cannot remember where i saw it, i want to say it was a versatex printer driver but i am pretty sure that is rubbish.

-Steve
