This is a way to comment out unused code: Everything between "#if 0" and "#endif" is stripped by the preprocessor, and is ignored by the compiler. For more information about the C/C++ preprocessor, please refer to the GNU CPP manual. … [View More]

If your kernel's API is similar enough: Is there a chance of releasing your test suite as open source? We probably could adapt it to our implementations, and having a test suite for Fiasco and L4/x86 would be very useful. > I can … [View More]

Default attributes of tasks/lthreads
by Robert Kaiser 27 May '99

27 May '99

Hi Hackers, I have a question regarding the default scheduling parameters of newly created tasks and lthreads under L4: When I create a new task with the task_new syscall, according to the L4 manual, that task's lthread 0 starts running immediately. But what are it's scheduling parameters (timeslice duration, priority) in this case ? Similarly, when I create a new lthread with lthread_ex_regs, how are it's scheduling parameters determined ? Also, is it possible to set these parameters for … [View More]

Hi; When I see the file "init.h" in "l4/server/sigma0/src/",I meet a problem. Although I have know: #define L4_NORETURN __attribute__((noreturn)) but I don't understand the function definition: void init(struct multiboot_info *mbi, unsigned int flag, l4_kernel_info_t *info) L4_NORETURN; there why we can use "L4_NORETURN" and what is the effect of "L4_NORETURN".
