Hi Hendrik,
Pistachio is about 10000 loc, I can't think of why in such difference. Pistachio makes a huge effort on portability so probably having such a good ABI-API segregation makes it longer in loc. but that is just a guess, do you know about IPC performance differences between MINIX and L4?
Thanks,
Jorge

Hi,
I just noticed that the Minix 3 kernel is under 4000 lines. I couldn't easily find numbers for Pistachio, but I guess it is comparable to Fiasco, which is about 15.000 lines (without the kernel debugger).
Could anybody explain why Fiasco is so big in comparison with Minix 3? From the difference in size I would expect that there is an essential difference in the feature set between Minix 3 and Fiasco. Or are the Minix lines just four times longer on average?
Bye,
Hendrik
