Hello all,
I believe it's time to use ne tools to develop a robust l4 based os. here are my suggestions :
c++ multithreaded language : http://plg.uwaterloo.ca/~usystem/uC++.html
c++ library : http://cxx.uclibc.org/
Could we replace glibc with uclibc++ and ntpl with the uc++ language ?
build system : http://www.exactcode.de/oss/exact-build/index.html
parrallel and asychronous api: https://gforge.inria.fr/projects/kaapi/
(scheduler and api for l4) => focused on performance : could not we consider a pc as an asynchronous platform ?
video server : http://xcb.freedesktop.org/wiki/
X.org was not thought for multithread. It's time to change ;-) !
parser: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~smcpeak/elkhound/
compiler : http://llvm.org/
(used by los alamos laboratory ;-) !)
Sound : http://www.alsa-project.org/
system development environment : http://www.t2-project.org/
A new concept : a meta-distribution (port for hurd planned :-) !)
debuggers : http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~dsw/oink.html http://valgrind.org/
I believe with this new tools we can construct the best system ever ...
Best Regards,
Guillaume FORTAINE

I was thinking about writing a message along these lines too. =)

Interesting. Almost all of these links are new to me. =)
My own OS project, to a large part influenced by L4, "Sphere", -- article available on request, among other things, aims to expose more of the awesome features of the modern microkernel OS to the user.

One of the main features of my OS design is an assynchronous IPC system.

My concern here is locking in to a specific compiler technology. A decient OS will support multiple languages concurrently.

My main gripe against hurd/linux/minix/bsd etc is that they are ALL UNIX. I HATE UNIX.

I'm not completely certain about this selection of tools, but the "best system ever" part is indisputable. ;)

Таке a look at http://hurd.gnufans.org/bin/view/Hurd/NextHurd . POSIX/UNIX interface is just "nice to have" there, not a requirement.
