 15 Dec 2010, Stefan Ritt, Info, New source file structure of MSCB tree
|
A long planned modification of the source file structure of the MSCB subsystem has been implemented. This is however only for those people who do actively
participate in micro controller programming with MSCB. The idea behind this is tha the central include file [B]mscbemb.h[/B] had a section for each new

As of svn rev 4794, midas builds, runs and should be fully usable on MacOS 10.6.4. Previous revisions did
not compile due to assorted Linuxisms and did not run because of a sizeof() problem in ss_gettid(). Also
one of the system header files (mtio.h?) present in MacOS 10.5 vanished from 10.6.

As of svn rev 4807, src/system.c has an experimental implementation of POSIX shared memory. It is
similar to the already existing implementation of MMAP shared memory, but uses POSIX shm_open()
instead of directly mmapping the .xxx.SHM file.
