[Schemix-devel] New features in CVS

[Dr William Bland]

Hi all,
        Two new features are now in CVS.  Firstly, kallsyms and devfs are
optional.  You can compile Schemix (with less features!) on a system that
has neither of them.

Secondly, I have removed kernel-getter and kernel-setter and replaced them
with something (I think) better:

$ echo "(assert-type '(int) kernel::nr_threads)" > /dev/schemix
$ echo "(assert-type '(int) kernel::max_threads)" > /dev/schemix
$ echo "(display kernel::nr_threads)" > /dev/schemix
$ cat /dev/schemix
42
$ echo "(set! kernel::max_threads 42)" > /dev/schemix # Don't let any more 
processes start.

If the symbol you're interested in (say "bar") lives in a module named
"foo", you reference it as "foo::bar".

Best wishes,
                Bill.
