I think he means spliting it into Real Mode OSs, 16-bit Protected Mode OSs, ... , Drivers.
Maybe this thread should go to Feedback. |

@vid, Thank you.
@f0dder, I quit C when I found the source. |

@f0dder, That's not my style.
I do think you may be right in a different approach of ordering, if OS Construction will get a split. |

@f0dder, It is not that I can't learn from C, but (alotta) C is misplaced on this forum.

Maybe Tomasz will think by now...There is an A is FASM, not a C...

Niels: there's a "edit post" button, better than posting three replies in a row
My point was just that writing essentially the same code for two architectures is *boring* and error-prone. And pointless. Of course you could think up a thunking scheme so you could re-use a lot of 32bit code on a 64bit platform, but then what's the idea of writing the 64bit version in the first place? |

I miss the previous-pointer... possible_intended_pointer: Quote: 32/64bit: can share a LOT of code if you use C, but still need distinct parts, and of course recompilation. Never mind |
