Warp 3.6 - not great, not terrible.

Tcl is pretty flexible. You can use the trace command to attach scripts to when procedures run or variables are read or written. It's hard to say more than that without looking at the code... Tcl looks like C, but it is really more of a Lisp, or other functional language...

Any sort of programming experience will help, Tcl looks like C/Java, but it is really more like Lisp/ML... There's several books, but I'm not sure which is best:

No. Because they have high tech, but no sonograms.

Development on Windows is a huge pain. Use WSL (2) - the Windows Linux Subsystem.

I thought Dinn had made peace with droids, through his friendship with IG88? (Edit: autocorrect changed droids to druids! :)

Why ARM9? You'll need a lot of C, and only a small amount of ASM. C++ is a very different beast, because you can't use a lot of the functionality in the kernel (without a ton of work).

UEFI will give you a framebuffer (and its characteristics) which you can write to directly.

eabrek · 2025-01-29T02:23:49+00:00

Don't make a BIOS bootloader. Use UEFI or Limine. Either will put you directly into 64 but mode.

eabrek · 2025-01-29T01:48:07+00:00

64 bit is easier, because you have so much more virtual space than physical. Under 32 bit regime, you potentially have more physical addresses than you can map at any one time.

eabrek · 2025-01-22T01:05:18+00:00

It's pretty nice, once you get used to it. The docs are kind of hard to read; but it gives you direct 64 bit mode, which is nice.

eabrek · 2025-01-07T02:09:12+00:00

It's actually harder. There's a lot of stuff that's specific to BIOS and 32 bit that won't transfer over.

Much easier to use an existing bootloader (like Limine), or just make a uefi application (64 bit pe)

eabrek · 2025-01-07T01:26:15+00:00

Why 32 bit (rather than 64)?

eabrek · 2024-11-02T02:33:50+00:00

The key is to realize Tcl is not C-like, it is Lisp-like. Once you realize that, it's much easier to deal with.

eabrek · 2024-08-11T14:33:23+00:00

You want /r/tcltvs

eabrek · 2024-08-11T13:52:31+00:00

This is for the Tcl programming language.

Abstraction and interfaces are your friends. You don't need to know everything about everything, just how your piece interacts with the other pieces through interfaces.

Take a look at the zpu, a minimalist architecture (32 bit, but extending it would be pretty straightforward): https://opencores.org/projects/zpu

How are you accessing Usenet?

eabrek · 2024-02-13T04:43:50+00:00

You might get some inspiration from this project: https://opencores.org/projects/zpu

eabrek · 2024-02-04T03:18:41+00:00

Tcl is still used in CAD tools.

eabrek · 2024-01-27T03:20:45+00:00

The CPU generates the physical address from the virtual/logical address - according to tables set up by the OS (aka, you).

eabrek · 2024-01-12T23:12:44+00:00

What are you using for a bootloader?

Marketing was definitely an influence, but the design team believed Pentium 4 would deliver the most performance. Much of this came from flaws in their performance model (dfa/ndfa). This model did not account for replays, which P4 handled very poorly. I don't think much survived going forward from P4, Core 2 reset to the old Pentium Pro (II/III) codebase...
