Reverse Engineering IRIX Multithreading For NetBSD

Posted by timothy on from the going-thattaway dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Onlamp.com publishes the sixth paper of Emmanuel Dreyfus's series on NetBSD's IRIX binary compatibility implementation. This time, this is about reverse engineering IRIX multithreading and the odd virtual memory features involved with it. It's an adventure at kernel and userland boundaries, with a debugger as the sole weapon. A must read!"

    remember this isn't the commercial software world. no-one's been tasked with providing irix compatibility. someone's doing it because they want it and thats reason enough, isn't it?
