Re: How to turn off deprecated warnings

Okay, -DDEPRECATED= does the trick. A more elegant solution like -D__NO_DEPRECATED__ would be nice, though. The point of flagging things as deprecated is to give a hint to developers to change their code to no longer use the deprecated function. As such, a special "__NO_DEPRECATED__" is a...

Re: Changing SWAP priority

so at the end: SWAP is actually useless IMHO :ugeek: We don´t need SWAP, we need RAM! There is no difference using SLOW SWAP or using SLOW RAM....IMHO IMHO ? This isn't an issue of opinion, but of fact. You are leaving out the most important part in the equation, that of latency, which is HORRIBLE ...

Re: AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition for classic

What does that exactly mean in the case of FE classic? What type of memory can be defined as "extended'' and how does it work? Is it an alternative to the 'swap' memory which can be either Hard disk or Zorro III memory? For machines with less than 2 GB of physical memory, this is mostly aimed ...

Re: AmigaOS 4.1 final edition?

It tastes as a soldout, the last squeeze of our pockets before os4.2 comes out? The last squeeze ? Give me a break, the last time you had to actually take money out of your pocket for OS4 was in 2008, that's six years ago, with a lot of updates in the meantime. Don't want it ? Don't buy it, as easy...

Re: Not compatible Radeon 9250 PCI

Honest question, why use a PCI graphics card with the X1000 ?

Re: cpu.c: X1000 using kernel,debug + MUNGE freezes

I'm also not quite sure what the mutices around the setting of switch and launch points should accomplish ? Regarding the idler task, make sure it won't persist after the main task exited. Usually, you would catch a sempahore or mutex at the start of the code and release it before exiting. The main ...

Re: cpu.c: X1000 using kernel,debug + MUNGE freezes

One thing, probably not the cause, but please, PLEASE: pause_req = IExec->AllocVecTags(sizeof(struct TimeRequest), AVT_ClearWithValue,0, TAG_DONE); if(!pause_req) goto clean; IExec->CopyMem( timer_req, pause_req, sizeof(struct TimeRequest) ); PLEASE do not do that. NEVER allocate any system structur...

Re: OS freeze when using debug kernel with CPU Watcher

Seems Guillaume solved by adding 'Delay(1)' before 'FindTask(NULL)', maybe some kind of timing race condition on X1000 systems? I doubt that this would only exhibit in such rare cases. Besides, the Delay probably just makes it gloss over the freed memory. Just to make sure, you are NOT using an X-k...

Re: OS freeze when using debug kernel with CPU Watcher

Thank you for your reply, yes, but why does it works on a non debug kernel and, overall, why does it seems to work on a SAM460 with the debug kernel ? The non-debug kernel does not munge memory, and it does not destroy linkage in removed list nodes. The debug kernel does, for the exact purpose of e...
