Yes, given the past record of you both, I think it is better you both take it via PM

Feel free to write in this thread though, just take the personal stuff via PM.

someone did copy MorphOS because OS4 is no longer using MMU as a mandatory 68k->PPC transition scheme

Well MorphOS and AROS developers complained about almost every thing that where done different, now your complaining about they are doing some thing closer to what they do on MorphOS

MorphOS and AROS developers used to complain about the interface system too, now your saying that interface systems make it so munch easier for you to make wrapper, it makes it easier for you track code and debug code.

Latter would beed MMU management anyway because 0x4 is write protected. The first one requires that you install a handler but at least public docs are not offerint this option.

I don't see any problem with managing the MMU via MMU interface of Exec. Access would trigger a DSI which is a simple exception, nothing else needed, but an exception handler. No black magic involved.

You must be kidding. (Even if you intended, it was a poor joke.) I was who suggested the actual form of the emulation trap, according to what I already used in my Plus/4 emulator long time before MOS exsisted. So, I could claim that MOS copied my "invented method", if it wouldn't be silly, because the method is so simple and obvious that anybody might figure out on his/her own. (And probably did in other emulators under the Big Yellow Sun.) Even if nowadays every fart of the IT engineers are patented...
I would rather suggest you to keep out the discussion of who copied who topic, because it is deeply sensitive in MOS-wise...

LOL

@itix

but itix don’t you think that MorphOS can’t run in side a virtualized memory, address 0x4 being some thing different like 0x40004 or some thing in reality
after all AmigaOS4 support that feature, any way it where suggested to use a different expiation handler for sysbase, some thing that checks if FindTask(0) if same as MosEmu then do some thing else.

How? Access from absolute address doesnt require relocating information and ELF loader cant figure out where 0x4 address is accessed. But it could maybe analyse startup code and detect where 0x4 address is referenced.

Or maybe some thing like JIT compiler that compiles PPC code as PPC

The QBox idea is quite good (even if it hasn't evolved much). If OS4 team wants to have full memory protection and other goodies while keeping the system compatible with old apps they'll have to implement a similar "sandbox" idea. MacOSX also did that for Classic < = 9.2 apps.

A real sandbox is already available for AmigaOS 4 and I use it from sometimes, and the apps are fully protected. It's called E-UAE and if something crashes, simply close E-UAE and reopen it again - there is nor risk for AmigaOS 4 as long as E-UAE don't crash itself.

Presto, you've said it all... I use it too, and for most of the time, *even* when WinUAE crashes itself it doesn't take the whole system with it

LOL @ some OS4 users/developers. I don't really want to know what is your problem, but it looks like serious one

@moderators and users

mmm...
Here seems to be OUT of topic...
If situation will drop fell free to close that topic...
I hoped in a better discussion form for that topic...
And I still hope that something will happen in positive
Everyone was free to write his opinion but plz dont try to force other peoples to think about that prob like you...
Simply explain your opinion and go on on discussion

NO WAR!

Ah indeed, it is possible add exception handlers using AddIntServer() call.

Seems pre1 was still using mainly MMU based 68k->PPC transitions? Old libraries from pre1 dates dont have traps (i.e. mpega.library) while newer libraries have traps (asyncio). And wasnt there an idea to use MMU only to switch between 68k and PPC?

Yep, Basilisk II uses all kind of illegal instructions to patch Mac ROMs.

Ego.. Well, I don't know Rachy so I wouldn't know.

But this makes me think about the story about two insane guys calling each other crazy.
Don't remember the specifics but I guess the point gets through..

As usual, most MOS developers/users think they are the sane & sensible ones..

Please put ANOTHER link at MorphZone and MooBunny and tell the others how stupid the
AW people are.. (I don't mean you specifically with this Brotheris)

Wonder how most of the elitist people got be on one side of the "fence"???
IMHO many need a big dosage of humility.

No, there was no public version which was based on MMU based 68k->PPC context switch, because we dropped it at an early stage, when difficulties came up which I don't want to elaborate here. (Not as interesting, anyway.)
The MMU-based crosscall is still operational at some level to avoid huge hacks which would be required to get the badly written programs work, which applying direct hook calls. But due to certain (intended) limitations it cannot be used any longer for proper function calling. (And would be also pointless.)
I don't know how mpega.lib used to work, or is working now, but one thing is certain: there was never possible to use the MMU-based crosscall for API function calls in the public releases.

Told ya. Guess what: I have never saw the sources of Basilisk II. (Not even the binary itself... ) I was able to figure out this magnificient technology on my own...

Ego(?) thing again(?)
Turned to some personal angle, or what?
I was referred to that MOS was copied a whole API and still does via OS4emu. Thus I don't think that bringing up this "they copied usss!!!!11" thing (hi Charles! ) is particularly wise. (Not to mention that it is not even true.) But I didn't wanted to write this down: it is a clear trolling bait. So, let's just rest this topic.

And yet, you do the same - put labels on "blue", the same as "blue" put labels on you. So stop it =)

Anyway, my fingers missed word "hungarian" on previous message. I guess their "outrage" shown here is just a shadow of flames on their local sites/lists :))

@Rachy, itix

You're both talented and highly respected developers, please stop these silly arguments about who copied what from where as it leads nowhere. I copied the CrossfadeZoom wipes of WarpView from a Mac screensaver, so what? DvPlayer has a skinnable GUI yet I did not invent skinnable GUIs... just no point in these arguments.

The point I believe Itix is trying to get across isn't as much that AOS4 copied MOS, as the AOS4 original design turned out to be flawed, in this regard, just like everyone but AOS4 people had said at the time and been highly critized for.

Friedens copied (correct term is reimplemented) Exec API yet nobody see problem
