| JFo | thanks kloeri_ :) | 04:45 |
| kloeri__ | you're welcome | 04:46 |
| mtx_init | since C is a foundation for the kernel, is it also possible use another language like python? | 04:56 |
| RAOF | mtx_init: In linux kernel code? No. | 05:06 |
| mtx_init | why not, given its just libraries no? | 05:07 |
| RAOF | Because kernel code doesn't get to depend on libraries. | 05:08 |
| RAOF | It doesn't even link to libc. | 05:09 |
| mtx_init | but it does have a library it uses? it must | 05:13 |
| mtx_init | Freebsd uses libc, so linux doesnt? | 05:15 |
| RAOF | Why would the kernel need a library? libc *uses* the kernel to do its stuff; the kernel can't use libc :). It has to be actually implemented somewhere :) | 05:21 |
| RAOF | Code *written* for linux can use libc or whatever libraries it wants. The kernel can't, because the kernel is the thing which is providing the underlying bit-twiddling that makes the libraries work. | 05:21 |
| mtx_init | so lets say you want to use a basic c function like read, if the kernel doesnt use a library where does it get read from? I mean when you compule a kernel it goes through a linker doesnt it? | 05:36 |
| johanbr | it doesn't get read from anywhere, the kernel can only rely on functions internal to itself | 05:43 |
| mtx_init | yeah but the kernel is just a image like everybody else and needed to be built and compiles with libraries. The functions still came from a library at one time or another. | 05:47 |
| RAOF | No. No libraries. | 05:47 |
| RAOF | Compiled, but not linked. | 05:47 |
| RAOF | (Well, not to anything outside itself). | 05:47 |
| mtx_init | why does the freebsd kernel need to be linked then and not the linux? | 05:48 |
| RAOF | All the “standard C functions” you can think of are implemented *on top of* functions provided by the kernel. The kernel can't use read(), because the kernel is providing the functionality that read() uses to work :) | 05:49 |
| RAOF | Maybe the freebsd developers are more confident in their ability to segregate the code that can't link to anything from the code that can? | 05:50 |
| mtx_init | so how does a system call use read() | 05:50 |
| RAOF | You mean, a call from within the kernel? *It doesn't*. | 05:51 |
| RAOF | There's a whole bunch of stuff you can't do from within kernel (linux) code. Use the FPU, for example. | 05:52 |
| mtx_init | so usermode can only do that? | 05:53 |
| RAOF | Right. | 05:53 |
| mtx_init | so the kernel knows what read is but cant use it?, how the heck is the kernel pulls if the hdd then? | 05:57 |
| mtx_init | pulled* | 05:57 |

| DanaG | hmm, are the mainline kernel builds supposed to have staging drivers disabled? | 21:38 |
| DanaG | I need two specific drivers: r8192se, and samsung-laptop. | 21:38 |
