Stability for whom? Trying to contort Linux code to follow the practices that work well for Windows does not strike me as either maintainable, or even particularly stable!
- Certhas 10y agoWhat does this have to do with Windows vs Linux? It's about closely working with hardware engineers.
- chris_wot 10y ago"I think the argument here is that stability is gained from having code shared as closely as possible with the Windows codebase". HTH.
- brainfire 10y agoYou have to read the rest of the comment too. "HTH"
- chris_wot 10y agoIndeed, I did which you seem to have thought I didn't read. So, do you think that bunging in code designed for Windows, which specifically uses a HAL, into Linux, which tries its best not to with the philosophy that the code that goes into Linux should be as clear as possible with as small an abstraction layer as possible is good for Linux, or any of the hundreds of developers or companies relying on the maintainers to keep to this coding and architecture style? I think not. So no, it didn't help.
