Detecting memory leaks in Linux Kernel & Implementing OSes in managed code.
Detecting memory leaks in Linux Kernel in 10 easy steps & Implementing Operating Systems in managed code.
- wccrawford 16y agoSomehow, writing an OS in a higher-level language really appeals to me. I doubt I'd ever get around to it, but the idea calls to me.
- DjDarkman 16y agoIf the kernel hackers wanted a garbage collector so badly they could have written one, the reason they probably didn't is because it's not precise. LINQ is not a life saving feature in kernel space. Overall I think kernels should not be written in high level languages because high level languages hide memory and hardware, the two components that need to be managed by the kernel in the first place.
