I genuinely had no idea that you could produce bare object files with ilc. This is so exciting to me, as compiler work has ended up being the majority of the work that goes into pure-managed OSes. Guess I know what I'm going to do when I actually have some free time, down the road!
- mehrdadn 8y agoSame thing, I had no idea either! I was trying to figure out how to even use the native compilers on the side but never found the time to really sit down and do it. This seems like exactly what I needed to get started!
- userbinator 8y agoEFI is actually itself already much of an OS (it's certainly bigger than DOS, for example), and the executables are PE format just like Windows application binaries, so this isn't quite as low-level as it may sound at first.
- bpye 8y agoEFI just means you don't have to deal with the arcane x86 boot process. If you want to do anything kernel-like then you are still pretty much on your own, you're still gonna need a memory manager, process scheduler, etc.
