Huh? Oberon has both structs and constants.
- theamk 7y agoSure, Oberon-the-language has structs and constants, but Oberon-the-OS does not not use them consistently. Take a look at this code from memory allocator (from link in my GP comments): ELSE GetBlock128(q); SYSTEM.PUT(q+64, 64); SYSTEM.PUT(q+68, -1); SYSTEM.PUT(q+72, list2); what do you think will happen if someone proposes this code into libc or Linux kernel? What kind of feedback would this receive today?
- eterps 7y agoGood example, I see your point.
