Fascinating, what kind of hardware/OS was used in production?
- lanstin 2y agoStarted with Tandem and Stratus pre Unix then migrated to HPUX then Solaris then Linux on stock hardware. Also Digital for big machines and early usage of 64 bit. I ported to Mac OSX but only for local dev. Funny thing about HPUX to Solaris migration is we found a ton of null pointer dereferences which didn't cause SEGV on HPUX but did on Solaris. And Linux migration was to a different endianness so had to fix any copying to/from ints to a buffer.
