You did see that bit you quoted? > (Of course the 386 is technically still segmented, but let's ignore that) Yes, the 80386 was still technically segmented, but the overwhelming majority of operating systems (95%+) effectively aband

> examples from different time Yes, because (a) you asked a question about how we got here and (b) that question actually has a non-rhetorical historical answer. This is how we got here, and that's when it pretty much happened.

The way you selectively quoted: yes, you removed the refutation. And regarding the iAPX 432: it was slow in large part due to the failed object-capability model. For one, the model required multiple expensive lookups per instruction. And

It isn't 100% proof that the concept is flawed, but the fact that the for decades most successful CPU manufacturer in the world couldn't make segmentation work in multiple attempts is pretty strong evidence that at least there are

Cool! I am a little confused about it both being a virtual image running on QEMU and requiring a very specific Ubuntu version as the base OS. Shouldn't anything that can run QEMU work? I used to do software development back on 386 with

OK: "It didn't exist in the language as published and defined."

Before ANSI C in 1989, the C language was defined by K&R (1978), which is why that is usually called K&R C. After the introduction of ANSI C, the C language was defined by the ANSI standard. Can we agree on that?

Yeah, I don't think I claimed that these things weren't "envisioned" in 1979. My claim was that they most certainly weren't "common practice" in 1979. In my mind, they didn't exist yet, and certainly

In 1979 the “standard practice in C of passing a large struct to a function” wasn’t just not standard practice, it didn’t exist! All you could pass as a parameter to a function were pointers to structs. In fact, with one exception, all par
