Hello, The first thing I have ever installed on a *nix platform was legOS on my recently (last week) converted Redhat Linux PC. I didn't really know how this sort of thing is supposed to work, so I did the whole install as root. Of course after I (...) (23 years ago, 15-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I agree with most of Luis statement. I've worked for three years in the embedded software development (for cars), and I think it's quite dangerous to have RCX functions with the same name that Unix ones, because they don't do the same thing. Using (...) (23 years ago, 14-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I'm actually on my way to my baccalaureate ceremony right now, but I do want to say that I feel very strongly that API changes for the sake of API changes should not be checked in. The current API, while not always intuitive, is well documented and (...) (23 years ago, 12-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

(...) I don't imagine that these changes will increase memory usage much, since they are largely just re-working existing features. I will look into the memory usage before releasing, though. In fact, I think that after I redid the networking a bit (...) (23 years ago, 12-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

My only concern with these proposed changes is possible increased memory usage. Encapsulation, error reporting, thread synchronisation etc are nice; but with just 32k of RAM I would question whether these are appropriate for some applications. For (...)

(...) I think it'll be very useful. (...) I worked on a reliable transport protocol written on top of LNP for my thesis a few months ago.

| | API changes
|

In using legOS, I've found that many of the design decisions seem somewhat backwards, and I think that this is due to a desire to keep the interface as similar as possible to NQC. I was wondering what people would think about changing the core API (...) (23 years ago, 10-May-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)

I just checked in a change to CVS which adds a new feature.
