[M3devel] targeting kernel instead of libc/pthreads?

[Dragiša Durić]

Dragiša used trusty techniques of reading existing source code, in this
case Boehm's GC and testing his approach vs. one similar implementation
he was able to find and compare. It checked well, and worked flawlessly
for about 4 years in many applications and esp important in one I've
designed to stress test it (my DC hub sw). But it was also many yrs ago.
December of 2003.... I surely did not execute my code on anything else.
And I also stopped using it once you made your code available and
supported. 

It's nice when other fullfill your dreams - mine being first class
citizenship of Modula-3 on modern OS's. And that includes relying on
established standards like pthreads.
