Seems to work quite well!

This is an updated version of my previous benchmark with more recent compilers (GCC 5.4 and Clang 3.9). The results are almost the same as before, zapcc is about 2 times faster tha…

Normally, it should make almost difference compared to the code generated by the same version of clang on which zapcc is based. It may make a difference in the long term if they do…

It's not free for commercial use. And it's probably the slowest compiler there is although the generated assembly is generally of incredible quality.

You're right, I should emphasize on this on the conclusion ;)

Unfortunately, it's quite inconvenient to use precompiled, there are a lot of limitations in each compiler. For instance, only the first header include a source file can be precomp…

It's probably highly subjective to make a description of what needs an OS to be an OS. For me, it would be to be able to boot on hardware, to be able to execute applications and to…

That would be impossible, Thor cannot be brought down by any other than Jörmungandr. More seriously, I'll try to avoid reproducing the ping of death issue :)

You can write a kernel in pretty much every language. There are some experiments with Rust: http://www.randomhacks.net/bare-metal-rust/ There are several reasons to choose a langua…

I'm using a few classes and some class hierarchy as well. I've reimplemented std::vector and std::string and a few other features from the STL and use them both in kernel space and…

They are pretty good indeed to begin with. However, the best resource there is is clearly osdev.org, both the forums and the wiki are full of information!

Nice :) I didn't know this project. I'll definitely read about this project.

Hello. I'm the author of the mentioned project. It's indeed a very annoying opinion. Although there are indeed some difficulties in writing an operating system and quite some runti…
