Kai-Uwe Bloem's recent posting of nice(1,2) runs ok on an IBM PC, with only
trivial changes. However, the profil and monitor calls require a call
to a routine mcount from the startup file mrtso.s; this in turn requires
knowledge of how the compiler calls _procentry and _procexit.
Could someone with the compiler sources (as far as I know, there is no
other documentation) take a look at them, and either write mrtso.s or
post the calling conventions for _procentry and _procexit? Everthing
else patches/compiles without much difficulty.
Nice, by the way, is a great improvement. Editing while running a
background process feels much more reponsive, and the patches to ps
are pretty minor too.
Now all we need is Fred Van Kempen's rs232 patches, and a debugger
from somewhere...
Thanks for the help - Will
