My humble thoughts on this whole memory protection and resouce tracking issue.
From my experience, almost all the guru's I encounter come from my own code
trashing the system during the development process. If there was some way
of protecting this code from the GURU even if causing considerable overhead
would IMHO be a great improvment.
So someone with an MMU Amiga system could develop programs under a protected
mode (maybe even making special system calls- I dont know) and when finished
make sure this code runs on non-protected Amigas.
I don't have any suggestions on how this would work, but I just want to
emphasize that having the ability to run a few programs in a protected
mode EVEN IF taking a performance hit would reduce Guru visitations
considerably.
Could someone write a RunProtected command without help from the OS?
