Show all headers | View raw

Changes to system since version 1.1:

- Parent Process ID table
- Process status table
- Process exit status table
- CREATEALL renamed SYSINIT
- NEWPROC records process creation hierarchy: parent and child
- New WAIT system call allows a parent to collect the exit status of a child process
- New EXIT system call allows a process to terminate and return status to parent
- New WAKEUP system call allows a process to terminate a process's sleep status

Changes to processes since version 1.1:

- There are now 5 total processes
- New process 4 is called as a child process to clear white blocks
- Process 0 spawns process 4 and waits for it to terminate
- Process 0 prints the process ID and exit status of its child process


"The entire world is changing around them, and yet these user-land programs are completely unfazed." 

Most of the work for version 1.2 was completed around the first few days of March. Then I took a break from it until June.
