To achieve this, kernel functionality is extremely limited - it provides only address space isolation and IPC, after bootup kernel does not allocate any memory itself. Exokernel's distinctive trait is that it provides mechanisms but not policies. Vesper tries to move as many policy decisions as possible to the library OS. diff --git a/nucleus/src/main.rs b/nucleus/src/main.rs index 951808c..381ac02 100644 --- a/nucleus/src/main.rs +++ b/nucleus/src/main.rs @@ -3,7 +3,7 @@ * Copyright (c) Berkus Decker */ -//!
