Jérôme Duval 7065a89fc6 POSIX: ioctl(fd, op, arg) equals ioctl(fd, op, arg, 0)
The ioctl call cannot know the expected number of arguments
because it depends on the specific ioctl being used, and the
same value could be used to do different things by different
devices. Without knowing that, it is not safe to use va_arg
(at best a random value will be read from the stack, at worst,
it will just crash).

This changes the implementation of ioctl in two ways:
- For C++ code: a 4 argument function with default values
  for arguments 3 and 4.
- For C code: wrap arguments 3 and 4 in a struct with the
  help of a macro, providing something that behaves like the
  C++ version.

So, with this new code:
- Calling ioctl with only 3 arguments sets the 4th one to 0
- Calling ioctl with only 2 arguments sets the 3rd and 4th to 0
- Calling with 1 or 5+ arguments is a compile time error

The existing ioctl symbol is preserved for ABI compatibility.

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Goals

  • Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
  • Clean, clear, concise code.
  • Unified desktop environment.

Trying Haiku

Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Compiling Haiku

See ReadMe.Compiling.

Contributing

Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!

Contributing code

If you're submitting a patch to us, please make sure you're following the patch submitting guidelines.

If you're having trouble finding something in the source tree, you can use one of our web-based source code browsers:

Contributing documentation

The main piece of documentation that still needs work are the API docs (found in the tree at docs/user). Just find an undocumented class, write documentation for it, and submit a patch.
