Michael Lotz 9c4845e767 kernel: Implement wait info count limit in wait_for_objects. Since wait_for_objects can wait on sems, threads and ports in addition to FDs, limiting to RLIMIT_NOFILES as in the select/poll case does not work. Since space is allocated for the wait objects in kernel memory, limiting their number to a valid range is still desireable. The limit is now placed at the sum of max sem, thread and port count plus RLIMIT_NOFILES. This also fixes a signed vs. unsigned comparison warning in check_max_fds introduced in hrev51866.		2018-04-06 21:20:11 +02:00

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!
