Augustin Cavalier df3de4792e runtime_loader: Make the heap thread-safe. Previously we didn't need to care about threading in here, as it was used only up to the point where the application's _start was called and then libroot's heap would take over. But with the introduction of TLS support by pdziepak in 2014, we also handle TLS bookkeeping inside runtime_loader, and so this heap needs to be thread-safe. Properly fixes the JVM crashes korli was attempting to fix in hrev52658, and fixes #13154, #14129, #14304, #14342 for real.		2018-12-17 20:03:47 -05:00

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.
