The real question to ask is: Why did the original Mach designers pay so much attention to an efficient way of getting the system time -- and are their reasons relevant to us? If the answer is that they aren't, I guess your proposal is fine, and maptime() can really be dropped alltogether. If the the anser is that they might be, your proposal could be problematic. (I guess you can map the memory region from the server just as well, but time updates might be less reliable when done in a server instead of the kernel...) My guess is the former, but it would be good to know for sure... -antrik- _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
