This means +we have to write assembly routines if we need things not available +in C (lgdt, in, out, etc.). + +Make sure it compiles with every ANSI C99 compiler (gcc, clang, tcc, ...). + +Use only very simple makefile rules. Make sure we could also just +use a simple shell script to compile the kernel. + +Avoid implementation and using of unsafe C functions. Provide safe +counterparts wherever possible. There are of course exceptions like +scrolling the VGA buffer with a memmove. |
