Re: messaging questions...

:Cool.. So now that I've actually got DragonFly running and I have the 
:kernel
:source I can happily dig around in the messaging code and write some 
:examples.

:If/when I get around to it would some example code be useful for the 
:website?

    Another thing came to mind..  I am starting to port the LWKT 
    threading and messaging code to userland.  That is part of what
    /usr/src/lib/libcaps is going to be.  Well, really I'm hoping 
    that others like Galen will help out and take up the ball, but
    I expect I will still have to do quite a bit (like the assembly
    required) to really get the ball rolling.

    In anycase, looking at this code from the perspective of the
    userland library might make things more apparent to you then looking
    at it from the point of view of the kernel, because you won't have
    to read through all the extranious kernel junk wondering which
    pieces actually apply to the threading and messaging and which do not :-).
