<a name="l1"></a><span class=cF5> Cut Corners
<a name="l2"></a></span><span class=cF0>
<a name="l3"></a>There are a few places where I cut corners in the interest of not junking-up
<a name="l4"></a>code. This is part of the TempleOS mentality. I try not to let stupid legacy
<a name="l5"></a>compatibility issues enter and junk-up TempleOS.
<a name="l6"></a>
<a name="l7"></a>* I made my type-casting operator post-fix because it makes the compiler way
<a name="l8"></a>cleaner.

<a name="l10"></a>* TempleOS does not figure-out </span><span class=cF2>FAT32</span><span class=cF0> short name alias numbers. </span><a href="/Wb/Kernel/BlkDev/FileSysFAT.HC#l562"><span class=cF4>FAT32DirNew</span></a><span class=cF0>().
<a name="l11"></a>It can cause hard drive corruption, so I might have to do it. It would really
<a name="l12"></a>take a lot of junky code for this hatefully, detestable, legacy issue. &quot;Please
<a name="l13"></a>don't make me ruin my beautiful shiny-new TempleOS with that!&quot; I am also not
<a name="l14"></a>enthused about </span><span class=cF2>FAT32</span><span class=cF0> because it is in patent limbo. </span><span class=cF2>FAT32</span><span class=cF0> might get removed
2024-03-23 13:40:50 +00:00
<a name="l15"></a>from TempleOS. There is the </span><a href="/Wb/Doc/RedSea.DD.HTML#l1"><span class=cF4>RedSea</span></a><span class=cF0> 64-bit file system that works perfectly
<a name="l16"></a>well. </span><span class=cF2>FAT32</span><span class=cF0> is useful, however, because it assists in transferring between dual
<a name="l17"></a>booted operating systems.
<a name="l18"></a>
2024-03-23 13:40:50 +00:00
<a name="l19"></a>* I changed the </span><a href="/Wb/Compiler/OpCodes.DD.HTML#l1"><span class=cF4>asm opcodes</span></a><span class=cF0> names to remove the ambiguity between insts with
<a name="l20"></a>different numbers of arguments, making my </span><a href="/Wb/Compiler/Asm.HC#l1"><span class=cF4>assembler</span></a><span class=cF0> simpler and I did minimal
<a name="l21"></a>16-bit asm support, since 64-bit is what you should be using, unless you're
2024-03-23 13:40:50 +00:00
<a name="l22"></a>doing a </span><a href="/Wb/Adam/Opt/Boot/BootDVD.HC#l1"><span class=cF4>boot loader</span></a><span class=cF0>.
<a name="l23"></a>
<a name="l24"></a>* There are no user-controlled file-sharing locks. However, the drive and file
<a name="l25"></a>system have locks and concurrent operations should be fine.
<a name="l26"></a>
<a name="l27"></a>* A hidden window is never refreshed. Certain tasks are never done, therefore.
<a name="l28"></a>During refresh, the entry count limit of the document buffer is, normally,
<a name="l29"></a>checked and enforced. If you print to the command-line in a task whose window
<a name="l30"></a>is covered, no limit on buffer exists and it will alloc memory for the document
<a name="l31"></a>buffer until the system runs out of memory and crashes.
<a name="l32"></a>
<a name="l33"></a>* Even if a local function variable is declared less than 64 bits, the compiler
<a name="l34"></a>does calculations with 64-bit.
