minus-squareBartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up84·2 months agoAccording to the github analysis, the kernel repository is: C 98.3% Assembly 0.7% Shell 0.4% Makefile 0.2% Python 0.2% Perl 0.1% Other 0.1% So yeah, its basically all C, plus a tiny bit of assembly for very low level bootstrapping and some helper scripts.
minus-squarerambling_lunatic@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up30·2 months agoYeah but a lot of that C code has inline assembly so it’s more like 5-10% asm.
minus-squareriodoro1@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up16arrow-down3·2 months agoInline assembly is such a shit practice. But c++ bad.
minus-squareMananasi@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up11·2 months agoSometimes you can’t get around it though.
minus-squareriodoro1@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·2 months agoAfaik MSVC forbids it and it’s one of the very few nice things about c++ on windows. If you need to write assembly don’t fucking do it in a cpp file. Create a header, an assembly file, assemble it and link to it.
minus-squareFlorianSimon@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 months agoNo VB6 either 🤷♂️ How can one write a kernel without using VB6 at all?
minus-square0x4E4F@sh.itjust.worksOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoYeah, indeed, why not 🤔…

Wot no Delphi?
