NAME

Nanokernel Scaling

Using conditional compilation, the Unison Nanokernel can have features added and removed, changing its size and capabilities.

SYNOPSIS

Description

The Unison Nanokernel can be scaled to reduce its' memory footprint and can be tailored to meet specific requirements. The means to do this tailoring is entirely by using conditional compilation and rebuilding the library that comes with your release. The various options are discussed below.

Compile Time Options

Pool Options

HEAP_BOUNDS
Add heap bounds checking for first fit memory pool.
DEBUGON
Turn on basic error message reporting using xprintf for the first fit memory pool.
VERBOSE
Turn on verbose error message reporting using xprintf for the first fit memory pool.

POSIX Features

_POSIX_MESSAGE_PASSING
Include POSIX message passing features
_POSIX_THREAD_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING
Support priority thread scheduling.
_POSIX_TIMERS
Include POSIX timers in the system.
_POSIX_TIMEOUTS
Include POSIX timeouts in the system.
_POSIX_THREAD_PRIO_INHERIT
Inherit the parent's thread priority.
_POSIX_THREAD_ATTR_STACKADDR
Include the stackaddr attribute as an option.
_POSIX_THREAD_ATTR_STACKSIZE
Include the stacksize attribute as an option.

Advanced Options

MULTIPROC
Select multicore operation, use only with factory collaboration.
DLOG_SUPPORT
Include datalogging support.
PACK
Used for Word oriented machines to pack characters in a word.
_TARTAN
Used for Word oriented machines to adapt for the compiler.
