Tisix
Tisix is an operating system written in C++17 (I try not to overuse it though).
Features
- Tiny microkernel (~2k LoC).
- Rich and modern C++ freestanding library.
- Portable codebase (In the architecture way).
- Permissive license.
Why C++?
C was becoming limiting in terms of metaprogramming and namespaces. In this repo, I try not to overuse C++ features such as templates and stuff that make code totally unreadable
MiCrOkErNelS aRe SlOw
- "Slow" is relative.
- A hobby operating system doesn't really need to be the fastest OS in the world.
- Microkernels > *, btw
Current issues with the codebase
- No SMP
- The scheduling algorithm could be greatly improved, its time_slice thing seems broken.
- The
servers's build system could also be improved.
Architectures
I plan on porting tisix to multiple architectures for the fun of it but, right now, I am focusing on x86_64 as I know it better so it's easier to debug and faster to develop.
Current goals
- Better syscall API.
- Lots of syscalls.
- Fix current issues with the codebase (scroll up).
- Simple framebuffer server.
Documentation
Soon I guess
