Investigate porting to additional platforms

Open jryans opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

It would be good to check just how much work is involved in porting to platforms beyond Linux, such as:

  • FreeBSD
  • macOS

Agreed.

There is a little bit of FreeBSD code in-tree already, mostly providing an equivalent for the use of Linux's /proc/self/maps. It is #ifdef'd quite nastily, when it really needs refactoring into (probably) a sysdep/ subtree. It is unfinished, so hasn't run anything yet.

I usually add a FIXME or TODO or HACK comment when I do something outrageously Linux-specific.
