[return to "OpenBSD: Removing syscall(2) from libc and kernel"]

It looks like golang is going to have to deal with — again — OpenBSD treating libc as the interface with the kernel instead of syscalls being the interface with the kernel.

I wonder if there could be some way to sign a dynamic library to allow it to create direct system calls and then pass that as a kernel command line argument at boot?

Something they wouldn't have to do if they'd heeded the warnings they got since they first started going raw syscalls on non linux systems.

But as usual, go is uniquely american, only doing the right thing after it has tried everything else.

Perhaps this is why most innovations are American. We don't automatically fall for the bully pulpit of the gnostic class.

Yea, but they'll get it done anyways, and the language will continue to be excellent. I'm sure Google can absorb the engineering challenge without subtracting anything from us or other languages.
