Michael Lotz 0cf3d62115 Make guarded heap accessible through its own libroot_guarded.so.
This adds libroot_guarded.so to the HaikuDevel package. It is the same
as libroot_debug with the debug heap swapped out for the guarded heap.
The guarded heap has some useful features that make it desirable to use
while having the disadvantage of a large memory and address space
overhead which make it unusable in some situations. Therefore the
guarded heap cannot simply replace the debug heap but should still be
made available. As the heap init needs to happen even before having
environment variables, the heap to use can not be chosen dynamically.
Exposing them through their own libraries is the next best thing.

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Goals

  • Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
  • Clean, clear, concise code.
  • Unified desktop environment.

Trying Haiku

Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Compiling Haiku

See ReadMe.Compiling.

Contributing

Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!

Contributing code

Contributing documentation

The main piece of documentation that still needs work are the API docs (found in the tree at src/docs/user). Just find an undocumented class, write documentation for it, and submit a patch.
