Augustin Cavalier 8a0c9d52c6 OS: Rename B_USER_CLONEABLE_AREA to B_CLONEABLE_AREA.
It now lives in OS.h. The idea is that this will now be
accessible to userland applications, so userland memory
is protected from access by other processes, just as
kernel memory is.

No functional change (the constants are still the same,
though I've changed some to use shifts to make clear
which bits are allocated are which are unused.)

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!
