On: C for All

[dralley]

counterexample: RedoxOS

Although it's more along the lines of Plan9 - a unix-like system that ignores the bits of POSIX that really suck.

[pjmlp → dralley]

If it doesn’t support 100% POSIX it isn’t UNIX.

Also how would you make memcpy() safe in a POSIX implementation on Redox?

[IAmLiterallyAB → pjmlp]

Almost nothing is 100% POSIX. Most Linux distros aren't. Who cares as long as the important bits are there.

[aidenn0 → pjmlp]

Then most linux distributions aren't UNIX, as they do tend to deviate from POSIX in places.

[nine_k → aidenn0]

It's GNU/Linux, and GNU = GNU is Not Unix.

So it says Not Unix right on th tin.

[boomlinde → pjmlp]

To be perfectly fair, if it isn't UNIX it isn't UNIX.

Easy, don't have memcpy().
