I'd beened stalling on my #AncientUnix #Popix project, but it just got a big shot in the arm

I jus realized my #AncientC compiler had a bug where any initialized array came out twice as big as it was susposed to, fixing it has cut all my programs compiled in it by several K 😅😅

I was so worried about how on Eart' I was gonna slim everthin down enuf, now I don't gotta worry about any of that

PFFFFT it turns out me #AncientUnix #Popix bug was caused on accouna me #AncientC #C6T compiler didn't handle multi-dim arrays correck 🙃 thas all fix't now tho 💪💪

here's hopin for the next bug to be nicer as I recompile

The #C6T #AncientC compiler has a dirt simple backend which't shud be pretty easy to port to a buncha CPU's, perfornanss aside

An' the #Popix #AncientUnix kernel has v lil in the way of system dependint routines -- the biggesk hurdle is figgerin up how yer gonna handle the stack whin getting into an out of the kernel. Once't thas finich't, they's jus' a baker's dozing small utiliky routines, an yer I/O drivers -- an yer set!!

well the last few days may have been hell, BUT i distracktid meself by working on me #AncientUnix #Popix #AncientC #C6T projecks!!!

For those who don't know, I'm porting Unix V6 from 1975 to 8-bit platforms like the C64 and Altair 8800.

To do thisk, I wrote a self-hosting 8-bit compiler for the pre-K&R version of C that Unix6 uses.

Thas actually finiched! An I puts together most of the kernel, and hav it testable on the Altair... but acourse't debugging it is a ***** and a half, so to heck wit it

The past couple days, I work't up a modern VM made espeshially for the C6T language, and just now got most of *its* kernel together.

Tomorry I'm gonner put together the last bits on the VM to interack wit the hosk environmink, get a tesk user program, an try bootin up the kernel!!

(the igea being the modern VM will be a *lot* easier to debug the kernel on hehe)
