It's a specification which defines the interface between a multiboot boot loader and a multiboot kernel. A multiboot loader can load any multiboot OS, and a multiboot OS can be loaded by any multiboot loader.Zofu wrote:1-What is multiboot?
I don't believe there is, but you could check sizeof() to make sure.2-Is there any difference between:
Code: Select all
#pragma pack(push, 1)
struct whatever
{
};
#pragma pack(pop)Concurrent Versioning System (?). It's a way of storing program sources, checking them out to multiple programmers without overwriting somebody else's changes, and tracking different versions of code. Source control itself is really useful, even with only one programmer. CVS in particular is OK, though experienced professional programmers tend to prefer, say, Perforce or Visual Sourcesafe.3-what is cvs?
Has VSS gotten that much better? I worked with it in 1997 and it was practically unusable (it was the main cause of our revision-control problems, in fact), but I haven't looked at it in years so I don't know what's changed.Tim Robinson wrote: CVS in particular is OK, though experienced professional programmers tend to prefer, say, Perforce or Visual Sourcesafe.
