...ode diving and I seem to have found a discrepancy between code comments and reality. This difference could hint at a bug or performance degradation, but I doubt it. I thought to ask to get clarification. In syslinux/core/mem/malloc.h, the comments and definition for arena_header, ARENA_PADDING and free_arena_header are: /* * This structure should be a power of two. This becomes the * alignment unit. */ struct arena_header { malloc_tag_t tag; size_t attrs; /* Bits 0..1: Type 2..3: Heap, 4..31: MSB of the size */ struct free_arena_header *next, *prev; #ifdef DEBUG_MALLOC unsi...

From: Brett Walker <brett.walker at geometry.com.au> Remove a discrepancy between code comments and the definition for arena_header, ARENA_PADDING and free_arena_header. When the size of int and pointer are both 32-bits; and compiled with DEBUG_MALLOC undefined; the following are true: sizeof(arena_header) == 16 and sizeof(free_arena_header) == 56. To correct this, the type of _pad needs to be changed from size_t to uint8_t. This will make sizeof(free_arena_he...

Hello, I'm a student interested in the syslinux project of Gsoc. And Isincerely hope to have the opportunity to apply the "Dynamic linker/loader for modules" project. But it seems the #syslinux channel is not so active and I can't contact a mentor about that. Could anybody help me? Thank you!

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at intel.com> Here are the patches that I've got queued up based on the very helpful feedback I received from people testing Syslinux 5.00-pre9. Unless anyone has any concerns these will make it into Syslinux 5.00-pre10. Matt Fleming (9): pxe: Don't call open_config() from the pxe core ldlinux: Print a warning if no config file is found

From: Matt Fleming <matt.fleming at linux.intel.com> This is a series of patches that, * shrink the core by moving things into an ldlinux ELF module * begin wiring up some of the C versions of various functions The core now only contains essential code and loads the ldlinux module to do everything else, like providing a command line interface and loading kernels.
