Add SSE instruction support to assembler. (Only 2-arg instructions implemented. CosmiC assembler needs expanding to allow 3+ arg instructions.) (Only <= 4 byte instructions implemented. CosmiC assembler needs expanding to allow instructions larger than 4 bytes.) (Bugs: Unassembler incorrectly reports 0x66 prefixed opcodes, non-128-bit instruction arguments report as U128. CosmiC does not yet have support for U128.) Fix Std Font characters. Add links to ZealOS-specific apps in Personal Menu. Remove all files in /Downloads.

<a name="l24"></a>
<a name="l25"></a>* </span><span class=cF2>One memory map</span><span class=cF0> for all tasks on all cores with virtual addresses set equal to physical, just as though paging is not used.

<a name="l27"></a>* One platform -- </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amd64#AMD64"><span class=cF4>x86_64</span></a><span class=cF0> PC's, no 32-bit support.
<a name="l28"></a>
<a name="l29"></a>* No security or cryptography.
<a name="l30"></a>
<a name="l31"></a>* Least (greatest) common denominator hardware support. Mostly, one driver for each device class. We can't be in the
<a name="l32"></a>business of different drivers. Compatibility is the greatest challenge for PC operating systems. Disk code does not use
<a name="l33"></a>interrupts, avoiding compatibility risks. </span><span class=cF2>PS/2</span><span class=cF0> keyboard/mouse is used instead of </span><span class=cF2>USB</span><span class=cF0>, also more compatible.

<a name="l37"></a>* One font, 8x8. Text and graphic layers done in software with text normally on an 8x8 grid.
<a name="l38"></a>
<a name="l39"></a>* Compiler extends all values to 64-bit when fetched and does only 64-bit computations intermediately. Assembler has minimal
<a name="l40"></a>16-bit support, good enough for compiling boot loaders.

2021-10-30 10:12:52 +01:00
<a name="l62"></a>* All tasks have a heap and a symbol table. Scope is that of environment variables in other operating systems. As text is
<a name="l63"></a>typed at the command line or you run programs by </span><span class=cF2>#include</span><span class=cF0>ing them, the symbols go in the table. If a symbol is not found, the
