We should not care what apache does in unix, instead if someone ports it over to Amiga, he should add the proper checks to malloc.
and thats the main reason, wy many devs left amiga, amiga devs should do more than other.they should make their program run on a 060/50 well or in case of MOS OS4 should run too on slow PPC 600-1 GHZ Systems.
When look what systems are currently on desktop, they are all more powerfull as this systems.so devs safe time, when they develop not for Amiga systems.
the Amiga OS does only very few grow in compare to other OS, there is red versus blue war.this mean user say sometimes new features are crap because their loved OS have them not(.This should demotivate the "enemy" side to enhance more to avoid trolling.so all in all AOS stay on low quality level.
Programs can not easy port from MOS to OS4 etc.some programs are done seperate by a OS4 or MOS OS developer or other, but very few working together.
Additional work cost time, and if a dev not love the amiga very much, wy he should spend additional time and stay on Amiga ?
On Unix there is virtual unlimited mem on amiga not.68k have luck so there is a virtual mem solution, but using virtual mem is slow.i dont like virtual mem, and notice suddenly much slowdown, so i better switch off.and many 68k users have no vmem active.
ffplay is over 12 megabyte sourcecode, this mean 12 million characters, now a porter should find out in this 12 million source lines which do the crash.
its hopless and much work, that Linux or windows progs work in low memory situation, because coders are so lazy here and dont check for enough mem, because of virtual mem system never can run out of mem.
I dont understand wy in the memalloc there is a diffrence in compare to Harddrive, so i think this feature is same usefull as on hardrives standard.
when harddrive is full then a requester come and the user can free mem and continue, wy should not do same on memalloc by default ?
If some rare situations as apache without User dont need it, it can switch off.
without the feature ffplay crash when show a digicam pic of size 3000*2000 when there are not 50 megabyte ram free.
i have more todo than fixing all Unix programs that do not check for enough mem.
and so nobody can report ffplay is crap because it crash showing a pic, this message was mainly add, because the other "sides" maybe dont like that 68k is furtherdevelop, and they look carefully in the hope to find something negative
So its no wonder that there are more and more left amiga and there is really less progress here and the disadvantage for amiga and other OS get more and more.
the reason that this happen is not the bancrupt of commodore i think , it is the split and the users who want fight that the commercial side get more users.
there are not left much here, so other side cant get much users that buy for much money a new amiga system.when i look on download for OS4 ffmpeg and ffmpeg GUI in OS4 depot, (newest version is only here and news links are to os4depot and its longer here)
it have 280 downloads.68k version come in the 6 days to 245 downloads and also some amikit downloads that contain this files.numbers i not know
so there is no reason that 68k should not furtherdevelop both systems are valid on more or less same dead or alive
amiga should make fun and not fight for all costs for users.
i dont want fight for system, i like use amiga dopus magellan2 and i think when i really spend much work on change ixemul name, there come other that bashing, so do only what go in fastest time.
