"the existing messaging system" would have to be updated to 64Bit in order to make full use of it, but that would require a recompile.


Wether it would actually do anything in regard to MP is questionable and would atleast require further measures (which will break source-compability too).

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

@HenryCase

Problem is the OS can't decide wether one task made a legitemate request for data owned by another (lets say stuff running inside the input.device-task) or if it is just some roque pointer .....

Next idea is usually to just copy system-structures into each tasks private part of memory, but once you take a look into the interlinked (and open) system-structures you'll notice that ain't pratical either.
