AmigaOS Memory protection, preemptive?
« on: May 10, 2009, 03:50:00 AM »
Is there any functionality for memory protection on those m68k processors that support it?, ie such that programs can't just poke around and take down the OS.

Swapping is supported with AmigaOS v4.0 so I thought maybe there's a chance.

You send the message to the kernel which then takes ownership of that memory range. Then the program can trash all around without any effect ;)
