[okl4-developer] Some questions on the OK Linux POSIX support

       Hi all,


when looking at the "posix" example which is proposed in OKL4, I don't 
see any POSIX call in it.

Indeed this is just a printf "Hello World" as you can see in the source 
file $OKL4_ROOT_DIR/libs/posix/src/hello.c file.

#include <hello.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int
hello_world (void)
{
    printf("Hello world! from POSIX land\n");
    return 0;
}

and when looking at the different source files of the posix support a 
lot of UNIMPLEMENTED are written...

So I ask me some questions on the current status of the POSIX support in 
OK Linux and on its associated
roadmap if one exists...

Is it just a question of time or are there also tricky technical 
questions to resolve ?

Can we imagine a simple mapping for example between an OKL4 mutex and a 
POSIX one ?

    Regards,

           Hugues Balp.
