OS hacking: Let's teach 'kill' to understand signal names

[lxak]

Please keep on making these little coding sessions in Serenity! I always really like the monthly Update-Videos, because they are nice and short and it's of course always cool to see new features. The two recent videos inside Serenity tick the same boxes for me and are a nice addition imo, as they showcase a bit more of the potential everyday workflow inside Serenity. If it also helps to find bugs and improve the usability of the system, it's a double win :)

Watching the Serenity videos is getting dangerous; now I want to write my own OS haha.

I actually learned most of the C++ syntax and usage by watching you coding and from the source code of SerenityOS. It will be very useful for my CadexOS (I'm not taking any code from SerenityOS because I can't. CadexOS is not Unix-like and doesn't have an initrd and VFS)

Love the series and your talks. I'm a recent CS grad but my degree has only touched the tip of the iceberg when it comes to systems. I am going to learn systems dev and write my own kernel to start with.

I've spotted a little mistake: initially you wrote NSIG correctly in the static_assert call, but then you replaced it with 32, making it hardcoded (7:30), which defeats the purpose of the assertion.

Finally some code that my C brain can understand

when I ran git pull on the local repo of SerenityOS in my machine, in the Userlang/expr.cpp had 580 additions.

More reasons to add vim-y macro support to HackStudio :^)

[WorldOfCokie]

Is vim already ported to Serenity? You could just use vim macro while editing SIG names.

I tested Serenity using QEMU in Ubuntu that was running in QEMU on my Windows 10 PC.

Nice background! From where did you get these beautiful wallpapers?

Sorry for the comments, but did you change the font? It looks a bit like the 'Liza' font.
