+ <teythoon> braunr: i meant to ask about the futex stuff
+ <teythoon> what do you mean when you talk about the interface ?
+ <teythoon> i imagined something like this
+ <braunr> more precisely ?
+ <teythoon> for shared futexes, do not use a pointer, but a right
+ referencing a memory object, and the offset ?
+ <braunr> why not a pointer ?
+ <braunr> well, an address
+ <teythoon> that's how it's currently done, right ?
+ <teythoon> in marins prototype i mean
+ <braunr> yes
+ <braunr> it's a task/address pair
+ <teythoon> so the only concern is the access in the kernel ?
+ <braunr> hum not only no
+ <braunr> or yes, but there are multiple ways to access
+ <teythoon> i meant to say this, for me, it would be very helpful if you
+ were more explicit when you describe how you picture something
+ <braunr> i thought i did it clearly
+ <braunr> i even agree with what roland describes
+ <braunr> which looks even clearer
+ <braunr> also, i said i didn't picture it completely
+ <braunr> :)
+ <braunr> i didn't want to work on that, only review
+ <teythoon> sure, but what might be clear to you is most likely not that
+ clear to me
+ <braunr> ok
