One may acheive that using the preprocessor at best, and if not possible the compiler.

The idea is to avoid touching too much on the frontend. That would introduce software bloat and instability.

Examples (from Ne.app' Visual Nectar):

#include <GenericsLibrary/io.nhh>
#include <GenericsLibrary/std.nhh>

let main() {
    async {
        try {
            writefn("%s", "Hello, World!\n");
        }
        except {
            // if it doesn't go through, abort program.
            abort();
        }
    } await {
        // While awaiting, execute code.
    }
}

It is simple to read, and the user can roll its own implementation.

Principles of the GL:

• 'Algorithms'
• 'Containers'
• 'Traits'

The Algorithms have to be generic and fit-it-all:

The following implementation implements and iterator in a generic algorithmic way.

impl iterator : trait iterator_traits
{
    let begin(let self)
    {
	    must_pass(self._begin != self._end);
	
        let begin := self._begin;
        return begin;
    }

    let end(let self)
    {
	    must_pass(_begin != _end);
	
        let end := self._end;
        return end;
    }

    let size(let self)
    {
	    must_pass(self._size > 0);
        return self._size;
    }
};

Here you don't have to know what it does exactly, you can just plug it in every type that conforms to iterator_traits.

Principles of the GL:

• 'Algorithms'
• 'Containers'
• 'Traits'

Or, the ACT library design principle. This series of post will go deep in the principles and implementation of Nectar.

It is recommended you read the primers first.

Figure 1: The Architecture.

The Notes:

• LibDDK sits between the kernel and userspace, as drivers gets loaded by the DDK in either:
  • Kernel Space (Privileged mode)
  • User Space (Unprivileged mode)
• BootZ is the modular bootloader for NeKernel's architecture. In an embedded system this is very useful as you may want to habe your own firmware backend instead of the already supported ones (NeBoot, EFI.)

Conclusion:

I hope this article was useful for everyone studying or integrating NeKernel in their project.

OCL is a modular set of libraries, all of which must be based on OCL.Core.

As we want to guarantee a base framework for the libraries to understand each other.

Examples of OCL:

You may find more examples of OCL's usage on https://git.nekernel.org.

#include <ocl/tproc/rope.hpp>
#include <iostream>

You realize that OCL's objective is to be as close as possible to the C++ SL. And that's because it's much needed for code-bases to be closer to their SL than let's way adopting other practices that aren't quite compatible with it.

What's next?

Next we're going to discuss more about other system design rationales. And possibly some papers I wrote (and still writing).

Here's the good stuff...

Assume for n > 0, such that n != +inf.

So?

That's it. I'll be writting about Open C++ Libraries next time.

Yeah.

That's it.

So I made a math post :)

Figure 1:

So I made a math post :)

Figure 1:

The TProc Library uses the Rope structure—as defined in its similarly named paper. We will in this blog post study its implementation through OCL's TProc.

Introduction

Let us walk through the TProc library in a structured manner.

Definition of a TProc Example:

Let the following C++ source:

/*
 * File: example.cpp
 * Purpose: Rope example.
 * Author: Amlal El Mahrouss (amlal@nekernel.org)
 * Copyright 2025, Amlal El Mahrouss, licensed under the Boost Software License.
 */

#include <ocl/tproc/rope.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <memory>

#ifndef STANDALONE
using namespace ocl;
#else
using namespace boost;
#endif

int main()
{
	auto rope = tproc::crope("The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog");
	auto new_elem = std::make_unique<tproc::crope>(", and Jumps again.");
	
	rope.concat(new_elem.get());

	std::cout << *++rope << std::endl;
}

Three things are done:

• 'rope' has ownership of 'new_elem'.
• calling 'std::cout' (or any 'std::ostream' really.) on rope will return the complete rope string of rope.
• The data structure is O(log n)—which makes it perfect for text processing applications.

What this solves:

The following is addresed in TProc:

• Text manipulation.
• Performance aware programs.

Conclusion:

The TProc is free-software, available at: ocl.nekernel.org. On both GitHub and Codeberg.

Let G be a theory that formally defines execution semantics (domains, contexts, authority). Let O be any theory of computational behavior.

• If O models computation, then O requires execution to occur.
• Therefore O implicitly depends on G's primitives (execution must be defined for computation to be theorized).
• G does not depend on O (execution semantics are primitive, not derived from computational models).

Conclusion:

We cannot derive G from O without circularity:

• Deriving execution semantics from O would mean "execution depends on a theory that assumes execution exists"
• This creates an impossible circular dependency
• Therefore G must be axiomatic - a foundational primitive that cannot be reduced to other computational theories

Any attempt to make G = O or G ⊆ O fails because O already assumes G's primitives exist.

The Nectar is a programming language that supports generics through its GenericsLibrary. The GenericsLibrary provides a set of abstractions and utilities to define and manipulate generic types and functions.

Possible Implementation of N in Nectar:

impl N
{
    let init()
    {
        return;
    }

    let dispose()
    {
        return;
    }

    let begin(let it)
    {
        let end := it._begin;
        return end;
    }

    let end(let it)
    {
        let end := it._begin;
        end += it._end;

        return end;
    }

    let size(let it)
    {
        let sz := it._size;
        return sz;
    }
};

Properties of N and Y:

Let Y be a set of types with specific properties. Let N be an object mapping functors to Y properties.

• N Shall provide functions to manipulate Y generically.
• N May be extended to support additional Y types and properties.

Let N(m) denote the instantiation of N for a specific Y type.

• N(m) Shall be defined for all Y types m that satisfy the required properties

The Theory is now available at NeKernel.org.

Abstract:

An execution domain is defined as previously stated here.

An execution authority is responsible for defining whose semantics may be used for an execution context.

A trait is a set of formal rules defining the semantic concepts of an execution context.

Let A be an execution authority of type T where T is an traits of an execution context.

Properties:

Let C denote an execution domain in an execution context E. Let Z denote an execution domain in an execution context X.

• If X does not equal or is not semantically substitutable with Z -- or vice versa. Then C shall not equal to Z.
• If Z or C are defined as null execution context, then the said context -- defined as N is not equal to (!N).

A new version of NeKernel.org has been released. The sources are available on GitHub and Codeberg.

Check it out: nekernel.org

On the Primers

A new category have been added on the website as well -- they contain the primers -- and additional resources you'd need to understand and build on nekernel.

Screenshots

The Theory is now available at NeKernel.org.

Abstract:

An execution domain defines a boundary for execution semantics, resource visibility, and control flow.

Let C denote an execution domain in an execution context E.

Let D be of same type of C but of a different execution context.

Properties:

• C shall be not equal to D, as C has a different execution context than D.
• C may be composed of sub-programs within the execution context E.

On Execution Contexts:

Execution contexts are treated as abstract semantic parameters, and execution domains as abstract structures indexed by those parameters.

Attention

The Nectar Primer is now available at NeKernel.org.

Abstract

This blog will lead you through the basics of the Nectar programming language, its features, and its use cases.

Nectar by example: Main Function

As of right now, a simple Nectar program looks like this:

import nstd::iostream;

let main()
{
    let six_seven = 100;
    let eight_nine = 1;
    iostream{}.consume(1, 67);

    return 0;
}

Nectar by Example: Structure

Nectar supports user-defined structures, allowing you to create complex data types easily.

struct iostream
{
    type <class Tp_>
    let consume(Tp_& val)
    {
        printf("%p", val);
    }
    
    let read()
    {
        return getchar();
    }
};

let shared_io()
{
	let io := new;
    io := iostream{};
	return io;
}

Nectar is designed with simplicity and safety in mind.

Use Cases of Nectar:

• Real-time Applications
• Telecommunications
• Financial Systems

Implementation

The implementation of Nectar is open-source and can be found on GitHub: Nectar Language Repository.

Attention

The NeKernel Primer is now available at NeKernel.org.

Abstract

This blog will lead you through the basics of the NeKernel operating system, its architecture, and its use cases.

NeKernel by example: The Systems Architecture

NeKernel is designed with a modular architecture that allows for easy customization and scalability. The core components include:

• Microkernel: Handles low-level tasks such as memory management, process scheduling, and inter-process communication.
• User Space: Contains user applications and services that run on top of the microkernel.
• Device Drivers: Modular drivers that can be loaded and unloaded as needed, providing support for various hardware components.

NeKernel by example: The ErrorOr monad

One of the key features of NeKernel is its robust error handling mechanism using the ErrorOr type. This type encapsulates either a successful result or an error, allowing for safer and more predictable code.

Those error codes are defined in the KPC protocol. Which is located at KPC.h

ErrorOr<PTEWrapper> pteWrapper = Pmm.GrabPage(addr);

if (pteWrapper.HasError())
{
    return /* Your error handling goes there. */
}

Uses cases of NeKernel

• Base OS: NeKernel can serve as the foundation for various operating systems, providing a stable and efficient core.
• Embedded Systems: Its modular design makes it suitable for embedded systems where resources are limited
• Research and Development: NeKernel's open architecture allows researchers to experiment with new OS concepts and designs.

Implementation

The implementation of NeKernel is open-source and can be found on GitHub: NeKernel System Repository.

New Libraries:

• TProc (Text Processing Library)

Updated Libraries

	auto it = ocl::tproc::rope::starts_with_pred<ocl::tproc::crope>{"The Quick"}(rope.cbegin(), rope.cend());

	auto it_end = ocl::tproc::rope::ends_with_pred<ocl::tproc::crope>{"Lazy Dog"}(rope.cbegin(), rope.cend());

	ocl::io::println(it_end->data());
	ocl::io::println(it->data());

	auto new_elem = new ocl::tproc::crope(", and Jumps again.");
	auto ret_elem = rope.concat(new_elem);

	ocl::io::println(ret_elem->data());

Best wishes to everyone!!

I will be writing about NeKernel and Open C++ Libraries design in a more frequent manner!

:) Amlal

I: Abstract.

The pattern is a low-level system allocator designed to handle custom or standard allocators in the C++ programming language. Available on the Open C++ Libraries, its purpose is to serve custom allocators and pools for C++ developers.

II: Usages.

You can only use smart pointers using this type, the rationale is because we'd rather enforce RAII than taking care of deallocation ourselves. As the allocation operators may be susceptible to memory leaks.

using int_alloc_type = ocl::allocator<int>;

int_alloc_type alloc;
std::shared_ptr<int> ptr = alloc.construct_array<1>();
*ptr = 5;
/// gets freed by the ABI using RAII!

III: Conclusion

I hope this pattern and the Open C++ Libraries will be useful to C++ developers! The library also includes Hashing, and a separate FIX submodule. Amlal.

Abstract

As you may know, I introduced BenchKit a while ago, and it hasn't been used much since. We'll be talking about how doing Premature Benchmarks could slow down your development time.

I: The Myth of benchmarking everything.

First things first, you'd have to get a good reason to benchmark in the first place. There is things that don't need to be benchmarked, others do however.

I do believe that there's no rule in finding use cases and they're context specific.

II: When to benchmark.

When you are done with the code, literally. There's no need to benchmark unfinished code.

II: When not to benchmark.

When your code doesn't do what it does. Why benchmark code that doesn't do its purpose yet?

I: Abstract

The Vettable pattern instructs whether a container should be vetted or not, It comes of as handy in low-level/systems programming codebases. This blog post will talk about its usage in NeKernel.

When a vet fails, a fallback shall be provided. A fallback may be a function pointer or a function wrapper.

Vetting is very efficient when it comes to security and enforcing the software design, as it blocks non vettable or vettable containers from being used in some parts, or restricts usage to them.

Part One: The IsVettable concept.

template <typename Type, FallbackType OnFallback>
concept IsVettable = requires() {
  { Vettable<Type>::kValue ? TrueResult<Type>::kValue : OnFallback(PropertyResult<Type>::kValue) };
};

This guarantees that the object is vettable, otherwise the fallback gets called.

Part Three: The Method of Container Vettability.

The method of container vettability resides in the need to focus on where failure is critical, for example a UserProcess is subject to vetting, whereas an int is not.

III: Conclusion.

This simple pattern is easy and flexible, Although it may not fit every need of every project, the Vettable pattern is a good start for codebase harderning and the software design stage of a project. As it guarantees that rules are being followed in the codebase.

• Vettable.h

I: Abstract

Nectar has introduced two new primitives for Reference holding, WeakRef and StrongRef. The idea is to separate references as strong and weak references.

This extends and deprecates the Ref pattern in Nectar.

II: Principle

You should be able to hold references to a pointer without having to own it. That is the purpose of a WeakRef, however the StrongRef does the opposite. StrongRef mandates that the pointer may be deleted by the class itself to guarantee RAII.

However this is heavily context dependent and shall respect the codebase guidelines and its software design rules.

Bonus: WeakRef

WeakRef<AstLeaf> refLeaf{weakAst};
/** usage... */
/** refLeaf is not freed! */

Bonus: StrongRef

StrongRef<DLLLoader> dllRef{dll};
/** usage... */
/** dllRef is freed! */

Note: On NonNullRef

NonNullRef shall be a strong reference by default, as referencing a weak reference that may be null defeats the purpose of a NonNull container.

Abstract

There is a reference implementation of the sysroot pattern, more specifically here sysroot.

References

• https://github.com/nekernel-org/sysroot

This posts talks about an idea of mine called auto_cast.
Which consists of a structure casting a source type T into an automatic type Y.

The container itself is easy to implement in modern C++. Bear in mind that operator auto is set to be deprecated in future C++ releases.
As per https://cplusplus.github.io/CWG/issues/1878.html says.

II: Replacing operator auto: The case for templates.

Using the operator, you can cast away decltype(ref) to ret's type (which is long*).
That's the magic behind this class, no need to specify a target type.
You'd have to do the following:

int main() {
    auto ref = new long long(1337);
    long* ret = auto_cast<decltype(ref)>{ref};

    /// ...
}

The source code of auto_cast is available at: https://godbolt.org/z/dWTac9b35

III: Conclusion:

The auto_cast is an interesting idea about automatic casting if I'd give it a name, the idea about whether it's a good idea or not is up to debate though. And I am open to such debates.

Amlal.

Abstract

NeKernel targets multiple cores, thus the need of an Application Processors Subsystem.

Methodology: The APS architecture.

A few possibilites with that architecture: - Map cores to a HW Thread structure, A C++ structure. - Make it run our task when it is registered by mp_register_task - We keep the thread ID from the HTS (HardwareThreadScheduler) inside the HW Thread. - And we plug that into the higher level of the scheduler architecture.

This way the design is modular, easy to extend, and easily debuggable.

Implementation: mp_register_task C++ function.

EXTERN_C BOOL mp_register_task(HAL::StackFramePtr stack_frame, ProcessID thrdid);

Rationale: Meta-scheduling.

Meta-scheduling governs how scheduling backends run tasks using a common protocol shared among them. In this case CPS shares the protocol for UPS and KTS.

The APS makes task scheduling and affinity much easier to implement, thanks to Methodology of Freestanding Development as well, we can make it safer and more maintable in the long run.

References:

• Methodology of Freestanding Development
• NeKernel

Abstract

Acting as the software distribution for NeKernel. this was developed to hold the its components and sysroot altogether.

The SysRoot Rationale:

There is three main reasons for this repository's existence:

• Hold the codebase in a single repository, which is way more maintnable than a fragmented one.
• Easier path resolutions based on a virtual root path, i.e (../kernel -> /src/kernel)
• Make releases cycle easier to document and deploy than before.

Why a SysRoot?

There is two reasons for a sysroot architecture:

• We avoid deployment scattering.
• Easier tooling can be written for such repositories. e.g: checkpath.py, mkfs.py.

Conclusion:

A SysRoot architecture guarantees a sound and verifiable architecture for embedded and general software systems. Use it wisely to prepare software deployments.

Abstract

Because NeKernel needs a stable and clean scheduling model, to let us expand it to other goals.

The Idea:

It consists of multiple concepts modularized in the GitHub Organization look for HardwareThreadScheduler, ThreadLocalStorage, CoreProcessScheduler, and UserProcessScheduler inside KernelKit.

References

• https://github.com/nekernel-org/nekernel
• https://github.com/nekernel-org/draft

Abstract

Some processes require more CPU time than others. Over time, balancing these demands improves overall system responsiveness and efficiency.

Methodology: Process Time and Run Time.

The scheduler adjusts a process's PTime (Process Time) using its RTime (Run Time). If a process runs more than its allotted share, the system modifies both PTime and RTime, and adjusts the process's affinity accordingly.

UPDATE: A new variable UTime (Usage time) has been introduced to track the total time a process has been running, which helps in determining how much CPU time it should receive next.

Example: C++ Code based on real NeKernel code.

Taken from the develop branch commit 58d2af1:

if (UserProcessHelper::CanBeScheduled(process)) {
  /// ...
  
  if (UserProcessHelper::Switch(process.StackFrame, process.ProcessId)) {
    process.PTime = static_cast<Int32>(process.Affinity);

    if (process.PTime < process.RTime && AffinityKind::kRealTime != process.Affinity) {
      if (process.RTime < (Int32) AffinityKind::kVeryHigh)
        process.RTime += (Int32) AffinityKind::kLowUsage;
      else if (process.RTime < (Int32) AffinityKind::kHigh)
        process.RTime += (Int32) AffinityKind::kStandard;
      else if (process.RTime < (Int32) AffinityKind::kStandard)
        process.RTime += (Int32) AffinityKind::kHigh;

      process.PTime -= process.RTime;
      process.RTime = 0UL;
    }
  }
} else {
  ++process.RTime;
  --process.PTime;
}

Conclusion

This logic dynamically adapts the execution privileges of each process to avoid starvation and ensure real-time constraints are met, while still maintaining fairness across system workloads. The CPS's balancing design reflects the need to handle processes needs accordingly, no process is created equal, and that's a big assumption in the UPS's architecture.

Abstract

Part Three: Memory and C++ Classes

This last part treats about the final and most important part of this paper so far. Memory. As you may already have known, the C++ language uses a class lookup system (also called v-table) in order to refer to a base method in case if the instance has it missing.

Notice

This part is fully available as a PDF document here. it will be updated accordingly.

Abstract

Part Two: Constexpr and Friends

As you can see these two structures leverages the "constexpr" keyword to make sure that no bugs or panic occurs at runtime because of a misuse of a system resource.
Which is why the constexpr keyword is very powerful here, we avoid the many pitfalls of writing (and hoping) that the C version will be well-thought enough so that we can catch such bugs later.

Bonus: Concept and the Device Driver Kit

The following shows how powerful C++ can be when combining it with Device Driver development as well.

/// Reference implementation: https://github.com/nekernel-org
/// /nekernel/blob/stable/src/libDDK/DriverKit/c%2B%2B/driver_base.h
/// @brief This concept requires the Driver to be IDriverBase compliant.

/// @brief Consteval helper to detect
/// whether a template is truly based on IDriverBase.
/// @note This helper is consteval only.

Abstract

Many and most kernels have been shipped using the C programming language. And some of them like EKA2 uses the C++ programming language. Although notoriously difficult, one may still adapt to those constraints in order to deliver one such operating system kernel. That is the reason that most production-grade kernels (Linux, XNU, and NT) are mostly written in C. With a higher-level subset in C++. However, when correctly applying C++ principles to kernel development, one makes the development much more easier to pull off.
