Norman Feske 3d7b92ea50 Generalize ABI mechanism to shared objects This patch make the ABI mechanism available to shared libraries other than Genode's dynamic linker. It thereby allows us to introduce intermediate ABIs at the granularity of shared libraries. This is useful for slow-moving ABIs such as the libc's interface but it will also become handy for the package management. To implement the feature, the build system had to be streamlined a bit. In particular, archive dependencies and shared-lib dependencies are now handled separately, and the global list of 'SHARED_LIBS' is no more. Now, the variable with the same name holds the per-target list of shared libraries used by the target.		2017-01-13 13:06:54 +01:00

README

This is generic part of the Genode implementation. It consists of two parts:

:_Core_: is the ultimate root of the Genode application tree
  and provides abstractions for the lowest-level hardware resources
  such as RAM, ROM, CPU, and generic device access. All generic parts of Core
  can be found here - for system-specific implementations refer to the
  appropriate 'base-<system>' directory.

:_Base libraries and protocols_: that are used by each Genode component
  to interact with other components. This is the glue that holds everything
  together.
