SUMMARY	theKernel - A library that adds an object layer with language bindings to the C language
NEWS FROM: 30 oct, 2024	The main focus was Ruby integration into NHI10 . NEW features MkRefDecrWithUnlinkSelf - this function is used in the target implementation of MkObjectDelete and executes an additional MkSelfUnlink before the MkRefDecrWithoutSelf to guarantee that the META is separated from the SELF and the SELF is separated from the META. MkSysPrintProcessMemoryMap - this function is used in MkDisasterSignal to provide additional information in the event of a fatal error. AllRtSetup_XYZ - A new group of "runtime" macros has been introduced to simplify the initialization of the Thread-Local-Global-Namespace (RUNTIME) in the special case where multiple runtimes are present. MK_ATTR_CLASS MK_ATTR_INSTANCE MK_ATTR_RT_CLASS MK_ATTR_RT_INSTANCE - A new set of macros has been introduced to simplify the connection of meta to the target language in the header file. MK_CLASS_RT MK_INSTANCE_RT_XYZ - A new set of macros has been introduced to detect a possible implementation error in the source file MkObjectLog, MkObjectToString - These virtual functions have been switched to the attribute __parser__(class-overload) so that no new code is generated in the Target-Programming-Language (TPL), but the implementation in MkObjectC is called directly. This makes the library slimmer and therefore more efficient. BUG fix A bug in MkObjectHandleGet was fixed by changing the argument to __parser__(null-allowed). This was necessary to eliminate a NULL pointer error in Remote-Procedure-Call (RPC) with C.

DETAILS	theKernel is an infrastructure that link an library-item with a Target-Programming-Language (TPL) using the Programming-Language-Micro-Kernel (PLMK) object-interface. The goal is a programming language independent interface between a C library and a target language. Philosophy Write Once → Run Everywhere The library-item is a c-api for a library available as c-header-file. The library-item is mapped into a Target-Programming-Language (TPL) using a language that is supported by the Programming-Language-Micro-Kernel (PLMK). Supported Languages are: (C,C++,C#,VB.NET,Java,Python,Ruby,Perl,PHP,Tcl or GO) Strategy It takes 4 years to write a programming-language, but it only takes 4 weeks to insert a micro-kernel. The library-item is connected to the Target-Programming-Language (TPL) using an api-layer generated by the token-stream-compiler of the Programming-Language-Micro-Kernel (PLMK). Conclusion theKernel is used to manage a collection of library-items using an API that is available in all major programming-languages.
