@@ -1,3 +1,19 @@ +TCCQ's fork of vi +========================= + +This is a small fork of a port of vi to modern posix systems. The changes +are primarily aimed at making compile and work with musl. Specifically +instead of allocating scratch space with sbrk it just preallocates a +large (64MB) buffer in .bss and relies on OS level paging to not waste +more physical memory than is necessary. Note that this means that the +memory usage is unlikely to decrease meaningfully after going up. +For vi which often doesn't have super long running sessions I deem this +acceptable. + +This version compiles and works nicely with tinycc and/or musl. Any C99 +compiler should work fine. + + Welcome to the ex/vi port! ========================== |
