Is there a good ?where to start? source where I can get answers to question like ?How?? and ?Can this be x-built??

If you check out a copy of IcedTea (hg clone http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea6) you'll find the sources for Zero in two places: ports/hotspot/src/cpu/zero ports/hotspot/src/os_cpu/linux_zero To make it work on OpenSolaris you'll have to port the latter. Do you have any kind of Java running on your system right now?

If you have a favourite 32-bit platform that needs something special to do 64-bit atomic copies then os_linux_zero.hpp is the place to add it. Cheers, Gary -- http://gbenson.net/
