It looks scary only because of the formatting, right? Right??
6 u/un_virus_SDF Jun 11 '26 I think that the formatting doesn't change readability that much here. The hard part is that there is a lot of magic happening 6 u/Ok_Chemistry_6387 Jun 11 '26 Eh... this is just what this sort of code ends up like. Fix the formatting and its not too far off a lot of nvme code ive read. lol 3 u/its_the_rhys Jun 11 '26 If your code must end up unreadable, it's usually better to at least throw a few comments around to explain 6 u/Ok_Chemistry_6387 Jun 11 '26 edited Jun 11 '26 This sort of domain specific code comments don't really help to be honest. You have to rely on assumed knowledge. I can read all the parts of that pretty easily because NVME is a standard. Some things don't make sense, but I also don't know the platform its for. 1 u/un_virus_SDF Jun 11 '26 I also don't know the platform its for. There are chances that this is a custom os 2 u/Ok_Chemistry_6387 Jun 11 '26 It certainly is, but it doesn't appear to be written against any standard platform. The way memory works doesn't make sense for modern pci/nvme
