That word always triggers flashbacks to my MS-DOS days, when my product ran under the DOS4GW[^] DOS extender. Thunks from protected to real mode and then back again were A Bad Thing because you could drop interrupts during the mode change. To alleviate some of this problem you implemented bimodal interrupt handling, where you installed interrupt handlers for devices both in real mode and protected mode code. If you were especially <GollumVoice>tricksy</GollumVoice> you had one source file that you compiled using Microsoft C for real mode, and Watcom C for protected mode.
Good times.

I wasn't quite old enough to use Watcom back in that era, but I hae a similar reaction when seeing the word thunk.
Came from the time I wrote a class library to wrap Windows objects with. Pulling a pointer to the class instance from the long value associated with a window.
Looking back at the source code now would probably add even more silver to my hair.

I have always been geek-proud over that time, mainly because I had two connections to the original DOOM. As I mentioned in my earlier post, I was using the same DOS extender DOS4GW as they used in the game. I also discovered much later that DOOM used a hidden-surface removal algorithm using binary space partitioning[^] that I implemented in 1982 as an undergraduate independent study project.enhzflep wrote: Looking back at the source code now would probably add even more silver to my hair
