Getting the memory size with Limine
Hello! While reading the Limine protocol specification i noticed that it says that "all non-usable entries (including kernel/modules) are not guaranteed any alignment, nor is it guaranteed that they do not overlap other entries". How am I supposed to get the memory size then? If the memory map entries can overlap, then summing their lengths won't work. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

How do I make a bootloader that boots into a c kernel
It's way easier to use a pre-existing bootloader. I recommend Limine. It has it's own boot protocol that's designed for x86_64. You don't need any additional setup as it's already booted to long mode unlike Multiboot which needs you to switch to long mode since it's booted in protected mode. You can find an example kernel here.
