Bug Check in Marea.c
by James Tabor 12 Jan '06

12 Jan '06

Hi all, With real hardware and revision 20802, At the end of first stage and after hitting the Finish button, I can reproduce this every time too, KeBugCheck at ./ntoskrnl/mm/marea.c:901 A problem has been detected and ReactOS has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

This patent (if correct) is linked to FAT only. If is true, it would effect many things, but I can't see Microsoft enforcing it, it would alienate themselves. Just the fact that it is there is a problem for ReactOS though, even if they don't do anything about it. I haven't been able to find a copy of the patent yet. AFAIK, it was only released today.

Dev blogs
by Murphy, Ged (Bolton) 10 Jan '06

10 Jan '06

I'd quite like to see the blog page integrated into the site and made to look pretty. I also think it might entice devs to start using the thing. At the moment there is only about 4 people listed, and of those only Alex every actually uses it. Would developers make an effort to start blogging if it was 'spruced up' and integrated? If not, I think it should be removed as it looks a bit pitiful as it is and gives the impression not much is going on (which is obviously not the case) It doesn't always have to be development related stuff in there. Anything interesting draws a crowd.

Strategy for invalid parameters
by M Bealby 10 Jan '06

10 Jan '06

I was just taking a look at some ReactOS code this evening and it got me thinking about what our general strategy for handling invalid parameters is. For example, in kernel32.dll there is a function DebugBreakProcess. This function takes one parameter, a process handle. This parameter is passed through the following list of functions unchecked by any of them, until the final one will return a failure... DebugBreakProcess DbgUiIssueRemoteBreakIn RtlCreateUserThread RtlpCreateUserStack ZwAllocateVirtualMemory ObReferenceObjectByHandle Now I know this isn't a security vulnerability, which is what I was originally looking for, but it did make me think of the question of where should bounds checking be added? In this example, the process handle must be a value greater than zero. Should this simple check be added to DebugBreakProcess, or all of the above? Is there some sort of standard that everyone should work to? e.g. should all functions check their own parameters. Sure it might make it a little slower due to multiple checks but it would make ReactOS very robust. Any thoughts on this? Martin PS: Lack of activity recently had been due to uni. exams.

Project Status Report
by Steven Edwards 05 Jan '06

05 Jan '06

Hi, So here is the first in what I hope to be quarterly reports. In future reports I will provide more detail such as charts and graphs if I feel so inclined. Depending on how much goes on in a period we may make it every 6 months instead of every 3 months. Basically this report just covers what has gone on during the 0.2.x development and where we plan on going. Developers that I spoke with in private or that I have worked with are listed here as to the project I know you have or are working on. If your not listed please add yourself to http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/People_of_ReactOS Also could someone convert this from Microsoft Word to OpenOffice and or PDF and check the formatting of the doc? I lack good artistic skill so feel free to make corrections before spamming it anywhere. I think I spelled all the names right. Sorry if I left off any accent. Also as a final note if I left of your project or did not give it the coverage you feel it deserves do not take it personal. We are working on a massive project and I have not even talked to all of the people with commit access let alone know all of the things people are working on. I have tried to keep the information here as general as possible except where I feel that the public may have interest. Thanks -- Steven Edwards - ReactOS and Wine developer "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo

I haven't looked at your code yet, but the comment worries me. Does it mean that if a usermode app is stuck in a "while (1) ;" loop stuff queued by IoAllocateWorkItem( ) never gets executed? If I misunderstood, nevermind, disregard this message. If this is true we're in big trouble. We're using work items in a lot of places to get from DPC level to PASSIVE level. For example, the networking stack queues a work item when data was received from the network card. I'd hate to see a stuck usermode app halt all network communications... GvG

Optimization Proposal
by Alex Ionescu 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Hi, I have come to the conclusion that using -O2 is beneficial even for DBG = 1 builds, and that it should be set on by default on all builds. The typically given reason for not using optimizations on a "Debug" build is because these apparently make assembly code harder to read. I have realized otherwise, and as seen in the example that I will include below, I'm sure this will be mutually agreed on. I note the following advantages in using -O2 on a DBG = 1 build as well: - -O2 makes the compiler do additional checks. For example, gcc will NOT detect uninitialized variables unless -O2 is being used, even though they are a very important programming bug. Apart from finding more bugs, it also makes trunk compilable. Right now, I see at least two commits by Thomas or others being made every week in order to fix some code which used unitinialized variables (I myself have been guilty of this). This means that some of us, like Thomas, have to constantly fix other people's mistakes. - -O2 means less last-minute blockers. Because we release in -O2 but almost never build it like that, this creates a big problem for people like Andrew or Brandon, which handle the release process and do testing. Because the -O2 build gets less testing coverage, it is very possible for a critical bug to be in ROS for a month before anyone notices it at release time, in which case we will all have to scramble to find a fix for it. - -O2 will not undefine DBG or change anything else in the code. All the advatanges, extra error checking and assertions of the DBG =1 build would remain. - -O2 builds are much faster, greatly helping testing speed. - -O2 builds are much more likely to bring up race conditions and other important timing bugs we need to watch out for. - -O2 means easier debugging. This point is really important because until I realized how true it was, I didn't want to bring this up. Here is a pseudo(but real) disassembly of something I've seen in my dbg = 1 kernel binary while debugging: 0x40b845: push ebp mov ebp, esp sub esp, 4 mov [ebp-4], fs:18h mov eax, [ebp-4] leave retn 0x4bc8a5: push ebp mov ebp, esp sub esp, 4 call 0x40b845 mov ecx, [eax+1c] mov [ebp-4], eax mov eax, [ebp-4] leave retn 0x42b845: push ebp mov ebp, esp sub esp, 4 call 0x4bc8a5 mov ecx, [eax+124] mov [ebp-4], eax mov eax, [ebp-4] leave retn KeFooBar: push ebp mov ebp, esp sub esp, 4c call 0x42b845 mov [ebp-0xc], eax mov eax, [ebp-0xc] <..> leave retn This is how it looks with -O2 KeFooBar: push ebp mov ebp, esp sub esp, 4c mov eax, fs:124h <..> leave retn I hope we can all agree on which one of these is readable. The -O2 build clearly shows you that eax is fs:124h, which you oughta know is Pcrb->CurrentThread; even if you don't, you can easily check in a header. The non-o2 build calls 3 other functions, out of which 2 are merely calling other functions themselves (due to lack of symbols you have no way of knowing what these functions are doing), until we finally get to a function which does fs:18, which you then realize is the PCR, you then walk back and realize pcr->0x1c is PCRB, and Prcb->0x124 is current thread. Yes, this example could easily be destroyed by saying " use a #define with inline assembly" but I can bring many more; we can't start using inline assembly everywhere... msvc does an amazing job at optimizing these things, and even gcc isn't that bad, if only you let it. Code built without -o2 makes horrible usage of the stack, which makes you have to memory a lot more addresses then code which simple stores values in registers. Because humans are smart, the loops generated by -O2 are also much closer to what someone that understands assembly is used to (for example, the loop will use ecx, and not a stack variable that you need to memorize). I consider myself an expert on assembly coding, and I simply have great trouble reading non-O2 kernels, so how exactly does it help debugging? In the end, I am convinced that the only disadvantage of using -O2 by default is that it will slightly increase build times. I don't think this increase is more then, at most 1 minute or two for a complete build. If this issue is really critical to someone people, then perhaps only core system files should use -O2 (kernel32, ntdll, ntoskrnl, csr, win32k, drivers, etc). I know some of the developers on IRC are strongly for this, but I want to make sure I get a broader opinion. Best regards, Alex Ionescu

I use the Win32 port which comes as an add-on package with DevCpp. However I've recently switched my pen drive compiler from DevCpp to Code::Blocks I'm finding the Code::Blocks built in debugger (which also uses mingw gdb) to be excellent and have started using that in place of Insight, as it doesn't seem have any of the problems Insight has. In fact, I'm so impressed with Code::Blocks as a whole, I think it makes DevCpp obsolete and needs a backend writing for rbuild. It's certainly the best mingw enabled development tool for ROS I've come across. ;) Ged. ************************************************************************ The information contained in this message or any of its attachments is confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.

install problem
by Hartmut Birr 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

Hi, it seems, some people have problems to install reactos from the boot cd. The reason is, all newer pc with a P4-HT or an AMD64X2 cpu are multiprocessor compliant. In this case, the auto choice is multiprocessor for the computer type. If the choice isn't changed, the multiprocessor hal and the uniprocessor kernel are installed. The next boot will show an empty colored (light green or red) screen after freeldr has started reactos. I think, we should disable the auto choice for the computer type. - Hartmut

MSDN does have this to say: "Warning Because the return value can be nonzero, zero, or -1, avoid code like this: while (GetMessage( lpMsg, hWnd, 0, 0)) ..." For a bit of light hearted fun, here is the MSDN suggestion: while( (bRet = GetMessage( &msg, NULL, 0, 0 )) != 0) { if (bRet == -1) { // handle the error and possibly exit } else { TranslateMessage(&msg); DispatchMessage(&msg); } } which, IIRC (I don't have a compiler to hand) would throw up 'assignment in expression' errors with our MSVC /w4 setting. We would therefore need something like : bRet = GetMessage( &msg, NULL, 0, 0 ); while( bRet != 0 ) { if (bRet == -1) { // handle the error and possibly exit } else { TranslateMessage(&msg); DispatchMessage(&msg); } bRet = GetMessage( &msg, NULL, 0, 0 ); } Which has suddenly become rather long for a normally simple message loop routine .....

Happy New Year!
by Casper Hornstrup 02 Jan '06

02 Jan '06

Happy New Year to you all! 2005 was a great year for ReactOS. The core ReactOS code base is now 120MB large. The repository is currently 624MB large and contains ~20500 revisions. ~8000 of these revisions were created in 2005. This mean 39% of the total number of revisions created during ReactOS' entire 8 year history was created in 2005! I'm positive that we will see similar growth (if not more) in 2006. Keep up the good work! Best regards, Casper

VMWare (player) image of ROS
by Oliver Schneider 30 Dec '05

30 Dec '05

A while ago, when it was mentioned that ROS 2.9 is soon to be released I proposed to put out a VMWare image of it - never got a reply though, or missed it. It has been mentioned multiple times that VMWare is used by some ROS-devs, so this shouldn't be a problem in the first place. Since the authors of VMWare have released a so-called VMWare-Player (see http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ ), it is easy for anyone to get both (given that they don't have VMWare, yet). VMWare is certainly faster than QEMU or Bochs for several reasons and thus would be a better "experience" for potential ROS testers and users. And please don't tell me that is a kind of endorsement of VMWare, since the link on the website already is. There is at least one (much cheaper) alternative to VPC and VMWAre, called Parallels which is not mentioned on the website at all ( http://www.parallels.com/en/products/workstation/ ). I just wanted to remind all of you of this idea for (re)consideration. Cheers, Oliver

Hi, I've fixed Alex' win32k changes. First, I try to commit the original changes. I've used 'svn merge -r20366:20368 svn://svn.reactos.org/trunk/reactos' to get the changes and I'm using 'svn commit' to commit the changes again. I get an error message: I:\Sandbox\ros_work\reactos>svn commit Lösche include\win32k\bitmaps.h <snip> Sende w32api\include\wingdi.h Übertrage Daten ................svn: Übertragen fehlgeschlagen (Details folgen): svn: Source url 'svn://svn.reactos.org/trunk/reactos/include/win32k/ntgdibad.h' is from different repository svn: Ihre Log-Meldung wurde in einer Temporärdatei abgelegt: svn: 'I:/Sandbox/ros_work/reactos/svn-commit.2.tmp' Usually, I get all error messages in german. What do I make wrong? - Hartmut

I don't like it if you change every and any thing to the real windows implementation. I see no reason for this cloning. - Hartmut

Re: [ros-bugs] [Bug 399] OpenOffice Metabug

Why was this done? Having these bugs listed as blockers to 399 allows devs to find the old bugs easier in case of regressions. I don't see any downsize to keeping them listed.

Update: Office2000 install on trunk
by Steven Edwards 27 Dec '05

27 Dec '05

Hi, I am pleased to announce that with Ge's patch to fix Exception handling and Brandon and Thomas's work on the pagefile it is now possible to install Office 2000 on the trunk. You will get quite a few errrors at the end of the install due to missing dlls from MDAC/ADO that Office2000 expects a Windows 2000 system to ship with, which we of course do not have stubbed at this time. Thanks to Eric Kohls work on services msiexec is mostly happy installing Office2000 if started from the command line like the following msiexec /i data1.msi There is still issues with setup.exe properly working althogh I think this is more due to version numbers we report. We are still unable to run Office applications at this time due to unhandled exceptions which look like they are due to COM errors as well as some problems due to the amount of memory we are reporting. Both Winword and Access display message boxes saying that there is not enough memory to run the application. Also even if we do get those issues fixed we are currently blocked by the registry instablity. -- Steven Edwards - ReactOS and Wine developer "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo

LinuxTag 2006 in Wiesbaden (Germany)

ReactOS on LinuxTag 2006 From 3. till 6. May 2006 over 15000 guests will visit the LinuxTag in Wiesbaden (Germany). They provide free stands on the expo for open source projects. I think ReactOS could be there too. Wiesbaden is not far from where I live and if some of the developers are interrested we could talk about making a stand. Best Regards, dom

Problems running Allegro programs in ReactOS. (bug 1112)
by Jerry 26 Dec '05

26 Dec '05

I have found some problems running Allegro programs in ReactOS. When I have tested it they started up and the mouse moves the upper right hand corner of the screen and ReactOS apparently hangs. I'm curious why is this happening; although, I think it is possibly some bugs (or bug) that is causing it, or it is caused by an unimplemented feature. It is most like located in the DirectX and OpenGL components. This realtes to bug 1112.

Thanks. In Tortoise, I just download the whole history for the branch and then filter it with the date pull downs in the top left.

I may be just an idiot or blind, but I can't seem to find any information on building freeldr, and it doesn't seem to have a makefile. Everything that I can find points to it being loadable by GRUB and the like, but I'm not sure why I can't find the *how* on building it. Am I just blind, or missing something extremely obvious? (Yes, I have been searching Google for a little while now... I'm not turning anything up, yet.) Thanks, Mike -- Michael B.

Although Send() will return indicating the data has been sent, nagling should hold the actual packet back until it is full, however this should only happen if there is unconfirmed data i.e. no ACK.

Loopback problem
by Ge van Geldorp 21 Dec '05

21 Dec '05

I've been tracking down a problem with ibrowser being extremely slow for me (it took 64 sec to load http://www.reactos.org). It turns out to be a problem associated with the loopback interface. The attached test program (gcc -o loop.exe loop.c -lws2_32) is the minimum test program to demonstrate the problem. It occurs when you send a small amount of data over the loopback interface when there is no pending recv (so you send, then start a recv for the data, then another send, then another recv, no recv waiting while you send). Sequence of events: - Start first send - TCP/IP stack queues the data at the receiving end - First send returns - Start first recv - Queued data is retrieved, but it is determined that there's plenty of space in the TCP window left, so there is no ACK sent back - First recv returns - Start second send - tcp_output determines that the connection is not idle (there is some un-ACKed data) and queues the data at the sending end - Second send returns - Start second recv - Since there is no data waiting at the receiving end, recv just sits there - An internal timer with a period of 2.5 sec expires - The timer proc notices that there is an ACK pending - ACK is sent back to the sending end - Sending end determines connection is idle now and sends the queued data to the receiving end - Timer proc terminates and reschedules itself - Data has now arrived at the receiving end and can be retrieved by the waiting recv. Again no ACK is sent back - Second recv returns - Third send starts, queues its data at sending end and returns - Third recv starts, has to wait 2.5 sec for the internal timer to timeout and then returns - etc. Although I understand what's wrong, I have a bit of difficulty trying to figure out how to fix it. Attached is a proposed fix, which basically attacks the problem at the sending end by removing the check if the connection is idle or not. With that fix the loop.c program works as I expect and http://www.reactos.org loads in a much more reasonable 2-3 sec in ibrowser. The problem that I have with the fix is that it's a change in code we borrowed from the BSD stack. I can hardly imagine that a piece of software so heavily used as the BSD stack would have such a fundamental problem. Any thoughts? GvG

You need to understand the context in which the message is used. If it's system debug message, it will normally be hardcoded in. If it's a generic Win32 error message it should be picked up with FormatMessage. These will be output in the users preferred language via the LANG_SYSTEM_DEFAULT or LANG_USER_DEFAULT flags. Then you have simple MessageBox outputs which can be picked out of a resource file, but are generally hardcoded in. There are many other situations and usages, but I'll stop there.

As GreatLord said, you will need programming knowledge to do this. If you want to start making progress with this, you could start by getting a sound understanding of C and basic Windows programming, including resource file syntax. Then work from there. You will generally find though that most stuff that should be in a resource file, already is. What have you found to make you think otherwise? -----Original Message----- From: David Hinz [mailto:post.center@gmail.com] Sent: 20 December 2005 07:08 To: ReactOS Development List Subject: Re: [ros-dev] Hardcoded strings Sure, but the problem is, I don't really know which strings this are, and how I can find them. ************************************************************************ The information contained in this message or any of its attachments is confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.

Hardcoded strings
by David Hinz 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

Hey all, at the moment I try to create an overview on the current German translation of ReactOS and for this I need to know one important little thing: Which hardcoded strings should be moved to rc-files? And is there a howto on this topic? I would be very happy about some fast responses, I want to get the German translation ready before the 0.3.0 release... Greets, David Hinz And yes, I know I should post this to the ros-translate list, but it seems to be inactive...

According to the rules : We don't move from Feature Freeze to Code Freeze until, and I quote "the testing coordinator indicates that all blocker bugs in the release branch have been fixed" I interpret this as, we move to Code Freeze, when and only when all blockers have been fixed. We then dictate that "During code freeze, the only allowed commits are bugfixes to release-blocking bugs" If all blockers must be fixed before we move to Code Freeze, and we can only commit bug fixes to free up blockers during Feature Freeze, what is the actual point in having a Code Freeze as we will never have any blockers to fix.

Patch for review: exception handling
by Ge van Geldorp 18 Dec '05

18 Dec '05

The program below (when compiled with MSVC6, multithreaded DLL runtime) only prints "in first handler" on ReactOS and then gets into an endless exception loop: int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { __try { RaiseException(0x55aa, 0, 0, NULL); } __except(EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER) { printf("in first handler\n"); } __try { RaiseException(0xaacc, 0, 0, NULL); } __except(EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER) { printf("in second handler\n"); } return 0; } I believe the reason is that our RtlUnwind removes the target exception frame too, which it shouldn't do. The following patch seems to solve the issue: Index: lib/rtl/i386/exception.c =================================================================== --- lib/rtl/i386/exception.c (revision 20225) +++ lib/rtl/i386/exception.c (working copy) @@ -333,7 +333,10 @@ RegistrationFrame2 = RegistrationFrame2->Next; /* Remove this handler */ - RtlpSetExceptionList(OldFrame); + if (RegistrationFrame2 != RegistrationFrame) + { + RtlpSetExceptionList(OldFrame); + } } } but I'm no expert on exception issues.

I quote from the ReactOS Weekly Newsletter - Volume 1, Issue 8 "0.2.9? Another One?

Could we stop saying that? 0.3.0 is not the release after 0.2.9, nor 0.2.8, nor 0.2.5! 0.3.0 will happen when we hit the stated goals, and unless networking gets some serious attention, we will see 0.2.10. So, please, can we stop saying "This is the last release before 0.3.0"? It makes us look bad, and confuses people when we release yet another 0.2.x. Don't get me wrong, we are closer to 0.3.0 than ever before, but there are still many bugs. WD -- <Russell> argh <Russell> iterator shenanigans :/

dealing with insecure-by-inattention Windows software
by Wesley Parish 18 Dec '05

18 Dec '05

"insecure-by-inattention" - by that I mean software that must run as super-user or otherwise (otherstupidly) it won't run at all. ReactOS is not only intended as a plug-in replacement for MS Windows, if I read this-and-that correctly, it's also intended to "get it done right". And so we can't have super-user as default user, because that is Microsoft's thorn-in-the-flesh, and they can have it. I don't want it. What I've been thinking is there is quite a bit of useful information and knowledge being actively developed and used in the Unix/BSD/Linux field for handling that sort of problem. The BSD chroot jail is one such implementation - there are even some aspects of the MS Windows directory structure that would simplify the adaption of the chroot jail to the ReactOS. [hardware]\Program Files\Abracadabra-Malware-Magnet\ "Abracadabra-Malware-Magnet" is a separate subdirectory within the Program Files directory. Chroot jail, if I remember correctly, requires a separate directory for each chrooted program so it sees itself as the one-and-only love of its kernel's uptime. The MS Windows directory structure already has this separable directory structure. What needs to be done is to ensure that it thinks it's the only one around. There would be some sizeable problems - ensuring that the dlls would be sufficiently robust to avoid being hijacked, is just one, ensuring that it couldn't make any changes to dlls outside its directory is a bigger one, but that could be handled by making sure it installed all its (uniquely) needed dlls in its chroot jail. Which a lot of Win32 programs do anyway. What do people think? Wesley Parish "Sharpened hands are happy hands. "Brim the tinfall with mirthful bands" - A Deepness in the Sky, Vernor Vinge "I me.

Latest SVN is crashing with the following message: Assertion 'Class->refs == 0' failed at ./subsys/win32k/ntuser/class.c line 69 I created bug report here: http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1145 This bug only occurs on ANSI build of app, and is 100% reproduceable for me.

getfirefox
by Ged Murphy 16 Dec '05

16 Dec '05

Although we're in feature freeze, do you think it's worth including the getfirefox utility to the 0.2.9 branch? It's a great little app and I had firefox running for a few hours last night with no real issues. I'm thinking it would be good to get lots of feedback to ensure it's stable for the upcoming network release. As this will be one of our selling points, we need to ensure it's stability. Ged.

However as we don't have any 24x24 icons, it defaults to 32x32 (the huge ones we see now) I have this reverted in my tree. I was going to revert it in HEAD until we have 24x24 icons to allow the change to work as it should. However I haven't been able to get hold of Martin and didn't want to revert without his say so.

My attitude
by Alex Ionescu 12 Dec '05

12 Dec '05

Hi, It was Steven's idea that I should post this emai and I agreedl, so please don't take it as my personal childish attempt to get attention, unless you find that both I and Steven (our Project Coordinator) are children. Steven has recently expressed his opinion that: (modified quote so that "your" -> "my") "My arrogant attitude hurts this project more then any amount of code or patches I commit will ever help it." Therefore, since: 1) I really care about this project 2) I don't wish to spend time writing useless code (since no amount of code will help the project more then I hurt it, then the code is useless, like heating a room where the windows are open in winter). I think it's important to know if this is a public opinion or not, so I am opening a public ML vote. If it is, then I will gladly leave and stop hurting this project, since those were not my intentions when I joined. If this is the case, then I only regret for having stayed here so long and done nothing but hurt the project for almost two years now, and I'm sorry. [ ] Alex's arrogant attitude hurts this project more then his code helps it. Alex should therefore leave, so that the project can stop being hurt. [ ] Alex's arrogant attitude is annoying at times but his presence in this project significantly helps it grow and move towards reaching its goals, and does not hurt the project. Best regards, Alex Ionescu

State of the 0.2.9 branch
by Ge van Geldorp 12 Dec '05

12 Dec '05

At the moment, there's one blocker bug registered, 1107: Opening a Command Prompt (console) window causes the desktop to hang. A lot of networking apps crash, all due to the same bug. Arty is working on that one. On each boot, I have to get rid of 5 device install screens. I'm not complaining, I understand PnP is a work in progress, but if nobody objects I'll change the code in the branch to never pop up the device install screens. Last item is perhaps a bit controversial. I don't like the huge icons in the start menu. It also makes the start menu not fit in 640x480. Can we please go back to smaller icons? Other than these items (only 1 of them serious as far as I'm concerned) I like the branch and I believe it will become a good release. GvG

screensavers
by Kenneth Armstrong 11 Dec '05

11 Dec '05

I know that this is fluff, but I would like to contribute a good, honest attempt at making a screensaver program for ReactOS. Basically, what I am looking for is how is the API set up for ReactOS to write programs for it? I am familiar with writing programs for Windows, and I know the basic ins and outs of making a screensaver for Windows (including it's registry settings), however there is some API specific code that I need in order to give this a shot. Do you guys have a reference of some kind as to what API functions, constants, etc. that you have implemented in ReactOS that mirror those of Windows? Thanks in advance, and if there isn't enough in ReactOS yet for me to try this out yet, then I'll try to help on something else that I would be capable of. And I must say, and I'm not trying to kiss ass here, but I really appreciate what you guys are working at here. Keep it up. Kenneth Armstrong

Usage of RtlAllocateHeap
by M Bealby 11 Dec '05

11 Dec '05

Hi, First of all I would like to introduce myself. My name is Martin and I am currently attempting to go through and audit the ReactOS source code for security vulnerabilities. I've been keeping an eye on the project for about a year now and I think as development is now rapidly increasing, security must take more and more of a priority. I started with the kernel32 library on Friday (9th) and have found a number of possible security vulnerabilies. These have been filed with bugzilla and i'm very impressed with the rate that these were fixed. So well done on that count! However, after submitting bugs #1102 and #1103 (now fixed by BrandonTurner) it became apparent that incorrect usage of the RtlAllocateHeap function (and its alias HeapAlloc) is quite common. It may return NULL if memory cannot be allocated and in some parts of the code this is not checked. This would lead to a segmentation fault on reading / writing. Through some judicious use of grep I went through the source code and extracted calls to this function with their context. After going through each one and investigating it I have now found another twenty occurances of the same bug (This is just in the kernel32 library). I am writing this to let all developers know that they must check their return values. Errors can exist, resources may be starved and the call may fail. Make sure your code can cope with this. Finally, as I am fairly new to bugzilla, should I submit each of these twenty bugs individually or should I submit them all as one bug? Cheers, Martin

RE: [gvg] 20024: Work around lack of MSG_PEEK
by Ge van Geldorp 10 Dec '05

10 Dec '05

With r20024 I can get ibrowser to actually download the Mozilla webbrowser control. It usually takes a few tries, often the download hangs halfway through. I have the feeling that it helps if you move the mouse constantly during download, but that could just be my imagination. To install the control, you will need a copy of MSVCP60.DLL, which the author forgot to include in the install image (Wine has the same problem). So first copy MSVCP60.DLL from your Windows installation to \ReactOS\System32, then start ibrowser, download the control and install it. After that ibrowser (and the "Web" button in ROSExplorer) becomes functional. GvG

Industry support
by David Hinz 10 Dec '05

10 Dec '05

When I first throw in the idea, that we could try to get some big companys supporting us, I was amazed by the huge response. A lot of people seem to be very interested in this, but after some days, I noticed that there are nearly no devs who replied to my mail, or the numerous replies on it. So what I'm asking for is how the devs and especially our PC Steven Edwards think about asking some companys like IBM, Intel, AMD, nVIDIA, ATI, Dell,... to support our project. There are a lot of ways, they could support us, either by money, or by developers, or by knowledge/documentations. Every of the mentioned companys would be able to support us, but I think the only person who has the right to ask any of them is our PC, or maybe somebody he authorized to do so. I'm waiting for your replies. Greets, David Hinz BTW, the mail I mentioned above is http://www.reactos.org/archives/public/ros-dev/2005-December/006645.html

process token problem
by Hartmut Birr 09 Dec '05

09 Dec '05

Hi, after compiling ros on ros, I see over 45000 memory blocks with the tags TOKd, TOKp, TOKu and TOKp. It seems, something is wrong with the referencing/dereferencing of tokens. I've add some debug code in SeDeassignPrimaryToken (only called by PspDeleteProcess), which prints the ref count of the token object. It is always greater than 1. The process token is never deleted. - Hartmut

Feature Request
by Rick Langschultz 09 Dec '05

09 Dec '05

XML is actively becoming part of technology and programming. Every major development company has embraced some form of XML in one product or another. I was wondering if ReactOS would be interested in developing some form of application to handle XML-based applications. These applications would be written in XML and bundled in a ZIP file much like the ODF formats that OpenOffice 2.0 is using. XML applications would be allowed to communicate with some processing application protocols and functions. I think something like this would be a great feature that would quickly allow novice programmers to quickly develop applications for ReactOS and share them on the website. Think of it, no compilation time. That would be great. I will try to write a proof-of-concept application for Windows XP and 2000 for trial and testing. My main question is: If something like this is wanted/needed/or if ReactOS members finds interesting would ReactOS think about supporting it in the first production release. Which is still far off, I would imagine.

Unhandled Exception in kernel32 ReadFile file\rw.c line 233
by Steven Edwards 08 Dec '05

Hi, I have a 100% reproducible problem at the end of the Office2000 install on the trunk + local patches. I am hitting a usermode exception in ReadFile on line 233. The offending code is here if (NT_SUCCESS(Status)) { /* lpNumberOfBytesRead must not be NULL here, in fact Win doesn't check that case either and crashes (only after the operation completed) */ *lpNumberOfBytesRead = Iosb.Information; } Art suggested using ProbeForWrite to handle the problem. Can someone point me to a example of how to handle this except or even better would someone be willing to look at implementing the check for me? =) Thanks -- Steven Edwards - ReactOS and Wine developer "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo

Feiture Request
by David Johnson 08 Dec '05

08 Dec '05

The SkyOS service plugin suite has been extended with a new service: Spell checking service. This system and application wide usable SkyOS service brings spell checking to each application. With a small and clean interface every application can make use of this system wide integrated spell checking available for various languages. Furthermore, spell checking can be enabled for most SkyGI widgets like text input fields. The spell checking engine itself is exchangeable and can be selected by the user. Currently a proprietary engine and an aspell <http://aspell.sourceforge.net/> engine is available. As for all SkyOS services, the spell checking service which runs as a standalone application can be enabled, disabled or configured via the System Manager Services Plugin. Can ReactOS have this? -- David Johnson http://www.davefilms.us Producer

Language selection in textmode part of setup
by David Hinz 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

When I just looked for something to translate, I updated the translation of syssetup (trunk\reactos\lib\syssetup). While I read through the file, I recognized, that I newer saw this before. When I checked the setup, I found out, that until all steps of the setup are done, everything is in english. Can't we extend the first part of the setup, so that you select your language at the beginning of setup (the way nearly every Linux-distributor is doing it...) so that people who don't understand english very good are able to install ReactOS? Wouldn't this be nice for 0.3.0? Greets, David Hinz

Installer
by Jonathan Andrews 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

Hello to the group.... my first post.... I noticed some talk about the Reactos installer following the windows form. As a long time NT admin who moved into product development on Linux I would just like to point out how mediocre the windows installer is. With a bootable linux ISO you get a full network stack, functional USB support, detected UDMA IDE drivers, Vesfa FB X11 etc etc etc... with the windows installer you get a kernel, a few utils and a pretty inflexable installer. Would it not make more sense to write an installer thats based on a bootable Linux image - if nothing else the use of networking offers a host of possibilities (diskless installs, updates from the internet during the install phase and so on). Is the aim to clone windows, or to produce an operating system that is API compatible with win32 ? They are very different aims with very different requirements! Jon

Symbolic Links
by David Hinz 04 Dec '05

04 Dec '05

I was just wondering, if we could implement symbolic links in ReactOS. As I don't want to add this feature to every filesystem that doesn't support symbolic links, I thought about another way. I had two ideas: 1. Use a file for this, comparable to files like HOSTS etc 2. Use the registry The more I thought about this, I liked my second idea more than my first and noticed what a great thing the registry is. We could simply add keys like HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\symlinks\C:\My Files and set the target directory as it's value. It's very easy to search for such keys, so it shouldn't be that hard to implement it into the IFS-driver. More complicated would be the implementation into explorer and the creation of a commandline utility. A second feature could be to create such links for every user, so that every user could use C:\My Files\... which would be linked to C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Files\... and he wouldn't even notice. I think that would be a nice feature and I would really like to implement this, but I'm afraid I can't do this alone, as I don't have much experience and I'm just beginning to learn C++ and asm, so it would be nice, if someone of you who likes this idea could help me with this.

The msvc backend is not yet complete, this we don't fully support msvc at this stage. If you want to build, you will need to use mingw / gcc. However you can build some sub projects within the ReacOS solution. Run 'make msvc8' (you will need to have built rbuild) to populate the tree with the relevant vcproj files and try a few things like arp.

Office 2000 install
by Steven Edwards 03 Dec '05

03 Dec '05

Hi, I have been able to get Office 2000 to mostly install with this msi.dll http://steven-edwards.kicks-ass.org/~sedwards/msi.dll It is a port of the msi from CrossOver 5.0 release with a few tweaks. The issue I am having now is that Office applications fail to load due to usermode exceptions on oso9.dll or whatever the core Office dll is. If anyone is interested could they take a look at this? You need install using msiexec /i package.msi where package.msi is the main Office2000 msi on the CD. There is still some issue where the setup.exe program thinks it needs to upgrade our msi.

Kernel32 race condition
by Ge van Geldorp 01 Dec '05

01 Dec '05

While working on proper logoff/shutdown processing, I'm running into an interesting race condition inside kernel32. The shutdown command (apps/utils/shutdown) calls ExitWindowsEx() and then terminates, which causes kernel32's DllMain() function to be called with the DLL_PROCESS_DETACH reason. This will clean up kernel32 resources, like calling RtlDeleteCriticalSection(&ConsoleLock). Now, before the process is completely shutdown, CSRSS will send it a CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT. To deliver this event, CSRSS calls CreateRemoteThread(). So CreateRemoteThread() is called while the main thread is executing DLL_PROCESS_DETACH cleanup. During handling of CTRL_LOGOFF_EVENT, the new thread will try to enter the ConsoleLock critical section, which was already deleted by the main thread. Chaos results. To solve this, first I was looking for a way to disable new thread creation when a process enters ExitProcess(), but that won't solve the problem. We can still have a thread A which calls ExitProcess(), have a context switch to existing thread B of the same process which does something that needs the ConsoleLock. Then I considered SuspendThread()ing all other threads of the process when ExitProcess() is called, but that could potentially lead to deadlocks if the suspended threads hold synchronization objects. So now I'm inclined to believe that the solution is to just not do the resource cleanup during DLL_PROCESS_DETACH handling. But that doesn't feel very clean either. Anyone have a better idea? GvG

I was looking at reactos control panels and was wondering if there was any MS HTA or something like it embedded. I was thinking that XUL, Firefox, and Mozilla could be integrated into the Explorer and other things to dynamically update the interface of Reactos. Something like Apple's Safari RSS Reader, and Explorer's (XP) Sidebars with common tasks and utilities.

Hey Hey, Just wanted to give a heads up to the community about the following error on my iBook g4. There was USB enabled when i installed then I removed it. I was wondering if there is being a rewrite of this or something. Plus I can't submit a bugzilla report because of site restrictions. A problem has been detected and ReactOS has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer. The problem seems to be caused by the following file: win32k.sys KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED Technical information: *** STOP: 0x0000001E (0xc0000005,0x9d929c33,0x00000000,0x00000004) *** win32k.sys - Address 0x9d929c33 base at 0x9d872000, DateStamp 0x0 Page Fault Exception: 14(0) Processor: 0 CS:EIP 8:9d929c33 <win32k.sys:b7c33 (./subsys/win32k/ objects/dc.c:5 76 (IntPrepareDriver))> cr2 4 cr3 e5ce000 Proc: 80dc9670 Pid: ec <umpnpmgr.exe> Thrd: 80e160a0 Tid: f8 DS 23 ES 23 FS 30 GS 0 EAX: 00000000 EBX: 9d92ad56 ECX: 00000000 EDX: 00000000 EBP: 9e29eb5c ESI: 00cef564 ESP: 9e29ea70 EDI: 9e29ed64 EFLAGS: 00000202 kESP 9e29ea70 kernel stack base 9e29c000 Frames: <win32k.sys:b7e71 (./subsys/win32k/objects/dc.c:661 (IntPrepareDriverIfNeeded))> <win32k.sys:b85ba (./subsys/win32k/objects/dc.c:838 (IntGdiCreateDC))> <win32k.sys:b900b (./subsys/win32k/objects/dc.c:1051 (NtGdiCreateIC))> <ntoskrnl.exe:9a4ea (ntoskrnl\ke\i386\syscall.S:372 (KiSystemService))> <gdi32.dll:8761 (lib/gdi32/objects/dc.c:128 (CreateICW))>

Compilation errors
by David Hinz 30 Nov '05

I get the following error, when I try to compile revision 19777: [CC] lib\devmgr\advprop.c lib\devmgr\advprop.c: In function `DisplayDeviceAdvancedProperties': lib\devmgr\advprop.c:247: error: `DIGCDP_FLAG_REMOTE_ADVANCED' undeclared (first use in this function) lib\devmgr\advprop.c:247: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once lib\devmgr\advprop.c:247: error: for each function it appears in.) mingw32-make: *** [obj-i386\lib\devmgr\advprop.o] Error 1 If I remember right, the last working revision was 19776, but I don't know exactly. Anyway, the files changed since my last successfull compilation are: U lib\devmgr\devmgr.xml U lib\devmgr\En.rc U lib\devmgr\precomp.h U lib\devmgr\advprop.c U lib\devmgr\hwpage.c U lib\devmgr\misc.c U lib\devmgr\resource.h Hope you get that fixed soon.

Hello Alex No, it wasnt commited yet. The best way to submit patches is through bugzilla under the patch group. http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/ Brandon Alex Buell wrote: > obj-i386/lib/rtl/rtl.a(math_asm.o)(.text+0x50e):lib/rtl/i386/math_asm.S:1439: > undefined reference to `not' > obj-i386/lib/rtl/rtl.a(math_asm.o)(.text+0x529):lib/rtl/i386/math_asm.S:1451: > undefined reference to `not' > obj-i386/lib/rtl/rtl.a(math_asm.o)(.text+0x54f):lib/rtl/i386/math_asm.S:1467: > undefined reference to `not' > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status > make[1]: *** [output-i386/lib/ntdll/ntdll.dll] Error 1 > > Why hasn't my patch gone in yet?

Emulation...
by Rick Langschultz 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

I have recently been reviewing the DosEmu thread on the list. Here is my concern, why not try doing something like XEN for reactos. CMD.exe could interact with all of the XENed hardware and software. One major feature this would be great for is if someone needed to utilize a EXT3 disk image or hard drive from ReactOS in the future all they would have to do is pop open the cmd prompt and cd to a virtual hard drisk something like C:\Volumes\HDA1\ would be equal to / on the linux volume. A system service would also need to be implemented for starting the other os on command, but that is only a suggestion... Rick
