r28205 : Empty ntoskrnl/ke/i386/init.S in trunk
by Sylvain Petreolle 07 Aug '07

07 Aug '07

After r28205, ntoskrnl/ke/i386/init.S has no more contents and is removed from build. Remove it from trunk too.

Re: [ros-dev] CRT source code issue

Yes, the whole issue is at pushing operands to stack, performing well- documented assembly instructions to perform the asked action (div, mul, shl, shr, etc), and handling some special, though obvious, cases (like if you do a shl of some longlong number by more than 64 bits, you always end up with 0, there is no need to call math instructions in order to compute this). I will let you know results when I speak with SDL. WBR, Aleksey Bragin.

Just so people don't build up rumours, this code is located in SSCLI 2.0, in the file clr/src/vm/i386/jithelp.asm . Function names are different, however assembly code is similar. License issues are not fully cleared up, so opinions from people having knowledge in this area are welcome. WBR, Aleksey Bragin.

CRT source code issue
by Aleksey Bragin 04 Aug '07

04 Aug '07

Hi, Recently Betov made some accusations regarding possible usage of MS's copyrighted code in ReactOS's CRT library (example lib/sdk/libcntpr/ math/i386/sqrt_asm.s, alldiv_asm.s, and other files). Here is my official statement in regarding to this false accusation: This source code originally was imported into ReactOS from SanOS project, where it was said as having GPL license (all original copyrights are kept). After a lot of complains from Betov (aimed at getting attention to his own project, not at improving ReactOS), developers thought it worths looking into the issue deeper. I performed some investigation, and found that SDL project (www.libsdl.org) has the same code in trunk and in v1.2 branch (http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/viewvc.cgi/trunk/SDL/src/stdlib/ SDL_stdlib.c?view=markup). Everyone can compare asm source code with respective functions found in MSVC's CRT source code. It matches up to label names, however numbers have been converted from dec to hex representation. The code in SDL project is marked as "GPL" and author is stated as "Sam Lantinga". It may look like a serious problem, but in reality, the source code of these functions is released by Microsoft in SSCLI 2.0, with a license which allows GPLing of the source code, with one restriction: "You may not use or distribute this Software and any derivative works in any form for commercial purposes.". SSCLI 2.0 can be freely downloaded by everyone, license is also certainly available to read. I'm going to communicate with SDL about this issue, but since ReactOS is not used commercially, it's not a problem for ReactOS now. We are ready to collaborate with SDL on removing this issue, if it's considered a real problem. With the best regards, Aleksey Bragin.

I was finally able to compile and build the boot cd, but setup hangs when doing "Importing hivesys.inf..." But this is another trouble, different from previous one. And I did a complete clean before compiling.

On Tue, 31 Jul 2007 05:47:22 +0100 (BST), "CK Raju" <ckraju68(a)yahoo.co.in> said: > But is the process of recognising other partitions > stable ? Can ReactOS be installed in extended > partitions ? Does it recognise extended partitions now > ? These are the questions that will be eliminated with > adoption of a cross-installer. It did break the partition table I had the 2 times I have tried on real hardware. The two times, I had Ubuntu installed in logical partitions. Each times, it see my 10Gb as 4Gb, and give a warning it does not understand correctly my partition table. First time, it did seems to see some unused space (there was probably none in reality) and I let it installed there, stopping just before installing the boot loader (I wanted to use grub to start it). But when I tried to reboot, computer was unable to boot, not even go to the BIOS. Reinitializing CMOS or reflashing BIOS did not help. Finally discover that unplugging the HD fixed the BIOS. Probably a BIOS bug, expecting a correct MBR and partition table. Next time (about 1 week ago), I had made a primary partition for it, and still have Linux on logical one. But it seems to have break the partition table once again (not sure how I convinced myself of that however, I think because I was not able to search for /boot/grub/menu.lst from grub on hd0). I was given on a link in IRC about an unfinished patch on hyperheterodyne, or superheterodyne... that was about the partition manager. Was 1 or 2 years old however. I read it a bit, patch and code for usetup?, but not good enough yet to really understand. So I consider the installer very dangerous right now. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Send your email first class
