We'll be doing an upgrade of Fisheye and hopefully Jira, so expect downtime until the all clear is given.

This helps find logic errors, mostly where the programmer thought the variable was signed but it's actually unsigned, e.g. if (ret < 0) for a function that returns (ULONG)-1. I also don't see how the fix would be complicated in most cases. (x <= 0) becomes (x == 0), (x < 0) becomes (x == (ULONG)-1) or whatever (after a logic review). I know that it'll be problematic if resulting from a macro... but I think it's worth finding a workaround for those cases. Most of the warnings I remember from our code base though (especially ntoskrnl) didn't involve macros and were actually cases of questionable logic... although maybe I recall incorrectly.

Status Meeting (May 2014)
by Aleksey Bragin 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Hello, Let me invite you to the monthly status meeting taking place first Thursday of this month, 5th of June, 19:00 UTC. And this date is very close to now! The meeting was rescheduled from the usual date because of my trips and my illness. Sorry about that. IRC service will only be started shortly before the meeting. Your participation passwords and server address will be emailed to you shortly before the meeting starts, and they are going to be different once again as they are not stored in any database. Hopefully it's not much of inconvenience. If someone still is not getting passwords sent before a meeting - please email Pierre before the meeting started to get one. Please send agenda proposals to me before the meeting, so that we can start with a proposed agenda. However the most demanded topic is ReactOS fundraising campaign and its outcome :-) Also all developers, please, may I so kindly ask you to prepare a very brief one-two lines message containing two things: 1. What you did since the previous meeting 2. What you are going to do in the coming month This is needed to understand who is working on what, to plan things, etc. Thanks, I hope it's not that much to ask for. Regards, Aleksey Bragin

Instanciate TAP device for Virtualisation
by Maxime Daniel 05 Jun '14

05 Jun '14

Hi, I'm working on network virtualization support in ReactOS. At this time, PoC works but I reach a point where I need a solution that would allow to add and remove TAP (TAP-Win32 from OpenVPN for exemple) Network Devices from kernel space, without user intervention. The problem right now is that there seems to be impossible in ReactOS to have a proper way or tips and tricks to add/remove TAP devices without rebooting the system. What should be fixed/edit to instanciate of TAP device on the fly on the current implementation (r63193) ? Thanks -- Daniel Maxime Linux version 3.6.9-maxux64 (emy) (gcc version 4.7.3 (Gentoo 4.7.3-r1 p1.4, pie-0.5.5) ) #3 SMP PREEMPT Wed Feb 19 16:40:22 CET 2014 17:15:01 up 1 day, 1:44, 1 user, load average: 0.29, 0.28, 0.35
