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

Boch 2.2.1 keyboard buffer overflow with React OS 0.2.8

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.

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

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
