by Victor Perevertkin

Hello everyone! We've got accepted to FOSDEM 2021, which (as you may already know) will be going online. FOSDEM provides a place on their stands website, we need to prepare a page for that. There is also a place for videos in case we want to share some :) Their website uses Hugo and is available on Github (https://github.com/FOSDEM/stands-website) The documentation is provided here: https://github.com/FOSDEM/stands-website/blob/master/README.md Let's discuss what should we present there, there is not that much time left! The conference is held on 6-7 February Cheers, Victor

Re: [ros-dev] Status Meeting (November 2020)

by Hermès BÉLUSCA-MAÏTO

What about that discussion about why we have ditched out MSVC 2010 support (starting to depend on that fact, and thus, breaking any possibility of self-hosting ROS building on ROS using MSVC compiler (without the IDE), since later versions of MSVC only work on Vista+, and as an indirect consequence, too, opening the can of worms, that is, being able to "pollute", involuntarily or not, the ReactOS core code (kernel + drivers) with C99+ non-standard portable code -- ), and without having first warned heavily through all the mailing lists etc. , thus allowing the developers to voice their concerns publicly in the MLs ? This was done around in mattermost only, after we decided for some reason that we wouldn't need the VC2010 buildbots anymore. Hermes. -----Original Message----- From: Ros-dev <ros-dev-bounces(a)reactos.org> On Behalf Of Colin Finck Sent: Sun Nov 15 17:24:22 UTC 2020 To: ReactOS Development List <ros-dev(a)reactos.org> Subject: [ros-dev] Status Meeting (November 2020) Hi all, With several people asking for a status meeting, let's have another one before the year is over. Let me invite you to the meeting on Thursday, 26th November 2020 19:00 UTC Mattermost private channel "Meeting" So far, there is only one point on the agenda: * Achievements and Future Outlook (everyone) What have you been working on and what are your plans? Please submit further agenda proposals by answering to this mail. Looking forward to see you! Colin

Status Meeting (November 2020)

by Joachim Henze

I wanted to add, that vgal and Doug Lyons were also favoring continued VS2010 support, as we can see clearly in the PRs discussion https://github.com/reactos/reactos/pull/2658 Please do count also those contributors voices. Some more regarding some brought up arguments: >>"BTRFS and its sync will benefit from the drop": I see a working BTRFS in 0.4.14RC60, which has VS2010 support. And I see a totally broken BTRFS that does not even boot at all any longer in master head 0.4.15-dev-1605-gab45955. A fact. >>"We should replace all proven compilers with superior Clang" I have not seen a ros yet, that would even boot at all with Clang. Also according to discussions they do still lack SEH 32bit support. And even if they would develop that one day, how big will the resulting ros isos be then? And that still would not solve the compat to older build platforms 2k3sp2/XPSP3 and ros. Wishful thinking just. >>"We need the drop for the new standard library." And where is that library? No one did ever integrate that into ros, although the compilers drop has been rushed into master months ago already. As Hermes said already: I see no gain, but I do see a lot of pain and unfinished WIP+wishful thinking.

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [reactos] 01/01: Implement IRP_MN_QUERY_DEVICE_TEXT.DeviceTextLocationInformation

by jerome.gardou＠reactos.org

Eric, Can we please refrain from using sprintf, strlen and the like in kernel-mode drivers ? Expecially on buffers which are obviously too small for their purpose ? Please use functions from ntstrsafe.h and work directly on W-buffers, thanks.

Status Meeting (November 2020)

by Do Ho

Hello, as Colin already mentioned, I have tried to compile libc++ for ReactOS. I stopped the project for two reasons: 1. The current state of the CRT in ReactOS. 2. The ongoing discussion about MSVC 2010. With MSVC 2010 it is of course impossible to compile a current version of libc++. So why should I waste my time? Without a clear commitment to using current C++ compilers, it simply makes no sense. As Colin described in detail, current technologies would increase the pace of development and attract more interested developers. Developers like me, who simply do something else without the project ever knowing about them. But don't get me wrong, this is not about me or libc++. Maybe libc++ cannot be used for other reasons after all! But with MSVC 2010 you don't even have to start. All the best, Dominik
