Starcraft Setup BSODs due to KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
by Reuben Perelman 21 Sep '05

21 Sep '05

Launching setup.exe on the starcraft CD immediatly causes a BSOD. Part of what it says on the BSOD is says: "The Problem Seems to be caused by the following file: win32k.sys KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED" Attached is a screenshot of the BSOD. I would have put this on bugzilla if bugzilla hadn't given me the error: " The 'bug number' // is invalid. If you are trying to use QuickSearch, you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. To help us fix this limitation, add your comments to bug 70907 <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70907>."

OT: HTA Embedding
by Rick Langschultz 21 Sep '05

21 Sep '05

Hello, I know this is a bit off topic but I was wondering if anyone knew how to embed an HTA inside a c++ application. I know that the Add / Remove Programs control panel applet uses HTAs to display registry settings. I want to do sort of the same thing with my app. Rick Langschultz rlangschultz(a)cox.net (Home) rlangschultz(a)ellemaespa.com (Work) rlangschultz(a)email.uophx.edu (School)

moving discussion of freedce/win32 to freedce-devel
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton 20 Sep '05

20 Sep '05

dear reactos developers, after receiving some much appreciated advice i have made a decision: i will not be posting to the ros-dev lists (unless invited to do so). if you wish to discuss the porting of freedce to win32, or to find out about its progress, the freedce-devel mailing list is where i believe that to be most appropriate. l. p.s. banning people on freedce-devel is not even considered let alone discussed. that's mainly because not much is discussed there at all in fact, it's a pretty low-traffic list :) -- -- <a href="http://lkcl.net">http://lkcl.net</a> --

Re: [ros-dev] found it! the "dce porting" header file
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton 20 Sep '05

20 Sep '05

dear hackbunny, regarding your comments about screaming in pain and having teeth pulled because of pthreads-win32, i am so so sorry: i cannot help you there. i don't have the time nor the expertise. i posted (some time afterwards) a message indicating just how many occurrences of DCE exception macros there are - it's literally hundreds. at least pthreads-win32 "gets something going". i believe strongly in "GetItWorking(tm)" and "RewriteLaterAfterProvingItWorks(tm)". i _don't_ believe in throwing everything away just because one way to get things up and running quickly happens not to be the nicest solution. it's a matter of priorities. plus, like i said in my previous reply, DCE exceptions deal with networking and memory errors in a runtime environment where application designers _know_ that there's going to be order-of-milliseconds delays. the usual speed-critical criteria which make people run away screaming about exceptions simply do not apply. l. -- -- <a href="http://lkcl.net">http://lkcl.net</a> --

Re: [ros-dev] found it! the "dce porting" header file
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton 20 Sep '05

dear hyperion, sorry for not getting back to this one earlier. regarding hacking up a replacement for the DCE compatible threads library: GREAT. i have made a start by removing the POSIX Draft 4 threading requirements, which has been on the cards for like ... ermmm... five years. see http://sf.net/projects/freedce, cvs requirements, see dcethreads-win32 give me a while to commit what i've done so far. there's actually very little code left, because of pthreads-win32. the only stuff left in dcethreads-win32 is actually the DCE exception handling stuff. which i understand is right in your area of expertise :) btw: one important point. it is NOT, i repeat NOT important that "speed be of the essence". the usual argument "exceptions are expensive and therefore evil" simply doesn't apply. exceptions in DCE are used to catch memory and _networking_ errors. _networking_ errors. order of milliseconds and greater. DCE/RPC applications (the Windows NT 4.0 Domains and Administrative suite are good - and relevant - examples) are _designed_ with networking errors and networking delays taken into consideration and into account. the only instance where someone didn't bother to take networking into account is the idiots who ported win16 (yes, win16, remember we're talking Windows NT 3.1 here - where do you think win32 came from? not from the idiots in the win95 team :) printing API to spoolss (taking the "blobs" as [in,out] parameters - imagine what _that_ does when you have the double-function-call thing, the first one to ask how big a "blob" to allocate). but i digress... -- -- <a href="http://lkcl.net">http://lkcl.net</a> --

[dear ros-dev developers, i'm "on-list" but have "receive postings disabled" because i have far too much on my plate to deal with right now. i'm sorry i haven't got back to people] saveliy, hi, you asked if freedce is useable: the answer is yes [with conditions]. freedce is the _reference_ implementation from http://opengroup.org/dce. and it is autoconf'd. therefore, asking "is it fully featured" the answer is it _is_ the features :) :) now. microsoft "embraced and extended" DCE/RPC actually the 1.1 reference implementation because it's OSF 1.1 Free Software BSD-Compatible license... what am i doing, what am i doing, see this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSRPC :) i've added certain "missing" features to freedce and it's now on-wire compatible and IDL-compatible with MSRPC. what it _doesn't_ yet do is output MSRPC-binary-compatible stuff which people are referring to on wine lists as "type libraries". hope this helps. l. -- -- <a href="http://lkcl.net">http://lkcl.net</a> --

Re: [ros-svn] [gdalsnes] 17923: -added better LIST_FOR_EACH macros (ripped from wine) and fix their usage

Hi, --- gdalsnes(a)svn.reactos.com wrote: > -added better LIST_FOR_EACH macros (ripped from wine) and fix their usage > -make hotkeys session global (they dont belong in winsta) > Updated files: > trunk/reactos/include/reactos/helper.h These are in include/wine/list.h right? Are you duplicating the macros or are you using them from there? Sorry I don't have time to review the diff. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Yahoo!
