Excuse me. What way...?
by ea＠iol.it 20 Feb '05

20 Feb '05

Hi all! I post this message, because I would like to read you comments and opinions about the way to take to implement multiuser support in the Win32 subsystem of ReactOS. Multiuser support for Win32 is, in fact, named "terminal services". There are, as you know, two possible ways. Microsoft was at the same crossroad, when they had to make Win32 in NT 4.0 multiuser. a) make multiuser compliant csrss.exe+win32k.sys b) load separate instances of csrss.exe+win32k.sys B is obviously less expensive, because you do not touch the code in csrss.exe and in win32k.sys and therefore you need no more debugging than regular single user Win32. It is a hack, but it sells very well. But Microsoft is committed to market. ReactOS isn't. Obviously, as I like challenges (otherwise why would you devote your time to a project like ReactOS?), and clean design in software, I vote for implementing (a). Please comment about: - easy/hard; - compatible/incompatible; - impact on current design; - huh? ____________________________________________________________ Navighi a 2 MEGA e i primi 3 mesi sono GRATIS.

RE: [weiden] 13639: 2. fixed GetVersionEx()
by Ge van Geldorp 20 Feb '05

20 Feb '05

> From: weiden(a)svn.reactos.com > > 2. fixed GetVersionEx() > > Updated files: > trunk/reactos/lib/kernel32/misc/env.c The part starting :/* append a reactos specific string to the szCSDVersion string */" is wrong. You've just appended the ReactOS version string to the existing szCSDVersion, but it should be added after the terminating null of the existing szCSDVersion, i.e. "Service Pack 6\0ReactOS 0.3-SVN (Build 20050219-r13360)\0". This way, ReactOS unaware apps will just get the standard CSDVersion (Service Pack 6), while ReactOS aware apps can get the ReactOS version. Discussed on the mailing list http://reactos.com:8080/archives/public/ros-dev/2004-December/001117.html and followups. Gé van Geldorp.

PeakMessage Crash
by Steven Edwards 20 Feb '05

20 Feb '05

Hi All, I have a 100% reproducable crash in Win32k due to a bad value being passed to PeakMessage. Run taskmgr and attempt to double click on the top left corner to close the application.

Re: SM: subsystem registration (partial)
by Sylvain Petreolle 20 Feb '05

20 Feb '05

Hi ea, It seems this smss commit is actually missing some code. In client.c, you changed SmCreateClient. Now this file doesnt compile since you are using "SM_CONNECT_DATA_SIZE", which isnt defined anywhere in the tree. Just for a recall: you forgot to include <sm/helper.h> in smss.h (see 13663) ===== Usurp (aka Sylvain Petreolle) humans are like computers, yesterday the BIOS was all - today its just a word

[ros-svn] 13656: Don't use svn command line tool to getrevision number
by Ge van Geldorp 19 Feb '05

19 Feb '05

> From: gvg(a)svn.reactos.com > > Don't use svn command line tool to get revision number > XML code stolen from the xmlbuildsystem branch, we need > to merge this when merging the xmlbuildsystem back into trunk If you get weird error messages when svn up'ing in reactos/tools on Linux, remove reactos/tools/buildno. "reactos/tools/buildno" used to be an executable, now it's a directory. Doing a "make clean" first and then a "svn up" works ok. Windows shouldn't be a problem, there is no name conflict there as the old executable was named buildno.exe. Gé van Geldorp.

Recent SVN annoyances...
by Alex Ionescu 19 Feb '05

19 Feb '05

Hi, Some things that need to be fixed ASAP: 1) Gunnar's additions to ntdll's critical.c break cmd.exe. This is not his fault per-se, since his checks are legitimate. It seems cmd.exe is not intiailizing the CS before using it. Although I understand that his changes are needed, I would prefer devs to actually test their changes and fix the broken apps, and not just break them, since this is a regression in a way (much like Thomas's pseh fixes). 2) Thomas' recent patches flood debug output with an error about NtGdiCombineRgn. Once again, please either fix the broken apps which do this, or show the message only once. It makes debugging impossible. Best regards, Alex Ionescu

[cc02.diff] Don't try to map data past the end of file in VFAT. [cc03.diff] Fix incorrect check in CcMapData. Also I've patch which fixes fast mutex implementation and it's usage, which depends on these cache manager changes. Regards, Filip

RE: [ros-svn] [gvg] 13638: Include svn revision in build string
by Ge van Geldorp 18 Feb '05

18 Feb '05

> From: gvg(a)svn.reactos.com > > Include svn revision in build string It seems that there are quite some woosies out there who don't have the "svn" command line tool installed. I'll change buildno to not depend on svn, but this might take a little while. Gé van Geldorp.

Problem synchronizing winmm.dll
by Ge van Geldorp 18 Feb '05

18 Feb '05

I'm running into a problem importing the latest Wine winmm sources. The resource file winmm_res.rc now contains Unicode strings (in the CORE and VIDEODISC resources). Windres from binutils 2.15.94 doesn't like those. I'm not sure how to solve this. Any ideas? Gé van Geldorp.
