Hi, Royce suggested that we need to get rid of TAG_NONE and I remeber EA posting a list of tags a while back so maybe its a good time to look at the issue again.
We have quite a few cases where ExAllocatePool() and ExAllocatePoolWithQuota() is calling ExAllocatePagedPoolWithTag ( TAG_NONE ). I propose that we change the headers for these two functions to throw a compile error if we try to use them internally. We would still keep it implemented to support third party drivers but this way it will force developers to not use them.
Thanks Steven
I agree, I was proposing something like this before too, so I'm glad someone else is having the same idea. Instead of an error, maybe it would be less annoying to have the Ex* functions throw out a DPRINT1... Although that would be harder to trace.
