Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [hyperion] 36761: added lib/rtl/rtl-common.rbuild modified lib/rtl/rtl.rbuild Compile rtl twice, as rtl_umode and rtl_kmode. Allows conditional compilation of RTL (finally!), instead of necessitating hacks like RtlpGetMode() "rtl" mod

revolutionary, innovative and stupid. You get "PAGE" sections in ntdll
for no good reason, really stupid function calls instead of conditional
compilation, and gross hacks like locks being declared large enough to
fit both a FAST_MUTEX and a RTL_CRITICAL_SECTION. A less "revolutionary"
and "innovative" solution that I'd endorse would be to split RTL into
several libraries, one of which containing all code that's independent
from the mode. And you'd _still_ have to compile a separate version for
host tools
