Re: [ros-dev] About ReactOS hive files and end_pages in header being possibly wrong

[Richard W.M. Jones]

The fix isn't very trivial.  It would have to start by fixing
the documentation for that field:

Index: hivedata.h
===================================================================
--- hivedata.h  (revision 52019)
+++ hivedata.h  (working copy)
@@ -143,7 +143,9 @@
       If the hive is volatile, this is the actual pointer to the CM_KEY_NODE */
    HCELL_INDEX RootCell;
 
-   /* Size of each hive block ? */
+   /* Length of meaningful data in the file, excluding base block.
+      The file itself can be longer than this, but Windows will ignore
+      anything after. */
    ULONG Length;
 
    /* (1?) */

I'm still setting up a ReactOS build environment.
