Its hard to claim our implementation is "clean room" if you are basing your
implementation on
debug information rather than reverse enginered behavior. I am not opposed to observing
the
implementation via debug information and then writting tests to match behavior but there
is a fine
line...

Thanks

Then I would appreciate a more through reponse then just "explain this.
NOW!". This is not a Nazi Gestapo. Am I being accused of something? If so, what?
Please come forward and accuse me of whatever it is you wish to accuse me of, but
don't order me to submit explenations for every comment I make. The conversion was
between me and Gunnar, and it was interrupted in the middle by an accusation disguised as
a question. I do not like that kind of hypocrisy; make the accusation, if you have the
guts. Show everyone how after a year, you still spend your days making sure "Alex the
newcomer is legit".

And when it's all over and your little show is done, please go hide in a corner as
everyone laughs at you for making such a big deal out of public information.

strings ntoskrnl.exe:

"
d:\srvrc1\base\ntos\ke\wait.c
Objectx->Header.Type != QueueObject"

Hm, I didn't even copy the exact source line and I still was accused. Maybe next time
you should learn what a checked build is, and write a driver that does
KeWaitForSingleObject on a Queue.

This climate of paranoia is getting to my nerves.

As for Steven... WINE, ROS, and any other compatibility product out there is not 100%
clean room. It has never been, will never be, cannot be. Especially if we consider debug
information as being "dirty". Reminds me of people freaking out when I added
functions that were in the IFS -- you'd hope people would've grown up by now--.

I could make a list of over 25 parts of ReactOS which are not 100% clean. But I won't,
because that would tarnish our image. I would appreciate if you'd stop tarnishing mine
and making accusations.

Best regards,
Alex Ionescu
