SEH
by Richard Campbell 17 Jun '04

17 Jun '04

Hey guys, As you know, a while ago Microsoft made it's compiler toolkit freely available for download. I was thinking earlier today, of improving the stability of ReactOS, when i happened to remember that microsoft's compiler supports SEH. My question is, why don't we add support for the Microsoft compiler? Nothing in the EULA prevents it as far as i can see, and we could still maintain full support for MingW (minus the SEH of course). An interesting thought... Richard

When I run Windows I use MSYS all the time so of course people like me will want to run it on ReactOS. I even did some testing a while back and it works now on ReactOS except with have this nasty forking bug.....so as long as you only run 1 application that does not fork you are ok <g> So yeah we will support it like we will try to support any other Windows application but it will never be part of the default release.

Re: [ros-general] networks

Rather than storing files in my documents, which are as you said transferred at every logon, it is a better option to store them in a mapped network drive that reconnects at every logon... a different one for every user that connects as U. That way the my documents directory gets transmitted very fast... but the network drive is not transferred. I hope it helps, Youness

Publicity

Hey, I just show your project in slashdot, and I would like to say that you are doing a great job, and that I will try to get involved myself. It's a pity that projects like yours don't have too much publicity. I am sure that would help a lot to find developers and other people to help. Anyway nice job! :) PS: do you know where can I find API documentation or some documentation about the, so far done job?

Read a bit about the folder redirection policy in the Windows 2000 Server documentation (free download from Microsoft) and on Technet. Some parts are still copied back and forth (the per-user registry hive files, because they are accessed a lot like paging files, and they can't be accessed reliably enough over the network), some others (like the internet cache) will not roam at all to avoid bandwidth waste and some programs may not be able to access bare UNC paths (as folder redirection doesn't mount the remote directories under drive letters) but it works well enough for most practical purposes. You could even do it manually, but it doesn't work as good >does anyone else have any opinions on this? yes. Never assume, verify first. Windows upgrades do bring improvements
