- Always use string pooling when building: this helps reducing the
size of the binaries due to string redundancy coming from the usage
of __FILE__ / __RELFILE__ in the debugging helper macros. Note also
that GCC builds use string pooling by default.
- Use suitable add_compile_flags() command.
- Add some explanative comments for some settings.
Some numbers (obtained with my local builds):
Before / After => Reduction
===========================
freeldr.sys : 443 KB ( 453.632 bytes) / 364 KB ( 372.736 bytes) => ~ 18%
win32k.sys : 1877 KB (1.922.048 bytes) / 1562 KB (1.599.488 bytes) => ~ 17%
ntoskrnl.exe : 2253 KB (2.307.072 bytes) / 1902 KB (1.947.136 bytes) => ~ 15.6%
kernel32.dll : 3008 KB (3.080.192 bytes) / 2906 KB (2.975.744 bytes) => ~ 3.4%
* [WIN32K] Fix handle calculation in DbgGdiHTIntegrityCheck
* [NOTEPAD] Fix MSVC warnings
* [PSDK] Simplify *PROC definitions in windef.h
* [VIDEOPRT] Don't try to use NtVdmControl on x64
* [FREELDR] Fix some macros
* [CRT] Make qsort 64 bit compatible
* [NTOS] Use #ifndef _WIN64 instead of #ifdef _M_IX86 around C_ASSERTs
* [FAST486] Fix 64 bit warnings and change DWORD to ULONG, so it can be used in kernel mode
* [APPHELP_APITEST] Fix 64 bit issue
* Add an NDK header to define INIT_FUNCTION/INIT_SECTION globally
* Use _declspec(allocate(x)) and _declspec(code_seg(x)) on MSVC versions that support it
* Use INIT_FUNCTION on functions only and INIT_SECTION on data only (required by MSVC)
* Place INIT_FUNCTION before the return type (required by MSVC)
* Make sure declarations and implementations share the same modifiers (required by MSVC)
* Add a global linker option to suppress warnings about defined but unused INIT section
* Merge INIT section into .text in freeldr
Fixes MSVC warnings:
sdk\include\crt\xmmintrin.h(33): warning C4162: '_mm_getcsr': no function with C linkage found
sdk\include\crt\xmmintrin.h(35): warning C4162: '_mm_setcsr': no function with C linkage found
Some initial work is done, all testcases pass now.
However a lot of the patch format is still unknown / not working,
so do not expect anything other than the apitest to work yet.
The next thing to do now, is to gather input, output and patch files,
and analyze how the compression and patching works on bigger /
more complex files.
