Spinlocks are not reentrant (and this is done a lot), using them forces us to have
an horrible hack in the kernel, which unschedules threads which are at DISPATCH_LEVEL
thus allowing another thread to take ownership of the spinlock while the unscheduled
thread should already hold it.
CORE-6473
NEVER DO THIS! It is guaranteed to be wrong. Instead always individually pack single structures that need packing.
This fixes USB mouse on 64 bit builds.
Addendum to 0.4.15-dev-1453-g 4ad7b6d
Looks like CMake on master does not longer understand the syntax of
replace_compile_flags().
Will investigate that later again, when other issues have been
solved that do currently prevent me from testing that locally at all.
Most likely remove_target_compile_option() has to be used instead now.
Not all files are included, but these are necessary to compile cdrom driver.
So far it can only be statically linked with drivers, a proper
implementation requires wdfldr helper driver
Instead of messing with global variables and the like, we introduce two target properties:
- WITH_CXX_EXCEPTIONS: if you want to use C++ exceptions
- WITH_CXX_RTTI: if you need RTTI in your module
You can use the newly introduced set_target_cpp_properties function, with WITH_EXCEPTIONS and WITH_RTTI arguments
We also introduce two libraries :
- cpprt: for C++ runtime routines
- cppstl: for the C++ standard template library
NB: On GCC, this requires to create imported libraries with the related built-in libraries:libsupc++, limingwex, libstdc++
Finally, we manage the relevant flags with the ad-hoc generator expressions
So, if you don't need exceptions, nor RTTI, nor use any runtime at all: you simply have nothing else to do than add your C++ file to your module
for vista+ APIs implemented in ntoskrnl_vista.
Now if you statically link ntoskrnl_vista into a driver,
NTKERNELAPI will automatically be removed from an API definition
This lead to a crash of winmm:mixer
during "GCCLin_x86 on Test VBox".
The crash was exposed when new code paths
were activated by 0.4.15-dev-791-g

I do intend to port this commit back into 0.4.14RC.
- No need to use a PCH when compiling a 1-file library.
- Add the _NTSYSTEM_ definition.
- Since the arbiter.h file is to be included by the users of this
library, namely only kernel-mode NT components (incl. NTOS), there
is no need to include the standard kernel-mode headers in it.
Include these headers instead in the private implementation of the
library, arbiter.c.
Pierre recommended this workaround for 0.4.8rls before.
Avoids "GetVolumeInformation now fails on NFS volume"
This workaround was recurrently applied for all releases
0.4.8, 0.4.9, 0.4.10, 0.4.11, 0.4.12, 0.4.13.
I never got any reply in the regression-ticket and recurrently
applying this over and over again is a waste of time.
So I decided to commit to master today, but will leave
the ticket unresolved, so when a proper fix will arrive in the future,
the existing ticket will remind us to undo this workaround.
Please note that I replaced #if 0 with #if 1
as discussed with Pierre. That's different to the patch in ticket.
hid.dll and hidparse.sys must understand the same HID preparsed data,
so use the same code in hid.dll and in hidparse.sys
At the same time, this permis implementation of some HidP_* functions.
Interface between both is not anymore the HidParser_* functions, but
the HidP_* functions and the AllocFunction/FreeFunction/DebugFunctions/
ZeroFunction/CopyFunction.
