- Manage the lifetime of the temporary 'PartitionBuffer' buffer where
it is locally used only, and free it as soon as possible, just after
calculating the sector checksum. No need to then free it outside of
the main for-loop.
- When the 'DriveLayout' buffer is freed, ensure the pointer is NULL-ed
(and assert this at the top of the main for-loop), since it can also
be freed at cleanup outside this for-loop, and in this case a NULL
check is performed.
This will avoid the scenario of possibly double-freeing a pointer,
in the case the 'DriveLayout' was previously freed (when e.g. reading
the sector for checksum calculation failed), then the for-loop goes to
the next disk and stops early.
The purpose of 'SingleDisk' is the same as in the IopCreateArcNames()
function. It is an optimization for that when looking up the
firmware-recognized ARC disks list, in order to match one of these with
the current NT disk being analysed (see e.g. also in IopCreateArcNamesDisk()),
we avoid a possible IopVerifyDiskSignature() call and directly build a
corresponding ARC name NT symbolic link for it.
'SingleDisk' will actually be TRUE, whether the DiskSignatureListHead
list is empty or contains only one element: Indeed in only both these
cases, 'DiskSignatureListHead.Flink->Flink' will refer to the list head.
(If the list is empty but 'SingleDisk' is TRUE, this does not matter,
because the DiskSignatureListHead looking-up loop never starts.)
- Change INIT_FUNCTION and INIT_SECTION to CODE_SEG("INIT") and DATA_SEG("INIT") respectively
- Remove INIT_FUNCTION from function prototypes
- Remove alloc_text pragma calls as they are not needed anymore
* 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
