![]() All these modifications have been verified with Windows' CMD, either by using written cmd_rostests and the existing cmd_winetests, or manually by enabling the flags cmd!fDumpTokens and cmd!fDumpParse (available in the public symbols) and analyzing how the tokens are being parsed, as well as the generated command tree. See also the following links for more details (but remember that these observations have to be double-checked in Windows' CMD!): * Parser rules: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4095133/13530036 * Discussion: https://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8355 * Numbers parsing: https://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3758 * Label names vs. GOTO and CALL: https://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3803 and: https://www.dostips.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3803&p=55405#p55405 - Fix REM command parsing. A C_COMMAND-like structure should still be built, so that it can show up during batch command echo. However some specific handling needs to be done, so use instead a new C_REM command type. Escape carets are parsed differently than usual: they are explicitly kept in the command line and don't participate in line continuations. Also, the Windows' CMD behaviour is to discards everything before the last line continuation. - Prefix operator '@' (the "silent" operator) is parsed as a separate command. Thus, the command @@foo@bar is parsed as: '@', '@', 'foo@bar'. - Improve the checks for numbered redirection. For this purpose, we check whether this is a number, that is in first position in the current parsing buffer or is preceded by a whitespace- like separator, including standard command operators (excepting '@' !) and double-quotes. - Empty command blocks, i.e. "( )", standing by themselves, or present in IF or FOR commands, are considered invalid. (The closing parenthesis is considered "unexpected".) - Ignore single closing parenthesis when being outside of command blocks, thus interpreting it as a command, and ignore explicitly everything following on the same line, including line continuations. This very specific situation can happen e.g. while running in batch mode, when jumping to a label present inside a command block. See the code for a thorough explanation. - Detect whether a parenthesized block is not terminated at the end of a command stream (getting a NUL character instead of a newline), and if so, bail out early instead of entering into an infinite loop. - Perform a similar check for the parenthesized list in FOR commands. - Initialize the static 'InsideBlock' value to a known value. - The '&' operator (multi-commmand) is allowed to have an empty RHS. When such situation occurs, turn the CurrentTokenType to TOK_END so as to avoid a parse error later on. - The main body of a IF statement, or its 'else' clause, as well as the main body of a FOR statement, must not be empty, otherwise this is considered a syntax error. If so, call ParseError() that sets the 'bParseError' flag, and forcing all batch execution to stop. |

What is ReactOS?
ReactOS™ is an Open Source effort to develop a quality operating system that is compatible with applications and drivers written for the Microsoft® Windows™ NT family of operating systems (NT4, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, Seven).
The ReactOS project, although currently focused on Windows Server 2003 compatibility, is always keeping an eye toward compatibility with Windows Vista and future Windows NT releases.
The code of ReactOS is licensed under GNU GPL 2.0.
ReactOS is currently an Alpha quality operating system. This means that ReactOS is under heavy development, things may not work well and it can corrupt the data present on your hard disk. It is recommended to test ReactOS on a virtual machine or on a computer with no sensitive or critical data!
Building
To build the system it is strongly advised to use the ReactOS Build Environment (RosBE). Up-to-date versions for Windows and for Unix/GNU-Linux are available from our download page at: "Build Environment".
Alternatively one can use Microsoft Visual C++ (MSVC) version 2015+. Building with MSVC is covered here: "Visual Studio or Microsoft Visual C++".
See "Building ReactOS" article for more details.
Binaries
To build ReactOS you must run the configure
script in the directory you want to have your build files. Choose configure.cmd
or configure.sh
depending on your system. Then run ninja <modulename>
to build a module you want or just ninja
to build all modules.
Bootable images
To build a bootable CD image run ninja bootcd
from the build directory. This will create a CD image with a filename bootcd.iso
.
You can always download fresh binary builds of bootable images from the "Daily builds" page.
Installing
By default, ReactOS currently can only be installed on a machine that has a FAT16 or FAT32 partition as the active (bootable) partition. The partition on which ReactOS is to be installed (which may or may not be the bootable partition) must also be formatted as FAT16 or FAT32. ReactOS Setup can format the partitions if needed.
Starting with 0.4.10, ReactOS can be installed using the BtrFS file system. But consider this as an experimental feature and thus regressions not triggered on FAT setup may be observed.
To install ReactOS from the bootable CD distribution, extract the archive contents. Then burn the CD image, boot from it, and follow the instructions.
See "Installing ReactOS" Wiki page or INSTALL for more details.
Testing
If you discover a bug in ReactOS search on JIRA first - it might be reported already. If not report the bug providing logs and as much information as possible.
See "File Bugs" for a guide.
NOTE: The bug tracker is not for discussions. Please use our official chat or our forum.
Contributing 
We are always looking for developers! Check how to contribute if you are willing to participate.
Legal notice: If you have seen proprietary Microsoft Windows source code (including but not limited to the leaked Windows NT 3.5, NT 4, 2000 source code and the Windows Research Kernel), your contribution won't be accepted because of potential copyright violation.
Try out cloud-based ReactOS development using Gitpod and Docker:
You can also support ReactOS by donating! We rely on our backers to maintain our servers and accelerate development by hiring full-time devs.
More information
ReactOS is a Free and Open Source operating system based on the Windows architecture, providing support for existing applications and drivers, and an alternative to the current dominant consumer operating system.
It is not another wrapper built on Linux, like WINE. It does not attempt or plan to compete with WINE; in fact, the user-mode part of ReactOS is almost entirely WINE-based and our two teams have cooperated closely in the past.
ReactOS is also not "yet another OS". It does not attempt to be a third player like any other alternative OS out there. People are not meant to uninstall Linux and use ReactOS instead; ReactOS is a replacement for Windows users who want a Windows replacement that behaves just like Windows.
More information is available at: reactos.org.
Also see the media/doc subdirectory for some sparse notes.
Who is responsible
Active devs are listed as members of GitHub organization. See also the CREDITS file for others.
Code mirrors
The main development is done on GitHub. We have an alternative mirror in case GitHub is down.
There is also an obsolete SVN archive repository that is kept for historical purposes.
