Documentation and Implementation
|
|
|
|
- Add GetModuleUsage (Yes)
|
|
|
|
- Add CreatePipe (Yes)
|
|
|
|
- Add FormatMessage (Yes)
|
|
|
|
- Add third parameter to GetResource
|
|
|
|
- Add GetDiskInfo (will return volume label, file system name and FS
|
|
attributes, such as case sensitivity, sorted directories, long file
|
|
name support) Configuration Manager API?
|
|
|
|
- Add Mapped Files (Yes, but should it support Copy-on-Write option)
|
|
|
|
- Add Per Process/Thread Data (Yes, as special loader fixup)
|
|
|
|
- Global/Local lock counts to 16 bits (Yes, if okay with DavidW)
|
|
(What about 32 bits?)
|
|
|
|
- Global/Local discardability implemented (Yes, but no Notify procs)
|
|
|
|
- Floating Point support (Yes, handled with special DLL for machines with
|
|
387 and emulator DLL for machines without FP hardware)
|
|
|
|
- Implement millisecond timer resolution in NT kernel
|
|
|
|
- Change file date/time structures to be TIME instead of FATDATE/FATTIME
|
|
(Send BenS the code)
|
|
|
|
- Add file name validation API or Edit name API (Everybody wants it,
|
|
but Markl is whining)
|
|
|
|
- Need to define totally new COMM API for Win32
|
|
|
|
- Need to add a bit for GlobalAlloc that says GlobalRealloc will not be
|
|
called and therefore 64KB alignment is not required.
|
|
|
|
- Win 3.1 Registration API needs to be expanded to 32-bits, documented
|
|
and implemented. (FloydR owns this)
|
|
|
|
- Add bit for unbuffered I/O
|
|
|
|
Implementation only
|
|
|
|
- Global/Local allocation needs to have little or no overhead for small
|
|
objects. This will require complete redesign and implementation of the
|
|
current RtlxxxxHeap routines.
|
|
|
|
Documentation only
|
|
|
|
- Named Shared Memory (No, can use mapped files instead)
|
|
|
|
- Guard Pages (No, can use PAGE_NOACCESS instead)
|
|
|
|
- WinMain replaced by main needs to be clearly explained, or keep WinMain
|
|
with no arguments (all parms accessed via procedure calls)
|
|
|
|
- Explain that the only limitation on Win32 handles is memory not some
|
|
fixed limit. Dos/Win32 will have limits.
|
|
|
|
- Swapfile growable (check with Lou and document its characteristics)
|
|
|
|
- Need to document exactly how shared DLL data is supported and how instance
|
|
data is the default. Especially how LocalAlloc for a DLL allocates from the
|
|
process heap and NOT a DLL heap in shared DLL data.
|
|

Unanswered

|
|
|
- Work with Language group to resolve debug issues (32-bit image file format,
|
|
and OsDebug API definition).
|
|
|
|
- Look at supporting global synchronization handles.
|
|
|
|
- Unicode support for file names is a big questions. If we have to do it
|
|
it will mean a lot of work in the NT object manager, I/O subsystem and
|
|
all the file system implementations (FAT, HPFS, NTFS, NPFS, CDFS).
|
|
|
|
- Need to determine work effort for Unicode support in remainder of Win32
|
|
Base API set, outside of file names.
|
|
|
|
- Design amount of process structure need in Win 32 to support ^C for
|
|
consoles and Windows apps.
|
|
|
|
- Error code definitions
|
|
|
|
- Exception Specification (who owns it)
|
|
|
|
- Win 3.1 Version Checking (New, unknown feature of Win 3.1 needs to be
|
|
investigated)
|
|
|
|
- Win 3.1 Loading Order (Ensure Win 32 loading order matches)
|
|
|
|
- Directory Change notification for the File Manager. Need to
|
|
determine how DOS code works and whether or not to make this a win32
|
|
api, and how to do it/who owns it for NT.
|
|
|
|
- Need to address the needs of a garbage collection scheme. Talk with
|
|
Ellis.
|
|
|
|
- Calling convention (_stdcall or pascal)
|
|
|
|
Markl questions:
|
|
|
|
- TIME instead of FATTIME/FATDATE?
