Bug in IFS headers...

I think I may have discover a (small) bug in RxLog.h
(missing extern on data structure declarations.)

Is there an address where these kinds of things can
be reported? I checked the IFS docs briefly but it
didn’t jump out at me.

Thanks,

Joseph

Here is as good a place as any to report problems.

Could you please tell me which structure and which version of the header
files you are referencing? I’ll pass this information along to the RDR
sample developers and we will get it fixed.

In the wxp version of build #3790, RxLog.h contains the following two
lines (near the bottom):

LIST_ENTRY RxIrpsList;
KSPIN_LOCK RxIrpsListSpinLock;

This caused me grief with multiply defined symbols until I changed them
to:

extern LIST_ENTRY RxIrpsList;
extern KSPIN_LOCK RxIrpsListSpinLock;

I’m building some of my source as cpp modules and the problem
cropped up when I converted my second source file to cpp. I’m
not sure why it wasn’t a problem with C.

I also had to wrap the include of ntifs.h and rx.h in an
extern “C” to get it to work… not sure if that is really
classified as a bug or not… but since there are #ifdef __cplusplus
strewn various places in the headers, I’d guess it might be.

Thanks,

Joseph
