compiler error C2371 -- how to fix?

NTDEV
1

So for those of you that have been helping with my enduring adventure of building a driver here is another issue I just started having.

My driver has the following #includes and compiles and runs fine.
#include “ntddk.h”
#include “ntdddisk.h”
#include “ntstrsafe.h”

However as soon as I added
#include “ntifs.h”

In order to support using ZwSetObjectSecurity and using RtlCreateAcl, RtlAddAccessAllowedAce,
RtlCreateSecurityDescriptor, & RtlSetDaclSecurityDescriptor. I now get the following two errors:

1>c:\winddk\7600.16385.0\inc\ddk\ntifs.h(85) : error C2371: ‘PEPROCESS’ : redefi
nition; different basic types
1>c:\winddk\7600.16385.0\inc\ddk\ntifs.h(86) : error C2371: ‘PETHREAD’ : redefin
ition; different basic types

How can I resolve this?

Never mind… after looking through the offending files “ntddk.h” and “ntifs.h” I saw that ntddk.h had a statement to look for ntifs.h, so just moved ntifs.h above ntddk.h and the errors went away… imagine that.

Replace ntddk.h with ntifs.h the latter is a super set.
