Compiler issue

NTDEV
1

The FP issue made me wondering.

Since the DDK seems to use a relatively new C++ compiler:

  • Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 13.00.9176 for 80x86
  • Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1984-2001. All rights reserved.
    And seems to have been built with VC7 (since it uses msvcr70.dll)

where VC7.1 uses:

  • Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 13.10.3077 for 80x86
  • Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1984-2002. All rights reserved.

Q1.1 Can we use the VC7.1 compiler for kernel mode compilation by simply replacing [DDK]\bin\x86 with [VS2003]\Vc7\bin and needed dlls from [VS2003]\Common7\IDE ?
Or it is just plain stupid? :slight_smile:
I always wanted to use “__super” in KM :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Q1.2 This question then sets to see if we can simply use the IDE to build our projects (With correct rebasing and all the stuff to make it works).

*And*

Q2. Does in free mode the compiler uses all the intrinsics that the compiler support, like InterlockedXXX and FP functions, or you have to use #pragma intrinsic() and some defines like I always do in UM ?

Q1.1: in my opinion this is, as you speculate, just plain stupid. It also
won’t work without a lot of trouble. The DDK FINALLY COMES WITH A COMPLETE,
VERSION APPROPRIATE, TOOLSET. Why would you want to screw this up?

Q1.2: yes you can use the IDE. There are several methods available, from my
simple ddkbuild.bat solution, to various wizards. See my article on the
choices available at http://www.wd-3.com/
