Hi,
the DDK documentation says:
"Input parameters:
The Parameters.SetFile.FileInformationClass member is set to
FileEndOfFileInformation or FileAllocationInformation.
Headers:
Defined in wdm.h and ntddk.h. Include wdm.h or ntddk.h."
However “FileAllocationInformation” is not defined in “wdm.h” but it is in
“ntddk.h”.
Since I’m using “wdm.h” how can I get the definition ? Or is it an error in
the documentation ?
Copy-paste the definition from NTDDK.H

Well that shouldn’t be the right answer, should it? If you are tempted to
copy pieces of ntddk.h, you might want to consider using ntddk.h rather than
wdm.h.
I hate to open the following can o’worms (well not really, actually I enjoy
it, but that is simply because I don’t have a life,) but if you aren’t
targeting the obsolete 'Dos98 or Windows MiniMe, why user wdm.h at all?

Are you out of your mind? The worst disasters in drivers come from hacked
includes like this.
Either use ntddk.h and recognize you are going to be running on Windows
2000/XP/2003 only, or do not use the field since you cannot be sure it is
supported in Win9x.

I have assumed the question to be NT-only.
For NT OSes, it is OK to copy-paste the function declarations from NTDDK.H and
even NTIFS.H.
Not so with Win9x.

As far as I am concerned it never makes any sense to do so, roughly wdm.h is
a subset of ntddk.h which is a subset of ntifs.h (Microsoft at this years
WinHEC announced they will truly make them so, i.e. wdm.h will be included
in ntddk.h which will be included in ntifs.h in the future).
I have seen too many kludges where someone took out pieces from an include
to and shoved them in to ever think this is good. What is next poor
unsuspecting driver writer to do, when:

Not really… I had a case were a user mode program had cut and paste in
the definition for IO_STATUS_BLOCK like so
typedef struct _IO_STATUS_BLOCK {
NTSTATUS Status;
ULONG Information;
} IO_STATUS_BLOCK, *PIO_STATUS_BLOCK;
which will work for 32 bit NT, but is wrong for 64 bit. It should be
typedef struct _IO_STATUS_BLOCK {
union {
NTSTATUS Status;
PVOID Pointer;
};
ULONG_PTR Information;
} IO_STATUS_BLOCK, *PIO_STATUS_BLOCK;
The primary problem was the ULONG should have been a ULONG_PTR, so I was
getting corruption of the user mode stack.
Thanks,
Rob

JFTR* you can run a driver built with ntddk.h on 98/Me too. Just don’t
call functions that 98/Me doesn’t support (or that aren’t in WDMSTUB).
