LNK1218 error - WinXP DDK

Igor_Markov · November 15, 2001, 6:38am

Hi,

When trying to link module written in C++ (compiled in MSVS.NET 7.0, beta2)
with miniport driver code written in C and compiled with WinXP DDK compiler
(Release candidate), the following link error occurs:
“LNK1218: warning treated as error”
Could not find any dosc regarding this error.

Thanks in advance for any information,

Igor.

Why would you expect that to work? Try compiling your c++ module with
the same compiler that you are using for the DDK.

Does winXP DDK have C++ compiler?

Thanks!

Yes sure of course. Microsoft has only one compiler, it groks C or C++
tokens based on either the file extension (.c vs. .cpp) or there is a
command line flag that will force the mode. The fact that there is only one
compiler is generally lost on the C+±kernel-bad crowd.

No, the DDK doesn’t include a compiler. The MSDN Professional Subscription includes Vidual Studio with C++, J++, all DDK…

As far as I know, WinXP DDK does include the compiler (previous DDKs did
not, that’s why MSVC was required). I just was not sure that it is OK with
C++.

Thanks!

Actually the XP DDK more or less documents that C++ is used by microsoft for
some of its own kernel drivers. This is not quite a blessing of C++ for
kernel development but it is far from the “microsoft forbids this” claims
that have been seen here. Anyhow, compile away - and you should send a bug
to the .NET beta team about the LNK1218 undocumented issue.

I beg to differ, in the bin\x86 folder of my WinXP DDK install is cl.exe and
c1xx.dll, these together make up the compiler for the DDK.

This is one of the improvements in the ddk that it doesn’t need VStudio
installed first.

Really true.
2 parser engines - for C and C++ - and the same optimizer engine.

The Windows XP DDK includes a special version of the .NET compiler. It is
only the command line compiler with no Visual Studio. It is, AFAIK, the
only approved compiler for XP device drivers. I have heard that there are
some special features in that compiler that won’t be in the full .NET Visual
Studio package. Those features are only for drivers.

I stand corrected. Does the XP DDK include Visual C++, IDE and all? Or just the back end components (compiler linker)?

Bscmake is the only tool I’m missing there and believe it was forgotten.
Fortunately, VC6 version seems to work well with SBR files generated by XP
DDK compiler.

Note there is a problem with included SDK and delayloaded DLLs. VC6 link
expects documented __delayLoadHelper function but XP DDK link expects
(uncodumented?) __delayLoadHelper2 and isn’t backward compatible. Has
anybody some info about this difference?

Bscmake was not forgotten. It was deliberately omitted. It would seem
that the VC folks were afraid, very afraid, that the 2-300 driver
developers on the planet would never ever buy their
visual.net.whatever.studio.version-it-is-today upgrades if (and perhaps
only if) bscmake were included in the ddk. That was their line in the
sand. They will not be moved.

But for now it is nothing for as you say, the v6 bscmake works fine. But
the future? Who knows. If I can’t browse source code with microsoft
tools I’ll go find tools that I can browse source code with.

Visual SlickEdit has *excellent* browsing capabilities. Although I personally
prefer to use the IDE, I know that with SlickEdit’s browse-tags it’s possible to
browse across multiple projects, and even into DLL functions.

Doesn’t it use BSC info for browsing? Programmers editors usually offer two
possibilities: internal scanning and BSC based browsing. The second has an
advantage it uses compiler generated info so you can see symbols exactly as
compiler does (think about #ifdef…). The disadvantage is you need
something to compile and have to recompile after changes to see new symbols.

No, SlickEdit has its own parser and browse-tag creation capabilities, and most
importantly does *not* require a successful compile to even be attempted.
