I am enquiring if anyone has had to use the function
ExTryToAcquireResourceExclusiveLite()?
I am writing an FS and have a requirement for this function. It is defined
in the ntifs.h and ntddk.h headers, however it is not exported in the
ntoskrnl.lib hence unresolved linker problems. I am currently using the
ExAcquireResourceExclusiveLite() with the Wait param set to false. However
the doco seems to point to an optimization with
ExTryToAcquireResourceExclusiveLite function…
Have been through the MSDN and OSR looking for any info regarding this
function, could not find any outstanding BUGS or PRB’s.
Note: I am developing under NT4 SP6 with the IFS Kit.
Regards,
Ian

Ian,
ISTR that ExTryToAcquireResourceExclusiveLite() is new at Win2000.

I’ve used this function multiple times. Seems to work fine, no link
problems.
What exactly is your question?

Hmmm, I have old DDK documentation which describes the function and as I said
previously the NTIFS.h and NTDDK.h headers both define the function??? Why would
MS do this and not export it in the ntoskrnl.lib? Was it an oversight…
Thanks,
Ian

With regards to Andy’s response, are you using this function in a W2K
environment?
