preprocessor definition "DBG"

NTFSD
1

Hello,

When I build the “free” version of my FS filter driver I have a problem that
the driver is loaded at the incorrect entry point (a debugger shows an
address where system fails as “00000008:00000000”)
The driver is loaded on demand, so when I start the serivce I get the issue.

Checked version of the driver works properly!!

I found that such behavior appears if I remove “DBG=1” from the preprocessor
definitions.

What can be the problem?

P.S. I don’t use standard setenv.bat file to build free version. I
used a 3d-party utility to create a .DSW file with settings
appropriate to build kernel-mode drivers from the makefile provided
with filespy, after that the .DSW file was converted to .SLN file.

Welcome to the “DUH I USED A STUPID NON-STANDARD BUILD AND NOW I HAVE
PROBLEMS CLUB”. You obviously are getting the setting correct, and what are
you going to do when:

  1. You want to run PreFAST?
  2. You want to build for 64-bit?
  3. You want to run SDV when it is available?
  4. Microsoft changes the build settings, as they do once in a while?

Bottom line is use the stock build environment, otherwise your driver will
be crap. If you want to develop is VS use ddkbuild from OSR or
http://www.hollistech.com/ to build.
