WDK Build Error

NTDEV

Hi All,

I wanted to use the IOCTL_INTERNAL_USB_SUBMIT_IDLE_NOTIFICATION macro that
was defined in usbioctl.h .
However on including the file i was getting teh follwoing build error:

1>errors in directory d:\usb_selective_suspend\code\driver\umselsuspdriver

All the errors point to the Microsoft provided api header file.
Would be glad if anyone could help me out.

Thanks

Well no, they point to your source code, which has managed to botch up
a standard include file.

Perhaps you would like to share what your source code in
usbprintiocontrolhandler.c is doing? Is this a driver? An application?

Mark,

The code is for a UMDF driver .
bool USBPrintIOControlHandler::SuspendDevice(IOControlContext* context)
{
IWDFIoRequest* suspend_request = NULL;
PUSBBulkController usbBulkController= context->GetBulkController();
IWDFDevice *deviceObject = usbBulkController->GetFxDevice();
IWDFDriver *driver = usbBulkController->GetFxDriver();
HRESULT status = S_OK;
IWDFMemory *memory = NULL;
void* buffer = NULL;
/*First Create a Request*/
status = deviceObject->CreateRequest(NULL, NULL, &suspend_request);
if(FAILED(status) || suspend_request == NULL)
{
OutputDebugString(L"Create Request Failed");
//complete the request with the failure code
context->GetRequest()->Complete(status);
return false;
}
/*Create the Notification Object*/
buffer = new USB_IDLE_CALLBACK_INFO;
buffer->IdleCallback = IdleNotificationCallback;
buffer->IdleContext = NULL; //THis should be our device Extension
/*We need to know if our device is idle. So we submit
IOCTL_INTERNAL_USB_SUBMIT_IDLE_NOTIFICAT
ION that will give us the call back*/
IWDFIoTarget *ioTarget;
deviceObject->GetDefaultIoTarget(&ioTarget);
driver->CreateWdfMemory(context->GetOutBuffer(NULL), NULL, NULL, &memory);
if(ioTarget == NULL)
{
OutputDebugString(L"Failed to get Default IOTarget");
}
WDFMEMORY_OFFSET memOffst;
memOffst.BufferOffset = 0;
memOffst.BufferLength = sizeof(USB_IDLE_CALLBACK_INFO);

memory->CopyFromBuffer(0, buffer, sizeof(USB_IDLE_CALLBACK_INFO));
ioTarget->FormatRequestForIoctl(suspend_request,
IOCTL_INTERNAL_USB_SUBMIT_IDLE_NOTIFICATION,
NULL, memory, &memOffst, NULL, NULL);
}

This is the function that I have written.
I am including usbioctl.h as IOCTL_INTERNAL_USB_SUBMIT_IDLE_NOTIFICATION is
defined there.

Thanks
Abdul

Offhand I do not think you can send this IOCTL or include this file
from a umdf driver.

All the errors point to the Microsoft provided api header file.

Did you do any investigating of this at all? The line its complaining
about is this:
BOOLEAN LowSpeed;

Based on the error, either you have the symbol LowSpeed in a #define
somewhere, or you have not included a file that defines the BOOLEAN type.

However, I believe Mark is completely correct. This is a kernel-only
ioctl. You can’t send it from user mode. The fact that it includes the
address of a callback function should make that clear.
