Hi, I have read few articles about different Windows C entry pooints, wmain and WinMain. So, if I am correct, these are added to C language compilers for Windows OS. But, how are implemented? For example, wmain gets Unicode as argv[], but its Os that sends these arguments to program, so is there any special field in the .exe file entry...

Is there anyone who knows well about this? I'm finding a nice case with LOAD_LIBRARY_AS_DATAFILE Is th...
Hi, I know that to receive notifications about win32 process creation or termination we might implement a NT kernel-mode driver using the APIs PsSetCreateProcessNotifyRoutine() that offers the ability to register system-wide callback function which is called by OS each time when a new process starts, exits or is terminated. My question...

Hi, I am playing around with lucene and 40GB of data (~500M of tuples, 2 fields behaving like key - value). I have created -- a suprise -- a 35 GB index which does not work. Therefore I want to create a set of smaller indicies but, for that, I need information about maximum size. ...
I have two processes, a producer and a consumer. IPC is done with OpenFileMapping/MapViewOfFile on Win32. The producer receives video from another source, which it then passes over to the consumer and synchronization is done through two events. For the producer: Receive frame Copy to shared memory using CopyMemory Trigger DataProduced...

When I call pthread_exit from main, the program never gets to terminate. I expected the program to finish, since I was exiting the program's only thread, but it doesn't work. It seems hung. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <pthread.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { printf("-one-\n"); pthread_exit(NULL); ...
