Re: [coLinux-devel] coLinux on NT4?

[Benoit M. <ben...@cg...>]

memory allocated with ExAllocatePoolWithTag can also be freed with
ExFreePool (wich is NT4 supported)
in the file src/colinux/winnt/kernel/lowlevel/alloc.c
I gonna try to compile tonight with the second in place of the first......

And this function is declared in win32api, include/ddk/winddk.h
these functions are dependent of a flag : POOL_TAGGING, does someone know if
this is set in colinux cross compilation tools? I don't think so.

thx
Ben
