Following commit was in regard to CRITICAL_SECTION: https://github.com/pfalcon/cegcc-w32api-try1/commit/47e68fa3391758aa4e3352a6916ac06c649278a4 Internally, I removed it, then did some googling (mostly looked at the search highlight excerpts), friend phoning, few debugging sessions. In the end, it seemed that structure was laid out right, just comments were dubious. Btw, while looking at vendor source may be considered questionable practice, because vendor source access is granted by a license which itself, and its licensing process (like changes evolution), don't receive enough 3rd-party review (and thus may contain *really* funky things), I consider that (L)GPL and its motivation is sufficiently known to public, so looking at (L)GPL texts to *get knowledge* is ok. It's like, some time ago I read in some glossy magazine that wearing specific model of hat in some specific way would protect my ears from frost much better than anything else. Not common knowledge on its own. And I couldn't copy and sell their magazine on my own, in full or in part, or copy that article to other magazine. But I use that knowledge since then, including in public, and wasn't requested to stop doing that or pay royalties. That's because that magazine is like all other magazines, and they don't do things like that. And there are many projects which use (L)GPL and stopping spreading of knowledge is not known to be among their aims. And it's different from the vendor, which has its proprietary license, motives of which are less clear. > > Vincent Torri -- Best regards, Paul mailto:pmis...@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ Cegcc-devel mailing list Cegcc-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cegcc-devel
