Hi,
in the past I remember that I had crashes that where related to paging
memory in my audio driver. Conclusion:
I always use #pragma code_seg() if I'm not sure.

MSDN has this article about risks of using C++ in drivers -
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg487420.aspx
But PortCls drivers, especially audio drivers are C++ by default.
Why have they taken such a cowardly approach in the article?
Either they should declare explicitly that C++ is not allowed, or they
should provide full support for C++.
I don't like the words "might", "maybe", etc. in documentation.
Computer science is an exact science in which everything should be
clearly defined.
The author mentions reading the output of the compiler (assembly)
carefully, is he really being serious about it??
Does he really expect us to go through assembly output of the compiler?
I'm not super-human and cannot (infact refuse) to go through compiler
generated assembly of everything I have written.
Has anyone ever encountered a crash due to using C++ in WDM drivers?
Regards,
Girish
