[ros-kernel] Differences between ntdll and ntoskrnl Rtl functions

you can't be serious

Sure. You can't . Sharing source code makes maintenance easier. There is a lot of work towards that doing program slicing to fine clones in source code. It reapeat's again and again, software developers do the same things over and over. The same data structures, the same algorithms... Think about it a little and you'll notice it's true. As some people say "Programmers should be lazy, the good programmers can program very good... The best ones know how to reuse". At the end not sharing means more bugs in things that were already done, means that bugs will be more reproducible since there will be more chances to make it appear, fixing one of them will fix everything, as well as optimizing the shared code, also in some cases the binary could be shared wich means smaller software(when you do not statically link). I would say "the benefits of sharing code outweigh the disadvantages."

Best Regards
