[ros-kernel] ReactOS 0.2.1 RC2

[Waldo Alvarez Cañizares]

Hi Filip:
 
I almost always use stripped binaries. If I want to debug I just put a DbgPrint somewhere. If that doesn't works Bochs debugger comes to help. ntoskrnl.exe unstripped is > 600 Kb (about 800 if I remember well).I prefer unstripped to make bugs the most reproducible as possible but well sometimes the DbgPrint changes some things and well ROS have some random behavior when it starts (it almost never executes the same) but I always try to minimize that as much as possible.
 
Regards
Waldo Alvarez

Hi!

Maybe I'm missing something, but have anyone of you tried running pure
'strip' on the ReactOS executables? It really makes wonders...

Regards,
Filip

Load little + decompress < Load Big from harddisk/floppy/CD. It is not paged out anyway and in the future I don't expect a big part of it to be paged. I was thinking that we could free also some pages containing initialization stuff. Why have them in memory when they are not going to be used anymore?
