What does DPH mean?

It's Debug Page Heap... Also it's what's VAT called in my country, but you probably don't care about that

Re: What are these terms?
Thanks. I looked it up in various places, and found things like Department of Public Health. I asked in part since I am helping maintain the abbreviations list.Black_Fox wrote:It's Debug Page Heap... Also it's what's VAT called in my country, but you probably don't care about that
And we don't use the VAT system where I live, but sales tax instead. Ultimately, the net result is close to the same in that the end customer pays more for a product, though the initial burden and collection are different.
When I started the thread this was split from, I intended it to be an ongoing reference thread. Now it is broken and incomplete, and missing ALL the context needed to understand it. What can I say? Your house, your rules. If I don't like it, I can always start a fork, but that will never happen or I'd have learned C and C++ by now, and Windows internals. But I only know Quick Basic (compiler BASIC, not just QBasic which is the cut-down, interpreter-only version) and TASM. That was fun using TASM to directly call Quick Basic's internal APIs, even with static assembly code, like asking B$SASS for a temporary string, or B$SCAT (or is it B$SCONCAT?) to append strings. My point is that this is the only game in town and I currently lack the skills to start a competing project.

I saw "NFC" in a few ROS commit logs, e.g. here. What does that mean?

Re: What are these terms?
What about GOP? I know they don't mean the Grand Old Party (US Republicans).
Wait, is it Graphics Output Protocol for UEFI? That would make sense in light of the recent commits.

Re: What are these terms?
And exactly what does the firmware boot manager do? I've seen code about its memory manager and heap. Now will any of that code help the main memory manager any?
Re: What are these terms?
My poorly informed understanding is that the firmware boot manager has something to do with UEFI magic.
Both a firmware boot manager and ReactOS have something called memory management. They share a similar name but are built for very different purposes. I doubt that the two can share code or architecture.

What is SRM?
Never mind. Storage Resource Management. Or in VMWare, it could be Site Recovery Manager.
Actually, in our case, it seems to mean: Security Reference Monitor.

Re: What are these terms?
I believe MCB means map control block. Maybe others can help my understanding, but from what little I could find in a search, that seems to be what caches the filesystem data about what is on the volume.
Re: What are these terms?
Yes this is that. Look at FsRtlInitializeLargeMcb in MSDN for example:PurpleGurl wrote:I believe MCB means map control block. Maybe others can help my understanding, but from what little I could find in a search, that seems to be what caches the filesystem data about what is on the volume.
FsRtlInitializeLargeMcb initializes a map control block (MCB) structure. File systems use MCB structures to map virtual block numbers (VBN) for a file to the corresponding logical block numbers (LBN) on disk.
