Ntdll.dll is NOT synced with WINE, it is made by ReactOS (source)

The Native API Architecture is implemented in NTDLL.dll. Aside from containing Native API user mode entry points, NTDLL.dll also contains process startup and module loading code.

NTdll contains part of the Native API, including the C Run Time Library (RTL) api.

ChangeLog-0.2.2

  • Fixed a bug in AppendUnicodeStringToString which could cause a null to be placed one position after the end of a completely full string (Art Yerkes)

  • Split LdrpProcessImportDirectory into LdrpProcessImportDirectory and to process all entries with the same name (Hartmut Birr)
  • RtlGetFullPathName_U() is supposed to check the parameter buff, it could be NULL (Thomas Weidenmueller)

  • Implemented RtlCreateCriticalSectionSpinCount (Gunnar Dalsnes)

ChangeLog-0.2.3

  • Interpret the sign for qualifier 'l' (Hartmut Birr)

ChangeLog-0.2.4

ChangeLog-0.2.5

  • Fixed RtlLargeIntegerArithmeticShift() not to return uninitialized data from the stack (Thomas Weidenmueller)
  • Adapted RtlIntegerToUnicode() from RtlIntegerToChar() and RtlInt64ToUnicodeString() from RtlIntegerToUnicodeString() (Thomas Weidenmueller)
  • Implemented RtlIpv4AddressToStringA/W() and RtlValidRelativeSecurityDescriptor() (Thomas Weidenmueller)

ChangeLog-0.2.7

  • (Thomas Weidenmueller)
  • Implemented RtlHashUnicodeString
  • Moved ntdll's atom table implementation to Rtl, and rewrote it to use proper structures and to share the generic *implementation between ntoskrnl and ntdll
  • Updated the Rtl handle table implementation to use proper structures; however, reserved handles are not yet supported correctly

ChangeLog-0.2.8 RTL

  • Implement !DeletePinned case in RtlEmptyAtomTable. (Filip Navara)
  • Fixed the definition of RtlUnicodeStringToCountedOemSize. This will fix bug 756. (Hartmut Birr)

  • RtlRaiseException to handle cases when a user-mode debugger is present (Alex Ionescu)
  • RtlRaiseStatus as above, plus set the exception address and capture context (Alex Ionescu)
  • Fix RtlDispatchException, add cases for exceptions in the DPC stack and validate the validity of the exception frames. Add support for exception logging by the global flag. Use TRAP_FRAME/EXCPETION_FRAME instead of Context. (Alex Ionescu)
  • Fix RtlUnwind logic, support cases where it's called with custom arguments instead of NULL. (Alex Ionescu)
  • Reimplement RtlpCaptureContext to work properly, convert exception handler calling functions to INTEL syntax and fix some bugs (like checking for the right unwind flag, clearing volatile register values, etc. Also use some optimizations to increase speed. (Alex Ionescu)
  • Implement KiRaiseException, add SEH to all user-mode parameters and when copying data to the user-mode stack. (Alex Ionescu)
  • Implemented all the Dbg* APIs. (Alex Ionescu)

NTDLL

  • Implement NTDLL's CSR routines in a compatible way. Fix prototypes, argument count, deprecated functions and new functions. Also added NtSecureConnectPort. (Alex Ionescu)
  • Make NTDLL Ki* callbacks have SEH to protect them and return to kernel-mode with notification of any exceptions (Alex Ionescu)
  • Fix seriously broken User-Mode Ldr thunk and APC Callback prototypes (Alex Ionescu)
  • Fix KiUserExceptionDispatcher (Alex Ionescu)
  • Fixed multiple bugs in RTL string routines (Alex Ionescu)
  • Implement DbgPrintEx, vDbgPrintEx, and vDbgPrintExWithPrefix (Royce Mitchell)

ChangeLog-0.2.9 Run Time Library (RTL)

  • RtlInt64ToUnicodeString increased the interal buffer size to 65bytes as wine does (Magnus Olsen)
  • RtlIntegerToUnicodeString/RtlIntegerToUnicodeString will take care of some intToChar Bugs. I have been locking of it for sometimes now thanks to crashfourit network patch and we talk I did found it. (Magnus Olsen)

  • Native API: Rtl is the second largest group of ntdll calls. These comprise the (extended) C Run-Time Library, which includes many utility functions that can be used by native applications, yet don't directly involve kernel support.
