For WriteConsoleOutput API only!! Diagnosed with ApiMonitor from Rohitab. If one tries to write a too large buffer (>= 80*198 CHAR_INFO cells), the CsrAllocateCaptureBuffer API helper fails, because it uses the non-growable CSR port heap of fixed size 64kB. Since many applications use the API with large buffers (for example, Far Manager <= 1.70, the Windows XTree app http://textmode.netne.net/Extreme.html , ...) and maybe NTVDM, Windows (and hence ReactOS for compatibility reasons) allocates a buffer in the process' heap (and not in the CSR port heap via the CSR capture API), so that the big buffer allocation should work. Then, to be able to access it, CSR needs to call NtReadVirtualMemory for capturing the buffer. CORE-5006 CORE-6397 CORE-8424 #resolve svn path=/branches/condrv_restructure/; revision=63841
======================== ReactOS Version 0.3.x Updated Dec 16, 2006 ======================== 1. What is ReactOS? ReactOS is an Open Source effort to develop a quality operating system that is compatible with Windows NT applications and drivers. The ReactOS project, although currently focused on Windows XP/2003 drivers compatibility, is always keeping an eye toward compatibility with older version of Windows NT family ( NT 4.0, 2000 (NT 5.0)) and new Windows NT releases (Vista, etc). Applications (Win32 API) compatibility focus is Windows XP. More information is available at http://www.reactos.org/. 2. Building ReactOS See the INSTALL file for more details. 3. More information See the media\doc subdirectory for some sparse notes. 4. Who is responsible See the CREDITS file.
