Windows, Part IV - Dave Probert
Apr 07, 2005 at 7:41 AMGreat job channel 9! Squeeze Dave and get interviews from other kernel gurus too!!!
and *big* thanks for doing this Channel9!
For years, I wondered why the heck only Windows (and I believe VMS) has an implementation of the famous WaitForMultipleObjects(Ex) functions. I now understand it is the "OB" which enables this magic.
I want to hear more about the scheduler, the "OB", the "MM" and the heap management differencies between Windows NT, 2000, XP, etc. I also want to hear more about synchronization problems and their solutions in the kernel, especially about the containers (lists, queues) - how are they syncrhonized, are they lock free, how, etc. Also about the upcoming ALPC (aka LPC++?) and what's advanced (or ++) there, etc., etc.
I'm not a driver dev (middleware mostly) so these things really intrigue me. And Dave is just such a great talker!
I want more!!!
P.S. Aargh, and I forgot a very important thing! How do you guys actually *test* the kernel? I mean how the heck can one test WFMO for example? Thanks!
