[ros-dev] CreateFile, typecasts and PICE loader

[Felipe Villarroel]

Hi ReactOS devs!,
currently i'm trying to get PICE compiling and working again (and learning something about the ReactOS internals in the process). Currently i have a question related to what i'm doing.
To fix some warnings in the compilation of the PICE loader i have to fix the first parameter to CreateFile, because CreateFile expects the first parameter to be a LPCWSTR and its a char* instead. Its ok to typecast the char* to LPCWSTR? as in
file = CreateFile((LPCWSTR) SrcFileNames[i],GENERIC_READ , 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, 0); ?

and also i have another question. Currently in the source (main.c) we assume in line 368 that sizeof(DWORD) == sizeof(INT) and the compiler issues a warning. Its ok to typecast this too?
find_stab_sections(p,IMAGE_FIRST_SECTION(pNTHeaders),pNTHeaders->FileHeader.NumberOfSections,&pStab,(PINT) &nStabLen,&pStr,&nStabStrLen);

Well, thats all i have to say. Hmm, i forgot, thanks for all your hard work done in ReactOS!. I'm watching the project and the mailing list from 2000 onwards but i only speak if i need to say anything :). I always try to get people interested in this project, explaining to people what is and what its not. Also, i'm a native spanish speaker. I would be happy to help in anyway i could.

thanks again for your great work,
Best regards,
Logan_V8
