(Question) ReactOS support?

[fithisux]

Is ReactOS with gcc supported?

[pravic]

AFAIK, ReactOS maintains compatibility with Windows XP (upd: NT 5.2 aka Windows Server 2003 aka XP 64) , so you can write and run windows drivers under both systems. Moreover, kernel mode API are stable since Windows NT, so it wouldn't be a problem if you doesn't use undocumented objects or newer functions.

As for GCC — dunno. I am not familar with it, but it seems windows drivers are supported by GNU LD too. So, you can compile Rusty code as object file (by rustc) or static library (by cargo or rustc) and link it as driver module.

Also you need to write a target specification, if you do not want to pass all driver-specific options to the toolchain every time.

I checked examples under ReactOS 0.4.0. It works well despite of DbgView could not capture kernel debug output somehow.

Thank you very much for the information.
