Something old, something new

The Old New Thing[^] This is Raymond Chen's blog. The man is a wizard, so if you want deep dives into Windows guts in C++ it's worth perusing. I just used it to craft an otherwise dependency free 64-bit Windows DLL that grabs the currently selected file (if any) from windows explorer - actually no easy feat - and all in a less than 17KB total binary footprint. :omg:

His book looks very interesting, sounds like a Christmas present in the works.

It is indeed. I’ve got it many years ago and perused it many, many times. It might be a bit dated now as there are many things related to Win95 and 16 bits. His blog however is always fresh and worth visiting on a regular basis. Maybe he will come up with a second edition of the book or an entirely new one.

What is the thread reaper? - The Old New Thing[^] I was looking at this article and it made me wonder if that wasn't the reason that in FreeRTOS a thread had to either destroy itself with a system call, or be destroyed by another thread. If it ran to completion it would crash. Maybe that RTOS has the same problem, but no thread reaper.

That makes sense that a thread can't clean up after itself. I hadn't ever thought about it! I like his writing style.

It looks like he posts a new message every day! That must be difficult.
The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I'm thinking it's among his responsibilities at MS. I could be wrong.
