Résumé

More and more programmers find themselves faced with developing Windows NT or Windows 98 drivers. This book explains the complex Windows driver architecture, and presents insights into a myriad of practical details that are rarely, if ever, documented. This new edition includes soup-to-nuts coverage of the Win32 Driver Model (WDM), which allows developers to create a single driver for NT and Windows 98 - including detailed steps for migrating existing drivers to WDM. This book clarifies Microsoft's murky driver documentation, and contains extensive detail Microsoft forgot to include. Learn about the NT I/O Manager and its data structures, and discover how various hardware issues impact driver design. Master hardware initialization; cleanup routines; driver dispatch routines; programmed I/O data transfers; timers; full-duplex drivers; DMA drivers; logging device errors; system threads; higher-level drivers; testing, debugging, performance and more. Learn how to set up a driver development environment and analyze crash dumps. This completely revised edition includes extensive new sample code on CD-ROM designed specifically to help streamline development projects. All Windows programmers who have a role in writing device drivers.

Features

Complete, end-to-end coverage of the Win32 Driver Model for Windows NT and Windows 98!
Systematic testing and debugging techniques for all Windows driver developers.
New CD-ROM includes all source code, plus Microsoft hardware standards documents, great demo software and more!
