Re: Implementing NtGetSystemInformation(SystemProcessorIdleInformation)

Apologies, I thought that I had my mail client set up to automatically add the mailing list email on replies here, all that was discussed was trying to figure out if resources like geoffchappel.com are ok to use. I've avoided it as of now because I believe what's on that website was made from research on windows public debug symbols, and I worry that may violate the clean room guidelines.

For now I'm going to go over my code/conformance tests a few more times and submit a patch with what I have.

After a few hours of debugging I traced it to NtGetSystemInformation and have been trying to write patches for wine to implement it. My only issue is that the program only uses certain parts of the output, and I'm not sure how to put together the structure for it, should I just name the unknown fields "ReservedX"? I'm also not 100% sure where to put the structure afterwards, since it doesn't seem to show up anywhere in MSDN (I may be using the wrong name, I assumed the structure name is just the enum name in title case like the ones that are documented).
