so, which one - ntdef or wdm?
let me be clear - the only thing I need ddk for is NtQueryInformationFile.

Sorry, let me get it straight.
Are you saying that my problems are the "correct msvc behavior" and the
lack thereof in mingw/msys is an illegal leniency?
IOW, I should _NOT_ expect cygwin/mingw to ever do what I want (i.e.,
include both ntifs and winnt)?
On the other hand, there is this winternl.h file (on cygwin but not on
msys/mingw) which declares NtQueryInformationFile.
Maybe I should use use it on cygwin and ntifs on mingw/msys?
PS. Why are cygwin/mingw and msys/mingw so different?
which is "correct"? which is "better"?
will they ever converge?
thanks.
