why kernel32.dll is mapped at 77E90000 where is user addressspace??

[amit]

Hello friends

Here is the entry of address mapping:
77E90000 Image 720896 5 ERWC C:\WINNT\system32\KERNEL32.dll

also:
77F80000 Image 483328 5 ERWC C:\WINNT\System32\ntdll.dll

I thought they should be in the kernle addres space which is higher
than 0x80000000.

Why they are like this?

Thanks

This behavior is required by the C standards.

They were thinking of changing this in one of the TCCs to C95, but
nothing ever came of that effort.

Why would he want to do that, when Jacob had already answered his
question before you came along to stick your oar in where it's not
wanted?

It's a good newsgroup. OP might get a better answer there.

Those dlls contain the entry points to the kernel only. Not the kernel itself.

This is not a C question. You might try asking in
comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32.

Nonsense.

What part of the Standard are you referring to?

Section 8.3. Also Annex R (informative).

He's got a complete and correct answer from an expert here.

How much scope do you really think there is to do better than that?

Kenny is lying, and you took the bait.

In other news, water is wet.

You mean jacob and the one sentence? Do I also see these entry points in
/grub/menu.lst?

If you can't deduce context from a post with the phrase c:\WINNT\ in
it, there's no hope for you.

It is an integral part of the CLC mindset to pretend that Microsoft
Windows doesn't exist. I know of what I speak; I used to be like this
myself.

Of course you see them!

Just restart your machine and tell it to boot the OTHER os. Note
that grub is able to boot it

No hope for me because gwowen thinks I don't know windows. Should I just
stick my head in an oven?

Ok. It's new to me to have files that I can look at that tell me about
how I'm booting.
