Introduction
Windows Via C/C++

What's New in the Fifth Edition
In the past, this book has been titled Advanced Windows NT, Advanced Windows, and Programming
Applications for Microsoft Windows. In keeping with tradition, this edition of the book has gotten a new
title: Windows via C/C++. This new title indicates that the book is for C and C++ programmers wanting to
understand Windows. This new edition covers more than 170 new functions and Windows features that
have been introduced in Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008.
Some chapters have been completely rewritten—such as Chapter 11, which explains how the new thread
pool API should be used. Existing chapters have been greatly enhanced to present new features. For
example, Chapter 4 now includes coverage of User Account Control and Chapter 8 now covers new
synchronization mechanisms (Interlocked Singly-Linked List, Slim Reader-Writer Locks, and condition
variables).
I also give much more coverage of how the C/C++ run-time library interacts with the operating
system—particularly on enhancing security as well as exception handling. Last but not least, two new
chapters have been added to explain how I/O operations work and to dig into the new Windows Error
Reporting system that changes the way you must think about application error reporting and application
recovery.
In addition to the new organization and greater depth, I added a ton of new content. Here is a partial list of
enhancements made for this edition:
New Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 features Of course, the book would not be a true
revision unless it covered new features offered in Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server
2008, and the C/C++ run-time library. This edition has new information on the secure string functions,
the kernel object changes (such as namespaces and boundary descriptors), thread and process
attribute lists, thread and I/O priority scheduling, synchronous I/O cancellation, vectored exception
handling, and more.
64-bit Windows support The text addresses 64-bit Windows-specific issues; all sample applications
have been built and tested on 64-bit Windows.
Use of C++ The sample applications use C++ and require fewer lines of code, and their logic is
easier to follow and understand.
Reusable code Whenever possible, I created the source code to be generic and reusable. This
should allow you to take individual functions or entire C++ classes and drop them into your own
applications with little or no modification. The use of C++ made reusability much easier.
The ProcessInfo utility This particular sample application from the earlier editions has been
enhanced to show the process owner, command line, and UAC-related details.
The LockCop utility This sample application is new. It shows which processes are running on the
