I would like to use some of the "undocumented" NTDLL functions from
within a C or C++ program. I would like to compile this program from
Cygwin's C or C++ compiler.
The functions I refer to involve Registry operations, such as
NtQueryValueKey() and NtEnumerateValueKey(). I found some sparse
documentation here:
http://undocumented.ntinternals.net/UserMode/Undocumented%20Functions/NT%20Objects/Key/NtQueryValueKey.html
I could not find these under /usr/include. Any suggestions?

Many of the ntdll functions and types are defined under
/usr/include/w32api/ddk. The definitions are not complete so expect
that you have to create your own header to define missing symbols.
Patches to extend the files in w32api (maintained by the MingW team) are
always welcome.

But they don't go to this mailing list. Check out mingw.org.

OK, I will submit any patches to MingW instead of Cygin. But, back to
Cygwin. The directory /usr/include/w32api/ddk does not seem to be
available when I use "gcc -mno-cygwin." I mean, I have this line of code
in my source file:
#include <w32api/ddk/ntapi.h>
This is how I am trying to compile:
gcc -mno-cygwin -Wall -g bodge.c -o bodge
bodge.c:2:30: w32api/ddk/ntapi.h: No such file or directory
So what is the proper way to use the DDK functions in Cygwin? You
mention MingW, so I assume that I should use the MingW compiler (gcc
-mno-cygwin). Do I assume wrong?
