    Description

      Commit 43e2ab208a2d3d50b12b4689347f57ca83568dd9 added the use of OBJECT_HEADER to win32k. This results in win32k depending on internal implementation details of the kernel and is extremely bad practice!

      In commit 17be1062a29492ed641c68c0b33de999f8501bac and ea89346b76ed8277fc08c37a702564965f402eb8 this exact thing has been removed for that exact reason!

      Please revert those changes and wrap the corresponding structures in ndk into

      #if defined(NTOSKRNL) || !defined(REACTOS)

      to make sure this will not get broken once again.
