The biggest benefit is performance. The other benefit is that many applications will cause ASSERTS on the checked build that cannot be recovered from. For instance most of Microsoft's WHQL tests would not work in the past (I haven't successfully gotten the DTM to work in any environment so cannot comment on these).
Note: the partial checked build can have more than this. For instance if you are developing something like a file system mini-filter, or an NDIS mini-port you want the checked version of the support code. This has the problem that these do not always work if you have the free build of the kernel.
I'm understanding your reply correctly, so long as I include the checked builds of the kernel & the HAL, then things should function fairly well for kernel mode debugging of drivers w/o introducing a whole lot of extra issues to be aware of in terms of having Windows still perform faily well & w/o introducing a lot of extra things that will interrupt that functionality.
And if I include the checked builds of the file system components, including the driver for NTFS and the filesystem filter manager, etc..., then file system filter & minifilter debugging should be faciliated, too?
If the 2nd assertion is true, is there a fairly complete listing of which files I need to get checked builds of depending on which type of driver I'm working on [e.g. file system related vs. NDIS vs. HID, etc...]?
TIA,
Chuck
