Version of Windows CE?

Generally, some standard Win32 functions can be called in some situations
from drivers, yes. There are also situations where you should not be
calling some or all Win32 functions. Those are documented in the help. If
you have a specific question, you're a lot more-likely to get a clear,
simple answer...

Hello,

I get confused with a fundamental concept regarding Windows CE device
driver. In Linux, we can't call standard C functions because Linux
kernel has no concept of C runtime library. Then how about Windows CE,
is it allowed to call C functions in a kernel mode Windows CE device
driver?

Thanks,
Marco Wang
