Use NT reserve objects

[Demi-Marie]

They can improve robustness under certain conditions, as they avoid late failures

Care to elaborate? I'm used to Windows internals and as-is the description does not make much sense.

NT reserved objects can be passed to NtSetIoCompletionEx and NtQueueApcThreadEx, to prevent them from failing under low-memory conditions.

Alright, I see it now. It would be "reserve object" rather than "reserved object". Undocumented fields are commonly called "reserved" which puzzled me a little here.

For reference: https://wj32.org/wp/2010/07/18/the-nt-reserve-object/

That would be best filled against https://github.com/piscisaureus/wepoll

Do you have an example of NT reserve objects in action? I can't seem to find any projects that use it in practice.
