When compiling a source file which includes wdm.h from this project using GCC 7.3, it warns about:

km/wdm.h: In function ‘IoGetRemainingStackSize’:
km/wdm.h: function returns address of local variable [-Wreturn-local-addr]                                                                                                                         
      return((ULONG_PTR)(&Top) - Bottom );

According to msdn, it should return Top - Bottom instead of &Top - Bottom.

Using &Top takes into account the current stack location where Top and Bottom variables are currently located. Also remember that these are the official windows headers, so if you have complaints about them, you should send some feedback somewhere on their github (https://github.com/microsoft) These headers have just been dumped here by tpn.
