similar to: strcpy declaration

Hi all, If you take a look at the service.rb file in the win32-service repository (the new one in the toplevel repository path), I''ve got this bit of code, which succeeds, but I can''t seem to unpack the data structure properly. Did I pack it wrong to begin with? I should know this but I''m spacing out. proc_status =

I''m spacing - how do I unravel a protent struct pointer? require ''win32/api'' include Win32 getprotobyname = API.new(''getprotobyname'', ''P'', ''P'', ''ws2_32'') ptr = getprotobyname.call(''tcp'') puts "Name: " + # ??? puts "Aliases: " + # ??? puts "Number: "

Hi all, I''m forwarding this message from Brian Marick. If you run this test script and then paste the results into a Unicode aware text editor, you''ll notice that it only prints one character instead of three. I tried changing the strlen to _tcslen and strcpy to _tcscpy, but that didn''t help. I mucked around a bit with the MultiByteToWideChar function, too, but

Hi, I''ve been using FFI with a Ruby 1.9.3 built with MSVC++ and it''s been working well. One thing I''ve run into though is this: ffi_lib :msvcrt But that''s not the runtime I want. But I don''t want to hard code the runtime name either. I realize I could parse it out of RbConfig, but I was hoping for something nicer. Is there a way we could create an

Hi all, I''m having a little trouble with strtok: require ''win32/api'' include Win32 strtok = API.new(''strtok'', ''PP, ''P'', ''msvcrt'') string = "A string\tof ,,tokens\nand some more tokens"; seps = " ,\t\n"; puts "Tokens:" token = strtok.call(string, seps) while token puts

Hi all, How does this look as a general approach to a SID.create method: # Creates and initializes def self.create(authority, *sub_authorities) if sub_authorities.length > 8 raise ArgumentError, ''maximum of 8 subauthorities allowed'' end authorities = Array.new(8, 0) authorities.replace(sub_authorities) count = authorities.select{ |e| e > 0 }.size

Hi all, I know it''s deprecated, but people seem to still be using win32-changenotify, so I thought I''d see if I could make it pure Ruby. Also, I thought it would be a good opportunity to test passing a custom Win32::Event object. I''m mostly done I think, but I''m having trouble unraveling the FILE_NOTIFY_INFORMATION struct buffer. Please check out the

Hi all, Any Java/JRuby folks on the list? I''d like to see if we can implement api.c for JRuby using JNA and see how it handles the callbacks. I''m not a Java guy, nor do I know JNA, but I''ll take a stab at it if no one else on the list does. Here are a couple of useful links: http://www.infoq.com/news/2007/09/jna-jruby https://jna.dev.java.net/ Regards, Dan This

Dang, I thought we solved this. Any ideas?

Hi all, I''ve been working on the win32-pipe library (again) and I''ve reworked the interface. Instead of Pipe.new_server or Pipe.new_client, there''s now a base Pipe class, with Pipe::Server and Pipe::Client subclasses. You can find the latest code in the CVS repo. Oh, and you''ll need to update your windows-pr library with the latest from CVS if you want to

Hi Park, I tried your latest patch and ran the sample code: readPipe, writePipe = IO.pipe t = Thread.new{ sleep 5 while true sleep 0.1 puts "got #{readPipe.readline.length} bytes" end } i = 1 while true i += 1 sleep 1 puts "hello from main" if i > 3 writePipe.puts "a"*2048 end end t.join At the console I typed the

Hi all, Looking at the IO.readlines source in io.c, it looks to me like they grab 8k chunks, split on the input record separator, and buffer accordingly. Since it looks like ReadFileScatter() does some of that work automatically (in page file sized chunks), I thought I''d give it a try. Here''s what I''ve got, but it doesn''t work. I have an incorrect parameter

Hi all, I''ve got the latest win32-mmap code checked into CVS. Unfortunately, it seems that I''m not able to open an existing mapping and retrieve set data. Below is a simple example that seems like it ought to work but doesn''t. Any ideas? # map1.rb require ''win32/mmap'' include Win32 mmap = MMap.new(:name => ''alpha'', :size

Hi all, I decided to check the responsiveness of the pure Ruby vs C extension versions of win32-changenotify. I setup this little file generator program: a = [] 10.times{ |n| a << Thread.new{ File.open("File_#{n}", ''w''){ |fh| fh.puts "test #{n}" } } } a.each{ |t| t.join } The pure Ruby version did not do so well. In some cases it

Hi all, I''m trying to get the allocation size of a file via a file handle (rather than its name). The example below works for FileNameInformation but I can''t get it to work as expected for FileStandardInformation. Here''s some sample code: # query_test.rb require ''windows/handle'' require ''windows/error'' include Windows::Handle

Hi all, One of the net-ping users reported that the Net::Ping::External library was returning false positives on Vista. Basically, it does a ''ping -n1 host'' and checks for certain error strings. The problem is that the error strings it checks for are in English. The user in question is using a cmd.exe that''s entirely in Swedish (I think). Is there any way I can

Hi, I''ve got a preliminary version of the pure Ruby version of win32-dir in CVS. However, I was hoping to work out the Unicode issue. Run this: from = "C:\\test" to = "?????" Dir.mkdir(from) unless File.exists?(from) Dir.create_junction(to, from) It works, but my explorer (and dos) window shows the name garbled. I don''t think it''s a font
